@kyle_pegasus I apologize for trying to help, sounds like you have it all figured out.

@kyle_pegasus You might find it easier to source an old camcorder with RCA inputs and a FireWire out (Hi8 era Sony’s come to mind) than a PCI capture card. Hauppage made cards (and software), but probably hard to find.

@jerry sadly, we’ve been here before too. The AV vendors have a history of bricking machines with bad dat updates, and firewalls get ips signature updates that cook CPU’s. What’s changed i guess is “everything is connected to the internet” for direct vendor updates, and we’ve outsourced what little checking that used to happen to the vendor for speed & compliance.

@starchy no FDIC for Patelco — they switched to NCUA along with a lot of other CUs awhile back.

@hotdogsladies reduce, reuse, redeemer.

@karlauerbach @SteveBellovin @mattblaze the “I See Dollars Now” side in sales would have readily bought into it. Being on the “It Still Does Nothing” side though, it seems sus :)

@vfrmedia @fraying teslas are still everywhere here (I see incel caminos on the daily) — but the dominance is diminishing a lot, and the new ones with temp tags are almost always white base models. The 500+ new 3s and Y’s gathering dust in the mall parking lot was interesting to see, and says a lot about their current inventory management.

@fraying Even in the ‘land of tesla’ here near the Fremont plant — I’m seeing _tons_ of new Hyundai/VW/Chevy EV’s on the road. New Teslas are mostly overflowing their store parking lots, or taking over the lots of nearby emptied out malls.
