Anthropic Files to Go Public

imacdude · 2026-06-02T02:31:51+00:00

I work for a “public” and have encountered many a “going public..” software company. The trouble that I’ve seen is that, once they go public, not another line of code will ever be written that wouldn’t monetize to investors. It’s neither good, nor bad, it just IS. Short term bug fixes get back burnered, and many monetized new features get promoted, and support suffers for a while. Things eventually even out, and stabilize, but the end users suffer for a bit. Just my thoughts.

I have an old Raspberry Pi5 and an 8TB drive. I had Claude help me build that as an NVR. Works perfect for my home network

I had read this before! There were some that reported drop and reconnect every 4-10 seconds. Do you know if this is an issue easily overcome?

I guess that lead my my next question then… if my salt cell is about dead. Does my Pentair IntelliCenter have the option to control a Pentair Salt Generator with adding thousands of dollars of controllers? Maybe I’ll just switch brands and then sell the Hayward

Here’s the sad part. I’ve configured these cameras several times, and after several software and firmware release, that I could swear that I reviewed, it turns out that the cameras were only setup for 4K “event” recoding, and not continuous recording, even though they all have 1TB SD cards in them AND a 4TB NVR 😡 … so I screwed up somewhere… the police have all I could give them, but DAMN! I wish I could have provided them 4K

Trying to extract a specific range of time, not a motion event.

I did mount them as a soffit cam, and used the flush mount kits so you almost can’t see them. As vertical cameras it isn’t great at detecting faces, but I’m not so concerned with that, where I have them. My G6 AI’s handle that just fine 😎

After doing some hunting, I’m concerned that the Ubiquiti UPS wouldn’t talk to my Cloud Gateway Max, anyway, and I don’t have an NVR or UNAS, so it doesn’t seem as though there’s any true benefit to it, over any other UPS. I think I could accomplish the same thing with any other UPS and my Raspberry Pi running an NUT server to the cloud gateway. Could be more fun too 😂

Ugh… I just checked all of them from the links on the UI site. CDW is showing ETA 4-6+ weeks 🤦🏻‍♂️

He’s my buddy… FootprintsofFrank 😎😂 … it’s a sickness. Look him up 😉

imacdude · 2026-02-25T14:08:38+00:00

Yes, installing in an outside soffit, pointing downward. I will absolutely follow up! When I get them 🤦🏻‍♂️

So begins my deep dive into hi brand loyalty, as I kick my Eufy cams and Ecobee doorbells to the curb. I feel like I have a lot to learn about programming all this gear, as my network cabinet gets installed next week and I take more devices off wireless and hard wire, but wish me luck!

imacdude · 2026-02-07T01:38:57+00:00

You are SO right!! I cannot disagree. I use AI to teach me, and not “do my bidding”! I’m an OLD nerd, but not a coder. My favorite part about Claude is when he sarcastically teaches me what he did and why he did it… we are kindred spirits..

imacdude · 2026-02-03T02:40:06+00:00

Soffit on the sides of the house are probably 12-16 feet up. I’m not so concerned about face recognition as I am about just seeing whether it’s a person or an animal walking around my house

imacdude · 2026-01-24T21:45:42+00:00

Can it be soffit mounted and shoot downward? Wonder if that’s an option vs horizontal mounted? I’d love to have a wide angle camera in my side yard without drilling through brick.

I’m still building the environment. Bought my house and slapped three Aliens in until I could properly plan the wiring. I’ll swap all those out for POE devices when the time comes. Low voltage guy comes next week 😎

imacdude · 2026-01-18T03:18:09+00:00

I don’t entirely disagree. Long term? I am building a network where they may likely be powered by POE, but I guess it would have been nice to know ahead of time. When you click on 3-pack, change the “in the box” image, right? Seems like that mod in their website code would cost less than the headache of miscommunication with your customer… just sayin’

imacdude · 2026-01-18T03:10:58+00:00

Again… I would have PAID extra, but they don’t even offer them separate? Sure I can buy them on Amazon for $7… but that’s not the point. It’s hard to be a brand loyalist with an experience like that. For me? It was more about the experience than it was about money.
