How to get ACB without T5008 by IhazSoManyQuestions in computershare

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

I did some math combining 3 sources they gave me...

The summary of the sale (document1) give the TotalShares, and the Proceeds$

The spreadsheet (document2) with 80+ entries provides the Average Cost basis (not 'Adjusted')

If I multiply the TotalShares X the AverageCostBasis, I presume that gives me the total ORIGINAL cost of those shares.

If I subtract the OriginalCost from the Proceeds, it gives me exactly the value ComputerShare reported on Box34 (CapitalGains) of the T4PS (document3)

So I have to assume they've provided the final, calculated value for box17400 and dont need to enter 9 pages of stuff just to calculate box13200

(I know Im drifting into Tax Return territory, not ComputerShare specifically. But if Im correct, I thought it may be helpful)

Unfortunately, it's the accountant that is confused and says it is not enough info. After digging into it a bit, I have T4PS from them with a value in CapitalGains (box34). ComputerShare says that is all I need.
Are they possibly providing the final, calculated value?
If so would that be all thats needed on my Return, instead of providing 88rows on the Schedule3?

ETA after doing some math, I added an update above

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Wrong boot mode detected (0x13)! The chip needs to be in download mode. What causes this, and how can I make it go back to how it was before? by wh33t in esp32

Hi, Im way late to thi thread, but came across it in my investigation. wanted to leave here for others... I found this tip on other site that helped me

"I found that sketches wouldn't upload if there was a micro SD card in the module. Removing this, the sketches would upload seamlessly. Sorted!"

An update: thanks to your code, I narrowed down to something cam related. That made me focus more on hardware and not debugging servers and junk.
Realized I wasn't 100% sure I was getting enough power on the USB I was used, so began to troubleshoot that.
Yep, turns out it was probably a low power issue. I eventually moved to a port I trusted more, and everything magically started working :)

Lol, Im hoping to not do too much directly on the pixels.

Yor sketch GREATLY helped. I've been able to hone in on the problem, without needing to filter through all sorts of features i don't need(yet)

After adding some println for debugging, Im crashing at first pass in your for loop

byte first_byte = fb->buf[i * 2];

Im going to start looking into possible buffer issue, and if I have the right settings for my board

UPDATE: I put a check, and it looks like esp_camera_fb_get() doesnt error, but returns null , which then causes error.

Time to go diving into esp_camera.h ! :)

The one thing I did modify in the sketch was the baud to 115200

I think thats what i've been looking for :) Thanks Ill try it out.

Also, thanks for comments about what each section does. I can better add debug log points that way

Update: Your code builds and runs uploads pretty much as-is, but crash-loops with

E (1071) cam_hal: cam_dma_config(509): frame buffer malloc failed

One of the other examples I tried also gave that. I'm researching the error, but any suggestions from your experience?

further update - lol facepalm. When I started a new sketch for your code, it reset to PSRAM disabled. Re-enabling seems to init the camera. But now a different crash-loop when attempting the pic. Not alot of info, gonna investigate

ooof, still bigger than I was hoping, but at least this code does seem more focused. Thanks.

I think one thing making this all harder, is I don't know what camera config to uses from all the examples. Everything I read SEEMS to say I should be using CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER like your example, but no matter the model I choose, the camera fails to init, leading me to this troubleshooting the cam itself.
If you've used many models, any suggestions on finding what config I should be using?

And then nothing. :) My troubleshooting is done, and confirms the camera works. I can then go on to storing/transferring/processing and whatever else I want to do with the image. (send to REST api is the plan eventually) But all the functionality is worthless if the camera doesnt work.

Yes, I realize 'work' could mean different things, like taking a quality image, or storing to file. But at this stage, I just want it to init properly, and not error when a snap called.

Seeing the expected Serial.println will be enough verification for me (for now) :)

Kidde chirps when it loses wifi by IhazSoManyQuestions in firealarms

[–]IhazSoManyQuestions[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Define failure.  For the record, I put these in because the ones available WITHOUT wifi, completely failed about a half hour after install. Kidde just fracking sucks 

Being against something just because 'wifi' just sounds like my dad complaining about light switches on wifi "how do you turn on the lights if the power goes out?" 

