    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...

    My PC is dead

    Bad time to have a dead PC as everything costs twice as much, if you can even find parts. Software issues aren't what I'd call dead though. The OS can be repaired/reinstalled. Use AI to guide you through the repair.

    The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

    I can beat that. Identify this thief that took a 6-pack of Coke from my neighbor's car- who is a police Captain. Captain asked me if I happened to have video because he thought someone stole his Coke since he knew he left it in his unlocked car. The couple happened to park 100' across from my...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I agree that AOC isn't going to have us standing before a firing the squad, but how many steps toward it should we take? Everything happens slowly, then all at once, and we're very bad at knowing where all at once occurs. All of that misses my point about how liberal authoritarians delude...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    ... can't figure out how to quote line by line yet since I can't figure out how to see the quote brackets... I was referring to the history of actual communists, and what would occur if "The Squad" types got their way. Those who see humanity as bugs don't understand human nature, and have no...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Commies don't learn from failure; they attribute failure to the competent/wealthy, sending them to the gulag. Eventually anyone with more breadcrumbs is seen as the problem, and they go to the gulag. Failure is never due to ideology that is incompatible with the human species, it's due to not...

    Gasoline-- how much where YOU are??

    ... which was the real reason for the incursion into Venezuela. Funny how we built refinery infrastructure perfect for everyone else's oil, but not ours. We just need natural gas powered vehicles. It sells at a massive BTU discount compared to other fuels.
