    Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...

    Google meet was the business version of Google Duo. Duo was meant for person to person video calling. From Google: "Duo is a simple, fast one-to-one video calling app for everyone—whether you’re on Android or iOS, a fast or slow connection, in New York or New Delhi. Like Allo, Duo is based on...

    Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...

    My work gives us an android phone. I despise it. Facetime is 10x better than Google Meet. Google Meet can be installed but not linked to an android phone. That means you can't always call the other phone. If calling isn't available, the workflow becomes creating a meeting room, copying the link...

    I would fall more in the engineer camp than the artist camp. But I pick the MacOS gui over the windows gui.

    That's a bit vague. And I'm not sure how that fits under woke. Maybe I've just been using macs for so long that most of the interface seems to make sense. It all seems pretty intuitive.

    Who here uses a Mac (all Apple devices in general), and why? Seriously...

    Are you really looking for why people use a mac? Or is that just a cover so you can rant as to why you don't like them? I'm not sure what the woke theme of macos is. My main computer is an M1 macbook pro. My main hobby computer for xlights and lightburn is an M4 mac mini that replaced an m1 mac...

    is POE++ a reliable option?

    I knew on paper it would work. I just didn’t know if people’s real world experience has been different. I had seen the 1 to 2 splitters that fit inside the junction boxes mentioned on here before but I don’t recall seeing something like this mentioned as a solution.

    is POE++ a reliable option?

    I want to add 3-4 cameras in a new location. However, I'd prefer to not run 3-4 new lines to that area. I can add a 90w poe++ injector, run 1 line, then hook the cameras up to a PoE Passthrough Switch like the one linked to below. Is that a reliable option? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQ2H55FY

    Ha...I remember it's like this every lottery. He'll draw the next round between 3p and 8p. It builds the suspense.

    Funny / Satire

    I get it. It's a tough subject to comprehend. I had to watch it a few times to finally get it. Perhaps the Spanish version might be easier to understand?

    Funny / Satire

    Just in case anyone didn't understand what a turnaround was. I couldn't find the educational video thread so I'm posting it here.

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    No car before hand. I do not know if a bug happened to settle right in front of only that lens. It stayed that way until it switched to bay mode at 7am. I'm not sure what you mean when you say those times are off.

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    It was better last light. Although something interesting happened around 4:30am. I've got all the ir's set at 100%. One of the 3 cameras just went dark as if ir lights had been turned down or off. However, the other cameras weren't affected. I'll check tonight and see if I can figure it out...

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    Yeah...a trimmed bush is always better. I do need to take some off the top. I'm actually going to pull them up but I have to build some planters first. HOA rules say there has to be something planted there.

    Teaser Info and Mini Review - Empiretech B52IR-X3 Triple Lens Camera

    My day settings seem to be pretty clear but that's the easy part. My night settings aren't bad but I feel they can be better, specifically my distant. It just looks noisy. And that's where I get stumped. I don't know enough to be able to make a change during the day that will result in a better...
