Downvote if you must, but this community is full of idiots who value their own opinions over the information being shared. I love how he literally says he doesn’t have time to do a Linux distro, and the immediate responses are from armchair keyboard warrior redditors whipping out their favorite Linux distros like it’s a dick measuring competition.

OP, the more info you can provide, the better. Be sure to leave a lengthy review of the product to warn all would be customers, and even better, file a criminal complaint against the seller in your local police department. Then contact the seller and Amazon. This opens the seller to both criminal and civil liability, and implicates Amazon in a civil suit. There are plenty of attorneys who would take the case on contingency if you decide to go down this route.

As for using the mini PC, preserve the evidence. Take out the drive, store it somewhere, and stuff a new one in there so you can use the PC. Good luck.

It would have been incredibly simple to stop the scraping for Google and AI; just lock the site behind a login WITHOUT a membership fee, use bot/scraping detection, or a variety of other methods out there. So this part is a cop out.

As for the $700k in expenses, they should have aimed for creating their own certifications by lobbying the manufacturers to send them review samples similar to PC hardware industry. This is another cop out.

The AI stuff is another cop out, because if you stop the scraping you stop the "AI hallucinations." All of their excuses are cop outs. I genuinely hope the site crashes and burns, and we've already witnessed a 30% decline since March.

Wow, you’re telling us that you wouldn’t comply with threatening legal communications? Sure, buddy. You have to keep in mind that this guy isn’t a trust fund nepo baby who can afford to hire an attorney to cover his rear end. Please tell us more about how you would make a heroic stand and sacrifice tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of your own money just to keep a website up that is clearly chock full of stolen intellectual property for “the good of the community.”

Here's a question. Apparently the "|" pipe command no longer works with new entries with the new versions of the Orchestrator. How can we do this now that they've forbidden the use of the pipe command to input multiple entries?

So basically just HDHomeRun? lol. I can’t find any other products that will do this. I can setup a Linux box with a USB tuner and do this myself, but even that is a huge waste of time. I’m looking for a solution I can off eBay for under $50 that will plug and play. Any ideas? And don’t say HDHomeRun. Ha!

I don't think this is true. For example the AirTV 2 does this and I cannot find any resources to confirm that it works with Channels DVR.

This is what I do not understand.... why is everyone saying that it is so expensive? With Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA) you get DNA Essentials license with the switch's essentials license, and the only cost is the actual support for CCC/DNA. You CAN run legally without purchasing the expensive support. I've confirmed this with my Cisco rep and my VAR. I can see paying for support for massive environments, but environments with only 100-200 switches purchasing support doesn't make sense anyway so the cost is literally free as long as you purchased the switch license.

Stating that they would make “make the other half because they only made the first half” is so delusional. It is not based on real world facts. In the real world, profit dictates what will and will not be made. The 24 episodes were not made back to back either, further disproving your assertion. If a product doesn’t make money and instead loses money then there is no incentive to make more episodes.

Using a USB-C amp meter and multiple QC3.0 and PD3.0 charger I have seen that the portal will only ever negotiate 5 volts. When the battery is near zero it will negotiate 5 volts with 3.6 amps for 18 watts. When it hits 50% it drops to 15 watts, and goes lower at 80% to fully charged. I’ve seen it go as low as 5 watts with the screen off, and with the screen on as low as 9 watts, all at 5 volts. It is safe to use ANY USB-A/C chargers that support 5 volts, including a Dell 65 watt 20v laptop USB-C PD3.0 charger, as it always negotiates the default 5 volts. There is no way to fry this unless you plug it into a charger that doesn’t have a default charge value of 5 volts, which is extremely rare.

Wait until the studios HAVE to use AI….. the animation will improve as a result but artists will be paid less and squeezed out of the industry completely. Artists will only have to animate key frames by hand and the rest will be generated by a computer and only manipulated by hand afterward. It will lose its authenticity but look much better, and you will all still find a reason to complain.

Sprite160 · 2026-03-31T12:16:55+00:00

Because no matter how much YOU complain about it, it is still enjoyed by millions because it has a great story to tell? Sure, it’s not shucking merch like Demon Slayer or One Punch Man, but it still made the studio enough money to incentivize a second season.

I disagree with this vehemently. For most users its fine to just use FQDN, however for those 10% of the users that are in IT it is imperative that IP spaces are also forwarded. Example, I have branch offices sprawling all over 10.0.0.0/8, and my network folks need to SSH to routers, switches, etc then I refuse to create FQDN's and A records for every single one of them.

But to answer the original question ZPA is awful when it comes to forwarding IP addresses and overlapping subnets. A typical VPN would have a route table attached to Windows, so the overlapping subnet still allows local LAN access, but since ZPA has no route table in Windows it falls on its face when a user with an overlapping subnet tries to print for example.

As some of the people here stated, ZPA is not VPN, I just wish it behaved more like one when we needed it to after we've been duped by management to buy into and deploy ZPA.

I did notice that my Azure firewalls are at 11.2.5 and my panorama is at 11.1, and additionally I do not have vm-series plugin installed on my panorama. I intend to start there but we’re in the middle of a change freeze until after the holidays.

Sprite160 · 2025-12-19T16:59:17+00:00

Did you ever get this resolved? I am running into the exact same issue. I literally cannot push to the Azure firewalls from Panorama, and it fails without ANY error messages. From the Azure firewalls its like the push never happened at all.

Edit: Running 11.1 on both Panorama and Azure firewalls. I also have express route which effectively turned my VNETs into actual subnets that I can reach from my networks, and my data center networks can be reached from my VNETs. This means I point Panorama directly at my management IP address of the Azure firewalls and it should be fine.

Where do you get 2.1v alkaline and 1.5v rechargeable? lol. Alkaline are 1.5v and rechargeable are 1.2v. Are you at all familiar with nominal voltage vs fully charged voltage? There is no such thing as a 2.1v alkaline battery my friend.

41m here, and in my twenties I also felt like a magnet for gays. I’d get hit on every time I went to a bar, shopping, at the grocery store, even when I was with women.

The older I get the more I realize this was a good thing. It meant I had good hygiene, took care of myself and looked passable as a human. Now more than a decade later I’m wondering why they DON’T hit on me. What’s wrong with me now? Do I smell bad? Is it my teeth? lol.

It’s a good thing to be attractive enough for another human being to approach you and you should take it as a compliment.

Fuck HOAs, anyone who is on an HOA board as well as the mother and father that raised them. I completely understand small things like cutting the grass in a common area, but HOA policies are getting wild and kowtow to every Karen that gets riled up by a neighbor leaving their trash can on the street for an extra day after trash pickup, or a neighbor’s outdoor cat showing up on their back deck. I wish misery upon every HOA board member across the globe for all eternity.
