    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    The Trump administration is NOT dismantling the deep-ocean observation system :winktongue:. There's a very simple and understandable explanation for what's going on: "....the foundation said the decision is not a cancellation, but a “descoping” aligned with a “wider strategy of a nimbler...

    New Cisco switch not powering Hik cams

    Are the two 3650CX switches the exact same model number? Some 3650CX switches have POE ports, and some don't.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    (My day to be Debbie Downer) That would be wonderful, but can it be done? My thinking is that in the big picture it's currently impossible. The schools have been infiltrated, taken over, compromised. The harmful Hollywood output is sucked up and supported financially by the population. Going...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    (Rhetorical questions, not challenges, and I'm not fishing for any time-consuming answers. Setting up cameras is a better use of time.) So how does it help to not vote republican? Is there a better alternative? I say in the big picture there currently is none. With few exceptions, congress...

    Having stage 4 Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), what this treatment is for, I'm naturally interested in any new treatments. While Vaxira's presentation appears to be technically accurate, it's very misleading and overblown to a casual reader. While it may in fact genuinely improve the...

    I'm more optimistic that that, even though the damage is severe. With the way the congress and voters are, nothing short of a major crisis will change the direction of the ship, and he's sure helping that crisis to happen. It would have anyway with the continued deficit spending, DJT is just...

    I look at this MAGA thing differently, that I'm still MAGA but Trump left it shortly after the 2nd term started.

    1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

    I replaced a fixed focal 5442 S2 with a fixed focal 54 PRO, and think its image is a wee bit better. I run it as if it was a 5442, not using the white lights or any of the new features. I also don't use its built in IR lights, using the same external illuminator as with the 5442. The only...

    I acknowledge he's dividing us by political lines and allegiance to Israel. Yet Obama was the greatest divider in my lifetime. He got pretty much everybody to hate everybody else every which way, with race being the biggest example.

    PoE cable routing in Australian homes

    Or for anything to do with the US government, which does cover a bit of the world. Or to be compatible with USOC wiring. "The T568A wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern for this standard, because it provides backward compatibility to both one-pair and two-pair USOC...

    Not the fault of the other 75% that let it happen?

    What's all this talk about home prices crashing? Home Prices Register Biggest Annual Increase in More Than a Year: Report (No need to point out it's from one of the everything-DJT-does-is-wonderful rags.)

    Does IR Light Deter Wildlfe?

    Hard to know without a controlled test. I haven't noticed any animals being bothered by the lights, but mine are only 4 watters. The cats do stare straight at the light sometimes, with a pretty bright reflection from their eyes.

    Money & Economics

    I was outraged when Biden used the petroleum reserve to affect gas prices. This is a national security asset and it should be kept full and used only for genuine non-economic emergencies. Now that Trump is doing the same thing it makes sense and is a wise thing to do. Drain the blasted thing...

    Money & Economics

    But we've been getting stuff cheaper for a lot of years, and in the process gave up most of our manufacturing capability. Now it bites us.
