The fuck did you just say about the metric system?

Looking for recommendations for homebrew security system cameras

A friend of mine is helping me with setting up a Linux-based homebrew security system set up. He's currently using Wyze cameras, but they are faulty and have ads on them, so I'd like to find something more open-source/closed system that I can control completely. Any recommendations or pointers in the right direction would be...

I'm a milestone dealer so I'm running essentials which is free up to 8 camera channels at my house. Enterprise VMS is the only place I would go other than open source options just because any of these cloud connected retail options can SAAS your shit up at the drop of a hat.

I should spend the time to figure out zoneminder just because the windows server I have is a reject proliant and takes too much wattage for what it's doing.

For the first one sure, if you are running a pi already. For the next ones, the cost of a pi plus a pi camera is more than the rest of this per channel.

For switches, new POE should be under 12$cad per port, 5mpx poe camera can be gotten retail 50-100$

Wire is still a significant cost if you aren't terminating your own wire, so look around for cheap long patches.

A pi would be cost of the pi, case plus power supply plus camera each, you could do wifi so you might be able to get away from the cost of the cable. If you do that you should upgrade your wifi AP.

Sure but desperation creates assholes.

When I was broke I kept money out of a wallet I found. I wouldn't do that now and I've returned and given away much more because I can.

Yeah my point was anybody can be made into an asshole, depending on circumstances. A rich AH would be crafted by their upbringing, conditioned to never think about other people's needs.

think about their workers in that much depth

They absolutely don't. It's a combination of apathy, an aversion to recognising a workers specific value, and the utility of letting them spin their wheels while you ignore them, so they don't have the cognitive capacity to do something bad for you like find a different work environment.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware (www.tomshardware.com)

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

If they were running Linux the HP update utility would not be running.

Sleep by Android and I'm sure some other apps turn it on for you when you plug it in at night, then turn it off when your alarm goes.
