    Who knows... XI/TRUMP may make a deal sooner rather than later.... I'm a Hikvision fan so were not connected directly... but everybody in the US and China are directly connected despite our leaders

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Nothing wrong with that... I heard Trump today saying some Mexicans should deport themselves and then apply to come back right away to help with farming and (wait for it) hotels :) I think anyone who shovels should get good pay and 50+% break time... unless you're just bullshitting with a...

    If you wanted to cheat, you wouldn't claim to be age 4 or 114. How did I miss this "Brazil" movie? 1985, De Niro, Orwellian ... looking forward to watching it soon

    If a Xi/Trump deal takes longer than that, I suspect Donald will exempt Tesla from the tariffs. He wouldn't want his buddy Elon to turn on him. :)

    The White House is clarifying that Trump’s announcement of a 90-day tariff “pause” means that the “tariff level will be brought down to a universal 10% tariff” during that time, while “negotiations are ongoing.” That respite does not apply to China, which will see U.S. tariffs on its goods rise...

    At 104%, that was bound to happen... the uncertainty will create gridlock... tough situation for Chinese exporters. Will be tough for US citizens too if it's stuff we need. What a mess, hopefully a deal happens sooner rather than later.

    Of course, he does :) ... and he recommends all other counties do so also! I wonder what he will buy from the US to make up the trade deficit... could it be weapons?

    I wonder what will happen at 2:30 ... will Bibi capitulate to Trump on tariffs? Would be a great "win" for Trump by signaling resistance is futile.

    It's so stupid... how gullible do they think people are? Trump Tariff Equation = Trump Tax Equation * ((214.3/(100+114.3))-4+18-14)

    Fareed Zakaria mentioned today: Services imported/exported are not included in the "tariff" calculation. LOL This is really setting up an environment where businesses will have to further curry favor with politicians. Oh great.

    Best Image settings for night moving vehicle capture on Hik 12mm 1/2.8" 8MP

    The headlights on the car in your video are very sharp... headlights on my similar Hikvision 1/1.2" 4K cameras are a mess unless I use HLC... do you have any "backlight features" turned on for that camera?

    @birdseed has a typo in the heading... the camera has a 1/1.8" sensor... still not ideal but not the worst case I would at least try HLC on.
