The USA

It's becoming fast a fascist state. So for one , the USA,.

They have been supporting apartheid and the treatment of Palestinians under Israel's boots

Plus they send them money for weapons to use against the Palestinians.

Re: "artists such as Frank Sinatra .." etc

Won't get into politics i assure you but in the USA at the moment good common sense is out the door.

They do not want to build at the moment , they want to destroy and go back in time, even basic human rights are thrown under the bus.

What happens with 78's ( which are worthless ) is simply just one niore cheap way to destroy an important work and site.

Destroy , destroy .. that's all the goddamn record labels and lawyers are ever good for.

Find me something good they done in the last .. 50 years .. just one ..

With such images stuck for weeks in my head i stopped to follow anything on the net.

I come here .. few other good adresses , but following " social media " ? got to be kidding me,

Re: WTF

heat is heat , the planet's a closed system. heating the oceans is no better and perhaps nastier than heating the air. remember that the sea harbors all kinds of life , mammals , fish etc and they're relying on normal water temperatures ( regional ) to survive. Heating it is not a good idea.

Re: not going to help the automakers

take it one step further .. why do we need those old tech parts ?

because the auto mfg's want to keep an old design and not go through the process of redesigning their products. this is a self inflicted wound. they CAN do it but won't . That is what you get when decisions are made behind an accountant's desk and not an engineer's desk.

I have 0 pity for the car mfg's at all. Adapt and evolve or die. Their choice.

Dear Europe, here again are the reasons why scanning devices for unlawful files is not going to fly

And then there's the law enforcement side.

They got a surveillance centre here in Canada , Quebec in particular where they track the images , the material , they know how has it , they know what's being exchanged they know this for not only local material but who it's exchanged with worldwide.

The net is there.

Asked why so few were ever arrested the answer was simple : they do not have enough resources to act but on a fraction of a percentage point

of all the known cases.

You can have all the tools you want , if there's noone to use them , use them to enforce the laws they are utterly useless.

Political pressure and changing governments may help but for today thousands are exchanging the material and exploiting children.

This has got to change.

Established brands.

If you absolutely want home automation and cams and controlling the home from the phone , lights , shades , whatever .. you can always go to the well established vendors like Crestron and AMX which have been in business for decades. I don't know how many systems i installed / programmed and the companies are reliable . You can do anything you want , go cheap if you want , but in the long run it pays to get good grade material from well established vendors. Gadgets will remain gadgets .. but real control systems are established technology and will give you decades of service. Buy a good one so you don't have to buy over and over again. I'm no longer in the business , im retired , so i got nothing to sell .. just good advice from an experienced man :)
