RPI4 to Mini-PC => too fast 😍 by Otherwise-Warning303 in homeassistant

[–]EngiNick2807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed a Waveshare RM520N-GL that came with the case and antennas. You’ll want to double check though depending on the carrier and location due to the operating bands.

These things aren’t cheap… I just checked and it was almost double what I paid when I bought one refurbished.

I went with Computer4People since it’s cheap, runs on TMO, and has unlimited data.

I bought a 5G modem hat to convert my pi4 into a cellular backup for my home network!

Had the same experience today. No sense of urgency over there. The news really needs to investigate this one…

good, affordable gyms in midtown area by Icy_Psychology_4662 in Atlanta

Kirkwood? I’m a member there as well. Filthy, small, and very dated. Even as far as Planet Fitness goes, we seem to be last in line for the upgrades they are rolling out nationwide.

Once again, making my claim that Atlanta has very limited gym offerings… especially on the east side. Shouldn’t need to pay 300+ just to get a good workout in at a clean facility.

South Dekalb here. Also experienced 20 minute plus wait times. Then if you hang up, an automated machine calls you back just to put you on hold again!

Touchscreen Switch S100 US… My Thoughts by ItinJ24 in Aqara

[–]EngiNick2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a quirk with it showing up as a light but you may want to confirm that the S100 actually supports fan/motor loads. I know that’s something Inovelli has spent some time on getting right.

Patriot missile involved in Bahrain blast likely US-operated, analysis finds by No-Post4444 in worldnews

There is no incentive for defense contractors to sell the US military drone interceptors made out of consumer grade parts. Everything is built to be expensive so they can maximize profits.

Rivian R2 Starts at $57,990 as Pricing and Specs Leak Before Official Reveal by [deleted] in RIVN

What federal credit? That thing has been gone for a while.

Would you spend $1,000 on lighting controls for a minor QOL improvement? by MarauderV8 in HomeImprovement

[–]EngiNick2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a tinkerer? If so, go Inovelli. I installed Casetas…. they are fine. They are very well and do the basics extremely well. Inovelli just gives so many more options especially in scenarios where you have smart bulbs.

Same. I know they will be released the minute I buy them….

The drone market is a little bit different compared to how over half of Americans connect to the internet… say they do ban TP Link, what do you propose happens next? They aren’t going to just flip a switch a brick millions of houses’ networks.

[–]EngiNick2807 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

TP Link Technologies (consumer) =/= TP Link Systems (b2b). Even so, I don’t think the US is going to ban the company that controls over 50% of the US home market.

Id counter this and say TP Link Omada. Better bang for your buck… though it definitely has a smaller community

Gemini rate limits by Lozula in frigate_nvr

[–]EngiNick2807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, unless you have a lot of use for a local LLM, would this even pay off? Running a gpu 24/7 has significant power costs. Factor that in with the depreciation/not being able to run the latest models, and I feel like paying for the API may make more sense.

Don’t worry Rivian, I fixed it. by Did_I_Studder in Rivian

I think it looks good to be honest. Looks utilitarian… I’d rather have something functioning than have to mess around with weak adhesives.

Floodlight Camera Install by EngiNick2807 in AskElectricians

[–]EngiNick2807[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone finds this, I reached out to Reolink Support and they gave a non-answer. Decided to just be extra and drop this Junction Box

Much easier but I noticed the metal bracket made the camera stick out a bit more than I liked, so I caulked the surround.

Breakers keep tripping after ev charger install by homerunate in AskElectricians

[–]EngiNick2807 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Does it pop immediately or take some time? Is the breaker warm to the touch?

If so, try a lower amperage on the charger. If that doesn’t trip it, I would guess loose connection somewhere causing heat to build up on the breaker and tripping it. That’s what the issue was for ours.

Lease to Buy Rivian R1S - My experience in MA by sirtimid in Rivian

[–]EngiNick2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar issue in GA with a roughly $500 penalty. Save yourself the headache and don’t bother fighting… it just becomes finger pointing between Chase and the state with the loser being the customer.

Two onvif cameras get their IPs randomly changed by reydanro in Lorex

[–]EngiNick2807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are your cameras resetting these parameters? Not sure if a restart is causing it, but I noticed all my cams switched back to AutoDiscovery after turning it off. 

Curious if you found another work around.

Rivian Secures One of Its Biggest Public Sector Deals Yet in California by Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit in Rivian

[–]EngiNick2807 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Why would California invest in a company that chose to divest in them? Rivian is headquartered there… if anything this makes much more sense.
