    Feds cut interest rate again

    Yeah, likewise, the odds of my house being destroyed is fairly low, although the idiots at CAL FIRE, in their quest to continue to build their empire, are now making "doom and gloom" updates to their fire risk maps, adding more and more homes to it each year. The result of this is lots of...

    Feds cut interest rate again

    I understand where you're coming from, and a lot of those reasons are personal (no "one size fits all"). That said, extra money paid into the mortgage is not really "money in the bank" because it's not liquid. If you need to access it, you'd need a HELOC or similar. I, for one, cannot cancel...

    Feds cut interest rate again

    I'm older than dirt, have a huge mortgage, but in no way am I going to pay it early... At a rate of 2 7/8% with tax deductions on interest paid, I get more return on opening CDs with any spare $$$ (and keep the money more liquid) than if I were to pay off the mortgage early. To me, this is the...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Unfortunately, based on how unlikable she was in the 2020 primaries, that she still can't finish a sentence without her annoying cackling, and her inability to increase her IQ above 60 in the past four years, she'd never make it out of the primary. Of course, the reason for that wouldn't be her...

    Quantum Computing - RIP Moore's Law

    I've always disliked Moore's Law because it wasn't a "law" in any sense, but ended up being something that the semiconductor companies chased to their own detriment-- the more they went after it, the less they could charge for their products. Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot as an...

    Fire truck rams car for not giving way

    In my experience, the air horns give quite a bit of extra "oomph" when needed as well.

    Fire truck rams car for not giving way

    Hey! I recognize that-- I grew up about 5-6 miles from that location. The car driver is certainly an asshole, but the engineer could easily have backed up a couple feet. I know that my department policy is that if you are involved in any type of collision, you are immediately out of...

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    And, on top of this, the idiots at the state level passed a law that forces refiners to keep a larger supply on hand, and they claimed that this will cause the prices to... drop. LOFL!!!!! Clearly, no Democrat in Kalifornia has ever taken a course in economics.

    Arjun, where are ya?

    It would be better if they could at least spell the name of their product correctly... it's "wiener". The way they spell it would be pronounced "whiner." That's all from the spelling Nazi today.

    I'd be happy if the Democrats would support the US Constitution instead of wiping their asses with it.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The last time I checked, "equality" meant treating all people equally, not giving preferential treatment to some at the expense of others. DEI has nothing to do with "equality" and, in fact, demands inequality.

    Bitch-- Read the fucking Constitution and tell me where it is written that the Federal government should be paying people's rent. Stupid asshole.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Wow. She dodges the press and any real interview. She's weak and feeble, as she can't even answer softball questions from friendly interviewers. Her running mate is just a few bubbles off. And she has the audacity to say these things about her opponent, who is traveling all over the country...

    Ten years? No, much longer... At least 20, when they faked the Audi "auto-acceleration" bullshit by modifying a car to show that it was doing something it didn't.

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    I had to LOL over how long it took them to open the hood... We keep a battery-powered DeWalt cutoff saw on our engine. Make four straight cuts (diagonally across the corner at the "A" columns to remove hood from hinges, and a V-shape around the latch) and the hood will be off in a couple...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Yes, no apparent smarts built into Unifi Protect. And at this point, no ONVIF trigger support. It's essentially like a backup to my BI, and as HMC8403 said, a way to check the cams without signing into VPN.

    Stupid people deserve their own thread....

    I like the way the cop shut the asshole down immediately with the "we ain't playin' that game" statement. So many of these get drawn out so long because the cop shows far too much patience when not warranted.

    Money & Economics

    As one who lives in a high tax state (<-- understatement of the year...), I agreed with the limit on philosophical grounds-- the Federal government should not suffer lower revenue because some states are horribly run. That said, I wouldn't complain if the limit was increased or eliminated...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    For me, it just worked. I have my main network on 10.x.x.x, with the cameras on 192.168.50.x. On the "Unifi Devices" page of Protect, you have to hit the help question mark in the upper right, and then you'll see this: Choose the "try advanced adoption". I typed in the IP address of each...

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    Good question. Not sure exactly, I just know that it allowed me. IIRC, I went into the app settings and it was offered as an option to me. I've had my UDM-P for a few years now, so maybe there is some minimum amount of time with an account that is required?

    HUGE RUMOR: Unifi Protect will support ONVIF cameras (like from HIK/Dahua)

    I downloaded the early access version and set it up yesterday on my UDM Pro. I had a 10TB disk sitting around, so I popped it in. I was able to add all but one of my cameras (a mix of old Axis P3343, Amcrest PC2M-841, and various Empiretech 5442 models). The one that I couldn't is an old Axis...

    No, this is just plain stupid. Essentially, they passed TEN NEW LAWS to counteract the stupidity of the one law that enabled criminal behavior as long as the value was under $950. The idiocy is astounding.
