"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."

Nice bit of fiction, but here's what actually happened when Sgt. John Basilone fixed a machine gun under fire. The results look a little different, don't they?

>"I've only seen two manufacturers who really understand that security cameras should actually be secure, Axis and Pelco."

I would add Hanwha to that list as well. Again, not cheap, but serious stuff.

>"So this isn't at all what you asked for, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway: Ubiquiti. You'll pay more and they're all PoE rather than wireless, but if you spend the money and run the wires (hey, you have to run a wire for power anyway, might as well use it for data, too) you won't regret the results."

I second that. Have a system at work and was impressed and bought one for home. You can do everything with their gateway and also stream to other devices at will. Everything under your control and stored locally. And their stuff is constantly improving. At home using the Cloud Gateway Max, U6 Pro WiFi, G5 Turret Ultras which are not that expensive and have a great picture, basic AI that works well, look great, super easy to mount and aim. And Unifi WiFi stuff is near the best. So you can have a great gateway/firewall/console, plus WiFi, plus video up in no time, and manage it all via a web page.

WiFi should never be used for cameras. It is too unreliable, too easy to fail, too easy to jam, too frustrating in every way. Running that cable is a hell of a lot better in the long-run (pun intended).

Hmm, $999 999 is six figures and quite a handy amount of money.

Pardon yes, the Lyceum was the school competing with Socrates. They sure didn't like him because of his annoying style of logic: A large number of simple sounding questions leading you off into a dubious direction, making you look stupid.

Socrates was executed because he did not want to teach in the Academy, but rather freelanced it under an olive tree for decades. Academia hasn't really changed in over 2000 years.

Same situation in Europe. The guys who built my house all had university degrees and the electrician had a masters degree in something. The two guys who came to clean up our garden and prune the trees also had degrees - the boss guy had a masters in botany - the only one with a degree that was applicable to his job.

first of all, a 56 billion dollar collapse is not a back swan event. its a nothingburger with no contagion risk. second of all, it's not going to collapse so long as corporate debt markets are available.

im not an MSTR investor, but i have been paying attention to what they're doing. their stock never deserved the premium, and MSTR is leveraged, but i wouldn't call them over leveraged to the point of liquidation.

Numerous stores already track you via your phone's Bluetooth signal.

That's easy to prevent: just turn your Bluetooth off when you're not using it and make sure it's off before going into any store that you suspect is using it to track you. Personally, I can't remember the last time I've had it turned on. Of course, I can't use those fancy wireless earbuds (or any other kind) because they don't fit my ears.

But an export ban is not. And it's often said that the power to tax is the power to destroy... it turns out that works both ways. If you can ban exports, you can accept a fee in exchange for not banning them, which is effectively a tax. Not sure if it would hold up in court, but it turns out that nobody willing to challenge it will have standing.

Hey it's been about 15 years, if you remember me, I'm the #1 Starcraft/Broodwar/Warcraft3 guy.

What you might not know about me is Steve Jobs and Larry Page used my 100+ pages to design the smart phone.
didn't sue them because I was waiting til they became the Surveillance State and they have..
So I showed my designs to Warren Buffet's Lawyers last year and Warren Buffet sold 133$ billion.
Steve Jobs didn't invent the Smart Phone, I did.
See designs at: www.techaform.com
In response to revealing to the world in Fall 2024, Apple/Google did not honor me, instead Tim Cook cost his company $833 billion fighting me:

1) Warren Buffet sold $133 billion in stock when his lawyers advised him my designs were indefensible.
2) Open AI cancelled its deal with Apple. $300 billion(future of Apple)
3) The stock market crashed on March 6th,2025: https://www.facebook.com/group... $200 billion
4) Eu fined/regulated Apple/Google... $200 billion

If I wanted money, I would have sued em 20 years ago for a hundred mil. I'm already succeeding in what I wanted to achieve.
I designed this to fight surveillance state.
Yes, I chose to not take a hundred million when I was young so I could help the world when I was older. Not many are like me.
I saw the phone would have GPS and everyone would use it. As a punk, I stood vs corporations and control at age 23. I saw it coming.
I had a choice: Don't invent the Smart Phone, or invent it so hard that I'd have a hand in the game down the road. I chose to bridge over the River Kwaii it.>
I have a solid following of over 100,000 people today... They see me as a champion for freedom world wide who'd rather live in poverty willingly than give in to the surveillance state. https://youtube.com/watch?v=G7...

>"MY prediction is that I will never buy a pair of these from anyone."

Me neither.

>"They are just another over priced 3D TV type product as far as I am concerned."

I love 3D TV. And it wasn't over-priced; maybe added 5% to the cost of my TV choice at the time? Totally different thing than being a Glasshole.

>"Seems like everyone wears contacts, gets lasik, or something?"

None of those work (or work well) for loss of near vision, which will happen to all of us. And many of us don't want to have to put on and take off reading glasses 1,000 times a day so we get bifocals or progressive lenses and just wear them all day.

Don't believe me? Get back to me when you are 40 or 50... :)
