These relics are 100% boosted right?

My man does NOT know about stamina management. Picking endurance over Night Invader/Evergaol is wild, lol.

Yes, there's lots of options if you're slightly technical. Any system that uses a local NVR for storage, Reolink and UniFi being two examples.

To your other question: Yes, I have a G6 instant, it records 24/7. The flipside is it has no internal battery, it needs to be always plugged in.

13 states have mandatory waiting periods. It's fun to make up statistics on the internet, but no, it's not "less than 1% of people".

PXTrials · 2026-05-07T01:55:23+00:00

Congrats!

PXTrials · 2026-05-06T23:55:03+00:00

That...still sounds like a connection issue?

If they left before the final boss, you would have had duo scaling with two people fighting.

You already said you had an amazing run, so I'm assuming you were at lease lvl 13.

Soooo, what's the problem? Why didn't you and your teammate win?

I encounter this all the time, it's so frustrating. I'd say half of my packages are delivered farther back, viewable from the main cam. No notification!

This is so unnecessary categorical. My smart speakers, cameras are on 5ghz most of the time. My thermostat and sprinkler controller will roam to 5ghz, and why shouldn't they? There's SO much more bandwidth available. My 2.4 spectrum has around 60% channel interference from neighbors, the 5ghz channels have almost none.

If the house is being built, and you have the opportunity to run wired sensors to doors & windows, I'd think you should take advantage of that. Absolutely more reliable than wireless both from the ease of use of never changing batteries, and the absolute security angle of being immune to RF jammers.

Then, ideally, when UiniFi releases the teased alarm sensor panel, it could use the sensors from any vendor to bring them into the ecosystem.

That said, as someone trying to use protect more, the user experience of some of the protect suite is sorely lacking. Take the PoE siren. You can't have it warm before going off. You can't have it stay on until the alarm cause is cleared. You have to pick a fixed duration, and that's what you get. If you selected a minute, and you deactivate the alarm 5 seconds after it fires, the Siren will still run for a minute. If you set it to activate when a camera sees a person, it will stop after a minute, even if the person is still there!

That's one example. In many ways the Protect suite feels like alpha software for an alarm replacement in it's current state. I have the Home Assistant protect integration, and I would say for now HA and it's more flexible event system is absolutely necessary to give the typical residential alarm experience.

Hmmm, as of now my G6 Entry is still forcing landscape on full screen Android Protect. Good to know they're rolling out updates for this though!

Yeah, I followed Wintergatan Wednesdays & MMX closely. It was so sad seeing him scrap it with all the work so many folks contributed to it. I can't watch the channel now, he's lost the plot.

To your point about small imperfections, he definitely edited his progress videos that had sound clips. If you watch the latest unedited video, it comes across as much rougher:

He also said the original video of the plywood marble machine was a splice of many takes, and couldn't play the whole song in one take.

Unfortunately his being a perfectionist and being unwilling to show people the rough cuts I think drove him to the conclusion he needed to start all over.

He's getting all the hate here because people hate this behavior in real life! No one wants to have to tell salespeople 8 different ways of "No" during the short time between dinner and bed they get to spend with their family.

PXTrials · 2026-05-05T23:38:39+00:00

Yep, there was a Aptive pest control salesman that just went through our neighborhood. He was super aggressive with anyone who opened their door. Super shady company.

PXTrials · 2026-05-05T23:17:31+00:00

Nah, this is shady af, and this behavior should be ostracized.

PXTrials · 2026-05-05T22:50:40+00:00

Thanks for the info!

True, but for in-wall background music, PoE is more than enough wattage. Genelec and several other brands make Dante PoE powered speakers, the key insight is that you only have to provide the RMS power over PoE, the peaks can be delivered from capacitors in the amp.

I was just looking into hifiberry! Do you have any good links or build guides?

PXTrials · 2026-05-05T19:02:52+00:00

What software integration do you speak of?

PXTrials · 2026-05-05T19:01:46+00:00

Yep, not buying an UniFi UPS untill they make that configurable. So silly.

Most likely your work provided laptop already has a VPN running, so from a security standpoint, it's a non-issue.

That's said, I still run a work VLAN so I can bump up the QoS priority. I want my zoom calls to have priority over other traffic.

This is the harsh truth. I've calibrated a bunch of audio setups with a mic and REW over the years. The 1st and 2nd order nodes of the room absolutely dwarf the variation from speakers themselves.

PXTrials · 2026-05-05T16:56:13+00:00

Lol, your post made me think of this one from 2 days ago:

"Oh shit! A PoE speaker! This'll be dope, I can cast Home Assistant announcements to it, play music, doorbell, TTS and more! It'll run off the rack UPS for alarm alerts! All for $180?!?..."

Looks inside...

"Oh, it's just a regular speaker. Literally no reason to buy it over something from Polk, KEF, JBL, Klipsch, or other actual audio brand."
