If there was another app store, no one is forcing you to use it.

No company can sell or distribute an app without having to use the appstore. Sideloading is restricted by design to not work as a standard installation method

So Apple, who illegally colluded with other tech companies to keep engineering salaries down, should be put in control of hiring processes?

There isn't a lol big enough

“We are constantly reviewing compensation philosophies to better recognize the talent of our highest performers and keep us competitive in the industry, all with the aim of rewarding and investing more in top employees.”

This is execspeak for screwing the majority and only giving their chosen few a decent raise.

Meanwhile Pentax is still avoiding the issue of multiple models dying from cheap apature solonoids.

When you fine some cool tool you can: 1. Use as is. 2. Make behind the scenes changes that don't alter functionality. 3. Make changes that add functionality. 4. Make changes that remove existing functionality.

4 is the problem. It's like joining a car club then keeping pushing to have petrol cars banned. It is really shitty to find a cool tool that you can use, then try to force remove features that existing users use.

I bought a 2nd hand hp i5 to run Blue Iris, poe switch and a couple of dahua cams. The set up was pretty straightforward, there is info on the insanely toxic ipcamtalk site on recommended Blue Iris settings. Basically you need an Intel CPU to support hardware encoding and use less power, and specific setting to save the vids without reencoding.