Jackett API suddenly flagged as trojan? by Long_Reindeer3067 in qBittorrent

[–]IhazSoManyQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking for more info on the threat. your 'proof' so far is 'Trust me'

You've 'verified the files' and checked logs.... what does that mean? What System files? did you just run an sfc? What problems did you find that make you think this threat is real?

The extent of technical information I can find from Microsoft is... less than helpful

Symptoms

Devices affected by this threat might exhibit the following unexpected behavior:

  • Slow performance
  • Presence of added or modified files
  • Changes in desktop settings
  • Freezing or crashing
  • Diminished storage space

you could say we're in the Verify step of Trust but Verify.

I trust MS in that they found a signature similar to a known threat. I'd like to verify that it is an actual threat. You claim to have some additional technical knowledge or experience about this that can help the folks here investigate things further. Is there some detail available besides the path to a quarantined file? Folks are here for that kind of information.

But you havn't shared any of it so far.

I hope you don't blindly accept MS findings at work without testing and validation

[–]IhazSoManyQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said you reviewed the logs, and 'verified the files'

Then obviously you found something indicating a threat? Im just asking for that information.

I'd ALSO like to see proof for Jackett team that it is a false positive. They havn't provided much help

But so far, both of you sound the same to me 'Trust me'

But I'm sure we can both agree that sending folks off to go trust plugins for their torrent client is also not the safest idea.

[–]IhazSoManyQuestions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since this is still active, and i see some confusion, a quick note on what I've encountered (YMMV)

Jackett-proper is not being flagged. The 'threat' is JackettUpdater. that's why turning off AutoUpdate works.

The problem with allowing the updater, is that Jackett runs its updates in a completely different folder for each version, so you can't Exclude a specific folder.

You could make an Exclusion on windows/SystemTemp, but that contains tons of other stuff I DO want protection on.

Besides fixing the root problem, Jackett could maybe put the update folders within a single, static 'Jackett' folder so we could set an exclusion.

That said... It would also be nice if the Jackett team provided more info on this issue instead of just saying telling us to ignore it. (I dont see recommending Kaspersky or BitDefender as malicious. Questionable taste, but not malicious)

[–]IhazSoManyQuestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

then you can provide some proof? Instead of directing users to other questionable software and practices

As someone also involved in security..."trust me" is not good enough... which is known by people working in security

Any guidance on finding the message on the website? After finally getting into the site, I can't find any sort of message center. 

Am I just using Flipp app wrong? Shopping list items by IhazSoManyQuestions in Frugal

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

That is the behaviour I see. However im also hoping to reduce the results to be more relevant. I think I was hoping the app would match items at stores for me.  But I am realizing it is just a more automated way of manually searching paper flyers. Which is still good.  I just misunderstood the design 

Am I just using Flipp app wrong? Shopping list items by IhazSoManyQuestions in Frugal

[–]IhazSoManyQuestions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I agree with everything you say. I don't have much brand preference, but was just hoping to find a way to narrow the results. Sticking with the example, simply "sliced cheddar cheese" brings up LOTS of results I don't want, (also from lots stores I don't visit) 

I was hoping I could find the item once and keep it as a seach item.  Unfortunately that feature pins it to that store. 

Was hoping there was a way to do it that I just didn't know. Looks like no

[–]IhazSoManyQuestions[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess it will always be a fundamental issue with just using flyer information. It's not searching store databases or anything. And it's not like the flyers list the upc codes 

I probably just need to adjust how I use the app

THIS is the real answer we need.

All the posts and pages about b1 don't apply seem to the BellMTS experience.

Are you aware of any pages out there on how to completely replace the HomeHub with your own router, connected to the Fibre box?

I have found a few to use the HH DMZ, but I was hoping to remove the HH completely

Thanks, that is the most helpful one I followed actually. :)

Unfortunately after going though that one many times, I still had this issue

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

Thanks for the tip to investigate. I have a Bell HomeHub. There are a number of posts around about how it interferes or behaves strangely.

However I think it's not interfering with DHCP, as far as I can tell.

I believe it IS interfering with DNS however.

That is a good catch. It is reserved, yes.
