    Need Some IVS Help - Rule Doesn't Seem to be Working

    None of the cameras with the human/vehicle target filters let you turn them off, in the sense of activating on any motion. Maybe one or the other can be turned off, but both at the same time, can't do it. Those check boxes in the UI are placebos. This has been an ongoing headache for those...

    Ever wondered why countries within the EU advanced faster than the US?

    In the big picture, the only direction the EU is advancing faster is down the drain. US is headed there too, just not as fast.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I wonder from where they pulled out the November inflation data? Here's the CPI-U that's widely used for inflation adjustments.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I'm a follower and don't believe much of it. Bad as he might be, Hillary and/or Kamala would have been a lot worse. Too bad we're never allowed to vote for a reasonable candidate. Besides that never being allowed to happen, nobody reasonable would want the job anyway.

    Has anyone been able to successfully file for Social Security benefits?

    I have a story of incompetence that isn't related to the difficulty of filing. My wife gets a small outside-of-SS monthly retirement payment, which was subject to WEP (Windfall Elimination Provision, repealed early 2025). We dutifully reported this to SS at the local office when it started. I...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I had read through 90% of this before giving it up as just another cheap lefty hit piece. I'm not saying it is factually incorrect as I wouldn't have a way to know that. It's just that after reading for a while you can tell that it leans heavily to the left.

    Has anyone been able to successfully file for Social Security benefits?

    I filed too long ago to remember too much other than it was pretty easy. It helped having an SS office close by and just going there to do it. As far as the account sharing goes, it's not just the government. My wife can't get an online account at one of our medical providers because we have...

    Money & Economics

    An interesting comparison I saw was that right now, an ounce of silver is worth more than a barrel of oil.

    I question it every time I check out at the food store.

    Healthcare

    I ran across an article that states what I think better than I can state it (I don't agree with every single thing in the article, just most of it). Some snips: The Affordable Care Act passed upon a mountain of lies about "bending the cost curve" and phony cost estimates. Not a single...

    AI Good and Bad

    I agree that this sounds good. I'm skeptical because it's from California, and I have CDS (california derangement syndrome). I've been clueless about the current manipulations mentioned, like street light and utility pole removal, sky swaps, and all the others. It sometimes feels like almost...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    When they made the hollywood extravaganza type of announcement about the J6 bomber, I thought that they better have the right guy, or all of the glitz and celebrating is going to blow up in their faces.

    Money & Economics

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I think rooftop solar is just as big a factor, if not bigger, for rates going up. Regulations vary by state, I use Oregon as an example. A "net zero" house pays nothing except a ~$15 monthly administrative fee. Yet the power company has to provide and...

    Dahua SD49225T-HN PTZ repair log

    No criticism of your post intended here. I just have to wonder about humorous ad copy like this: 10 core 10 pin design, the cable uses 10 independent cores and 10 pin connectors, supports high-speed data transmission, and has strong stability. Ethernet cables are suitable for devices that...
