You can call me sentimental, but 1996-1999 were the golden age of new gaming IP. Most of games are sequels to franchises created in those few years. Like Fallout, GTA, Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Baldurs Gate, Smash, Quake, and many more.

It was a privilege to live as a teenager then.

So long ago, that might have memory corrupted.

True, kcd2 was awesome. Let’s hope the collapse of AAA just means better indie and small studio games

Yeah, you are correct. Dead of big studios is not probably that bad.

I have steam account from CS 1.0 (can legally buy beer), and hundreds of games. I still say that gaming is dead, especially AAA gaming. This year has been quite shit compared to previous one’s and it has been a trend for years. Indie and small studios are the way forward.

To be fare, you can open PDF in Word and it converts it to editable docx

The problem is that it can only be speculated how they work, because they have not published it. That is quite suspicious in my book.

I personally would avoid reolink and use rtsp + frigate + ha, to have full control with known open source selfhosting solution.

I understand that people like the easy setup, but if you already do selfhosting, it isn’t that big jump.

Be careful with reolink, their P2P solution is pretty suspicious. No body really knows how it works and who it shares the data with.

You can disable those features, but it will stop reolink app from working.

They have never explained how the peer-2-peer network works, and it security and privacy is quite unknown.

Reolink is Chinese, which doesn’t really help these concerns.

Better to selfhost frigate and just rtsp cameras there.

Isn’t that already cleared in hearings, “I did not have sex with that woman”, BJ is not sex /s

I was working on a project that had 100 000 line oracle database PL/SQL procedure that ordered a work order from subcontractor. It was just one single function. That was called by classic asp + visual basic COM component.

Oh Lord, I get Vietnam flashbacks about it.

In most European countries you get 2-3 paid leave days each month, so it almost happens here that week could be considered four working days.

More in detail from Finland the law says that everyone must use two weeks from those in one go, once a year. Commonly people take four weeks summer and one week on winter.

Also when you are on vacation, you get 1.5x the salary for that month. It is called “returning from holiday money” (lomaltapaluuraha). It ensures that you want to go back to working after being free for a moment :). That is not in law, but every union has that written in the general working contract. All work places are unionized here.

And don’t confuse sick days to paid leave. If you are sick those never use vacation days. If you get sick on vacation, it doesn’t use your vacation days, because you are then on sick leave.
