    Neat, thanks!

    I’m not thrilled about the camera quality (compared to a purpose-built surveillance cam with 4k and good low-light performance) and I wish it had PoE, but damn, can’t beat that price!

    (Side note: does anybody else find it weird that PoE is so uncommon and/or adds so much to the cost of these IoT dev boards? I get that normal people don’t want the hassle of running cable, but it feels like the hole in the market is bigger than it should be.)










  • Thanks for the thread. I’ve been noticing those accounts and have been trying to figure out what action I should take as a mod.

    What’s really fucked up about it is that the content is actually pretty coherent and on-topic, and it seems clear that at least some of the comments are human – like it’s more “tool-assisted” than fully “bot.” So it feels like it’s almost valuable but also kinda ‘cheating,’ which (from a mod perspective) makes it hard to decide what to do about it.


    What I’d really like to know is what techniques these accounts are using and what they’re actually up to. The other day I gave one a warning and demanded an explanation, but I only got an angry reply and then the account was nuked by an admin before I had the chance to do anything else.









  • Because the upthread commenter’s definition is bad. It’s more of a social class/racial discrimination thing, with the stereotypical example being about how black people speak differently in a social context among themselves than they do in a professional context with their white boss. (Note that I’m not endorsing the racist implications; I’m explaining what the code-switching is in response to.) I’m not talking about other languages, either; I’m talking about differences in things like word choice and level of grammatical formality that could, at most, be seen as a different dialect of English.

    Being just straight-up bilingual and using different languages in different contexts could maybe be code-switching if there’s an element of social hierarchy involved, but in general is not that.
