Thanks, I think. I usually write UBNT because it's distinct and spelling out "Ubiquiti" hurts my soul in ways that I find difficult to properly articulate. But UI just seems so ambiguous. :)

The processing can happen within the camera, and it's nice when it does...but that doesn't mean that the only other option is something cloud-based, like some might assume. Open-source NVR software like Frigate can do things like

I already consider Anubis to be malware and I'm just some dude who likes to play with computers. If it mined crypto instead of just burn clock cycles, then that could not in any way serve to lower its ranking in my book. It's alr

There was a time when a person could walk through a few department stores every week (or even every day) just to take note of some prices along the way, and ultimately tabulate them to try to identify and snatch up the best deal once it hap

The built-in, offline mapping in my Honda uses a whole host of local-only sensors to handle these situations where GPS is intermittent. It works rather well at figuring out where the car is on the map, and when it deviates from the prescri

No need. I've seen them. In the States, for example: Every state I've looked at has laws that make it illegal to roll coal. And at least in my own state (Ohio), it's a primary offense. A person can be pulled over and ticke

Yeah, they're very pushy with shorts. But there are ways to never be shown shorts. They just tend to require avoiding the YouTube app. Remember the World Wide Web? Even here in 2026, YouTube is still just a website -- if you want it

Cassettes were great, though. They could pile up, unprotected, in the center console or find their way under the seat and be fine. That pile might have everything from your mom's Vivaldi tape to the MC5 bootleg you got from your olde
