What if they just ask your age as step 1 of the setup?

Security camera recommendations? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Unless it changed recently if you already have 3rd party cameras, it's all but useless for any of those features. I am using Blue Iris/amcrest cameras and when I upgraded to a UDMP I was excited to try it with the new 3rd party camera support, but I can't really do anything but record. No detection stuff. Ended up only adding one camera and giving up.

And their cameras, are damn expensive. I have 6 cameras outside covering most of my house. Entireity, swapping over to unifi ones is not in the budget.

Looking for Recommendation on music player for children's room in c/technology@lemmy.world

I know JBL has wifi enabled bt speakers that would be an all in one. You'd still need your phone to initiate it. But being wifi it should be fine to walk away after starting the stream.

Any assistant (assuming they're still available) would be able to play music at night (a used Google mini) or similar.

We were building our house when my wife was pregnant, I put ceiling speakers in all the bedrooms so that is what we used. I built a diy whole house audio system which we did use to play sounds/music at night in my kids room.

I'll be waiting by the mail for my piece of that pie.

Which in turn creates a self fulfilling prophecy that they created themselves.

And I also wonder, will it only allow app installs from the app store like they're supposed to be doing on Android for phones?

McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron. (infosec.pub)
 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

Pixel 8 Pro - studdery scrolling and moving back to main feed (infosec.pub)
 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
