"I have nothing to hide"

Look at this, yes it’s on Reddit. But probably true, because Apple was going to release AI junk to scan for illegal images. Saying you have nothing to hide then too, isn’t very smart, because it had/has false positives, so it’s going to send private data to somebody.

If you still think that, would you think that in China? Look at what Trump is actually doing. But I guess some people just want to believe the propaganda on the TV. Freedom of speech is under attack, if they don’t like what you said about Trump, well you might get arrested and/or killed.

I think Trump wants to make the US worse then China, until there is no US anymore, and the entire world is a police state.

No wonder they waited so long to take over the US government, not just Trump, he’s not the boss. They wanted tech to continue developing, and for more and more people, to give data to US companies, like Apple and Google. Might be a conspiracy theory, but republicans have plenty of those.

Apple never cared about privacy, they only care about money. Google never meant do no evil, they only care about money as well. Maybe they both planned for the police state in the future.

But remember, there’s things out of control of humans, like asteroids hitting the Earth. So if they make it to a police state, a ton of people will die either way, and on the way to a police state.

I turned my Mac mini off, too lazy to disable the security thing so I can disable the spyware. The spyware is already there, they just need to activate it. I’ll eventually wipe the Mac mini, either get rid of it, or just let it sit unused. Maybe destroy it, since it’s just a hunk of spyware. Putting Linux on it isn’t the best option, I doubt everything works in Linux on it.

Maybe I’ll buy a Linux phone soon. Well, an old Android phone, that can run Linux. The camera might not work on the one I’d get, but I don’t care. It works in Android, or should, but not in Linux. It’s faster then most Linux phones, the one that might be better, I think is a pre order, and you have to import it I think, so tariffs.

I don’t want my phone or any device’s resources wasted on AI to spy on me.

The only problem is, good luck getting everybody I talk/text to get a Linux phone, and to not use the cell towers for calling or texting. Use an app that encrypts it.

Oh and eventually, you probably won’t be able to use the internet without the spyware, or without pretending the spyware is on it. It’ll be a cat and mouse game. If they can find you, you’ll be arrested and/or killed. Maybe you can make what’s displayed encrypted to all other processes on the device. So they get a bogus screenshot.

One state wants to ban VPNs, so I guess no more working from home in that state. Better hope, where you work, there’s a server, not in a remote location. What the red states are doing, will be done in all states, if Trump succeeds.

Don’t use Tailscale, if it’s a US company, it’s no longer safe to use. Too lazy to look who makes it. So I got rid of it. Just using WireGuard, but local only, not opening ports. Too paranoid.

If a country, wants privacy for their citizens, they’d need to make their own hardware, and use open source software. No manufacturing the hardware elsewhere either. In the future, if Trump succeeds, and humans last long enough on this planet, new hardware will have spyware built in. You’ll have to know how to hack the hardware to do anything about it. So future hardware/devices will be useless.

Then again, there might be no new hardware or devices, since they want to murder a ton of people. If they murder all the people that know how to make stuff, well good luck getting any new tech.

Well, now you know what the problem with having tech in a primitive species is. Instead of using it for good, they do the opposite.

Aliens or whatever you want to call them, probably won’t stop humans from wiping themselves out. They might protect us from bad beings we know nothing about. But ourselves, would be interfering with our free will. But then again, some people believe we are alone in a massive universe, with multiple dimensions. It’s a bunch of emptiness. That makes no sense, why would the universe need to be massive for only humans?

Well, Earthfiles will probably cease to exist at some point. Does that mean some of her info is true? If she gets arrested, then I’d have to say yes. Then there’s your proof Aliens exist. Even though there’s plenty of other evidence, if you open your eyes.

If I keep getting money long enough, and live long enough, no more Apple Watch for me, I probably won’t get a different watch either. And I probably won’t run Android apps on the phone I put Linux on, you can if you know how. Well, maybe apps that aren’t in the app store, that don’t have spyware.

Another option, is to port my number to a VoIP provider, and use a soft phone on one of my computers.

Maybe I won’t follow the instructions that get the GPS working, that can be used to spy on you. But so can cell towers.

