Do something once? Ew.

Do something infinitely? 🥵💦

sounds logical, the biggest logical, even

I mean just shit on the floor, they’ll get the message real quick. Just doin my job, efficiency is wet fart key to success!

…such as…? Whenever I’m shopping for a game, I check GOG (and 3rd party sites for steam keys via ITAD) before I buy from steam. If it’s available on gog and drm-free, that’s where my money goes.

The only issue I see with gog is that devs don’t give a shit. One and done, one pump chump. Why give customers choice, when you can be jerking it with their money already instead?

Me, looking around at every other company in existence: uhh… guys…

It’s okay, we don’t care about Ohio either

Maybe - I have two decades in tech but camera stuff is basically still new to me. I just know that the ootb system for reolink doesn’t play nice (or at all) with any systems that are foss/not reolink, so I had to toggle the setting for it to cooperate.

Yeah, that’s it!

It’s been a bit but I do remember I wanted the bigger screen, the fingerprint and nfc readers are nice to integrate ‘eventually’, and I think it was only an extra like $75? Oh, and the secondary package cam, that was the main factor tbh.

I wanted to get the poe version + their chime, but I got vetoed since ‘we already have a mechanic chime’ and I don’t have PoE setup in the house. But my pitch for the pro model was successful and an easy sell.

I bought a unit + 4tb surveillance drive, to replace a (what we thought was a) dying nest hardwired gen2 doorbell. I was excited - pulled it out of the box, ‘oh, it has an AC brick too! I can set it up and make sure it works before we install it’

Prepped the camera, prepped the nas to ingest the feed and drives, setup the non-proprietary stream (the acronym/letters escape me), all on the AC plug… And the feed, from the cam to the reolink app absolutely ground to a halt. I’m talking like, after 5 minutes of uptime, the feed was 60+ seconds behind. Absolutely wild. I restarted the app, phone, doorbell, no fix. I turned off the open-source (?) feed, going with only reolink’s proprietary stream. Better, but after 10 minutes it was still 30+ seconds behind. Reset the doorbell, set it up again, no change…

So either I got a defective/malfunctioning doorbell, a bad AC plug (but wouldn’t it just die if it was pulling too much power…?), the AC plug isn’t rated for anything more than very intital setup (I saw nothing about that in the instructions, and why would you do that…) or that is ‘working as intended’ which, why even bother if that is true.

B&H accepted both doorbell and drive, opened, no questions asked. Was very excited and it genuinely ruined my day. :(

Not really. If I am posting something that I figure would generate discussion like this, I would have sources at the ready too. And though I am disabled now, I used to hash out 140+ wpm without errors, so this post would take maaaaaybe as much as 90 seconds, mostly formatting and a quick proofreading.

Not everything has to be ‘sus’, ‘dawg’.

I ended up going with Unifi (G4 Pro Doorbell) after my test-run with Reolink went… poorly. It’s technically still ‘big tech’ but all the parts are on my property and my control, and (at least for the doorbell, that’s all I’ve got so far) it works nearly-perfectly with HA (I can’t get custom screen messages to stick when assigned through HA).

uhh…

I dunno, in the states they have the ‘secret service’ but I can definitely see them. Something tells me ‘secret’ things aren’t so secret…

Fucks sake, when did that happen?

Good news: $

Bad news: 4 star wanted level

Gonna try this brb

“see, it’s barely noticeable. let’s build like 5,000 more!”

We will be soon, though…

It’s not. I bought a boxed copy shortly after release and while I lost the box, I’ve retained the game and no-cd crack for like 22 years across like 8 machines.

I recently re-beat the game and the steering isn’t as controllable as I remember, but it’s still fun. LAN gaming with Zerotier was fun too.

No no, you weren’t rude =) just wanted to let you know
