    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Sometimes people have to be pushed really far before they realize what they've lost and wake up. Let's hope things don't have to get too much further gone before that happens. But a generation or two of indoctrination by the schools and media (especially so-called "social media" may have...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Ever heard John Hartford's "Nobody Knows What You Do"? It's on the "Nobody Knows What You Do" album. Fantastic album and a fun song. It sort of fits, except that if you leave your camera enabled when you're on a Zoom meeting, EVERYONE knows what you do! :) The audio quality of that upload...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    So, if I click on "upgrade/renew", will I then have my work cut out for me for a few days? Or will it just install over my existing installation automatically these days? When I was following the thread about upgrading, it looked like it might take a bit of work to be sure you didn't screw up...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    And it shows "Version 5 eligible" in green letters. So maybe I'm still good to go to do an upgrade (if I dare). :)

    It does show it. 2/6/2020! I've been really lazy for a loooong time!

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    I wonder where I'd find an upgrade key. I have the key for the original purchase stashed in a text file, and I have a PDF receipt for buying the extended support and maintenance. But that was over a year ago! There's no key anywhere on that receipt that I can see. It's a PDF that they...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    OK. Entering my old key seems to make it run, and it claims that I again, have full, unlimited use of the program. Now, I probably need to buy the upgrade somehow again and get my butt in gear and actually install it this time! :) Thanks, everyone.

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    Nope. I will give that a try. But it's pretty odd that after all of this time, it suddenly did this. Again, I'll blame MS's update for changing something that BI uses to determine if the program was licensed. I hope it doesn't do a full re-install and wipe out all of my camera setups and...

    I'm going to blame the update that Windows apparently did! ;)

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    Well, I'm worse off than that. I have never installed 5. I'm still (or was still) running 4. I've just not had the time and inclination to do the upgrade to 5, especially after reading all of the thread about doing the upgrade. It looked like I would have to do a lot of messing about to get...

    Blue Iris suddenly says it's in evaluation mode, and I have no more days left.

    OK. I'm probably to blame for this, but: I have been running BI4 for a few years. It's worked fine, so even though I paid the extra to extend my "maintenance" or whatever it's called, so I could upgrade to 5, I haven't gotten around to doing it. Summer is the busy season where I work, and...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    So far, the "debates" and "town halls" have been an utter and complete joke. Anyone who thinks they've been fair is a complete fool. The media, tech giants, and "powers that be" are all exposing themselves (not in the way that CNN "legal analyst" Jeffry Toobin exposed himself during a Zoom...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    And now, we have SHITLOADS of Colorado license plate cars where I live in Wyoming. Coincidence? Just hunting season? Nope. They're coming here from all over. Washington state, CA, you name it. But especially Colorado. I just hope that they don't flee the states that have become unlivable...

    Dual NIC setup on your Blue Iris Machine

    But doesn't Windows gag if you don't specify a DG, and not let you proceed?

    adding police scanner audio to camera

    I hooked up the audio feed from a radio that picks up the local police, etc. But to do it, I had to come up with a way to create a feed that BI recognizes as a legitimate data stream. It turns out that while you can buy devices that are made to take an audio stream, digitize it, and then...

    Do you ever have one of those days?

    I have spent a whole day at work being annoyed that I couldn't find a particular screwdriver only to find it in my back pocket when I sat down at home later. Along with not turning the wheel early enough when parking or pulling out of a space, a pet peeve of mine is: Why do so many people swing...

    Ford Dealership Video

    I always enjoy your videos. They're well edited, and always tell a story. Now that "Cops" is off the air, you're all we have! ;) I think having a large number of cops show up makes things safer for everyone. A subject is probably far less likely to fight with or run from the cops when there...

    When You're High, Part II

    In the top video, the latest one, doesn't she just toss them off the far end of the balcony? Is she throwing them down to an accomplice? It didn't seem like she was stealing them as much as just getting rid of them. As suggested above, maybe just to leave the area dark for better hiding later...

    What does my dog do when he gets out?

    We had a dog who stayed in our fenced yard for a number of years. He could stand up and put his paws on the top of one part of the fence and look over it, but he would not leave the yard. Then he chased a cat under our car one day, and when we couldn't find who he belonged to, we had a cat...

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    I agree with all of that. It used to be even worse. There was some adjustment they had wrong, and when he got close to the mic, or raised his volume, there was nasty, harsh, annoying clipping (hard limiting) somewhere in the audio chain, and this went on and on forever. Just recently, they...

    Bike Rider Falls in the Street

    I thought for sure she had hit her head on the pavement until carefully looking at the slow-mo. We never had helmets back in the day, but I do think they're a fine idea. That could have been a lot worse. My wife worked on the rehab department of the local hospital. It doesn't take much to...

    A Tale of Two Delivery Drivers...

    We usually have excellent service from all of the carriers. There's no good place to hide packages at our porch, perhaps I should build some sort of "hide" for them to use. Then again, we have never had anything stolen. The only problem I've had that I can remember is a few weeks back when...

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    Glad I'm not the only one who watches/listens to Bongino's podcasts! He's been about 2 years ahead of the more mainstream reporters at figuring out how a lot of the chicanery has gone down as regards trying to frame Trump, etc.

    Cooler thief hit neighbors house

    Hey. What if that cooler belonged to the truck guy. Maybe he was over partying with the folks who live there, brought beer for everyone, and then left the cooler there when he left so everyone could finish off the beer. Then, the friend called and said "Hey, I left your cooler over by the...

    Did you notice that his accomplice, down below fled the scene, too?!! That's a great video.

    Burning & Exploding Car - Yes, really.

    You notice how the firemen do not approach the front or back of the car while it's burning. The 5MPH impact bumpers on modern cars have shock absorbers that go to the frame. Those shocks commonly explode, propelling the bumpers off at high velocity, which breaks a lot of legs. So they really...

    Lovely Neighbor

    There's no doubt in my mind that the silver car was speeding, and when they saw the white car backing out, they laid on the horn and braked to avoid a collision. And then they kept on the horn, probably annoyed that they had to slow down, and that the white car didn't change direction and pull...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I saw several encouraging things yesterday. The people who re-tested positive for the antigen in Korea, after having recovered, have been found to NOT be infectious. It turns out that the PCR tests "see" non-viable virus fragments, so those re-infection or relapse worries are overblown or...