I wouldn’t use any Apple devices just on WiFi either. If the spyware gets turned on, it’ll just make it slow. Even if you make it so it can only access white listed IPs. You can do that on your router or hardware firewall, pfSense is nice. Make sure you don’t allow any Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Oracle, Microsoft and a lot of other IPs.

Hmm, maybe I should block all those IPs now, and see how much internet I can’t access. Some people get servers from Google and Amazon, and Microsoft. Or maybe I should run an anti Google site on a Google server. See how long it lasts, and till I get a knock on my door.

Might be fun to destroy my Apple spyware junk with a hammer, and film it, and post it. Not on YouToot, I stopped going to YouToot. An anti Apple site. No, I don’t care if it’s worth money. I have bigger worries then money now.

If you want to fuck with Apple’s or anybody’s spyware, make an app that triggers the false positives constantly, and sends the data to them. Not the exact same content will be shown, it can use AI to generate text and/or images, that they probably won’t like. That would be the only use for my Mac mini. Yeah, you might get arrested and/or killed, but it’d be worth it. Hmm, wonder how long till the mini dies, if you do that.

Oh yeah for people that think everything is fine, you can find documents on the actual government sites, with alarming stuff. Like against freedom of speech. But if you see no problem, well good luck.

Might be time to stop giving assholes any data

ICE Just Spent Millions On Surveillance Tech Banned By Facebook

Well, that is any new data.

Where are the “don’t tread on me” conservatives?

The reason, you also shouldn’t use iOS or Android. Probably not Windows either. Or even macOS.

The guy that got busted because they used a Stingray, I think turned into an activist, and said it’s dangerous technology, now Americans can find out why.

Make sure you put your phone in airplane mode, and in a Faraday cage, if you protest.

Well, when nuclear warfare breaks out, I guess their AI won’t work anymore. And neither will the internet.

Sounds like that searches the dark web too, so putting any data on the dark web isn’t a good idea either. Might be good in the future to read the actual news, but don’t post comments or anything anywhere.

Also, it isn’t wise to use anything from Google. Google will gladly hand over data, without a warrant. Apple may soon too, if not already. Luckily, I don’t use my email for much, so oh well. Mostly get newsletters/spam.

I won’t be buying anything I don’t need anymore, I’m not participating in this BS. Just assholes get money if you buy stuff you don’t need. Think food stamps is changing anyways, so probably won’t get that anymore.

On another note, I should cancel my DirecTV streaming service, that includes Disney+, and Disney has no balls to stand up to a dictator. And I will still pay bills for some stuff I don’t necessarily need, but no need objects or stuff of any kind.

When I have to move, I won’t pay any bills anymore, since I’ll have no money. I’ll be in survival mode.

Oh and the radio saying not to worry about stuff that might happen in the future because it probably won’t, is very wrong, if you worry about dying in the future, well you are very likely going to die someday. Also, if you see what Trump is doing, you might as well worry about the future, if you know anything about history.

Amazon ring cameras also hand over data, possibly without a warrant.

Some people just want to live their life in peace, without worrying about political prosecution, because they don’t agree with somebody’s evil actions. Killing people is evil. Blowing people up on a boat, is evil. Especially, when they aren’t even a threat.

Congratulations

The King of America has spoken, you will be forced to believe what he wants you to, only one political party now.

Enjoy your new King. I look forward to dying, hopefully before next year. Thank God for health problems.

Samhung Pro Endurance my ass

Will still die eventually in a Raspberry Pi. I’d recommend buying a cheap micro SD card. Finally got the Pi restored and everything working.

Used another Samhung Pro Endurance card, cause the other card is bigger, don’t need a big card, this one is too big as it is.

If Linux won’t boot after restoring backup, make sure you changed /etc/fstab, and if using Armbian on a Pi, set the label to what cmdline.txt is looking for.

Conservatives are pathetic

Well, most of them are.

They don’t believe in the constitution, like separation of state and church, among many other things.

They should go live in a different country, instead of taking over this one. Maybe Russia would like them, they can go fight in Russia’s war.

They aren’t even pro life, as immigrants are dying, in ICE custody, and the conservatives aren’t doing anything. Some of those immigrants were here legally, until Trump took their legal status away.

