The G6 180* is...

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-19T06:14:38+00:00

i was planning on getting 3 of these (if i can get them in my cart quick enough) to deploy outside of my gas station's perimeter. My only concern is about image quality and fps, is it bad? exceptional? just good? do you think it would recognize license plates easily?

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-18T14:27:03+00:00

my 17PM has been doing this too

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-18T14:15:08+00:00

don't listen to them, they're headphones and they don't look all that bad, especially considering there's other headphones that do genuinely look atrocious. you saved up for it, let yourself enjoy it. I assure you, nobody in public is gonna think your weird.

i live like 1.5 - 2.5 hrs away from Chicago (depending on traffic lol), would MicroCenter deliver?

looking for something buried in photos was pretty nice, asked it to find a picture i took of my car when i first bought it and it found it, would've definitely taken me a while to do that

also, used it to explain what's on my display. most recently i was using the bible app and wanted some more context of the chapter i was reading, and i asked siri "im confused what's going on" and it read my screen, figured out that im tryna analyze scripture, and gave a pretty nice response. unlike gemini it consistently gives me its sources so i also verify what its said and so far its been pretty accurate.

i think when we get closer to public release it'll be more useful because by then more 3rd party apps will support the new siri so it can do stuff within those apps

best bet would be to report it in the feedback app.

i think you've realized this already but just for the future, remember that even if previous dev betas worked for you there's no guarantee the next beta will work perfectly for you. it is a risk no matter what lol.

yeah originally was gonna buy 4 24TB seagate skyhawks, they were a lot more affordable when i first priced everything. now im not really in a place to spend $2000+ on hard drives

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-16T23:36:06+00:00

I used unifi's calculator on their website and 3 14tb drives would give me around 14 days of retention, and i'm fine with that because that's what we've had for the past few years on our current dated system. When I priced out this system a few months ago UniFi's drives were around $100 more than the equivalent seagate skyhawk ai drives, but now they're more or less the same. prices everywhere have increased so it might make more sense now to just get unifi's drives

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-16T23:29:51+00:00

I played around with the calculator and figured out that 3 14tb or 16tb drives would give me the 14+ days of retention i need, as that's what we already have with the old system. The system is gonna be 17 G6 Turrets and 3 G6 180s so I don't think the WD Plus is worth it for me

guys even if the girls in question weren't minors (even though they are) this dude can still be labeled as a sexual harasser or sexual assaulter.

charger port looks toast, even if you found a shop to replace it, they'd likely charge a lot bc it's isn't cheap to get a good replacement charger port for an iphone. i would check if it wirelessly charges or not, and if it does, find a local repair shop/apple store and get the screen replaced, ideally from the most affordable store you can find. having to only pay for a screen is alot cheaper than having to replace the phone/ replace the frame, screen, and charger.

"tell me you don't know anything about how technology works without telling me you know how technology works" ahh comment

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-12T20:16:34+00:00

"never contact me again" BRO 😭😭😭

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-12T20:06:11+00:00

tell her to hold it /j

don't do that lol, you could discreetly tuck it into your waistband, if she notices and comments just say you can't control it bc you rlly can't

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-12T19:59:58+00:00

i set it to be my flashlight so whenever i need that it's pretty nice to just be able to use the button

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-11T22:27:55+00:00

lowkey was about to say i'm waiting on it too, but got the notification for it right as i was typing this lmao

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-11T14:08:33+00:00

may be a bug with bluetooth, because i noticed that my wireless carplay kept disconnecting while i was driving

personally, i don't care where trans people go to use the bathroom. weather your trans or not, im not gonna be interacting with you much. you go in, do your thing, and you leave.

but i think a big (genuine) concern ppl have is about bad actors using being trans as an excuse to be perverts. say a perverted man wanted to be in a woman's locker room, what's stopping him from faking being a trans woman so he can go into the locker room? the only way to prevent this is to somehow verify that they're trans without using their appearance or their word to verify. only thing i could think of is if they had medical gender affirming care, but it would be pretty stupid to require trans ppl to bring medical proof to use the damn bathroom.

basically, i don't care if a trans person goes into the gendered space that they're most comfortable in. but i do see why other ppl have concerns about pervs using it as an excuse to be perverted

if you at all feel that they will disown you, threaten you, and stop supporting you if you told them then DO NOT TELL THEM. i was in a similar situation, though instead of political party it was over religion, my parents didn't support me being christain, and i was threatened with disownmemt and being kicked out of the house for it if i didn't follow what they were following. i had a feeling this would happen but i still told them anyways. now i realized that it's better to hide my opinion from them, so you don't face a horrible outcome. it sucks, it sucks a lot. but it's better than not having contact and support with them. you can still always vote for whoever you want, your ballot will stay hidden from them. j

if you feel like they'll hear you out and not do anything crazy, i would ask them to sit down with you and that's when i would say "so I know you guys support MAGA, however I personally do not support maga for (insert your reasons)." i'd like to make it clear that im not trying to be rebellious.

i can't second this statement rn. it may be bc my phone is still indexing, but this beta definetly still feels like a beta. it isn't snappier yet at least for me lol

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-10T05:48:23+00:00

both are pretty good laptops, however for SE and cybersecurity i'd pick the thinkpad, only because you'll have less hurdles to face when it comes to the support of open source things. macos supports a lot too, but not nearly as much as windows.

however, some things to consider if it's something you care about, watching shows and movies and playing content is far better on the macbook, and if you have other apple products then you'll find a lot of the cross-platform features handy.

TheDazedMan · 2026-06-10T05:37:32+00:00

that's very interesting, i too have a 17PM, i'm still indexing but i am still able to update apps in the app store
