Starlink - anyone have it?
People with fibre poopoo the Starlink latency which is around 25ms. Unless one is a hardcore gamer, 25ms is incredible. I remember trying to play Quake 1 online with 250ms latency with DSL in the mid 90s. My latency here in Cuba is around 130ms with 4G and 100ms through the Nano connection... -
Starlink - anyone have it?
I've seen one in action here on the island (illegal but diplomats bring them as part of their diplomatic packages). Unfortunately, to have it work in Cuba, one needs to pay the $400/month Global Roaming package for it to work. But MUCH better than the government monopoly service. Not having... -
New LED streetlights!
I happened to watch this video the other evening: He goes into a lot of technical detail about how different LEDs are coated with phosphor and then goes on to replace the phosphor on the LEDs of a lamp that's gone purple. Not too labour intensive but we all know governments would like to...- CanCuba

New LED streetlights!
There may be a dusk to dawn sensor for the circuit so they all come on at the same time. But I'm sure they shut the circuit down if there are power issues.- CanCuba

New LED streetlights!
What an improvement. The light is even spilling over to the cross street and those videos are a touch better, as well. When I took the dogs out last night, a couple of the less savoury neighbours were complaining about the new light. I love it. Ended up dropping the brightness and contrast...- CanCuba

I Ordered an Axis Communications Axis Q1808-LE Camera
That's a great imagine. How much dialing in did you have to do? I'd be interested to see just how good of a picture you can get at night. This is great any better would be a huge plus. And somebody's pickup needs a good wash. -

New LED streetlights!
I'm going to see how much effect it has. It will really just be infilling the corner. I have the shutter set to 1/120 to deal with the rolling bar issue. So if I adjust anything it would be gain. But I may end up leaving it as they don't always put the streetlights on.- CanCuba

New LED streetlights!
Oh, joy! New LED streetlights were installed today. What I'm most interested in is the one on my corner which has never worked in the six years that I've lived here. Well, it did work very, very briefly when a short circuit caused the cover to blow open and the bulb came down in flames. But...- CanCuba

Pooping in the playground
Ok....I wasn't going to share this following story, but it now seems relevant to the thread. Mass public transit rail services often have side-tracks or pocket-tracks (only one entrance or exit) where trains are parked with crews read to enter service should a delay, or large gap in service...- CanCuba

Pooping in the playground
So, in a past life I worked for the Toronto Transit Commission, almost exclusively as a subway operator. I forget what year it was but it was before they had installed the surveillance camera system that they have now (mostly Bosch and/or Panasonic if I remember correctly) there was a serial...- CanCuba

I agree. I'd take the videos to any local facilities to see if he's a resident. This seems more like dementia/Alzheimer's/mental illness than anything malicious.- CanCuba

Yeah, the 51W draw is quite something. I imagine that's with the POE passthrough which would be a really handy feature when it comes to reducing cabling. -
Here comes Milton…
Lucky you. The Staffy doesn't like the rain but she'll manage if she really has to go. The Chihuahua...forget about it. Doesn't even like to get his paws wet. I carry him until the Staffy has a pee and then I put the little guy down and he'll do his. Then we're back in the house. -

Why are cars still parked there? Any why would anyone leave a giant inflatable up? https://www.facebook.com/share/r/917b1WsXLHACKg9Z/ -

Not sure if this is photoshopped or not but it looks like an alien or a demon. Hope all are well. -

At least he looked. A lot of people just throw/sweep water off their balcony with no regard as to who may be below.- CanCuba

First effects of Milton in Havana
Winds have really picked up. Hardly anyone in the street today. Good video of a Color4K/X shaking in the wind and then some good lightening over the ocean around 5am. The one dog spent most of the night under the bed. She'll stare out the bathroom window and when she sees lightening, she'll...- CanCuba

First effects of Milton in Havana
Thank you! No, we should be good in Havana. The western-most province of Pinar del Río will get much more rain and wind. They are most affected by the hurricanes. It's a beautiful place if you google some pictures. Very unique geography and it's where most of the tobacco is grown. Very...- CanCuba

First effects of Milton in Havana
This is the quickest I've seen the wind and rain pick up in my seven years living here. It's down to a steady rain. My Color4K/Xs were shaking in the wind.- CanCuba

And now Milton is on its way towards Florida. Hold tight, guys. Hope the damage is as minimal as possible.
