I’m not sure it matters if it’s legal or not anymore these days.
Still, they can legally demand any recordings from you if they reasonably can know that such recordings exist. Generally they will need a warrant or they may subpoena you for the evidence that they know you have. You can even be arrested for erasing your own footage as destruction of evidence.
Obligatory statement that I am not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice.
The king could retaliate against Microsoft in particular if they do. He’s above the law.
Unless you’re self hosting your own cameras, just don’t. If you don’t control the data then it’s somebody else’s camera.
I’m deeply proud of Python for standing by its community and making the right decision.
Inflation. Pixels cost less back then.
The h265 hardware support is a lot less exciting than you might think. Most hardware that has support to encode it doesn't even use the hardware encoders anyway because a software encoder produces a significantly better result. I would make sure you have CPU power to handle your transcoding, and I haven't has any issues transcoding that resolution on my quite old Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590T CPU @ 2.00GHz.
A Raspi is probably not going to be enough for reliable video transcoding at high resolutions, but I haven't tried it myself. You certainly have more upgrade path options with a mini-PC while still keeping a low power target.
I agree that distro is not very important if you're running your services in Docker containers anyway. It's mostly whatever you find comfortable. My personal recommendation is don't get too creative unless you enjoy setting up servers. I tend to be conservative in my server OSs.
This doesn't usually end well for the simp nerd.
It might be a bubble, but bubbles can last a long time. Here are some famous quotes to illustrate the problem:
“Markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent." -- A. Gary Shilling, twice named Wall Street’s top economist.
"Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves." -- Peter Lynch, American investor, mutual fund manager, author and philanthropist.
We know evaluations are high. We know that AI has not delivered on its promises at least not yet. Investor confidence remains high, but for how long? Nobody knows.
Personally, I think any correction will swiftly bounce because the government will print money to make sure there's a speedy recovery. We have seen a push to boosting the economy through intensive money printing instead of allowing valuations to crash properly. The Fed loves to kick the can down the road more than anything.
In the US, the left mirror doesn't usually have this effect.
I believe they're legally forbidden from striking and have to be careful it isn't seen as such.
Ruling class: Come on, they're peasants! It's not like they make money anyways.
Amazing. An app decides if a human being goes to the camps. What a time to be alive.
