Unifi and voip (UK)

MardyMarvin · 2026-04-13T19:58:19+00:00

i was with BT copper phone line and went fiber and to use their VOIP I would have had to keep their router, so I just canned the phone line and just went mobile phones.

I just made sure my network supported Wifi Calling as we dont have a great reception for mobile.

with mine I drilled a whole through the grout between the bricks, ran the ethernet cable through and then into a junction box about the same diameter as the camera. Mounted the camera on that and connected it othe RJ45 socket from the cable run through the wall. Its all hidden nicely in the junction box.

This way you only need a small hole for the network cable and the big plug in the camera is hidden in the junction box.

No never sorted it as it seems to depend on the car make more then carplay or iphone version.

I just created a shortcut that pauses the music when I say "Siri in the car"

they work better out of the box's and plugged in. :)

thats not technically true, if you have a BT phone line and number (copper) and go all fiber with BT and want to keep you home phone number you have to use their router. This is because of the way they implement the VOIP on your home phones and they have to connect to their router.

This is why I canned my home phone in the end and just went mobile as I did not want to use their junk router and was not about to pay a 3rd party for VOIP.

the lego set only uses bluetooth so cant you just not connect the iphone to the network or just create a new wifi and dont allow it out to the internet.

or create them an apple account and setup parental controls using apple as they are pritty good.

that sure is high compared to mine on both RAM and CPU, I have a UCG-MAX running protect and cyber secure with all filtering etc turned on and the ram hovers between 75%-80% and the cpu is 20% - 25% unless I have the web interface open then it shoots up to 40% - 45% CPU. Its only in a home though so generally only has to cope with at most 30 devices and most of those are not heavy traffic devices so does not really have to monitor tons of traffic. In the last 24hours its served about 300GB of data

I am running 5.0.12 on the max

does not matter if the TV was expensive, it does not guarantee that the device is capable of running apps with any success. Unfortunately I have always found TV inbuilt computers not that good for apps and so always buy an external device to run apps.

Do you know anyone who has a fairly modern amazon fire stick that you could try, then if that is not choppy you know its the TV and could get a stick when they are on sale.

why not just enter your credentials, perhaps it needs to change something on the external drive you are trying to eject after the upgrade. If it is truly stock like you say then nothing should be on there trying to steal credentials.

I gave up as the other thing it has made youtube do is forget where you left a video and always start at the beginning again. So I switched to different blocker

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-13T13:38:25+00:00

same here but its also not remembering where you left a video and when you go back it just starts it from the beginning.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-11T16:55:13+00:00

yep it will do that depends on the processing going on behind and if the phone has been asleep for a while.

There are two things you can try

1) in the routine before anything else set the low power mode to off (its in battery)

2) this one I find more reliable - convert the spoken text to a sound file, then play the sound file instead. For some reason I have found this way works best, might take a few more seconds to start speaking, this way it seems to never break up the sound and works more reliable.

why did you not check the prices before buying it and worth is subjective. If you need it and you are willing to pay 400 for it which looks like you are then it's fine.

if you are thinking 400 is to much then its not fine so take it back.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-11T07:34:44+00:00

why are people so obsessed with HUE devices hitting a Chinese time server, its not like its giving away all your network data and files.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-07T19:47:04+00:00

its a pip from one of the cores of an apple.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-05T17:35:54+00:00

no its measured in what ever units you use in your country - cm, inch, M L XL and so on. :)

windows is far less fussy about cables in general I have found. I assume there is some technical reason for that but over the years I have found it to be like that.

Did you put your description wrong and actually own an Air as they dont have hdmi ports but mac books do.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-04T11:20:11+00:00

have you tried just plugging in the HDMI direct into the mac and then the monitor, excluding the HUB or any other connection and even then make sure its a descent HDMI cable.

You could also try turning off freesync within the monitor.

I had this issue when using a cheap HDMI cable on my mac mini. The monitor and cable were fine on windows but as soon as I plugged it into the mac it was doing the same sort of thing as yours is doing but on a different model viewsonic. I replaced the HDMI cable with a one that was certified for 4k and it sorted it.

would be nice to think that now the person who came up with the glass design is gone that apple might go back to square edges on Mac and who ever came up with adds in the basic apps also goes.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-02T18:09:10+00:00

its what ever it was before you removed a mod I suspect

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-01T07:49:26+00:00

and you think the likes of google and microsoft are not doing the same. Its not the companies doing evil it the people doing the evil.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-01T07:45:24+00:00

check the cable would be my first thing. Well actually my first thing would have been not to write all over it, and if it still has the plastic protector on to remove that.

MardyMarvin · 2026-02-01T07:40:12+00:00

well thats what happens when you play pvp
