Sorry, definitely fuck Amazon!

$6m is such a small potatoes drop in the bucket for them (Amazon)… Fuck them (Amazon) and everyone who supports them!

Not really. I bought a Fiet Electric one from Menards (like Home Depot). All my smart devices are on their own VLAN on my home net. Yes it’s still online connected for remote viewing, but gives me a little separation and immediate storage/historical access.

I think this is it. I cantt remember, I don’t use the doorbell

I’ve got most my neighbors to replace expensive doorbells with cheap ones with sd cards and better imaging. They’re happy to have spent $50-100 where it pays for itself in a year vs this shit.

I say this is worse than the Discord shit bc now all kids gotta scan their faces just to chat… I don’t like it (Roblox) alteady but fuck no am I letting my kids do it!

Edit: what’s to stop a pedo from using any online image, or even their own kid to then chat up other kids once verified?!

I’ll take the version Wayne Szalinski makes that can be controlled by a large remote, then hire some random kid to do it while also searching for my own kids!

I wasn’t meaning they are specifically, just pointing out how fanbois are. Thats why I dropped to another paragraph. Sorry

You do realize its ChatGPT underneath, yes?

I chuckle and die a little when the CGPT bois trash Copilot, but lie, when it was nonprofit MS was funding a lot of the research so that’s their backend.

I like self hosting, but I won’t do AI.

Not to mention all that stuff left in space can’t just be brought down safely to reuse/recycle like other materials. So it’s a permanent loss of resources.

Sad that Windows 8/8.1 Pro x64 ran perfectly fine on 4GB RAM. Now 16GB RAM feels like 2GB used to. So much bloat, you can’t hardly strip it down. I think I will boot a w8 vm and make note of services, and start mimicking those on w11 and start blocking anything that isn’t absolutely necessary!

Thank God my company is so antiquated they don’t even know about half the tech that exists to spy on employees. Thankfully I’m also head of IT so imma keep them in the dark about that loll. Every time I upgrade the simplest things it’s like I’ve shit out actual magic. It’s great!

Don’t forget, though, it does that one thing for that one reason I forgot already as I typed it… But its still good, clearly!

I hope everyone ditches everything the US has produced, so that in the end, we can all point fingers to Trump.

Hey, remember when everyone said in 2015 & 2016 he’d be a good president cuz he knows goes to run a business?? Well, he sure has… Makes everything about profits over people, outsources work to some 3rd party vendor, goes horribly and loses s a bunch of money. Now, running it into the ground! Just like before!

Only difference now is, is everyone else’s money too!

Not sticking up for Microsoft, but when you first setup a Windows machine, all those metrics toggled on like advertising and keyboard or handwriting usage, etc, I turn all 6 of those off. One in Windows I now uninstall Copilot and disable stuff like phone link, OneDrive, and pretty much every application from running at startup ( Adobe if needed, etc)

This is just for work, but I can usually get away with lower spec machines by curating what’s allowed to run by default.

Could you explain? Why would that set us back? You mean if Paramount wins?

I’ve called them Gooplesoft now.

Check out Mistral if you want a good nonUS AI.

Ok, but that’s sort of extreme, because I could buy, RIGHT now, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz for about $140. You’re showing off a retailer and/or brand that are gouging, just to prove a point.

Now, yes there’s a difference, because this is so-dimm for laptops vs standard desktop, but Newegg and Amazon are both gouging process pretty bad right now. But deals can still be found!

Edit apples to apples (though my post is 3600MHz)

We’re a SMB so I kind of get to do what I want, within reason. But yeah a lot of corporate bullshit with tech doesn’t make any sense! I’m not here to blow through videos with stupid high spending and all the monitoring stuff. Just lock it down you’ll be fine. I’m simplifying of course, but still.
