>"Until recently the only way to access the cameras from mobile was through the cloud service, you could access the device over https directly but then it wouldnt let you view video if you were doing so on a mobile device."

No, you could also use a VPN and access it directly as well. Granted, MOST people that want to use the app (and it is certainly not required) will not have a problem with using a cloud login in the app just for notifications and to stream the video. That is very "normal" for most any platform. But the video and settings are still coming directly from your own physical box. Unifi's cloud is just directing and connecting you to your box own box. And that communication is all encrypted.

>"Their IPv6 support is also very poor, and there are a lot of networks using CGNAT for legacy service so inbound legacy traffic is not possible."

They have made lots of improvements in IPV6 in 2025. If you haven't seen their stuff in a year, you would be pretty amazed at how quickly things have advanced.

>"There is no option to configure IPv6 through the web interface"

Yes there is. But I can't speak on the details, since I don't use it. But I see the settings.

>"There's also no built in dynamic dns support which is needed if the ISP keeps changing your prefix."

Yes there is. I am using it now. That has been available in the web user interface for years, I think. When last did you last use/look at Unifi's gateway???

This really isn't any different than requiring advertisements to disclose the use of paid actors. I can see it running into a few problems with internet advertisements though. I'm not sure it really matters though. Some people will buy stupid crap regardless of what kind of labels or warnings are put on something.

I dunno. They make decent enough output for shitposting on social media. While there is a certain amount of delight to be had in coming up with a clever limerick about someone's mother, some people really aren't worth the effort. The AI can do it well enough in a few seconds though.

I'm not sure I'd use it for any productive work though. Of course not everything has to be for work though either.

The ideal number of hallucinations is zero unless they are specifically requested for whatever reason. If someone told you they were going to kick you in the nuts 38% fewer times this week, you're still getting kicked in the nuts.

I'm not sure a person who's hallucinating could be convinced by another person that what they observe isn't really happening. I think a person has to come to that realization themselves in order to be able to not lose their shit.

Not really. Gambling (legal or otherwise) has been around for a long time.

What's changed is the ease of access. Today making a bet is a few taps away on a phone, whereas in the past you had to go to a bookie at the very least.

I'm not sure to what extent this can be fixed. I have a sneaking suspicion that even if all of these students were made to take a course that shows them how badly a casino, etc. will screw them out of their money that a few would just want to gamble even more because they think they can spot the tricks now.

Making it illegal won't really work either. Organized crime will just fill in for legal businesses. The internet makes it virtually impossible to stop unless a country is willing to implement levels of control similar to China and most people will not put up with that even if it would stop the gambling problem.

Really there's nothing outside of the ISA being open and freely extensible for anyone who wants to do so. The ISA itself is similar to ARM, MIPS, or other RISC ISAs. If you wanted to build a custom microcontroller for some purpose it would be cheaper to use RISC-V since it doesn't have licensing costs. Most companies aren't doing this though and just by OTS components that work with their codebase. If you wanted to create some dedicated hardware paths for computationally expensive operations, the RISC-V ISA lets you add those in. You'd need your own compilers to generate those instructions or to write the assembly code yourself, but it gives users that flexibility.

Otherwise there's nothing inherently magical about RISC-V that would make it better than ARM in some performance metrics.

l think this comment wins the thread.

The time has come for a European University CSE department group to reverse-engineer HDMI 2.1 and publish a compatible implementation on Github.

There's a solid history of this category of work going back 30 years.

They have certain legal protections for compatibility and public interest work.

This 1990's licensing model is antiquated and obsolete.

IEEE and ITU have abdicated their responsibility so sombody like Valve needs to do for transport spec what AV1 did for codecs and linux did for operating systems.

"A rising tide lifts all boats" is common among free marketeers and communists but opposed by fascists.

> Is there a huge difference between a criminal organization and a multinational corporation?

Yes, huge difference.

The common-law criminals running corporations get statutory protection from liability for the crimes they commit under corporate letterhead.

A regular mafia has individual liability.

>"any women "injected" by her husband is indistinguishable from a random woman with donated sperm."

Actually, that isn't quite true. There are subtle processes at work in couples choosing each other in unconscious ways. Some are based on smell, some on visual health cues. Interestingly, they tend to help make sure that they are genetically more "compatible" with each other. I don't know how effective it is, but I do remember reading about it more than once. One was really strange, it had to do with having women smell different men's worn shirts and describe what they feel, then compare to what various blood tests show.

