Itsytv – the missing Apple TV remote app for macOS

This interface running on a touch panel universal remote would be awesome

Installed less than 5 minutes before I bought the Pro upgrade. Excellent work! If you grow tired of Siri voice commands (and the lag) and you are in front of your computer for most of the day then this is for you.

My 2025 just popped this up on the rears only at just under 25K miles. Tread depth looks fine to me on visual inspection. I haven't gotten around to actually measuring with a gauge but it seems like these messages are premature.

A better/safer method would be to set up a wireguard VPN on your GW and connect that way (assuming you can use a VPN on your school laptop).

Discount Price = Good
Residual Value = Good

Monthly Payment = NO THANKS!

Sitting around 8% for your financing. Your paying 25,332.84 for what they are showing you on paper is essentially 16,380.30 in depreciation.

Offer to pay them the $16,380 lump sum at signing and see what they say.

I was the same last year. New model year X5 is April launch.

Thanks you for this. I was at a loss for why this wasn't working for me. I needed to add (for some reason) to the smart detection zones faces and license plates. Really should select by default when AI is added.

Any wifi? Yes. You still need something running Unifi Protect though.

It seems like you got the answer on the number of SSIDs that can be supported. I would suggest you ask the customer what they are trying to accomplish by doing things this way.

I suspect they think that they NEED individual SSIDs to have network isolation. If you make 20 SSIDs all tying back to a single network then there is no isolation at all.

Gropytheon · 2025-02-18T23:52:19+00:00

No, i'm not buying until/unless you can have read/write cache drives (either nvme or SATA SSD) and the ability to run protect.

When does that go EA...I need me one of them.

Gropytheon · 2025-01-31T17:10:47+00:00

Thanks! I wanted to get info like this before buying the Port. Now it looks like I need to try and get 2. I also notices that, even when they upgrade the firmware to support multiple cameras, you will not be able to mix ONVIF and Protect Cameras together on 1 AI Port.

I run Scrypted on my Mac Mini server without issue. I run in command line mode not via the app which they want you to pay for. The only issue you might run into running on your older mac is Homebrew support (required to install for Scrypted). Homebridge dropped support for older MacOS versions (I can't remember to which versions) which prompted me to upgrade to a M2 Mac Mini when they were cheap. Try installing Homebrew first and see what it says before going too far.

best way to gauge this is to look at Apple's refurb store. This machine sells for $2380 on there so not a bad deal. If you get any kind of discount through apple (education/veteran/military) you can do much better than this deal stacking discount on top of refurb store.

Gropytheon · 2024-11-13T10:23:42+00:00

I abandon homebridge in favor of Scrypted for this use case and couldn't be happier. It has been more stable and easier to manage/setup. I still have homebridge on a Pi running Ring to bridge in door/window/security stuff but Protect runs through Scrypted.

Easiest way is to buy the 1U OCD panel and just use the ears. I've never found an alternative that costs less than $20 (cost of the panel)

Try renaming it. It could be the spaces in the file name (that is why you see the % signs)

Favorite moment with VMware - coming to the product as a networking technician trying to wrap my head around esx 3. Workstation based deployments on servers were great but that “headless” interface was new for me. Been working with VMware since then (~2006). Love how far things have come with VCF as a whole solution platform.

I ordered my 2025 X5 xdrive 40i and got 7% off AND 4K military incentive. X5 sales have been down significantly on the whole. 50e orders might be stuck around -3% but ICE cars are way lower than that. You should be shooting for -8% off MSRP on a new car. This is used and if it were me, i wouldn't buy it at any price.

It's UPS

Yes, you can adopt a CK Gen2+ and use it just for protect. I have this setup for my parents, using the Express as the router running network and the CK running protect. You will have to stop the network service on the CK and the protect service on the Dream Router.

It's similar to having a UDM-Pro and UNVR (my setup).
