that said it might also have changed lol i ran into an issue helping someone with blink cameras not recording locally and it turns out that if you look around for this problem, at some point last year after an update people started having issues recording locally if they don't have a paid account even though they were supposedly allowed to keep doing that


I ran into this issue with my Blink camera. It was working fine until I had to replace my Wi-Fi and when I connected it to the new system it absolutely refused to record locally. I finally gave in and linked it to my Amazon account but the entire reason I bought that in the first place is because it could record locally.

I don't really want to give Amazon hundreds of hours of recordings of my front porch. :sigh:

I’m still not convinced by phishing training as anything other that something to make insurers happy, or a tool for HR to use to get some negative events into someone’s file by targeting them with phishing tests that could conceivably result in a click-through.

I'm struck by the disparity in how workplaces treat misuse of email compared to misuse of other company tools. If a forklift driver ignores safety warnings and causes an accident they're probably hosed but if an executive ignores basic email safety and cryptolockers the company the response is always to shrug and act as if it couldn't be avoided. Email is just another tool but no one seems to care if it's misused.

I use Edge when I want to use something other than Firefox or I want to make sure my various add-ons don't break something (like buying concert tickets for example).

I don't understand people who install Chrome when another Chromium browser is already installed. I guess they just really want to feed all their browsing data to Google? :shrug:

My biggest gripe with Win11 is that my cheapo flatbed scanner won't work with it. That scanner is attached to an old Win10 PC that can't be upgraded to Win11 anyway so this fall I have to either buy a new scanner, take the risk of using Win10 after it stops getting updated or convert that Win10 PC to some version of Linux.

I'm lazy and don't want to do anything so I might wind up just disconnecting that PC from the internet altogether
