Yeah, I used to install those a couple years ago as a security tech.

Unless they are at the register, those screens don’t even record back to a central DVR. Just a local SD card inside the screen itself. The only wire running to them is low voltage DC power, no video or network. Those things aren’t really an issue in the grand scheme, they are less intrusive than a regular security camera since you can’t even view them live at the head end.

Now the bigger ones hanging from a pole in the ceiling, yes those ARE being centrally recorded.

Did you read the article or are you a bot?

Thank you! Im not sure how people here are affording ten different news subscriptions with the amount of pay walls I encounter.

I see it as anybody too young to remember a world that wasn’t connected 24/7, somebody who in their child/teen years that didn’t make heavy use of the phone attached to the kitchen wall to contact friends. Someone who’s never had to seriously use dialup Internet or an 8/16 bit computer.

This will be the (fifth?) time Microsoft has tried to implement virtual assistants. And they are still exceedingly inefficient at it.

Wow. I mean, if they are trying to stop the “gay agenda” from spreading, they just went about it in the most dipshit way possible. I think I’ll watch it now.

If you aren’t suffering hair loss, dying your hair is probably the greatest thing you can do to take at least 10 years off instantly if you’re well into a graying head. Gets harder to maintain with short buzzed sections though, especially on the sides.

Yup. I remember that. He had a wakeup call when he nearly died during an OD.

The makeup does a lot of heavy lifting. If you’ve ever seen zoomed in closeup shots of their faces, yeah, the age definitely shows.

Also, people that are still active and running around on a stage do still give off youthful vibes. I was shocked when I learned Trent Reznor of NIN is in his 60s now. He still performs like he did in his 20s. Gotta keep moving if you can, never stop. Once you stop moving is when you start dying.

Congratulations. It’s come a loooong way. Long live Konqi the cyberdragon.

Eventually the tankies calm down when they get a little older and just become libertarian socialists when they finally realize how fucked their hero regimes were and break through the bullshit.

There was an idea I read about, sorta along the same crazy track, (might have been Popular Science or something like 25 years ago) where they came up with an idea for a jet that didn’t use traditional control surfaces like ailerons, but rather line the wings and fuselage in thousands of tiny flaps that would all be precisely computer controlled. It would be able to basically mold and shape the airstream around itself to make precise movements.

We’ve known this since September 1993, but we just let it keep going. I don’t think anyone can actually stop it or knows how, unless we get hit with an asteroid or something.

Pass the bricks.

As someone who uses scissor lifts a lot, I wish the manufacturers standardized on one way. Some have you push the joystick forward to descend, others will raise the platform when doing the same. I’ve damn near smashed some things in the ceiling going the wrong way for a second.

This is the most boomer-y comment I’ve read in a while. I remember my parents saying shit like this about me and my NES.

Will having more troops in more cities make the Epstein files turn up faster?

I usually do it when we take over a customer’s access control system and we have half their doors on the new system and half in the old still and are migrating them over. I’m an electronic security tech, this is what I do for a living.

I use it at work to clone a customer’s proximity card when I work in their building so they don’t have to leave me theirs to get around. The one legitimate use I found.

I guess being able to trigger the customer service announcement without having to find a button in a store is nice.

I know exactly what would make me happy, the problem is the people who would make it their mission to make me as unhappy as possible in life for daring to try to be happy.
