Yeah, at least commemorative coins have some intrinsic value. Not much, but it does exist.

Man, I want to work for MBARI sooooo bad. I did get to do a tech demo for them a few years back. But that was for a lame-ass, standard IT enterprise system, not some fun project.

I only used for a bit, but I think that’s “Rec Room” Read more

Totally off topic, but looking at the leading image, I totally got flashbacks of The Palace chat.  We should bring that back (and it looks like there might be active servers out there still)

Which is a little odd to me - when I went to a taping (back in 2003, so still Bob Barker), my buddy got called up and ended up getting to and winning his Showcase Showdown (he also spun a $1.00 on the wheel). For like 90% of the stuff he won, especially the big ticket items, they just gave him money. Much easier to… Read more

+1 For using Blue Iris. I was very happy to get off of Nest and have full control over my cameras. I use regular old USB cams (ELP modules for indoor, and a SVPRO (which I think uses an ELP module https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C2RL8PB/) hooked up to some Pi’s. Currently I am using MJPEG camera’s and… Read more

Much like another commenter, I have come to prefer running my own cameras. My Nest was OK, and the Wyze I can’t watch via desktop browser. Read more

I got up to 7.2!  But it was more of a crawl on my knees than running

And they also own the Super Soaker brand, so add in H2O based as well.

If the content was a bit better, I’d pay for an ad-free tier. I happily pay over at Ars Technica for a “Pro++” account which gets you no adds and an (ad free) RSS feed of their articles.

Yeah, but if you were to use that space for a USB port, then I could still use an SD card (via an adapter) or just a USB flash drive. Again, I could see it if you already use SD cards a lot, but I don’t see the draw over good old USB

The Kiyo Pro can capture video at up to 1080p/60 fps or 1080p/30fps with HDR for improved color and exposure

I guess I’m not the demographic for this (I’m not a content creator), but is an SD card reader something people are begging for? The only time I ever use an SD card is flashing firmware on my 3D printer. I juts don’t see the draw unless you are constantly transferring data from a camera. HDMI seems odd, just due to… Read more

Oh, this reminds me of Del Taco’s Big Fat Crispy Chicken Taco.   Those have come and gone multiple times. 

One of the reasons why someone like myself gave Metallica shit over Napster (as compared to other bands) - Metallica owed a lot of their fame to the bootleg scene, and Napster felt very much like it was just an extension of that.
