JCreazy,

I worked retail for a decade and we would get checks time to time. Mostly always the elderly.

JCreazy,

I’m going to steal this okay?

Can anyone recommend a wireless doorbell that works with home assistant?

I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I’d also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.

JCreazy,

I suppose I forgot to mention that I would like a video doorbell

JCreazy,

I’m all too familiar with spending countless hours trying to get things to work so that shouldn’t be a problem.

JCreazy,

No I just mean Wi-Fi. I do have existing doorbell wires that I can hook up to it for power. I’d probably prefer not having a battery just so I don’t have to worry about charging it ever.

JCreazy,

Yes, the amount of showings that a theater has is tracked. Certain movies are contractually obligated to show at certain times or a certain number of times a day.

JCreazy,

Someone working in a movie theater could just take the file and send it to other movie theaters and then they can play the movie whenever they want without paying the distributor. They could also just upload it onto the internet so anyone can watch it. It’s essentially to keep theater operators honest.

JCreazy,

Yes I’m aware but if the DRM wasn’t there it would certainly be easier

JCreazy, (edited )

While this certainly may be possible, I don’t think it’s tracked to that degree. Theaters pay to lease a film and the studio decides if there are special rules for being shown. Some smaller known movies have deals with the theaters to show the film at a very low cost in order to get people to watch it. On the first weekend most of the ticket profit goes to the studios and then every week the profit to the studios gets lower and the theaters get more of that money depending on what was agreed on. Some movies like the Taylor Swift concert film could only be shown after 12:00 p.m. and only Thursday through Sunday for example. Say there was a busy night and we sold out of a show, we could cancel a different show and play that sold out movie in another auditorium to fit more people in. This is fine for most studios except for Disney, if Disney finds out that you cancel one of their films to show a different film, they will not be happy. As far as I know we can show movies and definitely as long as we have the keys active for them and I don’t think the specific amount of time is reported back to the studios, we are just required to play it a minimum amount of times.

JCreazy,

I guess if someone really wanted to they could even with the DRM but the DRM just makes it more difficult.

JCreazy,

35mm was a whole thing and while I miss the nostalgia, I certainly don’t miss the upkeep and the problems with film. Digital is so much easier. I feel the biggest issue with digital is if a problem goes wrong, there’s really not much you can do outside of standard problem fixes. If it’s an internal issue. You’re just screwed until the technician can fix it.

JCreazy,

Thursday nights were an event for sure. Building up new movies, breaking down the old ones.

JCreazy,

Yes, I deal with KDMs weekly but I’m not for sure if this issue was KDM related or if it was certificate related. As for the service destroying themselves, I’ve never personally seen it happen, but I’ve been told by upper management that they’ve seen it happen twice. I don’t really have any way to verify the information but it wouldn’t surprise me and I don’t see why anyone would make that up unless they really don’t want people messing with it, but it seems like such an unlikely scenario.

JCreazy,

Mom, just can’t wait to thank you later for the great time your parents had with their friends

JCreazy,

I mean, you doesn’t?

JCreazy,

I never recall saying that my use case was everybody’s use case. I was just stating that sometimes things like this are fine for some people like myself. People like me are in the minority yet you made the assumption I was speaking for everyone. Options are always better. I wish the modular phone came to be.

JCreazy,

Unfortunate that society punishes those that can do things that a lot of people don’t understand

JCreazy,

I don’t know how other people see it but the way I see it is if a company makes as much money as Verizon does then there is no excuse for this to happen. They have more than enough money to prevent this from happening tenfold but instead of investing money into the company CEOs get paid. With that being said, I believe that if there are any issues in a company, the CEO should be a 100% responsible. If they are going to get paid more money than anyone else than they should be doing more work than anyone else and if bad things are happening below them. That means they’re not doing their due diligence.

JCreazy,

JCreazy,

Isn’t the weather channel just mostly ads now?

JCreazy,

The better option

JCreazy,

All my Wi-Fi just works on any machine I have Linux on. But yeah years ago this was not the case.

JCreazy,

The only apps are really care about are the ones that were created before or during the great redded debacle. Anything coming out months later, especially ones that charge money. Yeah no. You weren’t here when this began. You’re just coming in after everything’s already been cleaned up. No I’m not saying that people shouldn’t develop apps. They can do that if they want but there’s really no reason to switch when something is already working and it’s been working fine for months.

JCreazy,

Now it is inedible
