  • it’s weird watching like four people who are definitely more tech savvy than me just bumble fuck their way through all this server stuff with enterprise level gear.

    Exactly, bumble fuck is what every one of their server videos or home automation videos seems to be about.

  • Anyone watching LTTs server videos hopes it is only for entertainment as following what they do other than for your home lab would be a disaster.

    However they are building up the LAB and are selling it as serious detailed reviews.. This would be a shift from their current content.

    Flip side Gamers Nexus is hard core serious and I always have to skip through their videos as they put me to sleep.

  • It can taste different in the same city / from different sources.

    The water sources will be different (mostly filtered city water) and bottled, caned, fountain drinks at restaurants can all vary slightly due to many factors. In some countries different types of sugar/sweeteners may be used, the US has highly subsidies corn so in the us HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP is used, where you will see sugar listed in other countries.

    Some restaurants will get the mix in bags, others in metal canisters this can impact taste on top of the equipment that mixes and carbonizes the mix.

  • 8.3 is horrible in almost any moderately complex system. We have one at work and you basically need a index / translation document to figure out what the files or scripts do. The Database tables have similar short name limits.

    You eventually memorize the ones you use often but it creates a huge new / external parties to understand the system.

  • As much attention EVs get car fires kill about 500+ people per year in the US and cause over 1.9Billion in property damage.

    Regular gas cars have been recalled many times for spontaneous combustion while parked burning down garages and homes.

    Most of the time however yes it is from operators driving.

  • Create a law that singles out specific players in a monopoly to pay other players in a falling monopoly (look who owns nearly all news media in Canada).

    Make the law NOT about summarizing and ad funding but about linking which is fundamental to how the internet works and how all sites get found.

    Facebook / Google links to Canadian news isn't valuable enough to them for the hassle so they turn them off, it really was the expected outcome.

  • A camera platform small enough to fit a standard door frame isn’t going to be able to hold serious optics.

    We clearly have even smaller optics in smart phones, the limiting factor on doorbells seems to be depending on cheap optics, poor FOV lenses and then cutting the bit rate by only supporting 2.4Ghz vs offering 5Ghz or POE support. There are a number of cameras with good optics or secondary package cameras now to cover the FOV issue. There are even cameras that meet all the clarity requirements I have but are cloud only or are knowing to not work in cold weather at all.

    The MAIN job of a doorbell camera should be for the security role of identification. As it will point directly at the face of someone the cheap ones do a bad job of this.

    There are some videos showing just how WIDE the quality range is, but sadly very few tick all the boxes.

  • I am all for local however my biggest issues with video doorbells tends to be the field of view, image quality and operating temperature ranges.

    I live in a climate where +30C and -20C will happen at least for a few days a year and quite often I have seen doorbells just go offline below when it gets cold outside or physically degrade in the heat.

    I want a highly durable device. These ESPCam devices kinda have crap optics, I want to clearly identify people in the dark.
