Saline filled implants are different than “silicone” implants (even though they both have silicone - “silicone” implants are filled with a silicone gel, saline have a silicone exterior that’s filled with saline).

Saline is the older type and are becoming much less common these days.

THIS IS THE BATTLE OF YOUR LIFE

Wireless cameras offer an easier vector for people to get into your camera feeds. Biggest risk to this is a poorly secured network in the first place, but the risk is still there.

Also, wireless is going to be inherently a worse quality video stream, and constant video traffic being sent over your Wi-Fi bogs down your entire network.

All that being said Wi-Fi cameras are just fine and as long as you have strong Wi-Fi security you’re really not at a real risk unless someone very savvy is specifically targeting you, in which case you’ve got bigger problems.

I have probably a dozen cheap wireless cameras in my house (to keep an eye on pets) and I have them spaced over two access points and honestly I don’t notice a difference on my Wi-Fi at all, but I’m sure it’s worse than if I didn’t have them. All my exterior cameras are wired, but that’s more because I want better quality streams and I’m running a wire anyways so might as well be PoE. Only exterior wireless camera I have is my doorbell but that’s because I didn’t want to run a new wire to it.

Overall wired cameras are much better quality, but they’re not as convenient. Make the decision for yourself based off of your priorities. Real tough to get a wireless camera with the fidelity needed to capture license plates clearly, but if you don’t need that then why worry about whether your gear can achieve it or not?

My favorite in the thread by far

It fit my hands really well. C stick was entirely game dependent, some used it heavily and others ignored it - sort of similar to D pad, but that’s been pretty common since games started supporting 3D environments - D pad was only the primary movement control in a 2D game or menus, and occasionally used for ancillary stuff. That is the same to this day so it’s kind of a moot point with this controller specifically.

Personally I loved the asymmetric letter button controls. Was goofy looking but way less awkward thumb movements to reach stuff.

Man, when this shit hit the streets I thought there was no way this controller wouldn’t suck, but turned out to be a great layout.

Because it’s unashamedly love

You can self host Protect. It’s what I did for ages when I was using a few of their cameras. Don’t have to use cloud unless you want to.

There’s a lot of downsides to ubiquiti (I’ve been dunking on them all over this thread) but there’s a LOT of great stuff too, and being able to self-host their management suite if you choose to do so is GREAT. That doesn’t make me want to invest in their walled garden for cameras, but for people who want to get into a functional ecosystem they’re a great choice. Overall the price:performance curve is not worth it to me, though, but neither are apple products, even though I know they work well also.

Their support for ONVIF is, as you said, limited. Being able to add a camera into your protect feed is a good start, but until they make it work better for PTZ, audio, sub stream capture, and everything else it’s not worth note IMO.

RTSP allows you to check a live feed in another software suite (even just VLC) but again, without the cameras themselves being ONVIF standard you’re missing all the aforementioned features and now you’re really REALLY overpaying for what is essentially a dumb camera.

I’ve experimented with ubiquiti cameras and for the most part I find them very overpriced for their quality point. They’re good cameras, but they’re not ONVIF compatible so if you want to get into their (super overpriced and limited) ecosystem you won’t be able to intermix other cameras easily.

A good example is their doorbell camera. It’s just not good. And they don’t have more than one model, so if you want a good one you’re buying something else, that won’t work in their software, so now you’re using two systems to watch your cameras.

I’m glad they work for you, but I don’t recommend getting into their camera ecosystem.

There’s no reason to try and salvage a ring camera. Their business model is subscriptions and data collection; I’m not aware of any projects to flash them with custom firmware, and my guess is they’re locked down hard to prevent it because that’s their entire revenue model, you’re free to keep looking but I’d bet it’s a dead end or at the very least much more than an afternoon project.

Get a Wi-Fi reolink and connect it to an ONVIF capable NVR. You can use a paid solution like blue iris on a Windows machine or there’s plenty of free options for any OS of your choice. You can probably directly access the feed by navigating to the camera IP but I’m not sure, I don’t use mine that way. Without some kind of NVR software you won’t get a lot of the features people like such as notifications and two way talk, object/person recognition, etc.

Is this a troll post?