That’s like making something illegal, and then saying it goes backwards. So if you broke the law before it was the law, you’re guilty of it anyways]

Also, the federal government shouldn’t be funding these illegal and inhumane ICE concentration/death camps. Instead make the rich asshole conservatives fund it.

If you don’t believe in separation of state and church, that applies to abortion, abortion is a religious issue, then you can fuck off.

I wonder how many people these pro lifers will manage to kill in the next 5-10 years. Some sun event might happen in that time frame, killing a bunch of people. Afterwards or possibly before, the military will be in charge.

Just think if conservatives, controlled everything before now. There’d be nothing, no electronics, as they don’t believe in education. So.. Good luck with that.

Not all people detained by ICE are illegal either. Just protest them, and you might find yourself detained. You can fuck off too, if you don’t believe everybody should have the right to protest.

Conservatives are evil, they just hide behind religion. They hate poor people too.

7artisans 7.5mm f2.8 Mark II MFT

Images look good to me, only took two test photos, one looking out window, and one of the living room and kitchen. You can find samples on the internet. Not here though. I don’t share, cause I don’t care.

Can’t tell how soft it is @ infinity focus. That one was the looking out window photo, window makes it too hard to tell. But looks fine to me.

Bought for taking photos outside, not of people or any other creatures. Maybe I’ll make a panorama. If I ever go outside, maybe it’ll be my most used lens.

One site said it’s sharp, sharp enough for me. Somebody on Amazon said something about infinity focus not being sharp enough, or was that a different lens? Well, this one is $10 cheaper then the Meike, I was going to get that one.

Wanted a wide non zoom lens, manual focus is fine, cheaper. I have the Panasonic 12mm-32mm or whatever it is, possibly not wide enough, and not satisfying to use, thanks to it’s auto focus.

Had to buy before the tariffs go into effect.

Tello went downhill?

Some people got their accounts terminated, and they won’t really tell them why, other then some security system flagged them. Perhaps they aren’t telling the entire story.

Guess I risk losing my number by keeping it. Too lazy to switch, and don’t want to pay yearly for a cheaper price. Thanks to republicans, the price of lots of stuff is going up soon. Also, they might get rid of Social Security at some point. I won’t really need cell service when that happens though.

T-Mobile Connect has a plan for one dollar more. But T-Mobile likes getting hacked. Also, they bowed down to Trump, and got rid of their diversity policies. I’d rather not give a Mormon money directly.

Then again, the cheapest Ultra Mobile plan with only 500 MB of data could work, I’ve barely used any data this month, probably under 500 MB.

Hmm Good2GoMobile for 1 GB is $60 per year. Which is $5 a month. Since that’s about how much a month of service used to be on non prepaid providers, for the cheapest plan, perhaps I’d pay $60 a year for service. Need to look up reviews on Good2GoMobile, 1 GB is plenty, if I don’t run any speed tests, and stay on WiFi. The 3 GB plan is $10 per month paid yearly.

Hmm it doesn’t cut off after 1 GB? Then it’s better then Tello, Tello used to provide that but stopped. Hmm, they might suck too, and possibly worse. What about infimobile or whatever? Oh wait, think I read it can have issues too.

Probably have to get something like Mint Mobile, if you want less issues. Ultra Mobile is owned by same people I think.

I refuse to port number back to Google Voice, you can lose it, if you don’t login for a while. I’d rather pay to keep the number.

Infimobile uses Verizon? No thanks. Bigger dick then T-Mobile. Might use T-Mobile too, not sure how you select network you want, maybe I need to enter the IMEI or whatever. Can’t do it yet anyways, Tello is paid till next month, and not much money left. The $75 a year plan, you only get 2500 minutes and 2500 texts, that’s plenty for me. Use iMessage for most texts, which might be free. Or just pay $99 for the 10 GB plan, and no limits on minutes or texts. But 10 GB is overkill.

Just pay $99, if you use all 10 GB, it doesn’t cut off, so nice and slow data after 10 GB. Cheaper then what I’m paying per month right now, $14 + taxes for the Tello plan I’m on.

