quote:The means matter.
We’ve always wanted our borders enforced. That’s a core function of the federal government.
quote:If you want a city/state that is not a sanctuary, go there.
All you leftists, in every western country, are striving for borderless socialist states full of imported third worlders. It’s the same exact tune wherever your people are. Forgive me if I don’t want my country to turn into Somalia. If you want Somalia, go there.
Years from now, I hope you remember when you cheered on the federal government for imposing its will on the states with physical force.

quote:Nope. You are completely missing the point.
You want ICE agents to be unarmed?
quote:Sometimes law enforcement requires LEO identities to be shielded. If agents need to be anonymous while enforcing immigration law, you're doing it wrong.
Muh masks! Well your comrades dox and harass these agents so of course they need to cover their faces.
quote:You guys act like the ends always justify the means. The means matter. The end result is not the only result. The means produce their own results. In this case the means appear to be if not the primary then a co-objective. It's a show. When you show up and do the exact thing that people are telling you loudly and clearly that they do not want you to do, you can "prove" that anyone is violent. Then you can point and tell your supporters "see? I told you they were violent" and justify poking that bear even more. I ask you to be honest about who the aggressors are.
If y’all truly cared, your people would stop harassing and attacking the agents. And your people would end the sanctuary city/state bullshite which would allow ICE agents to get cooperation from local LEO and reduce the need for ICE to go into the communities. But no, you actively want to turn this country into a border less third world shitpot.
You should think long and hard about your logic. You are saying that if the locals don't want to cooperate with the feds, then the feds have a "need" to roll up with a heavy-handed approach and military posture. Whatever happened to small government?

Maybe one day (10 years? 20 years?) you'll see that your statements here perfectly describe these ICE agents and this administration for putting them in this position.
quote:
Hard to believe people like you actually exist.
Most people actually do not want their government sending agents out into their own cities in unmarked vehicles wearing masks and carrying guns. Does that really surprise you?

this and going back to the idiot that got herself killed in Minnesota, who the hell pulls up and runs their mouth to people with loaded weapons just doing their job????
Don't be a dumbass= you live.
Someone who thought she lived in a free country? Being a dumbass and running your mouth is supposed to equal you live anyway.
The fact that we have government agents whose job it is to go around the country masked and armed confronting people who clearly don't want them around is such an embarrassment to what America is supposed to be.

It was a situation created entirely by the deceased. No way in hell did any protester there think that they were protecting citizens from a sinister army of bad guys out to harm the neighborhood. If they did, they would have hidden and called 911. Dead woman was intentionally interfering with ICE, and when placed under arrest, she drove her truck at a law enforcement officer in an escape attempt. She didn't panic. She carried out her plan of targeting ICE. She is the poster child for FAFO.
This administration will be remembered as the one that encouraged America to reclaim their balls.

There are thousands of armed masked men driving around in unmarked vehicles all over the country snatching people out of their lives.
You think you can tell a real agent from someone posing as one in the heat of the moment? You think you will remain calm and rational as the men approach and try to open your door with the window rolled down? You think you would be completely aware of your surroundings in this situation and know that another man had walked up the passenger side and was now in front of your vehicle as you are looking out the driver window?
It doesn't matter how calm you are or think you are or think you would be, I wouldn't blame anyone for panicking in this situation.
These things will continue to happen because fear is the tactic and that will trigger fight or flight. And whatever you choose you will be labeled a terrorist and half the country will mindlessly agree.
History will not be kind to this administration.

quote:You are 100% in denial. How can you say there are not many practical use cases? AI can be applied to all knowledge work. It can be applied to all creative work. That covers probably 2/3 of US workers.
Why shouldn't I? It's got all the usual hallmarks of one. Superficial hype driven appeal, high investment without clear types of return, surrounded by buzzwords and lofty promises and not many practical use cases, etc. If you want to say I am in denial, then so be it, but I still stand by my opinion. I've been in the tech field far too long to see execs fall for this exact same type of sales pitch time and time again.
You can argue that it is presently not being applied well, but it's really hard to argue that it's not useful. Maybe we don't know how the economics will play out or how the industry will look tomorrow (much less in a year or 5), but it's absolutely not a "fad".
ChatGPT has replaced Google search for me. If that's all it ever does, that's not a fad.
quote:We might be in a bubble, but what shakes out in the end will probably be as impactful and pervasive as the internet.
No - most of us have just been in this industry long enough to know the latest tech fad when we see it. Usually what happens is there is some change from the new tech, but not anywhere even close to the initial promises and predictions.

quote:Starlink is absolutely not required nor will it ever be. Any place that needs this level of traffic management has been saturated with terrestrial connectivity options for decades.
The answer will probably be Starlink. But not until they can get the cost of both the transponders and service down to almost nothing.
If any company is positioned to handle traffic management, it's Google. They already mitigate traffic to an extent by routing Maps users around congested areas. Applying their data to traffic light control would work wonders. Any system that reacts to what's happening at an intersection *right now* is already too late. An optimal system would know not only where every driver is but where they will be, and when.
quote:When "AI" is the answer, it will be driving the cars, not just working the traffic lights. Lights won't be needed anymore.
Another one of those 'just a matter of time' where AI is the answer, but not yet.
If you will only be managing one or a few domains, I'd just pick the cheapest registrar. More than a handful and I'd say the management tools start to matter more. And if you are getting something other than a generic TLD your choice of registrar may become limited.
I guess most hosts these days offer "site builder" features, and a lot also offer domain registry too. One domain, simple site with nothing fancy, I'd pick the cheapest all-in-one host/registrar with site builder like wix/squarespace/bluehost/whatever.
I can't comment on or compare the site builder tools.

quote:It works because that's how PSK is defined. And yes the evil twin AP is an obvious attack vector and that's why protocols treat wifi as hostile transport.
Seems like creating a new network with the same SSID/PW shouldn't work. Otherwise, devices are very open to MITM attacks.

quote:It still works every time I do it, whether I use Ubiquiti gear or something else, and it doesn't matter which way I'm swapping.
That may have worked at one time, but it really doesn’t anymore. I tried the same thing recently and every device on my network wasn’t fooled. They knew it was a different network, despite all the settings being identical.
quote:Ubiquiti doesn't expose these "nitty gritty" settings, hiding most of it behind friendlier settings, but you can still tune for most environments. The biggest knocks on Ubiquiti have been price/performance and the lack of ONVIF compliance. They have recently allowed ONVIF cams into their system with some caveats, but it doesn't go the other way and you still can't use their cams with an ONVIF system. But they do have a powerful alarm system with an API so you can integrate that way if necessary. And now it looks like suddenly Ubiquiti might be the best bang for the buck. They have started adding a 7% tariff charge on most of their camera gear, and I appreciate that they itemize that.
I didn’t realize how big of a deal this was before getting my hands on my first decent Dahua gear last week. Holy crap it is nearly infinitely better than anything I’ve seen. Full control over every little detail possible down to the curves, shutter speed curves, every stream imaginable, layered streaming, clean API, any bitrate you want, frame rates in increments of 1.. Icing on the cake is that you can turn off all “chatter.”
Uniview (UNV) is I think the third largest white label Chinese camera manufacturer, and they avoided most of the trouble longer than dahua and hik. Are they getting tangled up in it as well?
