    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Long live Win XP Pro. For me it has been the best operating system I've used. SP3 is stable and quite capable

    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Up until yesterday, I had an IE mode icon where the user icon is now on the right of the navigation bar. I would bet the goal is to eventually force an online user account so that you and all your activity can be tracked. Basically spyware. No privacy

    MS Edge Explorer option removed Windows 10 in latest update

    Ok, this works. I used to have an IE icon in the right side of the address bar in Edge to use IE mode, but that disappeared with yesterday's update. Good to know one can still use IE

    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...