Hmm, Good2GoMobile is cheaper for 1 GB, and it doesn’t cut off the data. So might just be cheap and go with Good2GoMobile instead. Not seeing how to select T-Mobile on Infimobile, and I don’t want Verizon. Good2GoMobile is a smaller provider, perhaps that’s a good thing, or bad thing.

AKASO 360 Weatherproof 360° Action Camera

The Insta360 X4 is probably better, but the AKASO is only $200. Think it came out on the 7th, which is why I didn’t see it. According to the review, I didn’t read all of it, but it suffers in less light, it needs to be bright apparently. That is probably worse then the X4.

Not sure what accessories you can get for it either. Amazon makes a GoPro chest mount that was $13, if you have the utility frame for the X4, you can use GoPro accessories. It works fine with my X4.

Can you get some kind of case for it with a cold shoe mount? I doubt using my light for outside 360 video would work well though. If it can record in normal mode, then it might work, at least inside.

I doubt Best Buy sells the AKASO anyways. Nope, so you can’t trade something in to Best Buy for a gift card, and buy the AKASO.

Oh and I don’t think AKASO has Linux software either, so there’s no advantage I can see to it, other then price. Now if they had Linux software, I would have wished I bought it instead. Or maybe not, the X4 is still better. I can record 8k @ 30 FPS, I think. Says to only do so in good lightning though. Haven’t tried recording @ 8k yet, as it’s only 30 FPS. Also, I can’t export at 8k on the iPhone, only 4k. So if I edit the video, no 8k for me. So I guess 8k is kind of pointless.

I could buy a new Mac mini with 16 GB of RAM someday, but I think I’ll get a lens for my camera instead, it’s $220 vs over $300 depending on the Mac mini model. Or maybe the TCL QM5k for $330, mini LED TV. That’s bargain price for a mini LED TV.

Does the Windows software need a good GPU? Cause I could use Windows crap in a VM, and edit the video with that. But I only have one GPU, and not messing around with GPU passthrough. I kind of dislike Windows too much to use it in a VM though. But that would be cheaper then a Mac with soldered RAM.

Well, the laptop has two GPUs, thanks to eGPU. But I’m incredibly lazy. The laptop probably has a Windows license as well, probably came with it.

Editing Insta360 on iPhone is better then M1 Mac mini

Probably because my Mac mini only has 8 GB of RAM, so the Mac software requires more RAM then the mobile version.

I refuse to use Windows. No Linux software, probably doesn’t work in Wine, the latest version. Oh well. Looks like I’ll just have to use my phone. Can’t use iPad mini, got rid of it.

Not sure that would get me to buy a new Mac mini either. Might need it to edit these videos on a computer instead of a phone, but it works on my phone, and that’s paid for.

And not sure how low light people are talking about the X4 not being good at, if you need more light, just get the utility frame, and mount a light. Problem solved. I should charge my light. But I think turning the kitchen light on, provided enough light.

What is super slow, is exporting videos on the Mac mini. At least 5k is. Video it exported looks like ass on my desktop using Linux. And drops frames.

I’ll use it for recording dogs, that’s more interesting then recording a bike ride, which isn’t a good idea with a broken wrist. You could record the camera person if recording porn. And the porn, all in one video. That camera man is butt naked, and he’s cumming too. Now if it’s on a tripod, I guess there is no camera person. I’d use my light for porn. Hmm, good way to record solo porn. You might not need a tripod, depending on how many wrists you have.

It can be used as a webcam in Linux too, just connect via USB, select the webcam USB mode, and it’ll work in Linux too, not just Windows and macOS. Actually might be better in Linux then macOS, macOS is missing one resolution. In OBS, you can make a virtual webcam with that too. Maybe use the light if using it as a webcam, so I don’t have to turn more lights on. And the video it records, both files, can be viewed in VLC, even though one file extension isn’t associated with VLC.

Probably could edit it with something else perhaps, but not the 5k file. Don’t know how it’s getting a 5k video, it isn’t from one of the files, or possibly neither of the files.

Too much work using third party software, as you can see the lens in the original files. It could be combining the files somehow.