What tells you people are leaving these?

Last I checked, Fecebook still has millions of active users, and fuckerberg is still raising a shit every time an app store adds a rule that restricts his ability to spy on people, as if he thinks he has any power to do anything about it. His net worth would take a major hit if people really left it, which would be funny, but it hasn't.

I still can't figure out what the fuck mastodon is, aside from the fact that Trump Social uses its code, and on toot.io right this second you'll find a feed of "toots" from people who only know how talk about how much they hate Trump, America, the right, etc. So I think it's safe to just call it Trumpadon. But at least it appears to be active, because there's definitely tooting going on. Or as the British call it, trumping. Either way, no obvious indication that people are leaving.

Bluesky is kind of weird, but there are sites that track how active it is. It gained millions of users at the 2024 election, then they seemingly just as quickly left. Ever since then, they come and go in little spikes that somehow correlate well with every news cycle featuring Elon. Oh, and the ones who stick around appear to find joy in painting swastikas on things, especially cars.

As for x...well, unlike Fecebook, it's not public and its valuation doesn't appear to affect the net worth of the guy who is most commonly associated with it, assuming its value has changed. The media enjoys quoting random people from it anyway as if the stream of consciousness of random twitter users is somehow newsworthy. But as with Trumpadon, no obvious signs that people are leaving.

It looked like you were having fun when you did it, so I thought I'd join in, didn't I?

Obviously I can't tell you what was in their heads with any certainty, but somehow you seem pretty certain that you can. You just did exactly that, after all. More than that, from the very first sentence in your very first post you seemed certain that I somehow "know it was morally wrong", despite the fact that I haven't even made any judgments about morality. Why? Because I wasn't the one out there getting shot, bombed, or kamikazed at all over the Pacific. Nor was I ever at risk of being tortured and starved in a Japanese POW camp. Obviously a different time, place, and circumstance, wasn't it? Much the same way it was no big deal to walk in on somebody in an outhouse and plant your naked ass right next to theirs.

But from that air conditioned armchair you've fancied yourself a proper judge and jury for 80 years ago in the Pacific theater. If you want to call out war crimes done at a policy level, as opposed to actions of individual soldiers, the best example I can think of is when the US handed over some half-million German and Italian POWs to Europe under the full knowledge that Europe was going to force them into unpaid labor, in many cases on de-mining duty, which was, even at the time, a war crime.

And what does this have to do with Porsche again?

The statement presented was whether it was a war crime. The answer is a firm no, and I already gave it to you. How much more candid do you want?

Besides, I'm openly troll. That's about as candid as a person can get. I'm not afraid to play your game, let alone beat you at it. I don't need a moral high ground when the very bridge you're playing stupid games on was already claimed by me.

Social media in and of itself is not. Certain forms of social media have been shown to be harmful, but this doesn't seem to make any attempt to understand or distinguish which, rather decides to perform surgery on it using a pipe wrench to the face. This is what happens when you act on a moral panic.

Either way, let Australia do Australia, I'm only giving you my take on it. They already make highly subjective things like parental ratings on games, music, and movies law, which is de-facto censorship by virtue of the fact that it makes it impractical to sell anything even remotely questionable in that market when stores can't legally carry them. Exactly why Germans only get to play games for ages 5 and up on steam unless they leave the country. Then again, as every German will tell you, if you feed him a swastika after midnight on a full moon, he'll turn into a Nazi zombie, so maby it's for the best that they ban that kind of thing and censor stick of truth there. Every country has a unique situation.

Uh, that was kind of my entire point. The sports card example I provided IS being marketed to children now. Directly to children. And their junkie parents with lottery-grade five and six-figure potential payouts if the stars align as Insta-tok advertises those cardboard dragon payouts as 'easy'. Makes Las Vegas marketing look like Mormons marching for manure costs.

And sadly, all you need is a parents approved signature on any debit/line of credit card and damn near any age kid can abuse one today. And plenty of parents do give their children a card, to simply avoid the "annoyance" of their kids bugging them for all those 'micro' transactions that shockingly add up to a $100/month spending habit, addicted to fucking Fortnite skins by the time they're 12 years old, voraciously spending under the innocent guise of "V-Bucks" being spent instead of dollars that would have normally paid the water bill.

Capitalism, grooms them early.
