  • I as well use a Anker powerconf camera and it’s fantastic… But you will need a windows machine if you want to modify firmware settings on it as their control app runs in windows. It does seem that once you modify those settings they are persistent within the hardware itself though and once you move it back to the Linux machine it should all be preserved.

    Of course it’s possible someone has already closed that gap out already or maybe the app runs in wine.






  • Lol, well that narrative appears to have taken a deep turn away from reality.

    You guys do understand that from the middle the insane propaganda of the right is nearly indistinguishable from the stuff coming from the left, right?

    Plenty of elections have been contested… There is no evidence that I’ve seen of an attempt towards a coup d’etat.

    I don’t like the guy either but holy crap… I mean a good chunk of his military administration didn’t even necessarily like the guy. I know General Goldfein personally, he wouldn’t have allowed Trump to stage a coup… That man was and is about as honorable a general as one could ask for.

    You can oppose Trump and also not fall for media sensationalism, I promise you will be okay.

    I think it’s possible you may be young enough that you don’t know or remember the controversy surrounding Reagan, or Bush, or Clinton, or Bush again. I mean Reagan was so controversial that people tried to assassinate him and there media was reporting he was mentally unfit in his second term. Reaganomics was incredibly controversial and Democrats in that day treated it almost the same way that the Republicans today are treating Bidenomics.

    Trust me in the grand scheme of American politics Trump isn’t wildly unique. I offer those words to everyone not in his defense, because fuck that guy, but in hopes of inspiring a little more calm in the world because it ain’t healthy for any of us to be this outraged all the time. All it does is just make us all more vulnerable to being manipulated.







  • It's like you guys are just learning that war is terrible…

    People die in wars. Combatants, non-combatants, men, women, children, bystanders, supporters, journalists, doctors, criminals, religious people, atheists.

    We don't want war… It's bad.

    So if you don't want war, you should conduct massive brutal attacks on civilian populations… Because that's how you get war.

    HAMAS did this… They hold their own women and children at gun point inside of buildings they know Israel is about to strike to maximize the propaganda value out of the strike. The Arab nations refuse to allow Palestinian refugees to enter their countries in order to get them out of the conflict areas. Iran has purposefully financed HAMAS in order to allow it to disrupt the Palestinian Government and prevent any real opportunities for real sustainable peace. HAMAS build hospitals and schools with Iranian money… not to provide for the Palestinian people but to ensure they can wrap themselves in human body armor as they build caches and facilitation networks which is 100% in violation of international law and is not just criminal but utterly despicable.

    Meanwhile these groups and countries have never been shy at announcing that their only stated goal is the genocidal ethnic cleansing of Israelis and the destruction of the state of Israel.

    Who would have thought that all those years ago when Jordan and Egypt decided to take military action against a displaced refugee encampment all of those years ago that we would be at this point.

    Or when they did it the second time…

    Or the third time…

    It's unreal that Egypt and Jordan just abandoned their own people in Israel and refuse to allow them to return to the nations they were originally citizens.

  • What exactly is your point then? You think that HAMAS should be allowed to get away with their crimes because by fighting them it would create a second wave?

    I'm sorry but not good enough. HAMAS teaches Palestinian children that their greatest achievements in life is to sacrifice themselves in the great jihad. They wrap children in suicide vests and march them around on TV.

    Destroying HAMAS is protecting Palestinians. Collateral loss of life is a tragic cost of war… But the mission here is clear… destroy HAMAS, do not let them flee to their rat holes. HAMAS will always attempt to maximize civilian casualties. When will they release the hostages they are holding? These aren't prisoners of war… They are civilians, non combatants… Why don't we just start with HAMAS releases the innocent people they have taken hostage?


  • How did ISIS seize it in 2014 if it was all destroyed?

    And why are people still dying when they walk anywhere near it?

    True it's not in production but no one is destroying the chemical weapons stored there, frankly it's because they are so incredibly dangerous and in poor condition that they cannot be safely handled. The weapons are still there though, all of the various nerve and blister agents and all of their precursory materials.

    It's bizarre you are so smart but don't really know what you are talking about. I know it's incredibly difficult to find truth in our media right now (and frankly it doesn't even matter what political persuasion you subscribe to… They are all full of shit). But still you are buying the narrative hard.

    But you should at least take account of first hand knowledge. I was boots on ground in Iraq through the most violent and dangerous times. No we shouldn't have been there, but it's not like the lies about WMDs were farfetched… Saddam had stockpiles of chemical weapons and had already produced proven warheads to deliver chemical weapons on various platforms including their infamous SCUD platform.
