There are companies that advertise their products doing everything locally. Eufy for one. Although, be warned that anything that sends you a push notification must send SOMETHING to the cloud. People lost their minds a year or two ago when someone pointed out Eufy’s push notifications send recognized faces to th cloud as part of their push notifications. Eufy did add a warning and the option to disable, or made it opt in I think.

Anyway, the point of all that is it’s all a matter of degrees. Ring and Nest rely heavily on the cloud to process your video and do just about everything. But there are local solutions with varying degrees of local.

First I would be taken aback, I didn’t know my mummy was dead, and then taken aback again that she came back to life.

Yeah, most of those cameras don’t do the machine vision tasks on the device. They stream video to the server which processes it faster.

Any new shares/reposts would show once the account was followed from the gram.social server. Anything prior to that you would have to view the account on the home instance.

Is it possible the missing items are from before the account federated to gram.social?

I know, I am lucky enough to be close.

Unfortunately this is going to leave a lot of rural customers in the dark. Poor Internet connection and drm TV. Guess who will control everything they see and hear?

Lucky enough that a bent paperclip gets me most channels here.

There are no extraterrestrials in those movies, only terrestrials.

Yes, I’ll just build an entire infrastructure to support a gas station lighter that only exists because “if you’re dumb enough to buy cigarettes you’ll probably buy this gimmick.”

My concern isn’t money, it’s the reliability. If you store those things correctly they will always light. If you store a batter powered device correctly, no matter what it must be recharged even if it hasn’t been used. I don’t want to have to think about whether I charged my firestarter. The checklist is long enough when you are going camping. It’s just one more thing to forget.

Flint and steel… Matches… No battery required.

Lol, the idea what a battery powered device is a camping to for starting fires is just funny to me. Of all the ways we have to start fires one that requires a battery is the last thing I’m wasting weight and space on when camping.

Have you tested that is actually ABS? Is it burning because it’s mislabeled something else with a lower temp range?

If it is really ABS, mix with acetone to make a slurry for bonding abs parts. You can also cast parts in molds from the slurry with limitations.

Fast paced = we have understaffed and expect you to do more than your share of the work. Exciting = as people with better prospects leave our untenable work environment you will be expected to take on their responsibilities with no extra pay.

They don’t care, false positives boost arrest numbers. That’s the whole reason they’re using it, more quantity, not quality.

I get the grievance, but we can clarify a rule without mocking our belittling people. People are a lot more receptive when you start from a respectful place.
