lazyeyeon Lessons learned shipping 500 units of my first hardware product

I applaud his initiative for getting this through to production but as soon the market reaches sufficient size he will find multiple Chinese competitors selling an identical product at a fraction of the price. And could well be manufactured in the same factory.

lazyeyeon In 6 violent encounters, evidence contradicts immigration officials' narratives

I dont think you read the original grandparent comment. There absolutely reasons why the chaos is happening now and not under Clinton or Obama.

lazyeyeon South Korea police say 120k home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage

I resolved the problem by temporarily installing a "Fake GPS location" app on my phone and permanently blocking the camera mac address on my router. I can still access the camera remotely using Tailscale. I have a Tailscale node running on a Raspberry Pi on my internal network. It works well.

lazyeyeon “Captain Gains” on Capitol Hill

It would also be interesting to compare overall stock-picking "ability“ across party lines.

Real-estate investing is another corruption vector. One way to bribe a politician is to sell them a house at a million dollar discount. The optics become that the politician is a “savvy real-estate investor".

The solution is to block the camera’s mac address at the router and then access them remotely via Tailscale.

With the Reolink brand you can only install their web cameras via their phone app and only with the GPS turned on and set to "precise“ mode. Seriously, when the GPS was set to “approximate“ it would not allow me to proceed.

Reolink is a Chinese company....

lazyeyeon How do the pros get someone to leave a cult?

Sure just as is the case for the Democrat party and any other sufficiently large political organisation. There are elements of the Democrat party that think it's rational to mutilate children for example. I'm not aware of any MAGA supporters with this level of brain-washing.

lazyeyeon How do the pros get someone to leave a cult?

Either that or you lack the life experience, maturity and wisdom to accept that people can disagree with you without there being a conspiracy involved.
