This article told me little to nothing, so I went looking and bleeping computer says it they aren't listing the devices for security reasons. Guessing hikivision or dahua oem but who knows.

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-botnet-malware-exploits-two-zero-days-to-infect-nvrs-and-routers/Akamai's

Quotes from this article:

"Akamai's Security Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) first discovered the botnet in October 2023, noticing unusual activity on a rarely used TCP port targeting their honeypots."

And

"targeted devices were linked to a specific NVR manufacturer, not named in the report for security reasons"

Out of curiosity, how many magazines do you subscribe or have you subscribed to on Google news?

My feeling is that real or digital magazines are as useful as their newspaper counterpart but I don't want that either. A web page with content is perfectly acceptable for the same purpose.

And if he said "well there are lots of different types of governments and we can all work together" or some non answer then the headlines would be "biden refuses to call him a dictator". It's a no win so the best course was to say it and smooth it over later because maybe it signals they can both be truthful.

Lots of good came out of this meeting overall in my opinion.

I actually read about 50% of it, but something about the writing style was not working for me and I was focused more on how it was written than what was written. Stopped reading it. I actually like the movie and wanted the details only a book can provide.

Anyway maybe not relevant to you but if I don't like it, I don't read it. Too many other things to enjoy rather than trudging through something I don't.

I used to use it for shopping lists, but then one day assistant said it had moved. I couldn't find it, instructions were unclear so I gave up on shopping lists and keep.

I've been burned many times by Google since then, and they've taken me from a customer with a lot of Google products and services to only a backup email account and that's about it.

I'm using Open Media Server on a PC. Docker for Plex and a DAS for data storage. It isn't simple but it's not hard and it's been stable and easy to use after you figure out setup and get used to where things are in menus. It's basically a nas with docker albeit a little slower because it's USB storage.

Agreed. He's very monotone and I don't think his mic is very good. I like the content, not trying to tear someone down but he's not a small channel anymore. Wish the production value was a bit higher to engage us more. I want to watch every video but I only watch the ones that I really want to know more about, for this reason.

I have other financial priorities at the moment so most streaming services are a want and not a need even if I love watching sports. The price is not low enough to buy it because I enjoy it and can justify it. Maybe I'll budget for it next year.

Baseball was the same way but luckily YES network did streaming for baseball and I was able to watch the games at a price I felt was reasonable. Also I only subscribed for the season, well technically not the whole season because the Yankees were killing me. That's part of the deal only streaming 1 team. I couldn't watch any other team so why stay subbed?

I was subscribed to paramount+ for Star Trek, and occasionally I'd pause to catch Easter eggs or read something on the screen, get a better look at a ship, etc - but all I could see was a shirtless man selling me old spice. It was actually really frustrating.

How do I stop someone from stealing it? I'm for it but I live in suburbia and the stores don't have bike racks for anything other than a parking lot. It's not a "bad" area but it has people. A $500 bike is one thing but a $1500 bike is another.

I don't think there is any secure bike parking as mentioned in the article and I'm not talking daily commute to work. If anyone has any tips I'm open to ideas.

P6P is a solid phone and I've had great luck with it. I haven't maxed anything out so wondering why I should get a faster chip with more memory so I can take photos of my dog and message my friends. Google Fi is doing just $400 off a 8P which I may take because I don't want their watch or buds. I'm not sure what I'll do.

Unless there are some circumstances that switching will protect her then no. My opinion of course. I learned a long time ago that nontechnical people, young or old, need to value and want to use the tools or it will only cause frustration and less trust in your opinion on other things that may be more critical.

You can explain why something is better or worse but let them make their own choice without being pushed or they won't be invested in the change.
