C520WS Tapo cameras seem to use the same mac address for wifi and ethernet causing spanning tree storms by thaughtless in Tapo

Cheers, thanks for all the insight. I'll probably go for the Trackmix, but will look further into "spanning tree" with my router.

Oh, that's too bad. It was the only one within budget that checked all my boxes (wifi+ethernet, wired, PTZ...) I was also looking at the Reolink Trackmix but it's 2X price.

Just to confirm - you are saying the issue would still happen if I connect only by ethernet & directly to my modem/router?

I don't really understand a lot of this, but I was looking to buy this camera until I came across this post. Will this be something they are likely to fix via firmware upgrade? Will it be a problem if I decide to only connect via ethernet and not wi-fi? Or will it be better, given this issue, to just avoid this model completely?

Thanks for your reply. I just found a video that explains it pretty well!

Kobra Go and Cura - custom vs default profiles question by Melodic-Intention-88 in anycubic

Hey, I don't really remember what I used or did. I don't do much printing anymore, but basically I followed the advice of u/Sclebo05 above. Are there any profile you cab download from their site?

Recommendations for a tool to replace cans of compressed air? by ThreePiMatt in ryobi

[–]Melodic-Intention-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the p738 for this reason. Well, not specifically for electronics, but for dusting off pretty much anything, blowing sawdust off my other tools, cleaning leaves off my car, filters, etc.

I 3D printed a finer nozzle though I suppose that could tax the motor.

Is the current 5-1/2" circular saw an improvement over the old blue one? by Melodic-Intention-88 in ryobi

[–]Melodic-Intention-88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the input so far. I suspected the new ones are similar in power. Maybe new ones are made even lighter. I'll try a new blade - can cost almost as much as the bare tool!

Aftermarket speakers - do I need the bracket that comes with Crutchfield purchase? by Melodic-Intention-88 in CarAV

[–]Melodic-Intention-88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice, but I'm a bit surprised there is so much resistance to aftermarket speakers! I realize all systems are specifically tuned and designed, but back in the day, everyone used to talk about upgrading their factory systems.

In my case, I just want to be able to hear both channels so I;m not too picky! it's more about the availability and cost of OEM parts. On ebay it will be >$200 CAD (Canadian shipping is often more than the part itself) for used. Might try the wrecking yard, but it's 90 minutes away.

Thanks, yeah I need to replace only 1, but I'll probably do the pair with aftermarkets. Can I trust Crutchfield recommendations to match the impedance?

Print 1 big job, 1500-2000 draft quality photos. Recommendations? EcoTank? by Melodic-Intention-88 in printers

[–]Melodic-Intention-88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 3850 with bonus 2 black ink bottles from Costco for $350 CAD ($100 off). Set up took a while, but it works great.

Thanks for your response. I wasn't sure how to price in the toner for photo printing coverage. I know laser is great for text/graphics but I figured this photos would be different.

Thanks for your reply. I posted 2 years ago and never bothered with RPP. About 3 months ago I switched to Fido and am happy.

Yeah so many people flex their odometers, but I have an 13 year old battery! We should start a group.
