They also have a focus detect mode which shows high contrasting edges.
There is also a LED on the top of each which can be activated by another panel
This stuff is designed for live video production. Really need and super compact design!

One of the weirdest pickups for my collection now:
3x professional studio monitors that fit in a 2U space!
Each have their own HDMI input.
Conveniently, I already had a 8x8 HDMI matrix sitting right below where I wanted it ;)
This rack is starting to really kick some serious ass!

The Goya Studios games keep track of completion times. I generally use these to gauge personal difficulty with a puzzle, compared to their rated difficulty.

Two weeks ago, I owned no Ubiquiti hardware at all.
Am I doing it right...?
Oh, and this is only at one location I manage, I still have two more, one of which is fully stocked up as well with the other being ordered here this week :P
My wallet HURTS!

These restaurants are very much the local community just as equally as any business worker or resident.
So yeah, the layoffs hurt everyone, even non Amazon workers.
FUCK GREED

Did some wire cleanup on my Telco rack this evening.
Currently setup for 48x POTS lines, 8x T1/E1 lines, and 16x dialup modems.
Yes, all of that, wired up, and pictured here to a single patch panel!!

These "two cables" turn out to be 24 total fibers!
For comparison, 12-fiber MTP/MPO cable vs 2-fiber cable.
I needed a lot of high-bandwidth networking in one place not near the networking core, and didn't want another switch there anymore.
This is a GREAT solution!

Fish Tape / Wire Pulls
One of the greatest invention in history !?!? I sure think so!
Adding "two" more wires from my core network in the storage unit down to my entertainment center... for "reason"... ;)

So fresh and so clean!!
Look at the brand new flooring just installed this week over at @pinkgorillagames.com by UW.
I'm hardly ever over at this location, but am a weekly regular at the other two.
But special times calls for a special visit ;)

This performance still boggles my mind!
Triple Intel Optane drives in a RAID-Z1 configuration, dual 10gbe NICs, with the CPU and RAM to back it all up... in a freaggin ROUTER.
3 second "zpool scrub" times. I could run these hourly instead of daily, and still not notice any performance hit at all.

In case you were wondering the state of affairs right now...
Just trying to purchase an early production run of a new NIC not released here in the USA yet.

Right to Repair is absolutely VITAL!!
My Apple MacBook Air M1 for the second time now had a USB port fail on it.
So I opened it up, gave the port a deep cleaning, and it's acting good as new now.
And thanks to iFixIt (NOT SPONSORED) for having the exact tools needed all in one kit!

One of the joys of running my own internal television broadcast network: I get to pick my own TV channel numbers! :D

"Same" power supply (I gutted it and merged components from several together for a better/more stable one)
And cable management? Built custom power delivery PCBs that also do some of the data too.
