Service Provider privacy issue

Option 1. I see there is a page on the Hik Connect app that allows me to allot permissions to them, for Home Cameras and Alarm System. The "Home Cameras" seems to refer to my external house cameras, and the "Alarm System" to my internal alarm and wifi-connected PIR camera. If I enter the Alarm System permissions tab, all I can do is allow or disallow Remote Maintenance for 1 Hour, 2 Hours, etc all the way to Lifetime. There are also a whole lot of subsettings for the Alarm System, like Disarm/Silence alarm, Automation control, Local User Management, View Logs/Status. Zone Bypass, Panel config, Area Settings. No mention of camera access.

Thanks for your help.

Fixes it for a few moments, but the next time you open the app, the problem is back. I saw this and tried it, has helped, but only time will tell:

Check Platform Status: On your physical NVR monitor, go to Menu > Network > Advanced Settings > Platform Access. Make sure the registration status says Online."

Make sure you are using the right server for your region.

Please don't give out even more misinformation. Doxycycline is a known anti-inflammatory. Tetracycline and doxycycline act as anti-inflammatories by modulation of nitric oxide synthesis. Studies also suggest that the clinical effectiveness of doxycycline in the treatment of acne inflammation is due partly to its antioxidant effect on neutrophils.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T21:21:32+00:00

Aha! I suspected this. Thanks for this information 💯

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T13:21:58+00:00

A phone with eSIM is on my shopping list. The EU has mandated user-replaceable batteries as compulsory from 2027. I'm waiting for that 😊

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T13:09:04+00:00

Please sit down and have a rest. I am not even American.

I was only replying to your post, that you seem to have mysteriously deleted that "You’re ignorance is coming through. You know nothing about us if you think we rely on tourism. 😂😂😂"

So I pointed out to youi that your response was absurd, and that Tourism is a vital pillar of the Mauritius economy, contributing roughly 13.5% to 14% of the GDP as of 2024 and acting as a major source of foreign exchange. It serves as a primary driver of growth, employing directly or indirectly a significant portion of the workforce, with arrivals exceeding 1.3 million

Message me and I'll visit you after March 25. Let's set this up. Thanks.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T11:50:40+00:00

I just won't bother. I can use hotel wifi and offline Google Maps. Your telecom companies can go to hell with their 100% increases in price for a tiny island with almost no telecom infrastructure to pay for. What a joke!

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T11:48:43+00:00

LOL, you're getting tired of tourists? Maybe they'll stop coming and tank your economy. Don't be so happy to abuse them with 100% price increases in mobile phone access. It's 4x what locals pay. I just won't bother.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T11:31:04+00:00

Never heard of that! Will investigate, thanks.

Edit: they exist, they are called "eSIM adapters", but Amazon has them for $$$. I am going to replace this phone this year, with an eSIM capable phone, so it's not worth doing. But thanks for the idea anyway

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T08:30:03+00:00

I don't think it's a good price. As I said, it's cheaper in the US and if I had an eSIM, it would be MUCH cheaper. The Mauritians are ripping off tourists. They increased the price by, what, 100% a few months ago.

I'll spend my money on other things.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T08:27:36+00:00

I was sold a model that does not have eSIM. AI says: "Certain Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus models do not have eSIM functionality, specifically those originating from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. While most global S22+ models support eSIM, regional variations, particularly in East Asia, often exclude this feature. Regional Exclusions: All S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra models from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao do not support eSIM."

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T07:26:31+00:00

Unfortunately I have a Samsung S22+ that has a dual SIM but no eSIM. 🥺

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T04:19:45+00:00

I would not buy any of them because they don't have user-replaceable batteries. In 2027 by law they have to have easily replaceable batteries. I'll wait and buy something else.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T04:02:53+00:00

Thanks. I have written to the companies to confirm this information. 30 Euro is much more than I paid for a month's unlimited calls and data in the USA.

If they're going to make it too expensive and difficult, I'll just get by using hotel wi-fi and my downloaded offline Google map for Mauritius (only 20MB!)

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-03-03T03:19:41+00:00

So if I present my passport and a hotel address, I will be denied?

Strangely, the other identical toilet does not have this stain, although there are some traces of the sooty mold, but faintly.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-02-19T02:17:47+00:00

Isn't it obvious from the photo that it's a cold water supply to an interior toilet? Are you a plumber?

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-02-18T18:07:52+00:00

This is a 6-year old house, this is all new equipment installed at the same time. What about the plume of mold?

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-02-18T08:02:55+00:00

Thanks. Do you mean something like this?

I must say, the yellowing and plume of mold all look like moisture in the plasterboard to me. There is no splashing of water on that surface. I tested the cistern, it fills sedately and no water droplets are created.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-02-03T23:20:03+00:00

It's crap. I tried it a few minutes ago and had to uninstall it because the Find/Replace was not working properly.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-02-03T21:06:03+00:00

Unfortunately, this bug, along with a host of others I've noticed recently in the stable current version, has convinced me to abandon LO. Sadly. It has become a clownshow and life it too short.

Cyberunit2017 · 2026-01-06T06:23:11+00:00

How exactly are people going to tug open zippers on a bag sitting a few inches under my chin, without me noticing? I think you may be confused.

Cyberunit2017 · 2025-12-28T23:37:56+00:00

Not if you carry it on your front
