    Money & Economics

    Correct, but on the other side of the coin this is what a few representative gold stocks are doing today: I've noticed in the past that when the stocks illogically go down, the bullion price follows them down within days. (I've also noticed that when I make a financial declaration it usually...

    I'd opine opposite that. Smaller geometry means more speed and less power going up as heat, both pretty important as mankind wipes himself out with technology.

    Why Washington's Panic Over Kennedy Tells Us He's Close To The Truth | ZeroHedge Long article, here's the beginning: During World War II, bomber crews flying over Germany were experts in anti-aircraft ordnance. I've read accounts where pilots and crew were able to predict their location by the...

    Good POE switch for new NVR

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The coordinated campaign to oust RFK Jr. from the Trump administration is not organic—it’s a meticulously planned, multi-million dollar operation by Big Pharma, exposed by a leaked memo. In July, the Brownstone Institute revealed a bombshell document from Bio, the powerful lobbying arm of...

    The propaganda: “Let’s be clear, President Trump is spinning lies and false claims about vote by mail” “Oregonians know the truth. We know vote-by-mail works. It’s reliable. It’s secure. And importantly, it results in more people actually voting and participating in our community and in our...

    But is it more honest and/or accurate? Similar to how we call prisons correctional institutions?

    EU follies

    I learned a bit more. This election is for local seats in one German state. AP is reporting a total of 20,000 candidates (for all parties, not just AfD). If this were to be correct, I could buy the statistically insignificant argument. Adding to the statistical likelihoods is that these...

    Logic dictates that there will be price increases from the tariffs. The debate is if it's a good thing or not. Short term thinking thinks it's bad, makes it harder to get cheap stuff right now. Long term thinking says it's good, that we finally quit giving away our manufacturing capability...

    EU follies

    This is now in the German media, so I'm starting to believe it's true. From DeWelt: Zahl der verstorbenen AfD-Kandidaten steigt auf sieben Roughly translated as: Number of dead AfD candidates rises to seven. The story is buried in the middle of the politics page, and I would have thought...

    Healthcare

    In Oregon the insurers on the "affordable" care act exchange got a 10% rate increase for 2025. They are filing for another 10% for 2026. No inflation???

    From a random article: The dump of over 33,000 pages — many of which were heavily redacted In other words, the files weren't dumped, released, or whatever. Just as honest as no tax on social security.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    From my time working in the industry, my observation is that they would not allow any competition for applications. A company with a competing product would either be purchased or driven out of business by Microsoft bundling the competing app in windows, or selling it at a lowball price. I saw...

    Counter opinion: To succeed at genocide, they'd have to pull it off without it looking like genocide which IMO precludes doing it quickly. All hypothetical thinking of course.

    For me, this "smartness" is a disease that keeps getting worse and worse. Our newer smart dryer almost always stops with the clothes still damp, while the old dumb one with the mechanical timer did this pretty well. It's the cars that are the worst: The auto dimming mirror that won't dim when...

    I guess I'm disagreeing with you because I don't think any of us mere mortals know what the truth really is. As far as mass propaganda goes, yes if what you're seeing is really mass propaganda, it would be massive and thorough to the point of impossible to comprehend. But I also find the pager...

    Here in Oregon there's a special session going on to raise gas and other auto-related taxes and fees. The dems are using their usual screw-the-little-guy fear tactics, saying give us the money or we won't fix any potholes or plow the snow. Some of the current tax money goes to government pet...

    I hope you realize that you see the same warping of reality in what you read about the USA. I hate to sound like I'm fighting against the person who adds so much valuable technical content to the forum, so I'm trying to look at what I'm saying as spirited debate without anything whatsoever...

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Agreed, but I'd still rather buy black. Others may do better, but my spray jobs don't come close to the durability of the factory black. And it is a bit of work to mask off the round face in a turret and get the cable painted.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Good advice and I promise this will be my last post here. Maybe you're still running a corrupted V3 in the NVR. If you have the firmware file for it you could try reloading that one. I tried to upload my early V4 firmware to the Resources section, but as with photos, it's broken.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    With too-new firmware on V1 hardware you've become a test pilot. Perhaps as bigred says it's not bricked in the sense of totally dead, but rather some things don't work right and maybe others do. I'm running V4.001.0000000.3, Build Date: 2020-05-19 on the V1 hardware. Perhaps that version is...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Hopefully somebody can get you back to a running V3. Wish it was me, but it's not. If you're able to get back up you can go at least to a mid-life v4 version like I'm running. I think a 2016 machine is surely V1 hardware, but that's only a semi-educated guess.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I don't remember details as it was years ago. There was one point where you couldn't directly upgrade from an older version to a new one without going through an intermediate version first. I think this came into play if the current firmware was one of the V3 versions. Just throwing this out...
