I don't know if it comes with any hardware to attach it and now I only have until tomorrow to hit the store if needed before the holiday. This made me finally think to ask for recommendations on the best way to anchor it (supporting...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Yes, I have been learning my lessons here. I still have not been able to participate in testing in a wanted way. Still haven't had time to mount a camera. They remain in a window. But tonight I learned of a cancellation in my schedule. I might be able to steal a few hours for a little fun.

    Faraday bags for all! I had my tailor make me up 3 suits with Faraday construction, just in case. But seriously, oh, what a world... what a world. smh edit: Duh! I didn't see the button to continue the story. My bad. It was informative and I came on too strong.

    New Camera time?

    ^^^^^ That If you can't find a replacement and since it's useless anyway, I would try to gently polish away whatever that stuff is and the scratches. Similar to headlight cover restoration. Kind of looks like the a coating was separating, unless that is build up from water. Then however you...

    Tail Scale VPN

    I was game to try Tailscale but now I'm not sure. It seems that I need to create an account using my Apple, Google, etc. ID to use their apps and services. Then I will be connected through their servers which are collecting data from my usage. Am I correct? I thought I would ask here to be sure...
