<p>Do I understand the voting / results wrong? Looking at this: <a href="https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/189270" rel="nofollow">https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/189270</a><p>The measure voted on is "Extension [of Chat Control 1.0]", it was voted 36% "for" and 49% "against" (so result is "against"), and looking at "Political groups", majority of EPP MEPs voted "against" (137 out of 164 votes).</p>

<p>I don't have a specific source, no. I think it was mentioned in one of their presentation a few years back, that they use various techniques for "ground truth" for vision training, among those was time series (depth change over time should be continuous etc) and iirc also "external" sources for depth data, like LiDAR. And their validation cars equipped with LiDAR towers are definitely being seen everywhere they are rolling out their Robotaxi services.</p>

<p>That's exactly what Tesla is doing with their validation vehicles, the ones with Lidar towers on top. They establish the "ground truth" from Lidar and use that to train and/or test the vision model. Presumably more "test", since they've most often been seen in Robotaxi service expansion areas shortly before fleet deployment.</p>

<p>I realize that if the authorities target me specifically, there's not much I can do. Even though I am not in the States and do not expect my local police to be quite as... forceful.<p>However, I do not intend to make it easy to just grab my footage along with any other that can be found, without at least asking.</p>

<p>Absolutely, I will be running PoE wherever possible, definitely for the doorbell. Not just because of Amazon drivers, I've read reports of burglars using WiFi jammers to make sure wireless cameras are useless during a break-in.</p>

<p>Yeah, this is my idea as well. Good to know that the Reolink app still works locally and via Wireguard, that means I'll have less UI to set up in HomeAssistant.</p>

<p>Initially I believe so, but they can then be isolated via VLAN / firewall rules and cut off from internet access.</p>

<p>And this is why my setup will be using Reolink cameras integrated locally via HomeAssistant and Frigate. Detection runs locally on cameras and/or in Frigate, HA manages events and UI, and the only way to access any of it remotely is via VPN, no "cloud" anything.<p>If the authorities come knocking with a warrant, or frankly, even a nicely-worded sensible request, sure, have at it. But ain't nobody accessing the footage unnoticed and without my approval.</p>

<p>There is a bunch of videos on Youtube on Zipline, some of them from the company itself (this one showing specifically the "platform": <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=airEzThGlx8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=airEzThGlx8</a>), and some from various tech people looking into the whole thing (like Markus Brownlee: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88yQTzlmsiA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88yQTzlmsiA</a>). Probably a better overall source of into than their website.</p>

<p>Zipline drones fly quite high, and instead of descending and landing to deliver their payload, they hover at altitude and lower a "delivery pod" down on a wire. The pod also has maneuvering capabilities, but all of its thrusters are fully enclosed, and it's designed to not cause any damage even it if collides with something during descent or ascent. Overall, a very clever design that should be safer, create no noise on ground level, and be able to deliver into much smaller and more confined landing zones.</p>

<p>RTO may work as long as your teams are geographically co-located and return to the same office. In my experience, a lot of teams in recent years have been staffed without this aspect in mind, because with remote it made no difference. So now, even with RTO people still have to constantly sit in remote meetings / work rooms with the rest of the team in other office(s), and the benefit of in-person collaboration is still lost. Arguably, this "remote between offices" mode is the worst of them all, because remoting in from the office almost always results in an inferior experience compared to remoting in from a well-tuned home setup.</p>

<p>This is a thing I've been constantly bringing up with our company. I _do_ think that local collaboration in the office is vastly more effective than remotely, _but_ only given that the entire team is co-located.<p>As soon as there are any remote members involved, the local collaboration benefits are lost, and a mixed team becomes less effective than a fully-remote one - because few offices offer the necessary space and equipment for large groups of people to participate in remote / hybrid meetings and work groups effectively (most / almost all existing conference room equipment is complete junk). Unfortunately, fully co-located teams appear to be a thing of the past, and as you say, mandates aren't going to help here.</p>

<p>Pretty nice. How does it handle multiple displays? I've set it up with local Ollama, and it seems to only record and analyze one of my two secondary displays. It would be ideal if I can select which one is used if the recording is limited to a single display, or even better if it can record and analyze the entire multi-monitor desktop surface.<p><i>edit</i> Nvm, it seems it always records the display that is currently in focus. That is probably the better way to handle it, since it automatically solves the "ignore what's shown but not interacted with on secondary displays" problem.</p>

<p>Yes, and the XS was the follow-up to the previous X and thus also the "Pro" model, before they were explicitly named as such. So my move that year was indeed a downgrade. Now I'm kind of worried of doing the same thing again - but spec-wise, the base 17 is really not at all a downgrade from my current 15 Pro, apart from the camera department.</p>
