ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Kung Fury sequel?

For me it’s more about the data formats provided by whatever I am trying to integrate / interrogate.. All CSV? Fine, if crude. JSON? Ok, bit more logic needed for the data formatting , but makes more sense for anything that’s not a one to one relationship. Then scripts work on intermediate files…

So.. Machete’s are banned, and there’s an amnesty so they can be turned into the police. I went to get coffee pods at the supermarket and bought an electric chainsaw for $50…

Lots of small ones, but that’s a side effect thinking in bash, but then I need to collect data via powershell because I’m dealing with windows

AI summaries are such bullshit because they they go by the dumbest possible interpretation , and give the dumbest most shallow answers possible. Stop telling me something is impossible and give me links for people doing it thanks 🤣

Yes, I stupidly bought one of these cameras assuming it was going to be a standard UVC device, based purely on the sensor specifications.

Used to use this on my fridge when the heater coil failed, and it would let me know be beeping every few hours until acknowledged - Sabbath mode meant the interior light didn’t go on , and it also silenced all warning alerts for roughly 24 hours

Now I want to go and play “Uplink” again where this was a thing you could do (Except iirc it needed manual detonation when a proximity alert was detected)

So there’s a whole machine vision / automation “industry association “ set of standards for cameras.. And essentially zero Linux support, as they forbid anybody from using their references to write open source software, and want an IP license when you start developing software targeting them. Ugh.

illuminated targets for the rampaging mobs looking for the reason civilisation fell…

And then there’s the “Wait.. who are you again?” As you try to align your mental map of who somebody is IRL compared to assorted handles across assorted networks, IRC or not…

Moon set behind a tree before I could jump on a Teams call with one of my telescope imagers as input 😩

i will make it my mission to personally obtain icbms to destroy the horrid sky mirrors

Sweet panelvan!

I’ve been ranting about these things (in a generic non-vendor-specific manner) to my team for a few weeks now.. It’s also the sort of thing facilities & the integrator are likely to end up interfacing to a cellular data link outside of IT’s knowledge.. Plus the CVE’s aka “vendor backdoor” *sobs*..

Googled this + OpenWRT and got another reminder of how dogshit google’s “AI” summary is, confidently telling me that OpenWRT won’t run on switches…. (Maybe not this one, but does run on a similar specced netgear I use for traffic mirroring)

Any chance you could provide me a direct file / link / something? Seems downloading clips / images from Bluesky is slightly cumbersome…

It’s usually a matter of which Realtek chipset they use… Newer 2.5G switches, it’s the same chipset unmanaged or managed, and the management UI is built in, with different firmware & flas. Older chipsets need something to provide the management interface, but you knew all this anyway 🤣

I just tried this on my son.. instantly responded “Fitzgerald”

I really want to use it with INDI. Potentially I could write an INDI driver, but I’m a good enough coder to know I suck.

I got an Amazon gift card via work a few years ago, and used it to purchase what I thought was a fancy industrial webcam. Sensor in it is very nice - large chip, good specs. But it’s not a UVC device, the only way to interact with it is OpenCV and some vendor libraries. Aaaargh.

Mentally, I’m slowly migrating towards UTC for everything work related…

I now have a 64x64 RGB led array! (Well, my daughter does…)… Have not figured out what formats the iOS tool to control it uses however, but I really want to see how this looks on it

*reads rest of thread* .. wait.. shit.. 🤣

Australia’s iconic StackHat was released at the same time mandatory helmet laws were introduced, and was originally developed by PA Technology for CIG (Industrial PPE)?, as cross-functional sporting gear, and the product was then bought by Rosebank and was the first helmet compliant with AS2963..

You just reminded me of the worst VCR interface ever - remotes with a built in bar code scanner for programming recording time. Was intended that TV guides would include barcodes to be scanned, I don’t recall ever seeing them. They also came with a pre-printed set of bar codes for manual programming
