    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Dang. Cancer seems to be popping up everywhere these days. We have a friend who is currently dying from pancreatic cancer. My dentist just barely made it through kidney cancer. As I did, you will be learning a lot about cancer that you never wanted to know. Mine is very different from...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    "Larry Ellison Suggests mRNA Vaccines can be developed for every Individual Person to cure things like Cancer" Speaking as someone who is carrying a cancer that statistically will have me dead within 2 years, I would strongly support this, only if it really works of course. As a random...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I have an additional point of view about this. When I was working in my high tech job I worked with a lot of engineers from India. Just like other ethnic groups, there was a distribution of talent from not-so-bright to brilliant. The way it affected me was that they were mostly unattached...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    This phrase is unfortunately subject to interpretation, and I expect it to end up in the supreme court. An honest process would be to discover why the amendment was adopted and what its intent was, then base the decision on that. In practice it will be decided by political leanings of the...

    I took mine down the day the phony indictment came in. My leftie neighbor took his down the day after the election.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Sounds like you owe me :). If I had to give up one of them today I'd keep the NVR. Since I can keep both, I'll use each one as it benefits me the most.

    Funny / Satire

    Putting these two observations together can be taken as saying that honesty in advertising doesn't exit. Sounds about right.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    I agree with at least some of those review comments. I use smartPss for viewing and think it's much easier to use than either the native or web interface of the NVR. One glaring example is the event color bars are not visible on the NVR interface unless you stretch out the timeline. In...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    About that flamethrower. It was a propane or MAPP torch, but blowtorch must make a better clickbait headline. Then since ONE person called it a flamethrower, that makes for an even better clickbait headline. Damn press.

    IPC-Color4K-T180 troubleshooting

    Another thing for the list of suspects is the possibility of the switch cutting off power to the port. I've had this happen when the load on the port exceeded the port limit. It could also happen if the total switch limit is exceeded.

    Money & Economics

    I've been saying that for the last 30 years. I'm flabbergasted by how long they have kept all the balls in the air. The only way out IMO is huge inflation, otherwise known as stealing from everybody who was honest and prudent, while rewarding the fraudsters and the careless (both of which...

    Blue Iris Constantly Crashing

    I worked in an organization that designed and built PC cards and peripherals. This was back in the 286/386 days. We had all the latest equipment like fancy 100+ channel logic analyzers. I was always in disbelief when in this environment, the solution to a problem was to attack the contacts on...

    BI Finding Amcrest Cams, but not EmpireTech

    Mine too! Besides providing the easiest way to get new cameras initialized and set to the correct IP, I've found it to be a lifesaver for some camera settings. For reasons I am not able to explain, none of my browsers (brave, pale moon, IE, firefox) can change the video encoding settings on a...

    BI Finding Amcrest Cams, but not EmpireTech

    It's painful for me to read this thread because there's surely a simple explanation waiting to be found, which I'd guess is either an IP address conflict or not using the tools correctly. This is not meant to be a ding, because some of the steps aren't intuitive until you learn the hard way how...

    Malibu Fires

    My take on the fires spreading. Yes, they go uphill on their own, but the addition of the Santa Anna winds blows them to the west, even if downhill.

    IR Illuminators?

    I started a thread 6 years ago about 4-watt IR illuminators. The 2-year summary in post #9 is still holding true today. I think I've had one of the IR-40s fail since 6 years ago, and still use the AI4 in a couple of places where the black face is important to me. I've painted all of the...

    I just can't come to believe this. I'm not saying it's incorrect, which I don't know. It's that I can't comprehend something as evil as what this is saying.

    MUSIC - Great Musical Geniuses

    Speaking as a music illiterate, I think there are a lot of geniuses out there. I've known a few. The kid-age ones absorb math much easier than the general population. The adult ones speak multiple languages and seem to learn a new one pretty easily. I realize there's a difference between...

    Malibu Fires

    There are reports of arson creeping out. With my normal caution I'm not going to jump up and believe them. On the other hand, what an easy opportunity for a terrorist to cause massive damage. Could this be another cost of the open borders?

    Can I use NVR to detect animals?

    Can't turn off the filters in the 5442T-ZE. You would think you can because there's a setting that lets you turn them off, but it doesn't work. Only humans, vehicles, and fairly rare errors will trip the IVS.
