    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I wouldn't be surprised - we get FUCKED enough by the left, particularly at election time.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Walter Cronkite, "the most trusted man in America", was a flaming leftard. It isn't always what they say, but what they omit that's most important. I'm betting old Walter omitted quit a lot in his time.

    I feel sorry for any good conservatives stuck in California. How does California not run out of money to give away?

    If they even think of wiping the blame on Musk's Twitter they'll pay a very painful political price. Blame and liability stays with those who perpetrated it regardless of if they're still emplyed by the company or not.

    I didn't know that either, but somehow I'm not surprised - considering the perp. No jail time either for that kidnapping. Interesting that he and his singular character acting talent are lovingly embraced by hollyweird anyway... Oh yeah, that's right, they delete all the content that disagrees...

    Seriously, it's become difficult to be surprised by anything potato and his fumblers do...anything at all. Hell, I doubt potato ever knew about it and if he did, he forgot it 30 seconds later. GD disgusting.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I can understand how a group of people become corrupt, but I cannot understand how so many people (some that have had good reputations earned over a lifetime) have succumbed to the will of the left, which is totally corrupt. Bill Barr, for example. President Trump appointed him yet he actively...

    OH SH%T

    That nice hole directly in the center of your copper looks exactly like something I'd have done...it's one of the reasons my "to do" list never gets shorter. My "favorite" is going to do a 5-minute job and end up spending 8 hours trying to fix the tool to do the 5-minute job with. War Story...

    Rip off alert - Digital River ripping off users on BI support

    I have been ripped off by Digital River on BI support also. They send renewal bills every few months and, forgetting when I last paid, I pay it. It's supposed to be ONCE per YEAR. My fault for paying it, but theirs too for repeated billing months before it's due. I contacted them and they...

    Another reolink headache

    sebastiantombs & wittaj - THANKS for the excellent information! I have gotten much help from ipcamtalk over the years - it'd be hard to live without it and the knowledgeable folks like yourselves willing to take time to share valuable information. I'll be signing up for the ipct plus membership...

    Another reolink headache

    Excellent commentary, particularly on updating firmware. I had been under the impression that updating firmware to the "latest" was to address security vulnerabilities; as you say, isolating cameras from the internet on their own network is the correct answer to security. What would be your...

    Another reolink headache

    I cheaped out and bought some reolink cameras...bad move. They work fine for the most part with BI but I have shadowing and reliability problems with them. I also have some 8mp Amcrest cameras that are much more reliable, but I don't really like them either. I had a hikvision bullet cam that was...

    Amcrest ASH43 - unable to login BI5

    I started having the same issue on an Amcrest doorbell camera. I have an ASUS network with AIMESH nodes - rebooting the mesh node that the doorbell camera was connected to straightened the problem out; I have no idea why.

    Who Is The Pig That Left His Trash On My Front Lawn This Morning?

    Hm. Usually nocturnal around here (Greensboro NC) unless they're rabid and out of their mind. Nothing like a loud howl at 3AM to get the blood flowing. They actually do howl at the moon lol.

    Nothing like an old fashioned neighborhood shoot out

    It wasn't that long ago that that random untargeted, random shootings, drive-bys, etc. were very rare where I live. In fact they were nearly unheard of. Now it's literally every single day with multiples on many days of any given week. All of the defund police stuff has taken hold and is bearing...

    Blue Iris - Methods of Reducing CPU Usage

    Ok, quick final update - I went thru Live preview frame rate - I set it from 30 to 10 - CPU is 9-10% - very happy with that & the rest of the tuning I'm going to forego at this point. Thanks again!

    Blue Iris - Methods of Reducing CPU Usage

    Had some time to move forward through the Camera Frame Rate (15) section - made adjustments, now CPU is hovering at....10% !!! I'll keep moving through the rest of the tuning and report back, but I can't imagine it can go much lower. THANK YOU to the folks that chimed in here and another...

    Good info on the i5...guess I'll be replacing my box eventually; according to MS, Windows 10 is good until Oct 14, 2025, so I have some time to find soda cans and pop bottles & turn them in for the deposit :winktongue:...

    Blue Iris - Methods of Reducing CPU Usage

    @mattp The status bar on the bottom of the BI screen shows 1.4G - must be BI's usage because the overall memory use (from task manager) is 4.8G. I purchased my HP Convertible Minitower (CMT) (not sure why it's named that way) on ebay too - it was a refurb and has given me no trouble (knock...

    Yes, as we used to say back in the day, RTFM. (Problem is, I couldn't FIND the F* Manual LOL, so I appreciated the steer in the right direction). @mattp I already used direct to disk before starting the wiki, so I focused on the sub stream next. The results were astounding. From 95-100% CPU...

    Bruce Willis acting

    I've enjoyed Bruce Willis movies too - not a huge Samuel Jackson fan, but Die Hard 3 is a favorite. Anyway, the hope is with therapy and rehab he can "rewire" his brain to function well again. Cheers to Bruce - get better soon!

    Car mows down over 20 people in Waukesha Wisconsin Xmas parade

    A "car" didn't plow through and maim and kill people, some goddamned blm/antifa/communist/racist moron did. His weapon of choice was an SUV. I'd say I hope he fries, but in today's world potato sh head will probably award him the Medal of Freedom.

    Install on eaves from attic

    Not trying to persuade you to use a tall ladder or go beyond your comfort level, but I have found that if I take a little extra time to make the platform the ladder is sitting on LEVEL and STABLE (so that it doesn't slip or move from side to side) that going up those heights isn't as bad as it...
