    Money & Economics

    I don't think the US government will default in the sense of not paying debts or liabilities. It will just pay them off with highly depreciated dollars. No need to default when you can create unlimited money out of nothing.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I couldn't begin to know if situations like this could change the result of big elections, but what about mayoral and school board elections that are often close enough that a few fraudulent votes would change the result? I've seen reports of certain ethnic groups taking over school boards and...

    Money & Economics

    This is a dilemma. If just about anybody else said this I'd agree, but Krugman is right up there with Cramer for accuracy. So even though I think he's correct, my krugman derangement syndrome has to say that crypto is wonderful, will end war forever, and cure cancer.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    The standard gas stop for me was "Two dollars regular, please", which would have been a bit over 6 gallons. I don't remember if that got a free Sunday paper or drinking glass, or if that took a fillup. I've said for a long time that we never should have taken oil from the Middle East. We...

    I didn't see the video until you pointed it out. You and bigred are correct, and I'll be eating crow after I pull my foot out of my mouth. I agree it's disgusting, right in line with the mocking he did against the republican primary opponents the first time around. After his mocking of Rubio...

    It's totally unfair to use a single still frame to claim someone is mocking, making obscene expressions, nazi salutes, etc. Anybody who is talking on video will have cherry-pickable ugly looking still frames just from the talking, moving hands around, moving body around, etc. Doesn't even need...

    Camera IPs need changed

    Not saying that. There's no event configuration in configTool.

    So first it was that they're weren't any "safe and effective" social media posts. Now it's just that government posts are not to be trusted. Here are some non-government posts. Are they to be belived?

    Camera IPs need changed

    But configTool does work to change IP addresses, doesn't it.? And the ease of using it might be in the eye of the beholder, and could be biased by what the user already has experience with, no? And for somebody with only dahua cameras, it doesn't matter that it's not usable on other brands...

    Camera IPs need changed

    I totally agree with that. I just have a hard time understanding why something that works so well for me is considered junk to avoid.

    My point is that there isn't any data from Wisconsin to be able to say that voter fraud is insignificant, and they're not making any attempt to find out. Only taking the time to find a few. Lots more searching for "site:x.com covid shot safe and effective", and also the other social media sites.

    Camera IPs need changed

    Pardon my grouchiness, but I think this is a lame argument. There are lots of reports of BI not working correctly and yet you recommend it. How many NVR bugs have been reported vs. BI bugs? Maybe 100x times or less? Are these instances where IE didn't work correctly? Have you used any...

    So we're to believe this without any references or data? Not going to find out in Wisconsin. "Wisconsin law also could allow immigrants and other temporary visitors to use their non-citizen IDs as a voter ID. There is nothing on those temporary or non-citizen IDs that say "not a citizen," or...

    Camera IPs need changed

    Beating a dead horse I know. Would be a lot easier/faster with configTool. No need to mess with the computer IP address, or log into the cameras. It is even able to assign sequential IPs to multiple cameras with one command. I've never tried this feature.

    What's Up With Boeing?

    It was indeed "breaking" news. I find it hard to blame boeing as they didn't make or maintain the engine that threw stuff toward the plane.

    low power build for BI, how low can you go?

    I'm running 19 cameras on an i7-8700. The machine draws in the 35 watt ballpark. Most of the cameras are 4 megapixel running at 15 FPS, both of which make a difference. One quick trick to try is to set the maximum CPU percentage to 99% in the power settings, This keeps it from going into...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    It sure would be nice if these social media claims gave some context, and maybe a reference or two if somebody wanted to fact check. I'll help: This "program" is not news, it began 5 years ago. It has been extended a couple of times. But it did help with graduation rates! "Since Oregon...

    Finally, an NPR article that I approve of! The trick is to order an extra-pages passport, which according to NPR doesn't have a trump version. Now that this is known, I wonder if somebody will get fired over this horrible oversight?

    Even though I know squat about soccer, I know what happened with this red card affair ;). If the red card was truly bogus, karma would have been for the US to win. When Trump stuck his nose in it he reversed the polarity of the karma, and the US team got shellacked.

    I totally agree. But what happens if the ref is biased and breaks the rules? Seems like a complete no-win catch-22 situation. Ref gets away with it, or the victim appeals and looks bad. Maybe this upcoming game should just get cancelled? No way, money rules. The rule supposedly broken is...

    AI Good and Bad

    To screw up something once might be a typo. Twice? Can any media person be that stupid? Should AI be renamed to AS (artificial stupidity)? Look too at how the picture goes with its caption. This is Fox news.

    About the red card affair, like everything else we're fed only propaganda and don't know the truth. A counter argument is that the ref issued the red card on the basis of a video review, and violated the rules of how he was allowed to use the video. Just another big can of worms.

    Can't use sub streams?

    A while back I had something (forgot what) that wasn't working on one camera, even though all its settings were identical to another same model camera that worked right. I eventually solved it by deleting the non-working camera and reinstalled it, copying the one that worked right.

    I connected a camera to 12V and POE at the same time. Now only 12V works. Help me fix it!

    I don't know about IESS cameras. Every one of the Dahua cameras I've opened up has a diode that's connected first thing to the 12 volt input, serving as both reverse polarity protection and to keep the DC from the poe circuit from flowing out of the DC input. The D15 on your board could be...

    Dahua NVR advice

    My NVR is 8 years old and may not reflect current products. I used the NVR and smartPss exclusively for the first 5 to 6 years, then eventually migrated to almost exclusive BI use, while also keeping the NVR going in parallel because it does a fa couple of things that BI doesn't. NVR opinion...