-OP doesn’t specify model

-if you are even considering flashing it that means you can remove and modify it

-change Wi-Fi password and don’t reconnect it

-smash it and install a normal doorbell or something else that isn’t spyware

What am I even reading here

Don’t take it personally. You think your neighbor wants to record you and your dog specifically? I mean, it’s possible, but it’s likely they just want to be able to see who comes to their door, or have a general idea of what’s going on around their house. I have my locally hosted reolink doorbell set to trigger on zones if things enter my driveway or approach my door, because that’s what I care about. I get a bunch of crap with kids playing in the street running onto my property, people’s dogs straying off the sidewalk, and the occasional vehicle turning around. But I also figured out what kids were doing dong dashing, and have record of what deliveries were suplexed WWE style onto my doormat so I can more easily handle stuff damaged in shipping.

If you hear some crazy shit outside you probably get up and look out the window, don’t you? Well, a camera means you can go back and see what happened all the time. It’s a no brainer why people want them now that they’re cheap and accessible.

Most people don’t have any idea how bad cloud cameras are for overall society, and they’ll probably roll their eyes and think you’re crazy if you try to dive into that conversation with them out the gate.

They’re legally within their rights to do what they’re doing, so you can dislike it all you want but there’s not much you can do about it without some pretty diplomatic conversations. And a passive aggressive note left about them watching you and your dog isn’t going to help your case, at ALL. First you’ll have to become friends with them so they trust you, then find a way to educate them and change their minds.

Honestly? It can’t, really. There’s some very accessible things people can do on the user side such as good password management practices, but even something as “simple” as firewall rules quickly devolves into technical stuff that most people have no idea how to deal with.

The reality is that the Internet, computers, applications are all incredibly complicated. How they interconnect is incredibly complicated, and the vast majority of people don’t even understand what an IP address is, what the function of DNS is, what a MAC address is and how it’s different than an IP address, etc. So, you can maybe point them to a guide that they can follow to set up wireguard to access their music folder when they’re out, maybe, but since every network is different, how do you make sure they’re setting it up securely without copying and pasting routes that make them less secure? You have to understand what you’re doing to be able to see if in a specific use case you’re not causing an issue.

I dunno. This is a really tough nut to crack. There’s no “guide to learning cyber security.” If you know nothing and want to learn more, you just have to learn about networking, Linux, firewalls, active directory, everything.

If you’re looking for something incremental all you’ll find is incremental learning of specific things. Like, look up the LPI Linux Essentials study guide if you want to just learn some Linux stuff. Then spin up a bunch of VMs of different distros to play with, and look at some other Linux stuff. And more Linux stuff, until you feel like you understand Linux pretty well. But, that doesn’t make you good at cyber security… Because there’s so much more than just knowing Linux. So no, there’s no incremental guide for what you’re looking for - you just have to learn many things, and you can come from whatever direction you want to start from.

If you want to learn safely then just don’t expose anything to the Internet. Keep it all local, and yeah you might introduce some insecure setups or applications, but you’re not really under any more threat of network intrusion than if you never started. That sucks though because we want to access our shit from outside the house, right? But that’s the choice, if you want to stay more secure until you’re more educated. And yeah, honestly it’s kind of undergraduate qualification level to start understanding things well enough. Sorry, that’s just the reality I think.

Best option is to recommend people self host their camera feeds. People aren’t going to give cameras up, myself included, but keeping it all out of the ring/nest/netvue or any other cloud system is the way to go.

People can record in public, and that includes the area around their houses. Having 100s of thousands or millions of cameras sharing feeds with law enforcement for warrantless surveillance or corporate data hounds for more people tracking is the issue.

Been a bit since I played but I remember them being good, but iirc I still preferred mouse+keyboard when I was using ranged weapons, but that’s more because I suck with controllers than any weakness with the input method.

Take that with a grain of salt though because it really has been a while. I recommend you try it out.

Great game. Very much a terraria analogue, but top down.

Terraria is a masterpiece with many, many more years of development so it’s not the most fair comparison if you want to say that it’s better than Necesse, which I think it is, but this gem is IMO 2nd place in whatever the “terraria” genre might be called.

Probably less, yeah. Do you get them from the hopper style that drops from the bottom, or bins you scoop from?

If hopper I’d expect you to catch some sometimes because they settle down to the bottom, but if you scoop them from the top of bins I think it’s pretty unlikely you’d ever find any.

Your day may come. Be vigilant! Best to find them on the counter than in your mouth. Some brands, or bean types, have a lot more than others. Black and red beans have had the most for me, in that order. It sucks because it’s harder to spot the rocks in the black beans, too.

Yeah I find them more often in brands from foreign foods sections. Often times they’re better quality beans for a lot cheaper though!

I’ll take the couple minutes to scan for rocks if it means I’m getting better beans any day of the week. Fucking love beans, haven’t ever met one I don’t like.
