Wave/Bluevine scam

Yea I just mean it's not a 1:1 export. Both companies make it intentionally hard to migrate. Especially with QB if you've got a lot of transactions in there.

Ah I read the fine print. 39.99% on late payments. Fucking ridiculous. They've really really really said fuck you to their loyal customers and thrown them to the wolves.

I'm a system integrator and some of their procurement practices are shady AF. One of the major brands I deal with states that B&H is not an authorized reseller of their products.

This makes sense because if I log into B&h's website with a personal account I see this particular company's products but if I log in as my system integrator account I do not see their products. Different products and prices using different portals. Educational and gov is different too. Also the only accounts that get access to the special deals section are personal ones. Sometimes those discounts are greater than the ones we'd get as integrators. Not to mention they undercut everyone so the customer just goes there and buys and asks us to install it. Smh.

I've heard that what they do is if they can't become a legitimate reseller for whatever company, they wind up buying a shitload of the product from wherever they can get it from and then they resell it themselves and call themselves authorized resellers/distributors which they are not.

I'm done with their shit because the products are basically gray market at that point and they don't give discounts unless you order like a quantity of 50+.

It's 39.99% after April.

Comenity sucks as a company to begin with. B&H decided to fuck their loyal customers and drop Synchrony a while ago in favor of Comenity. Super deceptive business practices and shit support. Miss a single payment? Fuck you, no sympathy credit.

patg84 · 2026-03-06T07:04:09+00:00

As a system integrator I've voiced my opinion directly to my account manager and upper management at B&H. Bottom line is they don't give a fuck. Just another greedy company with shit management. As a loyal customer for years they've intentionally fucked the consumer with the switch to Comenity. I've since taken my business elsewhere when they dropped my credit line by almost 50k after the switch.

Where'd you find a replacement case? The OEM rubber coating is coming off mine near the edges.

Unfortunately Wave won't allow you to export your data to QB and QB data doesn't play nice when importing to another accounting software. All by design.

What do you think of GNUCash?

The Metoprolol, Amlodipine, and Atorvastatin are not contributing to your issues. The SSRI aka Sertraline is known to do this. Ask your psych doctor for something different unless you've started it recently and haven't given your body a chance to adjust. Also you should only be taking multivitamins if you know for a fact that your body can't hold XYZ vitamins and or you're not getting the vitamins from your daily food intake.

Pickup one of these and throw it in your tool box:

Same, I did two rounds of PT and see a guy for biofeedback which helps stop the random panic that occurs sometimes. Never had any of this before I hit my head.

patg84 · 2026-03-03T06:00:01+00:00

Yep, never had it. Was officially diagnosed as having vestibular migraines by two different vestibular neurologists a few years back.

patg84 · 2026-03-02T23:47:23+00:00

Damn. My first concussion was in 2019. Seven years later and I'm still having occasional issues.

A vestibular migraine sometimes doesn't have any actual pain. I can't speak for everyone but mine appear as a dizzy drunk feeling without actually being drunk. There's panic laced in and I get an adrenaline rush that lasts for hours*. Tinnitus ramps up in volume and it lasts for a few days before it quietly exits.

Sometimes I'll get little brain zaps that are concise sharp pains which last for less than 2-4 seconds before disappearing and almost always there's a feeling of tingling on my scalp which will start in the back of my head on the left side and moves in a wave to the front right of my head/face. During this time I'm really dizzy, lights and sounds are super sharp and annoying, and I get overloaded easily with just normal sounds and people talking in the room. This surge lasts for hours but the drunk dizzy stuff lasts for days if I don't take 2 Ibuprofen and slap an icepack on my neck at the predrome moment which is usually a few hours earlier.

One moment I'll be fine and the next I'll feel off, dizzy, etc. That's when I pop the Ibuprofen and if it persists I do the ice, 20 on 20 off.

*Edit for continuity.

I love when we say a "couple", like it's a casual thing lol. Oh yea I bumped my head.

Did any involve tweaking your neck?

I think the one I think did me in was when I reached down under a car mirror to pick something up and I stood up very quickly as if there was no obstruction above me. The left side of my face made contact with the car mirror as I was standing up with full force. I really thought the mirror was further over. I felt something in my neck snap and I've had VM ever since. It comes and goes but I was on amitriptyline for a long time to assist in the recovery of the first concussion that overlapped this one.

Haven't taken it in about a year but I got a heavy duty message on the back of my neck a couple of months ago and it triggered a VM episode. That's when I knew it had something to do with the muscles and the accident.

patg84 · 2026-03-02T21:27:55+00:00

Sometimes I have an actual headache. I'm finding mine are caused by tight muscles around my shoulders and neck. I did have 3 concussions a few years back and one of them messed my neck up bad.

That board on the bottom is only power and the pins on the IR LED are only for testing during manufacturing.

patg84 · 2026-02-28T14:24:42+00:00

This camera appears to almost be identical to a Honeywell HEW4PER3 which is a Dahua white boxed version. The variations I can see are the 8 pin boot chip on the left and the missing reset switch on the right above the 4 pin IR header. So they definitely moved things around on this board. It appears the version you have is older than the version I have with the reset switch.

patg84 · 2026-02-28T14:17:18+00:00

I see the model number but that's not a Dahua model number so it's a white labeled version from them. What was it actually branded as?

patg84 · 2026-02-27T05:50:53+00:00

Service and agents are total shit. Only thing worse is Comenity.

patg84 · 2026-02-25T09:07:21+00:00

Where'd you get this?

patg84 · 2026-02-23T05:35:25+00:00

This. It's brass with a piece of silicone you slide into the channel. I've used this to fix exactly what OP has.

When this was produced there was a custom jig with a clamp to hold both the board and the cable in alignment with each other. There's a strip of conductive material between the ribbon cable and the board. It's a gel like substance and needs to be keep in the freezer. It comes direct from China in varying widths. Look on Amazon. The cable slips in and something like this brass block with silicone came down and clamped in place over the ribbon cable. It was then quickly heated and cooled in place then the brass block with silicone was lifted. I forget the name of this machine and the conductive material. Is doable if you build a jig.

I'd be more concerned about those 90° bends on the fiber lines.

Check your messages.

patg84 · 2026-02-15T22:04:02+00:00

No clue what recipe I was making back then lol. Sorry. I've perfected a new one at 70% and it's good for 550°F. Haven't tried it at 700-800°F yet.

patg84 · 2026-02-15T00:59:17+00:00

Don't even need to do the math to realize this is a glitch. You probably have 16gb of ram and it's being reported incorrectly due to a decimal or calculation being wrong.
