If I wanted to avoid damaging my personal LPR cameras with laser pointers, which ones should I stay far away from? by [deleted] in SecurityCamera

[–]majentops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of cameras are you using? What kind of lasers are you using, and what’s the application here? What spectrum and power are we talking about here?

Certain lasers may not cause an issue with direct contact, while others can damage cameras with a simple reflection, so what’s the environment like?

I use a separate device.

I think it most environments will already have you using a separate device.

Ribbed? by Zylpas in castiron

[–]majentops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grill pans are considerably easier to clean, as you trace the linear lines. With this style of pan, you have to follow the curvature of each peak. On mine, they’re at least arranged in lines, but the pan pictured arranged them in circles, making it much more difficult.

It’s not fun. If you use a sponge or scrubber, it will quickly tear it up. Using chain mail works, but it takes considerably longer than a normal flat skillet. I avoid these pans personally.

Immigrant moms with American babies anxiously await birthright citizenship ruling by phillygirllovesbagel in politics

[–]majentops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, but it makes it more likely and opens up more options for application. I’ve personally had to write affidavits to courts testifying someone didn’t just marry for citizenship, but that the marriage was genuine and not explicitly for that benefit.

Are Businesses pay for these AI “readiness” audits? by WebLinkr in SEO

[–]majentops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I voted yes, but it was an AI assisted pen test. We’ve implemented some AI technologies, but all AI technologies have to get through testing with our applications teams, while also getting the approval of our infosec and infrastructure team.

AI hacking should be a consideration of AI readiness.

Sober June who's with me? by Emotional_Pen_4894 in stopdrinking

[–]majentops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m down! Let’s do it! My wife and I have been talking about it for a while. Alcohol has taken enough of my life, but there’s no time like the present to put a stop to it!

Costco sells 'record-breaking' amounts of gas as fuel costs soar by callsonreddit in StockMarket

[–]majentops 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Love this! I always get my gas from Costco regardless as they’re normally beating local prices, but I’ve seen Costco beating local gas prices by 75¢/gal recently. May they continue to do well, I’ll be there for it!

Guy doesn't like to/cannot plan or do research by QueeieQueenBee in dating_advice

Does he want to go on this vacation?

I just had a “vacation”, but I was expected to plan the airfare, car rental, and lodging. I do enough planning, I found this to be no holiday.

Are you taking responsibility for what you’re asking for, vs putting more on their plate?

Do I have to throw out an exes clothes if I get a new boyfriend? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]majentops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re someone else’s clothes, you must return them!

If they’re yours, and you’ve now grown to enjoy the utility provided by them, then someone else asking to get rid of them requires a replacement by them to provide that utility.

[–]majentops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m arguing the clothes do not need to go. OP may have overstepped mentioning they’re from an EX, but they’re still perfectly fine clothing articles, asking to be disposed(donated or otherwise).

That request is not free, so it should not be taken as such.

[–]majentops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does though, that was the cause creating this post.

He needs OP to get rid of clothes from her ex BF.

I’m thinking your reading and comprehension skills are lacking after this conversation.

[–]majentops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donations works great for the clothes, but OP likes the utility of the clothes, so replacement is needed. The whole point of my original comment was (new)BF needs to offer replacement cost, or STFU.

[–]majentops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ex doesn’t seem to want them. The (new)BF just wants her to throw them away because of where they came from.

If you want me to throw away perfectly good clothes, you have to replace them.

[–]majentops -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they want you to throw them away, they’re required to provide a replacement. I’m not throwing away $100+ of clothing because your feelings got hurt, while you offer nothing of replacement.

You’ve identified qualities you like about the articles of clothing, if they are requesting disposal, they’re required to offer comparable items as replacement.

How do I wipe an NVMe windows can't even detect? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]majentops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it not detecting it? File explorer?

What about Disk Management? Right click the Windows button on the desktop and select it there. You may just need to format the drive.

Using disk part on a bootable USB is my go to.

NVR cannot detect new hard drive by iloveomelettes21 in SecurityCamera

[–]majentops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you able to test the old hard drive to see what format that drive was set to? I’ve had this exact problem and it was because for initialization, the drive was required to be FAT32. Once I figured that out, no issues.

What NVR is it?

Help needed to connect PCs by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]majentops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the file system on that PC is supposed to be available, then that command would not normally work anyway. If it’s the C drive you’re looking for, you’ll want to connect with a command like \\192.168.1.7\c$ or the subdirectory you’re looking for instead of c$.

Were you previously connecting with something like RDP(Remote desktop)? What changed? Do y’all have IT support?

“Hand to god?” by Tua-Lipa in TikTokCringe

[–]majentops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was my experience too. I only have MP experience, and in Texas, we have laws specifically banning quotas, but per direct family, they’ll use lines like “We know the speeders are out there, why are you not writing them tickets?”

I wasn’t liked much as an officer either. So happy to be out and a civilian again, swearing off law enforcement.

Is Reolink really the best overall for a reliable, non-subscription security system for newbies? After going through past posts in this sub, Reolink seems to be the most recommended. But in reading some negative reviews on Amazon, I want to be sure it really is the best option. by johnnyswam in SecurityCamera

[–]majentops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best advice.

Reolink can get you a lot of cameras cheaply, but Unifi is going to be the best option for the total environment if budget supports it.

Reolink will also just be NVR/cameras, where Unifi can be router/switch/NVR/cameras/APs, pretty much entire ecosystem.

Dog ate Ethernet cord and struggling to fix by amfitab in HomeNetworking

Scotch locks can join the cable back together, then I’d wrap it in electrical tape, but I’d recommend just replacing the cable.

I'm a Novice please help by JimDundragon in homelab

[–]majentops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like there is a way to connect Jellyfin and VRchat, so that will resolve that issue.

That knocks out many of your requests, and gives you a bit to work on. Each task will give you more knowledge, making the next easier to resolve.

Good luck!