And getting a new iPhone to record Spatial Video, isn’t worth it, more expensive, and will use the phone’s battery, instead of it’s own removable battery. And I think I need head tracking, so I can look around perhaps. Too bad I bought the wrong adapter. Don’t feel like ordering the right one.

With a chest mount, you can use it as a body cam.

360 is nice, more editing can be done after the recording.

Clever

VITURE uses the same title for two different USB C XR charging adapters. The cheaper one, is apparently old, and won’t work with an iPhone. The reason I bought it. If I didn’t have a Steam Deck, that this adapter should work with, then I’d send it back.

Won’t be buying the other adapter either. The new one only works with the iPhone.

Look at the color of where you plug in the glasses and power, one is silver, that’s the old one, and the other is black.

Bummer, no VR features for me, thanks VITURE and Apple.

I can charge and use glasses at the same time, the only part of the adapter that works. The automatic switching to 3D mode, doesn’t work, clicking VR just says to connect to the adapter. Maybe someday I’ll try it with my Steam Deck. Or not. Maybe send it back, and just have no adapter. They can in that case, kiss my ass, for using the same title, making it seem like one is cheaper but will work.

Spatial video is kind of cool

Once you figure out how to put glasses in the right mode. Otherwise, the default mode shows two images, almost like a line in the middle.

Probably need the adapter that adds functionality to it, and lets you charge with a cable while connected to glasses. And don’t bother using these glasses with a computer, it’s a miserable experience.

Now I need a Spatial Video of Guardians of The Galaxy. Any of them is fine. Or all of them.

And the spatial video mode is useless for some stuff. Like in the Spacewalker or Spacewanker app. When looking at the YouToot spatial videos. Apparently you have to manually change the mode when doing different stuff. Annoying. No dizziness or anything.

And Insta360 stabilization might not be very good. So the video might make you sick. I can just get a gimbal too. It’s the Evo that has worse stabilization then the iPhone 15 that does Spatial Video, either the Pro and/or Pro Max. What about the x3?

X3 is only $250, so get a tripod or gimbal as well. Well, they make phone gimbals.

Damn splint thing, almost spilled my drink on desk. Good thing it wasn’t full.

Is the Evo newer or older then x3? If older, the x3 stabilization might be fine.

These glasses will drain your battery fast. I’d recommend getting the charger adapter thing, so you get more features, and can charge too, or just use a MagSafe battery. Still need charger adapter thing for the other features though.

Kind of want the Neck thing now, so I can remote play PS games from my PS5. You need GamePass Ultimate crap to stream Xbox games apparently. Even if you own the game.

I’m waiting to buy anything else until Amazon’s sale. Will the Insta360 X3 get cheaper? Want to take videos of my mom’s dogs with the Insta360. Then watch em with my glasses.

But the adapter adds VR and stuff on the iPhone. Does it work with iPad mini too? Then I can drain iPad’s battery instead.

I like watching YouToot with it, the browser is like a browser on a computer, except it isn’t. Takes browsing to the next level on a phone. You can convert regular videos to 3D, looks cool. Do it on Songify videos on YouToot. Then you can see a naked blurred out guy in 3D.

Oops

Broke my wrist. Won’t be doing much for a while. Using the computer is a massive pain in the ass now. If the other one breaks too, I won’t have to wipe my ass or do anything anymore.

But the trick is before you get to the doctor leave your hand/wrist in the right position. Less pain if you do that. Then doctor will be shocked when they see you have a fracture. LOL.

Maybe a bowel blockage too will help. Maybe I’ll lose a bunch more weight, since eating is too much work now. The one whom died from a wrist injury.

VITURE Pro XR/AR Glasses

What will the price be next month? Currently cheaper then a Panasonic camera.

Would be nice to use with the Steam Deck, might get a bigger display with those glasses. I checked my last eyeglass prescription, and they should adjust fine for me.

If you say a VR headset is cheaper, maybe, but I won’t purchase anything made by Meta. Therefore, I’m not too sure a VR headset will be cheaper.

I’d need some kind of adapter to use with my desktop though. Not that I would want to.

Apparently you need to be 15 feet away to get the max display size they give you. Which kind of sucks. So maybe if I move my recliner so it’s pointing towards the kitchen, it’ll be 15 feet away. From what? A wall?

