  • The critical thing you’re going to want to keep in mind for ethernet wiring is getting everything wired back to a central location is key, and spending the extra time and effort to do home runs instead of having multiple junctions can save you a lot of headaches down the line. That being said, you can run more than line at the same time.

    For where to start, deciding where you’re pathing to and how you’re getting there is what you want to focus on. If there’s no existing ethernet, what about existing fiber coming into? Or is there a central block where all the RG59/6 terminates? Even just a nice shelf near the furnace can be fine if the furnace doesn’t cook the room its in. Is there a crawlspace or attic where you can run all the wiring through?

    Getting answers to those questions are where I would start. I would suggest though that retrofitting ethernet wiring is a project that you might be better off waiting on until you’re also doing other work in the space(s), and you can get away with a lot just using low profile cables and tacking them around doorframes apartment-style in the short to medium term until you’re ready to do it all at once and/or need to do related work (like if part of the building’s power lines need to be replaced or you decide to get new flooring or whatever).

    EDIT: Well, my notifications went rogue and said this was a new thread lol. Leaving the above anyway.







  • Only if we let it be. There’s no technical reason why the origin of a video couldn’t have a signature generated by the capture device, or legally requiring AI models to do the same for any content they generate. Anything without an origin sticker is assumed to be garbage by default. Obviously there would need to be some way to make captures either anonymous or not at the user’s choice, and nation states can evade these things with sufficient effort like they always do, but we could cut a lot of slop out by doing some simple stuff like that.
