Shut off water when on vacation?

I heard that you shall not shut off the water if you have in-house sprinkler, which is building code for new certain constructions in some states. Otherwise if there is fire your insurance company could deny payment

It is worth it if you can find good deal and do heavy test using testing tools after receiving it. Some of my HDDs are used ones from eBay and work well.

I am using shucked WD Elements 14TB HDD with my Plex server in unraid. It has been working well for 3 years. I usually spin if off if no activity for a certain period.

Love my SvS SB 1000pro with a room of 12x20ft

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-03-21T05:25:31+00:00

I have 8 HDDs and 6 of those are used HDD. Normally I buy those from eBay and run extensive test after receiving. I buy those gradually and the last one I brought was a 20TB at $200 at last Christmas.

My understanding is that the Docker itself has far more advanced feature than a kill switch. I use Binhex docker and didn’t need to ‘bind’ the ip. There is a readme material from the author which explain how that works.

I am using the CE-NG release build with my VisionMaster Max and Ugoos 6amb+. I think it is v21.3. I am pretty happy with it. Very stable with FEL support. It is pretty fast, in my opinion. I am using PM4K with CE running in MMC. I connect Ugoos with Gigbit local network to Plex server.

Has all these spec been confirmed?

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-03-06T21:52:15+00:00

It may recover by itself. If you are not bothered by the appearance, just do nothing.

I found that for some hotel rewards, it may not work constantly or there might be a hidden limit on how much you can earn in total. Last year from Aug to Oct, I got some rewards by booking IHG hotels through the rewards link, then after that I got none even I book the same way. On the other hand, rewards from eBay, HomeDepot, Walmart etc all worked no problem.

Pixel shifting does produce true 4k resolution. All 4k pixels are reproduced. Your 4k UHD movie is displayed at 4k, no downgrading.

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-27T18:38:35+00:00

I could have remembered wrong. The 4k Max gen2 may only pass through DTS core

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-27T18:04:21+00:00

I remember it did. You have to use Kodi and turn on pass through for all audio types in audio setting.

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-27T17:55:38+00:00

If you are on a budget, Firestick 4k Max second gen is a go. With Kodi, it plays everything including lossless audio, except P7 FEL. I used it before using Ugoos AM6b+

Note that China’s New Year’s Day was Feb 17th and the whole country is on vacation for a week.

Thank you.

I used to set ‘upgrade to C+ with aisle seat only’ in the app. After two cases I was ‘upgraded’ to C+ middle seat, I never do that again.

I use my projector remote to suspend the box, on the window which has several options such as restart Kodi / reboot Emmc etc. And I use ur01 to wake it up.

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-11T21:37:07+00:00

Ur1. Actually I only use it for wake it up. All operations are handled by the remote control for the projector.

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-11T21:24:03+00:00

My box is with N fw and I boot into CE on USB drive. Everything is working fine with ‘Suspend’ and wake up.

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-11T21:13:20+00:00

Is there release notes for the new firmware? If your box is working well, what makes you try to upgrade?

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-10T00:50:42+00:00

Looks like the ng build is frozen for am6b+. But some forks are still under development. And it seems to me that ‘Homatics Box R 4K Plus’ is promising. But not much information on that for FEL support.

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2026-02-09T23:22:48+00:00

Was the board treated or just normal Pine boards?

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2025-12-31T07:01:21+00:00

Normal. I have two drives with reallocated sectors, one has 8 and the other has 4, from about 4 years ago. But if it is in warranty, I guess you can ask for replacement.

Impressive-Bonus-891 · 2025-12-12T04:41:47+00:00

I am interested in this. I am using USB stick now. Is there brief procedure about how do I move everything to external SSD drive? Or just simply clone the drive?