The ones that have an OS on it, that aren’t just a display, cost more. The best ones, aren’t really the best ones, as you have to buy lenses if you have a prescription. No built in adjustment like the VITURE. But it might take photos and videos. But the price is going up after June 30th on those. Plus you have to buy lenses.

How big would the display be from where my recliner is to where the TV is? Bigger then 58"? Maybe see if I can buy them refurbished on eBay, for less. A little cheaper on eBay refurbished, almost $100 less. Nice. And another $88 or so off with coupons. How long are coupons good for? Not like I need to buy anything else this month.

Products with inconspicuous signs of use after being unsealed by the user.1. Appearance: Minor exterior imperfections such as scratches, dents, etc. are visible from a distance of 30cm. Laser engraving may exhibit slight wear (still recognizable).2. Functionality: Functions properly.3. Packaging: Original packaging, previously opened.4. After-sales Guarantee: One-year after-sales guarantee.

Hmm… Not refurbished like CrApple stuff?

But $250.83 is a good price.

And good for road trips, you can watch porn without disrupting the driver and other passengers. Just don’t get freaky with yourself. ICE might pull you over.

They might be too heavy anyways. Not sure my eyes will hurt, but my head probably will. 30 day return though, so if my head breaks, I can get my money back, but no new head. I’ll have to go to the head doctor for that.

Damn taxes, still almost $300 after taxes. Now to see how much money I have. Hmm, I can wear em in the bathroom, while watching porn. Might be more interesting to use with an iPad, if you have an iPad mini. Then you get a giant display. But supposedly not good for productivity.

Hmm, might need HDMI adapter, cause then I can plug directly into eGPU on laptop. Eh, too cheap to buy that too.

Who needs to save money? You don’t want the Nazis getting any of it.

Hmm, do over ear headphones work with it? Cause they probably sound better. I don’t see why not, might hurt though.

3m is almost 10 feet, so 15 feet away my ass. That review or feedback, needs to get their math right. Still kind of far. And what is passthrough mode? Like regular glasses? But the eye adjustment thing doesn’t fix that.

But good way to get a bigger display for the Steam Deck, without an actual display.

You might get Spatial Video too.

But how heavy is 78g? Might not be too heavy.

Hmm, if you aren’t single, you can watch porn in bed, and they’ll ask “WTF are you doing?”. Or they’ll remove your glasses, and you’ll say “Hey I almost got off”. Or while having sex, you can watch porn. You can fantasize about a model instead of them. Would be good for that guy in that porno, that was too busy/more interested in porn, then having sex with a real person.

Well, once you kill your brain with porn, the only thing that works is porn, so…

I assume it works with Linux, since it works with the Steam Deck. Which uses Linux, and it’s just a display.

Hmm, Spatial Porn. How much does a model charge per second? I only need five seconds. Oh crap, I don’t think I can record Spatial Video. How much does it cost to rent something that can? I only need it for five seconds.

GoPro might record Spatial Video. Problem solved, cheaper then CrApple. Hmm, GoPro might work in shower. Five second shower. And then blast off into space. Hmm, now to see which cameras support Spatial Video recording. You need a GoPro that does 360, or Insta360 another maker of video crap.

GoPro MAX is under $400. How long until I have enough money? Well, I’ll buy nothing expensive next month. Then in August I should have enough. Then another couple months or more to pay a model, for five seconds of her time.

Nice, you can even get a chest mount for it. Is hiring a model cheaper if no faces are shown? Just her massive fake titties? So it uses a regular SD Card? Nice, I got plenty. Well, not big enough probably. Bummer. Don’t buy SanDick, you might get a fake card. Lies, uses microSD. Good news, I have a big old one somewhere. The image says SD for the SD slot, should say microSD, if it’s microSD. Well, manual says microSD.

And only up to 256GB. Damn, can’t use my 512 GB one. Five seconds in RAW, might need a lot of space. Have a 128 GB one, but might be too slow. Is 3 better then 1? I assume UHS. Where did I buy this card? B&H Photo maybe. “UHS-I / V30 / U3 / Class 10”, should work then. But might need the 256 GB one. For five seconds of porn. Except, these might be better in dash cams, then GoPros. Same thing, five seconds of porn. Well, review said it works in GoPro. If it can work reliably in a constant recording dash cam, probably works in a GoPro, for five seconds of porn.

