Not op but in my case I’ve seen huge differences between USB cards and high quality cards. 20 years ago I used to use bt878 capture cards. A few years ago I bought a Viewcast Osprey on eBay.

In particular I use a svhs tape player with built in time base corrector. The reason for svhs is because the hardware supports actual svhs output. Vhs tapes are store with luminous and chroma as separate signals. With regular composite output, that data is mixed into one signal. This causes interference patterns like dot crawl and color fringing.

The other big advantage over USB dongles is all the ones I’ve seen don’t let you capture the raw data- it’s pre compressed with lossy like mjpeg or mpeg which is another huge quality drop because you’ll usually want to post process the video with avisynth before compressing it to mpeg4.

My target is for the captured video to look just as good as it originally did on a VHS player on a crt. So the interlaced to progressive conversion is always tricky. I don’t personally do it but one trick to keep resolution is to capture at 60fps and play each 30i field doubled. That way no detail is lost in the source and it uses your eyes to motion blur the fields together.

The bot must be upvoting itself because yet again it listed a bunch of random abbreviations that aren’t in the thread at all.

Someone claimed it’s not ai slop but a bot with GitHub code but that code doesn’t produce this result.

I have no idea what you are using to browse Lemmy because the only notification I get is a number next to my profile icon in web browser or Thunder. And that’s often delayed by several days so I frequently look through my own old posts to find replies because don’t get reliable notifications.

It was on YouTube like 6 years ago. I did it 4 years ago and they’ve been running great.

You need to get a lifepo4 that has a lead acid drop in BMS.

Lifepo4 charges at 14.2. So it’s not only safe, but it means the lifepo4 is undercharged which dramatically increases its lifespan at the cost of runtime.

I’ve done it successfully for two Tripplite 1500va and two APC 750va UPS’s. They’ve been running for over 4 years now.

I bought a lifepo4 that specifically said it had a lead acid drop in replacement BMS (battery management system).

The only problem I have had was when I had a two day power outage. After running to complete drain ( and they lasted over 2x longer than my older lead acid), the Trupplites wouldn’t charge up after power was restored. I had to pull the batteries and charge them outside the ups to get everything working again.

Under normal use they have worked great.

Lifepo4 works fantastic as a drop in because the peak charge of lead acid is only 80% charge of lifepo4. This means that while you don’t get full capacity out of the lifepo4, it never fully charges which dramatically increases the lifepo4 lifespan.

Isn’t it a huge delay to swap out to a different ~30b model every few minutes depending on the use case?

What local model are you using?

You are both correct That certainly was considered AI.

Notice my use of past tense as well as Zeoic use of past tense. I said chess was AI as you stated. Zeoic denied that chess was ever AI.

" the term ‘artificial intelligence’ was coined by John McCarthy in the proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference [4] . In its beginning, Computer Chess was called the Drosophila of Artificial Intelligence. "

Expert Systems:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_system "In artificial intelligence (AI), an expert system is a computer system emulating the decision-making ability of a human expert.[1] "

Lisp is a language USED for AI research, that doesn’t make it AI itself. “Lisp was an AI language.”

I didn’t say Lisp was AI. I said it was a language used for AI.

Chess programs were AI. Expert systems which were regular logic were AI. Lisp was an AI language. Chat bots were AI.

This is a bot which makes it a type of AI and it’s really inaccurate.

Detection is completely broken because it finds terms that aren’t anywhere in the thread, even as substrings.

Why was this upvoted? It’s AI slop giving definitions for acronyms that aren’t in this thread and not even related to backups.

You think they didn’t pay marketing consultants millions for that logo?

First off, that’s software when the user asked for an alternative to the Pixel, which is hardware.

Secondly, I don’t see how those are an alternative. It’s websites locking you out unless you run Google Play Services. LineageOS etc doesn’t run the official PlayServices which is what this requires.

I love Red Dwarf sooo much but I believe that was from the episode Back to Earth from 2008 and and was parodying Blade Runner from 1982 as well as CSI from 2000.

If you are a privacy advocate and driving a Tesla, you are a grifter.

This isn’t, “You can’t criticize capitalism while being in a capitalistic system.”

Tesla is one product among hundreds of consumer choices. They are choosing to drive around with the equivalent of 9 Ring and Flock cameras taped to themselves.

I’ll try an analogy to explain better. The firewall is a lock on the door to your house. Vlans are a rule that to go from one room to another, you must go back out the locked door and back in.

So an attacker tries to come in and can’t pick the lock. You are safe.

Another attacker can pick the lock and get into a room. But if they can pick the lock for one room, they can pick the same lock again and get into any other rooms because it’s the same lock protecting every room in the house.

if you allowed that to happen you either did not set firewall rules strict enough

The argument was that the vlans force a device through the firewall so that the firewall can protect it. But for that to happen, like you said the firewall wasn’t strick enough or didn’t have a defense against a 0 day.

So the vlan doesn’t do anything either way. Either the firewall works in which case you don’t need vlans to force local traffic through them a second time or they don’t work in which case again the vlan did nothing.

To compromise a device on a vlan it had to get through the firewall. If your firewall couldn’t stop it then it can attack any other device by going through the firewall because again the firewall didn’t stop the device from being compromised in the first place.
