    AI Good and Bad

    Here's what Ben Carson says. First couple of paragraphs pasted, rest at the link. Exclusive -- Dr. Ben Carson: Artificial Intelligence and the Erosion of Trust Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing nearly every sector of modern life—from medicine and education to software and...

    AI Good and Bad

    Looking from a different angle, AI opens the door to some meaningful benefits. One example that I have interest in is medical research. AI can theoretically be used to scan huge amounts of studies, trials, reports, etc. to connect dots that otherwise will never be connected, finding things...

    The official "WTF" thread

    The Des Moines school superintendent saga gets more bizarre. First it was discovered that he's in the country illegally. Then that he's registered to vote. Latest is that most of his academic credentials are phony. But here's the real kicker: "Following reports of inconsistencies in...

    The official "WTF" thread

    I've got a new "smart" tv and intend to never connect it to the Internet. What I discovered is that they send back to their mothership info on what you're watching, even if it's from an external device like a DVD player (they do this supposedly via screenshots). In return you receive targeted...

    Israel attacked by Hamas...

    Another reason to not believe anything we read... "Being paid by Israel to post on social media is also very lucrative. According to previously unreported recent documents, these influencers are likely being paid around $7,000 per post on social media such as Tik Tok and Instagram on behalf...

    Math expert here ;). "It’s also not certain what benefits, if any, would flow to customers with private insurance, who comprise about two-thirds of the US population." My family doctor runs a mini-pharmacy for patients only, stocking a bunch of widely used drugs. It's not extensive, maybe a...

    "Refundable" tax credits are just another name for welfare, where the government can claim it's not welfare. The federal level is the worst place to administer welfare, the local level is the best. There are some who genuinely deserve welfare. Once that's available, the scammers exploit it...

    Rachel Campos-Duffy Mocked The Hammer Attack on Paul Pelosi FOXNews' Jesse Watters defends Pelosi Attacker The label on both of these videos is very dishonest. In the first one the reporting was transitioning from the awarding of a medal of freedom to the Pelosi attack, and Campos-Duffy made...

    I made a good faith attempt at understanding what this article says, and have to admit it's tougher to comprehend than setting up a new camera. What I think reality is: Revaluing the gold doesn't change anything. The country still has the same amount of gold that has the same market value...

    I think in some cases it will be a good help. Take a couple who bought a house 30 years ago or more when it was possible with a middle class income. Now they're retired living month-to-month on social security, paying no income tax. That house now can max out the $500k gain, and selling it...

    I have a friend whose son has PTSD from one of the wars. He's constantly in and out of jail. He hasn't done anything violent, just stupid things that are easy for any normal person to avoid. It's really depressing to watch it happening. An uncle of mine shared some of the WWII carnage, and I...

    Warranty period on EmpireTech cameras?

    Not answering your direct question, just make sure the switch port isn't shutting down when the load of the IR lights comes on. Been there, done that.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    What I'm even more enraged about is how the left is downplaying his illegalness, boasting what a great example he is to the kids, and claiming this shows that even citizens will be rounded up by ICE.

    This situation is batshit crazy. Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent detained by ICE Notice the headline doesn't say WHY he's being detained. Must be bad guys ICE, right? Only when you get past the headline and byline do you get some real information: "The press release states that...

    "Speaker Johnson cannot stop it" We'll see about that. 218 votes means 218 opportunities to bribe and/or threaten. And if that doesn't happen, the files could be accidentally lost, destroyed, or commit suicide.

    Blue Iris not picking up up ONVIF from Dahua T54R cameras.

    I had a similar problem once. Something (I have forgotten what) wasn't working right on a camera, when another identical camera with identical BI settings worked. I compared the registry data for the 2 cameras and found one setting where I could fix the non-working camera by flipping a...

    PoE+ power issues on ~90m Cat6 run — need advice

    I run a few cameras at the end of runs approaching the 100m limit, and one at 400 feet, with no reboot problems. The camera on the 400 foot run is a T180 that has a spec'd maximum draw of 11.8 watts. By the numbers, I don't think there should be a power problem due to the wire length. The...

    Drive Overallocated

    For at least the BI version I run, if I leave any settings window open, walk away and forget about it, my storage drive will be overallocated in a day or so. I've done it a bunch of times and can't seem to learn :-)

    Are you closing all of the settings windows? Every time I slip up and leave one open, BI overallocates.
