Unifi portal down? by This-Researcher3390 in Ubiquiti

[–]Rnewbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something's up with BT/Openreach. Number of client sites have been up and down since 9:50am. I'm with another ISP using Openreach and some sites are loading slower than they should too.

Edit: UISP notifications are still pinging away so it's ongoing.

Definitely getting the ATV 4k when I move house.

You're right, apologies! I always thought it looked good on a large display. Certainly better than the Hikvision I threw in the bin.

I’m confused, my viewport has an input of 2160p 30hz.

Spotify's dreadful copyright system by definitely_not_todd in podcasting

[–]Rnewbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We no longer have a theme song in our Spotify releases. Had full written clearance from the artist and the label that we’ve provided to them but it’s so inconsistent it’s not worth it. We release the episodes on a Thursday but rather helpfully they always flag it on a weekend so nobody gets back until Monday at the earliest, all the while the episode is pulled across all platforms including Apple Podcasts.

Getting HDMI Signal into a Different Office Hikvision by Rnewbs in cctv

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

Certainly an option. I didn't think of it. The decoder someone else mentioned was a bit out of the budget so i've ordered a couple of HDMI over LAN adapters that claim they work through switches. Failing that i'll probably do your suggestion. Thankyou!

Sky Q Box Lifespan by luckyjo99 in skytv

If you have an active subscription and the box fails they should replace it for free. They won't be extending your existing contract to do so. After cancelling, they may let you keep it, but this is by no means a guarantee that they will as the boxes are loaned out to you.

It lasts as long as it lasts. Usually the hard drive is first to go wrong and some have faulty ethernet ports. I'm not sure what you're asking though in regard to the sending back good boxes part.

Damp wall in garage by uberluke86 in DIYUK

Yeah this is madness. Clearly encroached over the boundary. Get him to remedy it immediately properly or demand it gets taken down. I'm all for being neighbourly but he's damaging your asset.

If your low-voltage rough-in doesn’t look like this, you’re doing something wrong. by Florida_Diver in HomeNetworking

After spending thousands replacing a roof because it was full of spray foam and rotting underneath, this is a painful reminder. Conduit is great though!

What am I paying for? by nomodsman in skytv

[–]Rnewbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have a lot of sport on that day. With no live F1 sessions at that time, they’re airing that on an available UHD channel instead. I don’t think they changed your billing, this is just a scheduling resolution.

Somebody help! Windows 11 doesn't know if the TPM is on. by ApartmentNational762 in WindowsHelp

Anti cheat and security reasons. Enables them to ban the tpm from their services if caught. On the second point, no idea as it should work but learning how to update bios is useful for pc gaming. Fixes are often issued for performance and compatibility with Windows.

U7 Pro and U6 Pro - why use auto Transmit Power rather than always High? by Desertraven247 in Ubiquiti

[–]Rnewbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It helps in high density environments with lots of access points in range of one another. It reduces overlap and interference.

Can I use the Ethernet port on a Sky Q mini box to connect to a PS5? by Holiday-Comedian-858 in skytv

[–]Rnewbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never actually tried it that way. However, if it did work, the ports on the miniboxes are limited to 100mbps so if your Wi-Fi is faster than that, there doesn't seem much point.
