A family member works for law enforcement in the camera and data department, and uses Flock cameras all the time, for all kinds of crime. They have proved very useful and have improved the departments efficiency tremendously.

All access to the software is logged, and every access has to be reported and attached to investigations.

I personally do not want a surveillance state, but it seems silly to ignore technology that improves law enforcement and saves money at the same time. As long as strict controls are in place, which do not allow abuse, and it remains within the strict uses outlined by law, why not?

Sadly, you're exactly right. Things were pretty cool when engineers ran Google. Now the MBA's have taken over, and it's no longer the "disruptor". It's the "establishment".

They aren't creating the vulnerabilities, they're finding them and creating exploits.

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

Namecheap actually shut off access to my cpanel for a few hours, while they applied "mitigations". I hope it's enough.

I hope you find something good soon.

I was just thinking how awesome it would be to actually smell those mountain flowers while doing Skyrim VR. Talk about immersion.

will it run off after a rabbit and give you an hour of exercise? Get a real dog people! They clean up all the food you drop. Help you remember countless things, like, what food they can and cannot eat. How much you should feed them. They get you out for walks, see nature, keep your vitamin D dosage up. They help you socialize with other people that have dogs and give you something to talk about instead of awkwardly avoiding politics and just talking about the weather. For bonus points you can get a proper hunting dog and really have fun.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro M4 Max with 128gb of RAM, and it's quite capable of running the Qwen3 Coder Next LLM, an 80B model, and the Nemotron 3 Super model, a 120B model, with extremely good performance. I still use Claude and ChatGPT because the work I do involves writing software using Swift 6--and neither model has been trained on Swift 6 yet.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

Exactly. I've never watched him in any form, but I do remember him from the BTS of the Hobbit, and some internet videos showcasing his knowledge. He's a real fan. That's really what LOTR needs.

If Peter Jackson is attached, I'd watch it.

Such as freetaxusa. Search around. Turbotax is so lame and overpriced. Rant: we should just have some basic withholding percentage, tariffs, and then a similar basic flat percentage from all corporate revenue. No funny deductions, no net profit games, just revenue almost like a federal sales tax. IMHO if these were some reasonable level it'd be fine, we could then fund the rest on deficit spending (like we're so prone to do anyways.)

....... uhh, we'll get back to you.

Not defending Milton at all, but it bends the constraints of credulity to say that he "tricked' his former friend into asking for money. If he was being confronted by Robb for his sexual sins, how did he manipulate the conversation into convincing Robb to ask for money to keep quiet? Just because he was poor? That is severe mental gymnastics.