Sell the video for $69,000. Then I can move, since my income will be too high. Even if I only sell one copy, and then they steal it and share it. Like a pirate. And I won’t have enough money to sue them. So I’ll beg the rich model, to sue them for me. And the second five second video will be released, me kissing her feet.

Perhaps I will get a Panasonic camera

The G100 or G95, but refurbished, or open box. Cheaper, then say the G9II.

Keep old camera too, since it’s nice. But Panasonic probably has better video.

Can’t change lens on my phone, having to use software AI crap is annoying.

And get one without a bundled lens. Don’t need any lenses.

Should get a film camera though, might work when World War 3 starts. Or when UFOs show up. There’s tech to shut off electronics, not sure it works with film and older tech. It can make batteries lose all their power. Just watch Skinwalker Ranch.

Damn, the G100 has no IBIS. It’s only $320 on eBay for I think open box. Might have a Panasonic lens with OIS. But I want IBIS. I got manual dumb lenses, I might want to use. The video mode has EIS, but that doesn’t work for images. Take more pictures then videos.

The cheapest might be the G95, not exactly small though. Smaller would be better. But no IBIS is a deal breaker.

Keep trying to login to my non existent "FB" account

Bots are pathetic. Just like bots that email you, and use the first part of your email as your name, and can’t even use a space. LOL.

You know what else is pathetic? Republicans. They will imprison people just to make money. The good news, is someday soon, money won’t be worth shit. So jokes on them.

Interesting, Walmart owns Vizio now

Didn’t know Walmart bought Vizio in 2024. Well, that might explain why there’s no 65" Vizio TVs on Costco’s site.

I probably won’t buy a new TV, the only problem with my TV is no VRR, not sure it’s worth paying $378 for a new Vizio just to get VRR. And since Walmart owns Vizio now, it really isn’t worth paying anything for a new Vizio.

To get a TV that is actually better, besides just VRR support, I’d have to pay $600+ if I want a bigger one, they don’t make 58" ones that are better.

So I think I’ll pass. Once it dies, I’ll just get a cheap Hisense probably. The good news is, I’ll probably die or something before the TV, so no worries.

And I doubt they will get cheaper in two years, with World War 3 happening. Probably won’t be any TVs to buy then. If there are, they will be expensive as fuck.

Not to mention, in a police state, there won’t be anything worth watching. Unless you get stuff by bypassing the censorship, which will be illegal, and may result in a beheading. The reason my TV will probably live longer then me. Nothing like getting murdered by fascists. Not to mention, a war will be happening, so murdered by a nuke is a possibility too.

NameCrane, managed database down

Wow, haven’t had it that long, and took two sites down, because the database is down.

Good job NameCrane. I’m too lazy to email support.

Thought the managed database would be better. Guess not.

Oh well, the nukes will be falling from the sky soon anyways. Don’t forget the fires. Good job republicans, starting World War 3, with their stupidity. They love killing, and Trump. And guns. Pro life my ass. Gun dildos, those would sell out at a republican rally.

Well, fullscreen works in KDE again

I’m able to put it on the other monitor again. Maybe the next KDE update, will break it again.

Made a window rule to force Guild Wars 2, to the other monitor, had to use the position setting I think. The screen setting is useless. Or maybe I had two rules in two different places.

The TCL TV, I think the model is Q77 or something, may or may not be very good. Guess it gets bright enough for a bright sunny room. One review claims it’s washed out if you do that. Will it be cheaper next month? Should probably get the 65" one, so people don’t say my old TV is bigger, like it matters. The TCL has VRR, my current TV doesn’t.

I won’t use the Google TV crap, I have an Apple TV for that. Will probably plug Ethernet into it, to get updates. But I won’t sign into Google on it. They claim it’s fake HDR, unless you get OLED, well, in that case, I’ll never have “real” HDR. Not even mini LED huh? The 65" is currently $430, but sale might end on the 29th of this month. Bummer, if it doesn’t go back on sale next month. Or not. I won’t buy a new Apple TV either, if it dies, I’ll use my Atari VCS, which has more then Atari’s OS on it, some other Linux distro I have on an external SSD. Just use a web browser and/or Kodi.

