I am currently using 2 of the G4 Pro doorbells. They are direct PoE to my UDM-Pro SE without any adapters. The recordings are stored locally and are private.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft offers enterprise/business variants of most solutions that are (more) private by design. This includes GitHub Copilot, Azure OpenAI GPT services, Bing Chat, M365 Copilot, etc. It’s really a consumer’s d

I was curious about the machine itself. There is a description and picture on their lab page[1]: “The vertical bore 9.4T Agilent MRI has been specially constructed for the microscopic imaging of fixed specimens. A bespoke gradient system, o

We do the exact same thing. BofA is a convenience for us, but our credit union is a safe haven with better rates, better service, and less risk.

The “ahead of time” component is partially addressed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency which conducts period stress tests of banks. The people doing the testing know their stuff. These bank evaluations have likely caught and

The public transit vs individual car ownership discussion is long running and a bit separate. My conclusion was predicated on the assumption that for all the reasons we still have individual car ownership today, we will see that remain as s

I’d like to offer a possibly controversial alternative viewpoint on this. On a longer time horizon than just the past few years, we saw the introduction of touchscreens for drivers way back in the early 2000s. We just called them smartphone

Yep! The area around Brevard, NC has a native population. They’re really neat to see. I’ve always wondered how they made it from an evolutionary standpoint. They definitely stand out!

Just from my memories, we didn’t have as much stuff competing for our income. There were no cell phones or ISP bills, and we didn’t have cable TV either. This made it easier to save a little bit every month to afford these more expensive it

Probably says something about me that my immediate reaction to the number 65536 wasn’t 2^16, but rather the frequency of the timer crystal you had to swap into a Radio Shack tone dialer to make a “red box”[1] that would let you make free ph

I wanted to post this article, as I’m worried about the mental health aspects. Stressful work, even when remote, can lead to real health problems. If people don’t feel comfortable taking a day off to recover, that could be recipe for burn o

I see a fishbone activity as somewhat the reverse of the five whys. Instead of starting broad and narrowing focus down a singular path, the fishbone takes the problem and looks at all the contributing factors: https://asq.org&#x2

Related, this is a great example of why I’m skeptical when an analyst tells me they’ve done a “5 Whys” exercise to identify the root of an issue / optimization problem. The process follows a path to a solution with horse blinders inten

Slight tangent: Maybe it’s just me, but I’m somewhat uncomfortable with the label “crypto” being co-opted as official shorthand for cryptocurrencies. I see how it’s a natural truncation of a long term, but to many of us the word crypto can

I remember this happening previously with a company named Isis Associates [1]. They opted for a name change in that case. Obviously, it wouldn’t get to that with Delta (their brand isn’t Covid after all). Still, interesting to see how glob
