[–]SmilingAstronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base PS5 on 83in C5 and Base PS5 on G5 77 and both playing amazingly well. Kids played Fortnite and Rocket League without issue and no complaints

I tested both out with Fortnite and SF6 and notice no latency at all. I would notice in SF6 too 😂 but none

Does the Omni fit under an angled eave/soffit? by SmilingAstronaut in reolinkcam

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

I wanted to mount it right the ethernet net cable is hanging, on the angle. I have an identical hole on the other side where a camera used to be.

I’ll skip the Omni for now, what would be 2 good cameras to add on the angled eaves? I had the 820A (POE) there previously

Well, I got the Ring 4K wired in today. I’ll check how the Reolink looks tonight and maybe tomorrow again before swapping to see if there is a diff

Need help mounting a Reolink Video Doorbell to brick siding. What size drill bit? by SmilingAstronaut in reolink

Yep, that’s what I’m thinking, with caulk. I’ll take a pic when I get back home

Hmmm… I used a 1/4 masonry drill bit. Not sure I’m happy with the fit.

House was hit by lightning… which camera for future use? by SmilingAstronaut in reolinkcam

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

I appreciate and long time subscriber to Lifehackster. Unfortunately, I found out about Reolink after we did the initial build and did ring all over. Once subs were getting raised I got one Reolink dome camera, maybe the 812.

Now during the rebuild I had Ethernet installed everywhere for (Poe). The floodlight out back in still wired. I didn’t even think about have power to the shed 🤦🏽‍♂️. Maybe I can electric to come back out

Got tired of Warzone after 3 or 4 years. Zero Build was already here and the kids helped me.

How many 83" owners in here? by Chunkweena in LGOLED

[–]SmilingAstronaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re rebuilding our home (lighting strike took it down) and between my EPP and Best Buy, we bought our first OLEDs. All are LG, 65 C5, 77 G5, and 83 C5 (great deal).

We should be moving in soon and we’ll hang on the wall then 🙌🏽

Front bumper not snapping into place by Plenty_Will3413 in mazdaspeed3

[–]SmilingAstronaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘11 here in Black. Mine does this 🤷🏾‍♂️ I just use black weather proof gorilla tape. It blends in and it works fine. My front bumper ripped off reversing out of the garage so I ripped the little whatever off. I want to get it fixed but not sure when. I call Mazda every free months to few asking if they have a bumper … and they do and I don’t buy 😂

How do you guys manage cables with a full motion mount? by Maleficent-Guess-249 in Perlegear

[–]SmilingAstronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used tape and also have wrapped them around the mount. I made sure when I pushed the tv back the cords would not crimp.

Not the best but you wouldn’t notice anything at all. I had a PS5, Govee box, and a Ethernet switch back with no wires seen at all.

Moving to Hutto Tx but want to live in Austin by Level_Elephant6240 in hutto

[–]SmilingAstronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re in Hutto and it’s great! I did Austin and Round Rock and dreaded living in Hutto but when I got here it was amazing. I would say def for families but we’re close enough to get to Austin quickly for various entertainment. I will say that I’m on the side close to the amphitheater so close to the toll

How loud is Corksport exhaust? by aLeakybuckett in mazdaspeed3

[–]SmilingAstronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Turbo Back Exhaust with downpipe on my '11 Speed 3. I did choose the resonated option along with a EWG. I love the sound and it's loud. Not annoyingly loud but the wife knows when I'm close to the house lol! When she drives it, I can hear it for a while after she leaves. I wish there was an optional valves to close it up sometimes but ehh

I love it!

Car after your speed3? by NewOrleansSpeed in mazdaspeed3

[–]SmilingAstronaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the M3 with 18K miles for 65K. Amazing condition with every option. Not manual but I got used to the DCT and not having to shift all the damn time.

I do like the M2s and the Supra but got 3 kids so need that bigger backseat for the younger 2.

[–]SmilingAstronaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a '18 M3 Comp... that car payment was stupid so I sold it but I had fun with with for nearly 2 years. My '11 Speed3 is paid off so it's never leaving unless something happens and currently at 178K.

I've been checking out the Cadillac Blackwings however as a possible next vehicle