Apple’s Tim Cook donated to Trump, and I’ll never forget while alive. That also means, no new iPhone for me. If it dies, I have no idea what I’ll replace it with. Maybe nothing. Get a landline. Or a VoIP line.

And the that TV might be like the Q6, which I think I looked up on rtings, and gets horrible scores, probably worse then my ancient Vizio. See Reddit, guess you can’t watch hockey on it.

I’ll pass on that TV, sounds like junk for $430. Somebody recommends the “QM751G” or better. That model ain’t sold anymore, in the US. How about the QM6K? It’s mini LED, but I’d probably only be willing to get the 55" one, based on price.

Screw TCL, get the 55" Panasonic for $500. Or 65" for $600. Would take another month of not spending all my money. Unless, I want to be broke.

Looks at the Panasonic on rtings.com. Not sure I can afford anything better then that, it’s too good for me. Can I get a cheaper Panasonic that’s worse? Only 7.2 in gaming, but probably about the same as my Vizio in gaming, but everything else probably smokes it. The Hisense U8N is better, but how much is it? LOL, almost 1k for 65", too good for me then. What about the Hisense U7N? Nope, costs more then Panasonic, so no thanks, even $100 more is too much.

I found the TCL they recommend, but it’s out of stock. And the 65" costs more then Panasonic. Funny, if it’s a real Panasonic, not a bought their brand name, then the name brand is cheaper. I’d pay for Panasonic’s brand, because lots of people hate em. It’s premium compared to Vizio. Or maybe it’s because I want a Panasonic micro 4/3 camera.

Sucks, can’t pay monthly for the 65" Panasonic on crappyu Amazon, but can for the 55" one, it would be $99.60 a month. But I think five months, and Social Security might be gone in five months. Or I might kick the bucket. Eh, let go, and it ain’t my problem.

What about Panasonic W70? $50 cheaper, and I don’t care about mini-LED. No review on rtings. I’d risk it, name brand, Panasonic is great, screw Samsung. No Dolby Vision? Lame, my cheap Vizio has that I think. But it’s “Fake” according to somebody on Costco.

No VRR on that model, so kind of pointless to buy, unless I just want Panasonic and/or bigger. Bummer. Buydig.com sells the Panasonic W95A, so no need to use Amazon. Seeing if they have it refurbished, or something else refurbished.

Keep the TV, and buy a camera instead. My camera is probably more ancient then my TV. Camera would cost more. Buy some booze instead, and get addicted. At least, that’s what I told myself to do in my dream.

World War 3 may be coming soon

Apparently Trump did an act of war against Iran. Congress is supposed to approve that, but he did it without them. No they won’t impeach Trump for doing anything, including starting a war. The economy will tank.

Will be funny if there’s no oil to buy though. Those big oil assholes, won’t make any money, they probably love Trump.

China and/or Russia could respond to the US’s bombing of Iran. Both have nukes, and both can reach the US. This is what happens when a country elects a lunatic. Oh and what happened to America First?

Well, enjoy the king of the “free” world.

ICE doesn’t want anybody to know what’s going on in their detention facilities, no shit, they just admitted to more abuse, not just kidnapping people, including citizens. They call people “bodies”, not people. So what, are they going to mass murder those people then? Since they are just “bodies”?

Glad I don’t vote republican. These guys are evil.

Shit stirrers

That’s what I’m calling trolls from now on. It suits them well. Keep stirring that shit, with your bare hands.

Oh and they don’t realize, how easy it is for, what they do, to backfire on them. I got zero ten day notices. At least one shit stirrer, got a ten day notice.

The rise of the Shit Stirrers, that’s what this American chapter could be called too. World War 3 may start soon, depends what the master of shit stirring does. Nuclear war, and started by attacking a country without nukes. Republicans aren’t pro life at all, they go in unnecessary wars, and lots of people die, not just soldiers. Bush did the same thing, with the Iraq war, he lied, and went to war anyways.
