Drove through today and saw what looked like a Bremerton city employee putting up a camera. Haven't seen anything like it before. He was unboxing it from a gray case with a city of Bremerton logo sticker on it. It's on its own pole mounted to the utility pole on the corner outside Bucky's. It didn't look like the Flock cameras I've seen photos of. It's much smaller and was set up very high on a telescoping thin pole pointed into the intersection.

Anyone know what this is? Seems like an odd setup considering they could just mount a camera directly to to the utility pole or traffic lights.

Recently my 99 Explorer is intermittently failing to start. It turns over, immediately dies, then won't run at all unless I'm holding the throttle slightly. If I rev it really high, or hold the gas when I start it so it revs up right away then it idles fine and drives fine. If I've been driving it then it doesn't happen again unless I leave it for several hours. I've tried just low idling with the throttle barely down to warm up the engine and that doesn't help so I don't think it's a cold/hot issue. The only thing that fixes it is a powerful rev. There are no codes or anything. I'm really not sure about trim or engine details. This is just a beater that I picked up cheap off a friend.

I want to look up the HP and resistance values for various deployables like beacons.

I've found the Router "item" in the Census API: https://census.daybreakgames.com/get/ps2/item?name.en=Router&c:lang=en&c:join=item_to_weapon^on:item_id^to:item_id

It says the category is "Ability" and the type is "Weapon". I can't get any further than that as I can't find any kind of deployables at all. Only character info, weapons, and vehicles.

Is this available via the API? If not, is this something that can be mined with a tool like dbg-pack?

I've noticed a weird pattern in r/techsupport. Today a post made me want to do some digging and I found a bunch of posts here and in legal advice subs as well. These can't be legitimate accounts but I can't figure out what the end goal of a bot network talking about these specific sites being scams are. The sites are scams targeting people who are insecure and mentally unwell. They're not getting any good advertising out of it since all of these posts simply amount to people claiming their money has been taken.

Two common themes are accounts that have had months or years of inactivity, then come back and make a couple of innocuous comments then immediately start making a bunch of comment

Spoilers for everything below.

I think the performance review was a massive reveal about Milchick's motivations this season. Specifically, that there was no grander plan from up high at Lumon for the things he did. All of the reforms and the ORTBO were 100% Milchick. It's made me recontextualize the entire character and how he may feel about the innies.

We constantly talk about how the innies are basically children, but I haven't seen a ton of discussion about parents. We've seen Cobel be absolutely abusive. Other than the break room, which seemed to have some deeper implications, Milchick seemed much more interested in dispensing perks and acquiescing to MDR's requests.

I've sort of gone

I thought this wasn't a thing. I've previously bought Verizon Pixels and while they say they're Verizon, I've never had any problem installing the Fi app and activating them. I recently bought a used 6a and the Fi app is saying that it cannot be activated, and to contact the previous carrier. Are truly locked down Pixels a thing now?
