AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the absence of an Equipment category on the Physics Forum, emphasizing the importance of equipment in physics for monitoring, testing, and calculations. The suggestion includes the need for a dedicated space for hardware, software, operation, supply sources, repair, calibration, and rentals. Additionally, a user seeks advice on how to display time in the format hh:mm:ss:ms for outdoor video monitoring, expressing frustration with the lack of information in product manuals and the unlikelihood of receiving knowledgeable support from customer service. The response notes that not all topics can be covered in the forum, and current discussions on device and detector physics are typically directed to the General Physics forum or relevant physics areas.

I'm surprised we don't have an Equipment category on PF. Much of working with Physics is equipment for monitoring, testing, calculating, etc. Then there's not just the equipment (hardware) but software, operation, source of supply, repair, calibration, rentals, etc. So let me throw that in the suggestion box if I may.

I need to do outdoors video monitoring and display on the screen the time of day in the format hh:mm:ss:ms

There are $149 HD camcorders on Newegg but the owner's manuals don't say squat about this issue. I can't imagine anyone answering the phone in a call center is going to even know what a millisecond is.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can proceed with this endeavor?

Thanks in advance.

We can't have every single "topic" under the sun on this forum. It would be impossible. We can only have a forum topic for something that comes up very often, and has consistently high number of participants. As of now, questions on device/detector physics are posted in either the General Physics forum, or if it related to a measurement in a particular existing areas of physics, it will be posted there.

Zz.
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
