I would say that parlor was created to get away from big tech options and yet Apple, Amazon and Google were overreaching and IMO attacking the platform.

Are you implying the ban was warranted at any point in time?

This is perfectly legal in most of the US.

Famous people and their paparazzi followers probably know all too well that when you are anywhere an eye can see from a public location you can be recorded.

In the solar industry, lenders will cut off a contractor pretty quick if there are any issues. The amount of due diligence done by the lender is a pretty solid guarantee to the customer.

Our dealer fees are between 21-30% of the total loan, but the term is usually 20-25 years long.

In the US, I was in a government office a few days ago because I was told that if instead of uploaded documents via a website and waiting 10-45 days to have them reviewed I could go into a local office and provide these documents and they would review them on-site.

So I set off on a 35 minute drive to the local office.

While the wait times were shorter in the physical building I had to chuckle when I thought they were just collecting documents and uploading them to the same online portal I was warned would take a fair bit of time, but that I needed to allow a few more days past the 45 day limit because they fax them into the same remote place periodically. Their email system for the document collecting office does not allow email attachment of documents.

My other option, I kid you not, was to used their "house" cell phone and login to sensitive accounts, bank ect. And screenshot the information and use the same web-form to upload said documents.

Oh, and covid, I could not touch the "house" cellphone but he would wanted me to write my logins in a piece of scratch paper and he could navigate for me based on my direction.

With little to no repercussions financially to the department or employee and no major career punishments, what do you propose instead?

If your cameras are IP and not coax you can just run a NVR locally. If they are coax then another dvr would work. Blue Iris is great for home use as a windows NVR server.

I can't recommend them anymore. Hikvision cameras with a Synology NAS is far better in every way.

Ubiquiti cameras are way overpriced. The NVR has no real advanced functions. And their small indoor cameras are wifi only but require POE to power up. Everytime a power interrupt happens the wifi cams don't reconnect and start broadcasting their setup ssid and have to be manually reconnected. Their awesome tech support has turned into absolute garbage and can have hours long queues to only have an inexperienced person tell you they will follow up with an email. I was once a fan, but now will not install anymore of their equipment.

I was excited to bring my new fountain pen with me, on a job, outside in 105 degree weather. It was a cartridge and somehow ended up covering my head and face.

I have some multi-tenant PBXs based on Freeswitch however, I have not seen a positional audio feature in Freeswitch. Can you give more insight? Your link is the conference module and unrelated I believe.
