    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The "Eat the Rich" and "Pay Your Fair Share" crowd were never interested in balancing the budget or solving any real problem; they're simply Envious, Spiteful, Small-minded, Horrible Cretins. You can't reason people out of a position they didn't reason themselves into- that's a yuuge waste of...

    Money & Economics

    You spam post here, but the summary of everything ever is that the folks that cause 10x the damage to the enemy and sustain 1x the pain are winning. Those that complain about the 1x damage are not fit for anything because it's not a strategy for anything. Regardless of the sock color currently...

    Money & Economics

    The problem is that routes need daily, or multiple flights per day. There aren't enough business customers to fill an entire plane... so you fill in the rest with coach, which is still mildly profitable.

    Money & Economics

    Airlines not smart enough to secure fuel contracts when prices are low should go out of business. It's what Southwest does (and I'm sure plenty of other airlines). I mean, what special sauce do other airlines have that allow them to weather higher fuel prices?

    [Release] OpenVINO for BI

    The thread title is literally OpenVINO for BI, and the entire discussion is about that.

    Just realized this posted to the wrong thread, LOL. Don't know what the heck happened.

    American Flag Placement - Opinions?

    If you're not doing this, then where is the patriotism? The flag pole should cast a shadow over China. You should read the time from Venezuela.

    American Flag Placement - Opinions?

    It can't be seen back there. Also, don't listen to me, because I'd have you do this. Too big is like a girl too pretty, or a car too fast.

    Money & Economics

    How does overbuilding cause inability to pay the mortgage? Anyhow, markets get imbalanced by government interference, not free market decisions.

    Package Thief flips my house off

    Problem was the package was empty, and not coated in urishirol. Leaches need to feel it for a few days for it to sink in.

    Britain is Lost

    No, the Brits suck, and it's by every metric. Our average people are better, and our extremely awesome people are extremely more awesomer than their high achievers we don't know the names of. How 'bout you put up a Britt stat, and we all laugh and mock it here. You know how I know they suck...

    [Release] OpenVINO for BI

    I didn't realize I had to leave the powershell window open for this to run... and now python start.py isn't executing anymore. Broke it already.

    [Release] OpenVINO for BI

    Just discovered the Hardware Matrix Benchmark which seems to have answered my prior question. NPU is crushing it for all models. Still trying to figure out the face recognition thing. I created a name for every regular person at the house and put some photos into those names, but not sure how it...

    Sharia, Islam, Muslim .. pay attention to your blind spots

    I haven't listened yet... but a religion that assumes only 72 virgins satisfies our nature is clearly idiotic. Women are hypergamous, which is why men are programmed such that nothing satiates. The world is not enough.

    Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

    Cameras are pointless. We need Batman.

    Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

    I learned 'puters by breaking my parent's $3,000 Pentium 100, 16MB RAM, 1.2GB HD repeatedly and tech support being no help. We were poor too, so the fact we had such a beast back then was a huge financial sacrifice on their part. Never had a computer related class (except programming in high...

    AI Good and Bad

    AI is a tool, and tools can either be used constructively, destructively, or just rot your brain. The few who leverage it constructively will win big, those who just use it to rot their brain will lose, and the terrorists will have a powerful weapon. Just listened to this today and found it...

    [Release] OpenVINO for BI

    I just upgraded to BI v6 to utilize the built AI and see if it utilizes QuickSync better only to have AI tell me that since I have an NPU I should be running OpenVINO instead. Well, that was the hardest thing I've ever installed. AI was useless and kept insisting I can download from links that...

    Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

    I have 2 cameras that record the main feed 24x7 and get a couple weeks of footage on a 5TB drive. I've considered recording just the secondary channel with the primary only recording on trigger. Also been messing around with h.265 again. With firmware at the latest, I get decent quality with CBR...

    Crazy Shooting - Neighbors house hit

    How do you have so much crazy stuff going down all the time? Craziest thing in my neighborhood so far was a couple thieves that stole a 6-pack of Coke from an unlocked truck. Half the time I forget to close the garage door. My daughters once left the front door wide open during a 4-day weekend...

    Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

    I would be modifying my recording methods to reduce storage consumption before I pay the insane prices right now. Just wait 1-2 years and the market will flood with storage and prices will be at historic lows. Remember that all shortages are followed by glut.

    Sharia, Islam, Muslim .. pay attention to your blind spots

    I changed my mind on this topic- some women really are born in the wrong body.

    Sharia, Islam, Muslim .. pay attention to your blind spots

    The reason women go to church is because it's an institution of conformity, and women are more agreeable than men. It's why girls do better in school than boys. Primarily because they've been indoctrinated from birth (we all are), but also women are less disagreeable than men (more likely to...

    Sharia, Islam, Muslim .. pay attention to your blind spots

    This video 10x my understanding of Islam. I had a hunch that Islam is not a peaceful religion, just that most people aren't very convicted about anything. If they have to give something big up or be very inconvenienced, they'd rather not bother, but they're willing to go to church to have...

    BI 6.0.4.8 Install Failing

    Ran the installer and it needed the C++ redistributable installed, so I performed that install and rebooted as instructed when it completed. BI installation resumed, but said the C++ wasn't installed correctly. Repairing doesn't fix it. I'm stuck in an infinite loop or repair > not installed...

    I had another Dahua cam fail, but this post isn't about that.

    Squirrels teeth grow continuously and have to be worn down continuously. They chose the wiring of my solar panels for that. Fortunately I only had to remove 2 panels to get to the broken wire. Horrible creatures. Repaired cable

    Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!

    My RAID 1 14TB volume was getting thin on space, so I figured I'd pick up a 3rd drive and convert to RAID 5, but the price of that drive is double what I paid for 3 years ago. I decided to spend time de-duplicating files to free up space and wait for prices to come down. Long term I may end up...
