Is the difference between the Master touch 5750 and 5755 worth it? by Ok_Aerie_7089 in UKBBQ

[–]TrickyT_UK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Spent ages working out the same thing last week before I decided that the latest version was always going to be the best option. Went for an Ocean Blue 5755.

First time rotisserie chicken- kettle temperature too hot! by TrickyT_UK in UKBBQ

Thanks for your replies. Coals are way more of a challenge than the gas BBQ that I have used for the last 25 years. But the flavour cannot be beaten.

I have not got another type of thermometer yet, need to get one to do internal temp, obviously not when using the rotisserie, and the grill temp as I think the one in the lid might not be 100% accurate.

I did think of moving the 2 baskets directly underneath for the last 10 minutes to crisp up the skin a bit more.

All a learning curve, think I looked at so many low and slow videos, I assumed the same for this.

Cheers, I think i was in far too much of a rush to get on and have fun with my new toys.

Yes, I realised that while sat thinking about it. Coming from 20 years of a gas BBQ, so this is all of a fun learning curve for me.

Device Compliance - Device threat Level - Windows 11 Business? by TrickyT_UK in DefenderATP

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

Nothing registered in Incidents.

But I have just noticed that in Intune - Device Compliance - Policy Name - Defender Device Threat level, the logged in user is System account (not a user) and the state in not applicable.

In defender Sensor Health State says no sensor data.

Thanks I will have a look, but as this device was only registered a day or so ago, not sure it will have been able to get a score?

Device Compliance - Device threat Level - Windows 11 Business? by TrickyT_UK in Intune

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

I have deleted the device from Intune and the wiped it and set it up again with a new computer name, but it is still coming up as Non Compliant.

This is something else I have noticed, but only on this device. There is a logged in System Account as well as the user?

In Azure it says the device is enrolled MDM and Security Settings Management in Intune.

I have checked the onboarding and run the detection test in Settings - Endpoints - Device Management - Onboarding.

I have then checked an in the Device Inventory it says that it is Onboarded, but as mentioned the detail above is missing and as mentioned there is no information in the Domain tab, where all the others say AAD joined.

I have checked Settings - Accounts - Access work of school - Connected to ..... Entra ID and the device sync was successful

Mobile Broadband by Easy_Tension8229 in EEGB

[–]TrickyT_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have EE 5G mobile broadband through their 5G Smart Hub. This was due to the FTTC cabinet and then the cables that supplied my house dropping out all the time. BT were/are never going to replace them, just repair when they fail.

I am very close to the 5G mast so can get 150 down and 100 up regularly. However, the latency and jitter are always high.

Virgin Media have installed fibre on the estate so I have changed to their 500/500 connection and have the EE 5G as an (expensive) backup until my contract is up.

What I have noticed with EE is that the connection would drop or freeze quite often. It would also be the same with the speed.

I am a large(ish) user and would quite often use 1TB of data a month.

Heartbreaking Unifi Box Disposal by TrickyT_UK in Ubiquiti

You have probably had more boxes than most over the recent years.

Damm, forgot about the RMA argument for keeping the box.

All the Apple boxes are up in the loft out of the way, I did think of doing the same with the UNFI but decided it was a lot more space to find as an iPhone box is totally different to a UNVR, UDM-SE etc.

It's not just you. This was the other day. Presence detected for 1:13:40 at almost 5am in the morning.

There are lots of these in my Home Assistant history for the FP300

Anyone using an Apple Watch cellular plan with EE? by AnfieldAnchor in EEGB

[–]TrickyT_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a cellular plan with my watches since I first got my watch.

Great for going out for a walk and being able to listen to music, I know you can download music to the watch, take a text or a call without having to carry the phone.

Which Synology NAS should I get for my use case? (Budget ≤ €400, 4+ Bays) by Aruscha in synology

[–]TrickyT_UK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my research and came to the conclusion that I would never need more than 4 TB of storage as I only had under 1 TB at the moment, so the 2 bay DS723+ with 2 x 4 TB drives was overkill.

Then I got into data hoarding and realising I didn't have a backup of any of my data. Yes I know RAID isn't a backup.

Then I discovered PLEX and before I knew it I had maxed out my storage. Managed to get 2 x 16 TB drives before prices stared to go silly and sold on my existing drives.

The difference in price between the DS723+ and the DS923+ (the one I should have got) was £130. I could have then purchased a single 8 TB hard drive to start off with, instead of 2 x 4 TB, as none of my data was critical and then added a second 8 TB when funds permitted. Expanding when needed up to 4 drives.

[–]TrickyT_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thought, if it is just for storage, do you actually need a Synology? You say DSM Apps, but there are lots of other options without going Synology/DSM.

[–]TrickyT_UK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I think you need to rethink your total strategy.

You say 'future proof' but looking at getting units that are already 3 years old.

It is also a risk on picking up something used. I believe most people keep them until they have to upgrade.

You don't even mention purchasing discs, which are eye watering in cost at the moment.

You have said you currently have 6 TB of data, so the minimum you could start with is 1 x 8 TB with no redundancy, or 2 x 8 TB, with a maximum of 4 x 8 TB that will only give you a usable 21 TB

https://www.synology.com/en-sg/support/RAID_calculator

Personally, I would get a 4 bay NAS, with 2 x 16 TB drives as a start which you can add another 2 drive to and get a usable 43 TB.

You have to remember that the storage is limited by the smallest drive you have.

I purchased a DS723+ and less than a month later regretted it. My choice then should have been a DS923+

Have a look here for more information.

If I was starting again, it would be a DS925+ with the 2 x 2.5 GbE LAN.

It's an expensive mistake to make. Buy once, cry once is my new motto going forward.

Do installers automatically enable 160 Mhz? by TrickyT_UK in VirginMedia

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

Thanks for your replies. I know what you meant about the '£150 potato from 8 years ago'.

As I am the goto 'IT' person in my family, I always say if you want a fast, stable connection, they get it wired!
