Fans do you no good when the humidity is above a certain point. You’re also losing a lot of water to evaporation from sweating if it is doing anything at all. There is a reason why Singapore switched to AC pretty much everywhere except old

No kidding, that is what I was referring too. Precision for a typical doorbell camera is going to be several minutes of angle at best, which is my point.

Also, a typical consumer camera is going to struggle (even with the best analysis!) to have visual accuracy within even a few degrees of true (due to everything from high compression ratios in post processing to shitty optical properties in

Talk about a terrible indictment of western culture if I ever heard of one!

lol, if you don’t put an NDA (or otherwise make it clear it’s a trade secret and try to protect it), you lose the protection the moment you start sending that out. Including in contracts.

Sounds like a religious aversion to all lending? Usury usually means ruinously high interest rates , not all lending. Unless you’re Muslim, generally.

Not only that, they don’t need to worry if they lose their phone they’re locked out of their accounts too!

Except I literally never want to have auth tied to a device. That’s ridiculous.

Eh, like drugs, the US is addicted to cheap imported labor. Like cartels and imported hard drugs, ‘tin pot socialist kleptocracies dependent on exported resources (including people)’ and ‘abused and underpaid immigrant underclass’ are two h

The literal president of the United States is heavily implicated in a giant CSA (and trafficking) scandal.

Switches. They never said they were legal. Rather the opposite.

Do you realize how deranged you sound?

Being engaged == doing stuff, not necessarily being actually productive. Busy does not always equal doing something useful. Easy to pay a lot to the model vendor though eh?

Sure, and hamburgers and shakes are bad for us. Also very popular.

Having done all that (what you’re doing) - it often just ends up wasted effort, with poor quality at the end. Why not just actually do the thing, instead?

Notably, it used to take effort to produce crap on the internet, now it’s nearly the default action. Signal to noise has taken a dramatic hit.

Maybe (hamfistedly) angling for a bribe to ‘expedite’?

Dublin is amazingly chill with passport/visa/immigration. I once needed an actual stamp in my passport, and the agent literally apologized to me for taking up the space. I thought she might be messing with me, but not, entirely se

also, sometimes when they pop you’re till up 50% after everthing is said and done, even if you’re down 90% from the peak.
