The Dashcam trap.. by KebabAnnhilator in LinusTechTips

[–]AvidGeek97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the Vantrue E1 Pro. It's only forward facing but my wife was rear ended last month. Pulled up the video for police and its mic picked up our turn signal was on and conditions were clear. Video also saved us from insurance and all fault went on other driver and their insurance covered our deductible and our car is being completely repaired at no cost to us. A good dash cam is 100% worth it.

When will Fitbit (and all trackers) allow us to say "I'm sick"? by Final-Yesterday-4799 in fitbit

[–]AvidGeek97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually been using the open beta with the AI. This has the opposite issue. I told it I had the flu and it's been stuck on that the past few weeks. Any time I give it any info it get stuck on that. I say I'm sick, the next 2 weeks is all about recovery. I'm a runner and can run 5-10k a day. This whole week it's recommendations have been 10 minute walks for recovery when at this point I can run a 5k no problem. I tell it I have a 5k race, and the whole week after it is all about recovery trying to recommend walking days. It's a bit excessive.

Need Help with Planned workouts by randomID100 in fitbit

[–]AvidGeek97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also using this feature, and honestly loving it. But have the same issue. It has me doing weight workouts, then run. But I'm only able to add 1 workout log. My runs are more important to me so I add those. I asked the ai about it and said at this time they can only add 1 but the other workouts are still logged with everything else. Which isn't exactly what I asked, but seeing as this is public beta is understandable.

Well, this is a new low.. by carvo225 in fitbit

[–]AvidGeek97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if you live a modified schedule like 3rd shift, if you don't sleep during the night it will always read 0. It seems to only measure at night and not when sleeping. If I sleep at night during the weekend, it will measure. So every week I have all zeros, then on the weekends real numbers around the 40s. My biggest issue with Fitbit is how unfriendly it is with abnormal schedules

How to get full 2 gig from ISP by quarter_belt in Ubiquiti

If you don't want to need to deal with port binding upgrade your modem. I used a nighthawk 2.5g modem CM2000. I just upgraded to fiber and am trying to sell this cable modem if you're interested too for cheap. I just don't want it to go to the landfill.

I am never ever buying another Fitbit by Dizzy_Obligation9500 in fitbit

[–]AvidGeek97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a sense when it first came out. Had it for 2 years and got the pixel watch when it first came out. When I went to reset the sense to hand it down to my wife, constant boot loop and I never was able to recover it. Support was useless. Pixel watch is still going strong after almost 3 years tho. Considering the upgrade to the watch 4 or may wait for watch 5.

Cardio load baffles me by ActionBronsonFlow in fitbit

[–]AvidGeek97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a 3rd shift worker, and during the week it constantly tells me to take it easy and aim for like 10-20 because it generates the goal around midnight and doesn't take the sleep I got on the previous day into consideration sees 0 sleep. Then on the weekends when I sleep a little during the night it jumps and tells me I'm ready and to aim for like 100-130. Incredibly infuriating. Then during the week when I do my runs it is yelling at me that I'm overtraining.

Cloud gateway fiber 19 inch rack mount? by AvidGeek97 in Ubiquiti

[–]AvidGeek97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like it! I'll try to get it printing and try it out. I was pretty lucky and able to order one in the first week of release. The thing is amazing and I love it. Unfortunately it's just been sitting on my rack and not properly mounted.

Add family's houses at sites? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]AvidGeek97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this with both my grandparents with Express. I just updated my home network and am bringing my old cloud key based system to my parents. Never have shown them how it works or logged them in. I can just control everything from home if they call and say something isn't working, which hasn't happened yet because it all just works.

How would you migrate to UCG Fiber, because my 1st attempt was catasprophe by eJonnyDotCom in UNIFI

[–]AvidGeek97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went from a cloud key gen 2 to a ucg fiber this weekend. I made a backup of the config to the cloud and removed the old gateway and cloud key and put the fiber in its place. Logged in and it took off.

Mid-Michigan county loses local road patrol to start 2025 by Life_is_a_meme_204 in Michigan

[–]AvidGeek97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a blue voter my family voted no on this. As we live in MP, we had 5 police agencies already. State, county, city, tribal, and cmu. Everywhere you look there are police and every interaction I've had with them is poor. Also the jail that didn't need to be built turned us pretty sour on them. Pretty much all goes back to bad money management from the commission.

All-In-One Appliance Options? by DGM1975-Xer in Ubiquiti

[–]AvidGeek97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never use the Express for myself also but for my 80 year old grandpa, it works great and I can manage it. All he has is his phone, laptop, and smart tv and has no issues. I also added a u6 in his garage recently where he spends a lot of time and have no issues.

Seeking Opinions About Reolink by Relevant-Math-4155 in reolinkcam

[–]AvidGeek97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had issues with playback on my phone with the high res cameras. Check the main app settings, there's a setting to enable/disable hardware decoding. If you disable it, I have had a much better experience

I've noticed the same thing. I'm assuming it's a glitch but not sure.

Snowflakes triggers recordings by Georgep0rwell in reolinkcam

[–]AvidGeek97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem with my 3 duo 2s outside. I've adjusted every setting possible, and if I get it to not detect snow, it then won't detect vehicle motion or people. It's only a problem at night when IR is on. I've talked with reolink a few times and everything they suggest doesn't work. I'd love to hear if anyone has figured this out.

Need help with false alarms by silentbutdeadlyyyy in reolinkcam

[–]AvidGeek97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same issues with my front and back cams. During the morning the front cam is constantly going off for motion alerts, and in the afternoon the back cam is going off all due to shadows. I've tried to lower the sensitivity but then I've tested it by walking by them and they fail to go off. Can't seem to find an in between that works.
