In general on making an executable run as a service, Microsoft used to have a utility that I used in the past (srvany or something like that). There are other third-party programs, like nssm, that are open source program. Check out: https://www.helpmegeek.com/run-applications-as-windows-service/

Per the "Spring has sprung...", the same feral cats come to mate around my house, spray, mate and make a ruckus at end of March. Always hoping for rain to help wash the smell away!

Are you able to take the cam apart? If so, check out this option, even though it's a different Uniview model maybe you can figure out the pads that can be shorted out to reset cam...

Are you talking about IEEE-488/HP-IB cables? Dealt with them on stringing scopes, analyzers, etc. and later HP-UX workstations to tape drives, hard drives, etc. My first home OS was CP/M, running on a home-built z80 system with two 5.25 floppy drives.

Up in NY, some people leave the outside of house alone (painting, etc), otherwise your taxes go up. If your old barn collapses, don't tear the rest down, otherwise they see that as an improvement...

One other thing that should be on the list is produce seeds, fertilizers, etc. so you can grow some veggies, etc. One guy I get a kick out of his YT videos is J Bravo. He moved out of CA to TX, bought a bunch of farm land, having a pond put in with fish, building a couple houses and out...

Very true, I was being sarcastic about New York Community: https://finance.yahoo.com/video/nycb-credit-rating-downgraded-junk-143152094.html

Surprised that New York Community Bank isn't on the list! :eek:

Like in 2007/8, just before it crashes, you have many of the talking heads telling you hurry up and get in before it sky rockets :). They want your help to push it up as much as possible so they can get out first. For taxable stuff, Capital One, Discover and even AMEX have high rate CDs...
