Anyone else catch a whiff of canned pork-product here?-Deozaan (May 13, 2019, 10:47 AM)
GitHub Package Registry provides fast, reliable downloads backed by GitHub’s global CDN. And it supports familiar package management tools: JavaScript (npm), Java (Maven), Ruby (RubyGems), .NET (NuGet), and Docker images, with more to come.
Is this true for anybody else?-Stephen66515 (May 10, 2019, 05:09 PM)
It is for me on DuckDuckGo.-Deozaan (May 10, 2019, 05:14 PM)
Understood... I've heard good things about the Ring devices (that's the one with the 6 month battery IIRC), and they will push the video to/through Alexa or dump it on an onboard SSD.I thought all of the ring devices had to be hooked up to the power line. I'll have to take another look!
We use Ring at our home. The doorbell camera comes in two versions. One uses the doorbell’s transformer power, the other is strictly battery powered.
It works with your existing doorbells and it’s been very reliable. Decent range of user selectable settings. Decent latency for a web type surveillance cam too. Has an optional swarm feature that allows you to receive updates about alerts issued by other Ring users in your area.-40hz (May 09, 2019, 05:10 PM)
All you whiners. Just do it and keep it to yourself. No one really cares.
For instance no one cares that I am sticking with FF.-nickodemos (May 05, 2019, 07:33 PM)
Ghacks is a good site, but a bunch of people in the comments section there tend to be weirdly, toxically negative against all things Mozilla/Firefox.-Nod5 (May 05, 2019, 03:22 AM)
I currently have the Sennheiser RS 185 RF Wireless Headphone System and a Blue Yeti. The headphones are good enough to roam the entire house with the added benefit that I don't have to remember to mute when I walk away as the mic doesn't travel with me. But it's good enough to be heard in my whole office even when I'm at one of my other computers or the whiteboard.-wraith808 (May 03, 2019, 03:34 PM)
Wow, those look very nice! I wish I had $500 to spend on headphones and a microphone.
Maybe I'll go for one of the lower model Blue microphones, such as the Snowball iCE and just use my CozyPhones. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.-Deozaan (May 03, 2019, 04:20 PM)
Technically that's still 2 ports. It's just that the charging cable comes with a mini, 1-port USB hub for the dongle.-Deozaan (May 03, 2019, 03:09 PM)
I also have the Logitech G930 headset. But it frequently disconnects and reconnects, even though the dongle is a mere 2-3 feet away, with an unobstructed line of sight. And every time it does that (which can be every few seconds), it seems to forget that the microphone should be muted while it's in the up position. And the battery has bit the dust, so I'm basically tethered to my desk anyway because it only lasts a minute or two when it's not plugged into the charging cable. And, like mouser said, the pleather earphone covers have been disintegrating for the past couple of years, covering the area around my ears, and my clothes and chair, in tiny black flakes.-Deozaan (May 03, 2019, 03:09 PM)
