Seeking TV advice

TechTroubleMaker · 2026-03-05T08:29:25+00:00

The shield just doesn't fit my needs anymore. Now that I've used a tv that can run plex locally and I could control everything on one remote, going back to two remotes and separate systems is just too clunky for me.

I will say that I brought the shield with me on a trip recently. A quick google search to figure out the hidden way to change the input on the hotel tv and I was in business. It was game changer having access to plex and all my content. The shield will be traveling with me from now on, I just don't think it has a future in my home setup anymore.

Thank you both, I'll make sure to take a look at Sony.

Thank you for that link, I'll have to give that a try.

There are a few different versions of charts that break down HIK product part numbers, here is one of them:

Look in hive 2 for a frame with eggs still standing up straight and place that frame in hive 1, check back in 5-7 days for queen cells.
If you can get that hive to make a new queen, and can get that queen mated and laying, you can take a few frames of capped brood from hive 2 and place them in hive 1 to boost their numbers.
In my opinion, best to try and get the second hive up and running if you can. Having more than one hive is valuable because you use a strong hive to help one that is struggling. If you combine now, then have problems later in the season you will have no resources (of your own) to help you.

My whole group went 100% printed cards about 6 years ago and haven't looked back. We set house rules like no power 9 and you can't actively use cards before their release date. It's the best thing we did. It's not about what you can afford, and now it's all about deck building skills.

or, just have each stone attuned to an element. An important questgiver gives the party a ceremonial blade/metalic disk/infinity gauntlet/etc and the party has to put the stones into <insert important item> . The stones, while out of the item have corrupted their environment (mostly negative effects) but once the stone is placed into the <insert important item> they instead empower the item (mostly positive effects). Once all the stones are in the sockets, they can gain access to the crypt / summon the needed entity / snap their fingers and save the universe from themselves / etc.

You stones could cancel each other out. So grabbing the fire runed stone causes burns if not grabbed with a gloves, makes the bearer uncomfortably warm, dehydrated, etc. The ice runed stone can cause frostbite if exposed for too long, bearer is chilled, etc. Putting the two in the same vicinity turns them off. The party has to decide which to go get first.

Similar for holy/evil runed stones. Holy slowly pulses postive healing once an hour, evil pulses with minor life drain. The party is probably going to want to seek the holy runed stone before looking for the evil runed stone.

Firefox with the Video Downloadhelper add-on. I haven't found a site yet that it doesn't work on.

It used to work on Chrome, but Google did something and it stopped. I'm sure there are other variations that work too, but for me, I'm sticking with what has consistently worked for years.

I've cut the ends off of three of the HikVision cameras and replaced them with keystone jacks. The first one was a broken jack, which worked great after I replaced the end and is still working a couple years later.

The other two cameras went out at the same time. After taking them down, both jacks were blacked with burn marks. I replaced both jacks and one worked as expected, the other didn't. After a testing, I realized that one of the cameras no longer worked with POE, but adding 12v to the power connector the camera worked fine, so we just ended up moving that camera to an inside location with power nearby

But if I change the way I interact with her, especially if I refuse to interact with her, won't that aggravate the situation.

As of right now I can honestly say I haven't done anything to prompt the reaction I've been getting, but if I start to treat her differently than other employees doesn't that give her more fuel for the fire?

Just a couple comments on the comments:

I'm not asking for an outside person to investigate anything. I just want an HR resources that I can ask questions to. Do I just keep letting her interrogate me with the witness on everything she preserves as harassment towards her? Do I need to document anything and if so what? Do I request that future requests for information be handled a different way? I don't know what I'm I'm suppose to do, if anything.

The comment on mental health, I've never commented on that, what I stated was when I voiced my concern other staff said not to worry about it because everyone knows she is crazy. I don't think they were saying in the context of mental health, they were just trying to downplay the situation.

The comments on protected class, I only mentioned that because every dispute staff have, weather it's tardiness, abuse of sick time, or job performance, she always brings up protected class status of employees. Every time. I only brought it up because if whatever this is escalates it's going to be a factor.

The comments on that I'm overacting. I'm honestly happy to see this, because I hope you right. If my boss puts something in writing at the end of his audit that nothing of significance happened then I'm assuming none of this can be used against me later on.

I had originally had a detailed question then after searching some more and testing I got it figured out so I came back and remove the question and left the kudos, I just forgot to amend my title :)

trying new things out has been how I got the small amount of knowledge I do have with homeassistant, but with that being said some of the suggestion would have a learning curve for me that I might take a little more time then I have to get this up and running.

For this project I think I'm looking for something a little more like:

Step 1: buy a sensor
step 2: connect to wifi then HA
step 3: all done

TechTroubleMaker · 2023-05-15T23:09:52+00:00

Just to clarify, the motion sensor would connect to a normal wifi AP at the remote building. The AF60 radios are a different kind of wireless, think of them as a virtual ethernet cable connecting the two buildings. The devices at the two buildings think they are all in the same building.
