    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Well, with today's MS Edge update, it looks like Explorer was removed. The option no longer exists on my Windows 10 laptop. And while Palemoon does work, it is so painfully slow.

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    I agree, but it seems like there's more to the story than an unknown person passing by and deciding to randomly vandalize decorations. These two seem to have had previous encounters - or someone is just plain loco. If it's the latter, they need help

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    I would be willing to bet there may be some history between the attacker and the property owner that no one is fessing up to.

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    It's all fun and games until she picks the wrong property. Some people are quite willing to hand out an instant and generous dose of karma - no cameras needed

    Woman assaults witches in Salinas .. Ring camera captures as much as possible

    It's not like the decorations were political in nature. I guess there's a lot of mentally unstable people there.

    Warranty period on EmpireTech cameras?

    I cannot connect to the camera - it keeps reboot looping. I don't have the time at the moment to take it down and to a reset from the reset button and I don't know if that would work anyway since it is in an infinite loop

    Warranty period on EmpireTech cameras?

    I checked the time plan settings I wrote down for the LPR cameras, and they are all set to around 19:15, yet this camera started switching over to night mode at 18:31. This is the same camera that in the past would briefly switch to BW sporadically and then back to color during the day. I posted...

    Warranty period on EmpireTech cameras?

    Not yet. It just started happening. I did try connecting the camera to a POE switch and directly to the computer taking the NVR out of the loop, but while Advanced IP scanner can find it, I cannot connect to it. It just keeps saying "login failed"

    Warranty period on EmpireTech cameras?

    One of my B52IR-Z12B LPR cameras is resetting. When it switches from Day to Night, it goes offline and comes back on a minute or two later in day mode, but switches back to night again and repeats the cycle. I purchased it in the first quarter of 2025, is it still under warranty?

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    I would wager that the complaints from sellers are through the roof, especially when the policy infraction does not apply in most cases. Allowing AI to solely interpret policy is pretty poor implementation. But this is what happens when you try to use cheap labor who can barely speak and...

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    And more than likely, many are/will be receiving it. The AI implementation, terrible at that, must be very recent as I never had issues before. Going to piss off a LOT of sellers. Nothing like being cheap, inadequate, inept and chasing your core business away. I expect to see more of this in all...

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    Unfortunately, the person I was speaking with from eBay barely spoke or understood English, so they just let AI make the ruling decision since they did not understand the issue. What's next, is AI going to decide if we get a life-saving operation or turn it down based on a business calculated...

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    There's going to be a LOT of pissed off sellers if they keep using AI to make uninformed blanket decisions. Most are one step away from moving on, but there isn't a competitive site to do so, that I'm aware of

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    Yep, and good luck trying to contact someone at eBay who can speak English. I was on the phone to complain, and it was the same old third-world, barely speak English representative with an American name. I don't know why I bother because they raise my blood pressure with their nonsense reading...

    eBay now removing listings on Dahua cameras due to national security?

    I guess anything is possible these days. Issues like this and others is why I try not to deal with cameras anymore. There's no point in engaging in something if you have to put up with issues - life is short and getting shorter by the day. I can spend my time and money elsewhere and be just as...
