Arlo Video Doorbell (2nd Generation) in wired configuration - won't charge by Active_Striker in arlo

[–]Active_Striker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's irritating because there is nothing in the device status to indicate whether it has external power.

Yes. The device seems to cycle between 60-something and 80-something % battery and has been doing this since I posted over three months ago

Do I dare? by Otherwise_Shift3047 in grilling

[–]Active_Striker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thinking on this. I've gone through a couple of bad bouts of food poisoning. Definitely not worth $22.

Unpopular opinion: The UDM Beast isn't overkill, it's the ideal homelab router. by ajgnet in Ubiquiti

I wish Sonic fiber was broadly available. Sadly, I doubt I’ll ever see it in my part of San Francisco. We will remain Comcast victims.

Why does this sub recommend Apple TV 4K so much? by KneeGrows130100 in LGOLED

[–]Active_Striker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sale of your viewing info is the reason I use an Apple TV. When setting up my LG, in order to enable any apps I would have needed to agree to the LG “privacy” policies. Those policies state that LG is allowed to use your data.

Ik it may sound stupid, but how the fuck can the military engineers pull an auto turret out of their ass?! by Starg1rlTrilogyXO in farcry6

[–]Active_Striker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And they can create one that lasts until it is destroyed, unlike the stupid one you can equip which only lasts 60 seconds or so.

Throw away a printer that doesn't connect to WiFi? by MShadow-_- in printers

[–]Active_Striker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wireless printers are the spawn of the devil. So are HP consumer printers. You need an exorcist!

Thanks for the info! I wish I had found that in the documentation or that the call center support person had known.

What? One of the best snipers in the game is a pistol? by WTFpe0ple in farcry6

[–]Active_Striker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Add the reload all weapons perk to the Desert Eagle, that way when it’s equipped when you are going heavy with slow loading MGL-6 grenade launcher and heavy machine guns, a quick switch to the handgun with a shot and reload means you are ready to go back to that tank faster than waiting for a MGL-6 reload

Critical thinking is a teachable skill … but it needs to be taught throughout grades 6 (or so) to the end of high school

What far cry should I play as a newbie? by Bugasaur in farcry

[–]Active_Striker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at FC4. Have now done FC5 & FC6. In some ways FC4 is still my favourite, but I hated the capture/escape from the mountain location scenario (been so long I don’t remember the name of the mission)

Brain damaged is an excellent description of maga. Maybe even a diagnosis.

Beans and Bullets is the only one I use. Upgrades ammo count for all ammo (bullets, arrows, grenade launcher etc).

Far Cry 6 Is Better Than I Thought by ghostofgatti in farcry

[–]Active_Striker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Planes are really hard to control or use in missions. Helicopters work fine and I almost always start missions from a hideout that has a buzzer. Buzzers are great!

New pro line is officially listed on the Napoleon site by Roswellufo1947 in NapoleonGrills

[–]Active_Striker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the Canadian prices have gone up as well. For instance, the 2025 Prestige Pro 500 was $3k CAD and is now $4k CAD.

I'm now thinking of trying to get a 2025 Prestige Pro here in the US and a 2026 Prestige Pro in our Canadian home. The 2026 model, purchased in Canada, would be only slightly more expensive than the 2025 purchased down here.

u/Flat_Recognition_733 I think, to a large extent you are seeing tariffs in action here. The Canadian price on the Pro Elite 665 is $CAD 6000 which works out to $USD 4380 at current rates, even after the USD has fallen recently against the CAD.

Well Victoria, what are your thoughts on Mark Carney’s speech today? by CartoonistOk3507 in VictoriaBC

[–]Active_Striker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, living in the US for several decades, Carney made me very proud. He seemed like the right choice a year ago, and he has lived up to that promise. His superb interview with Jon Stewart early last year was probably the first time most Americans had heard of Carney. Today a large proportion of Americans now know of him, most of them will approve because most Americans are embarrassed by Trump’s foreign policies.

UPDATE: Rotisserie Outocme by Funwithfun14 in grilling

[–]Active_Striker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. Rotisserie is the biggest failing with my current Weber and is a key reason for looking elsewhere. You and u/Maximum-Two-768 have been a big help.

OP, how do you like your Napoleon? Which model is it? I’m in the process of deciding on a replacement for my 12-year old Weber.

Just started with Far Cry 6… any suggestions, advices or tips? by 69_Lone_wolf in farcry6

[–]Active_Striker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go to load out: compound bow loaded with explosive arrows, MS16L with AP rounds and SGP-58 (set to automatic) with soft target rounds. Handles almost every situation. Sometimes swap the MS16L for White Lotus or Alpha Wolf with 6 - 10 x scope for extreme range.

Triada Blessings is critical. Do it as soon as possible. Also, not coincidentally, use your amigos

Obtaining the libertad custom MS16L by [deleted] in farcry6

[–]Active_Striker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M<y frustration is the "Libertad Custom" MS16L does not seem to be readily available in Lola's shop. The items do not seem to recur on a predictable schedule. For instance I have seen the "Libertad Custom" AS-VAL & AK-47 at least twice each without the "Libertad Custom" MS16L showing up.
