Dude you just listed several issues with toy cameras. That's the gap. PoE cameras are only slightly more expensive, don't hog wifi airtime and cause latency spikes for all the other devices, last decades instead of weeks, have muc

This is not an excuse. Either the nonprofit can have the charitable mission of building a free web browser or the corporation can accept donations that aren't tax deductible. Their leadership obviously wants to spend their money on stu

Yeah I think a lot of people forget that students talk on the radio on their first flight. Controllers in real life are used to people talking too casually and not knowing the right phrases. You can also say "student pilot" after

Small price to pay for videos that load almost instantly. It's certainly faster than my Jellyfin setup despite Jellyfin's massive home field advantage (SSDs and 0ms LAN latency)
