Another new project to consider. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Amcrest is a new one to me. I'll check them out.

Amcrest is a new one for me. Doing more research, but thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a hard time trusting a company that appears to try to hide its country of origin. And I'm not interested in anything made by a Chinese company.

I'm not interested, for numerous reasons, in anything produced by or in China.

I really like the concept of PoE cameras for the same reasons. Given where they'll be installed, I'd rather only climb onto the roof or into attic crawlspaces once. :)

I don't entirely disagree, and you may be right about the financial union. I've also downvoted this post because I think it's a waste of space that no one should waste time on -- unless they need even more convincing that Axel Springer is garbage. I was originally surprised at such a biased piece from Politico, largely because I forgot that they were sold out to Axel Springer.

Culture resists change. That's its role. And it's all but impossible to force lasting change in a particular direction (see former Soviet republics, for example). If there's no societal benefit to a change, it won't happen.

It also has downvotes. And as @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca says, this isn’t Reddit. Up- and down-votes are not a popularity contest.

Editorializing alone was enough to put me off this article. Finding that it’s essentially a scolding to be more like American-style laissez-faire capitalists, who’ve managed to eliminate workers’ rights and pensions so that most have no choice except to gamble on the stock market for retirement income, was nauseating.

Exactly my reaction
