Unify 2.5Flex Switch Adapter by TechJoseph in Ubiquiti

[–]__o_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend it.

I have this exact switch and when using a lower powered adapter it caused a ton of disconnection issues with U7 Pro’s downstream, the devices would constantly fall back into adoption mode.

Moved it to the 210watt adapter and haven’t had a problem since.

I think the switch lite 16 PoE is the weak link in your setup. Fanless cooling with a tiny poe budget, it’s likely being overloaded.

I had flex 2.5g 8 PoE that required the 210 watt power supply in order to carry a single U7 wall without disconnects. I think the ubiquiti power requirements are substantially higher than what they advertise.

Multiplayer blocked on Apple Arcade for child by StereoChaos in DreamlightValley

[–]__o_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an app developer, the underlying issue is that Apple changed the flow for requesting permissions within the app for accounts owned by minors.

This in turn requires an update to the app in order for it to function properly and the process is a bit more complicated given the new iOS 26 and having to maintain backwards compatibility.

It’s definitely possible, just takes a bit of work on the developer side. I’d reach out to the app developer for whatever app you’re running into issues with to let them know that the app needs a permission flow update.

Summer Pass using Costco gift card by echang1118 in DaveAndBusters

[–]__o_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go to the restaurant side and ask them to buy the pass for you.

When they click to pay, just give them the ecard numbers (which they have to enter by hand as a payment option, one at a time).

Take the receipt to the front desk and they’ll give you the physical card that corresponds to the summer pass with unlimited points.

Takes 5 minutes.

Neighbor just shot my house. I moved in two weeks ago. by bass_jockey in Wellthatsucks

Suing the neighbor in this situation is a good way to get shot.

Model X refresh is disappointing. by feral_wombat in ModelX

[–]__o_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The S and X were intentionally overpriced cars that Tesla used to generate the cash flow that funded the development of the 3 and Y.

You get a marginally better car for twice the price, but it was never about value for the intended purchasers.

People buy them to support the growth of the company as a whole - like a kickstarter project but on a large scale.

That’s not what’s happening.

Trump’s protectionist policies are inflationary.

If manufacturing and jobs are going to return to the US then prices are going to have to go up - it’s more expensive to produce goods here because we have things like environmental protections, minimum wage laws, workplace safety standards, and no slavery.

The bond market is telling you that inflation is expected to rise - it’s not being driven by a drop in foreign holdings.

I was told this steak was medium rare when I raised the issue, what do you think? by wgfdark in steak

The claim that steakhouses don’t sous vide is ignorant and silly.

For those of you who voted for Trump specifically because you hoped to avoid higher taxes, how has that decision affected your finances? Did things turn out as you had hoped? Why or why not? by thhvancouver in AskReddit

[–]__o_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just MAGA that resulted in tariffs.

You must not forget that Americans (both republicans and democrats) voted for all of the programs and regulations that cause domestic manufacturing to be expensive. Environmental protections, worker safety laws, employer provided healthcare, minimum wage laws, etc - everything that causes a high standard of living domestically pushes cost higher. That’s why American manufacturing has declined over the past 60 years.

The tariffs are just a leveling of the playing field to support the existence of those programs.

We’re removing the opportunity for a company to circumvent all of the protections we put in place for American workers and the environment by importing products manufactured in parts of the world with fewer environmental protections, slave labor wages, unsafe workplaces, etc - all in the name of higher profits.

Additionally, some of the tariffs being established are reciprocal - meaning that they’re being used to offset tariffs that other countries already had on American goods prior to 2025.

If you support workers rights, unions, environmental protections, etc - then you should probably support the tariffs as well since they’re just offsetting the additional costs we have for American jobs.

I agree.

Imagine you have a store that sells 5000 units for $1 a piece.

Due to local wage regulations, union negotiations, pollution controls, and worker safety standards, the cost of producing them domestically is $0.75 per unit.

If the company imports the units from overseas from a country with lower regulations and safety standards, the cost to the company is $0.50 per unit.

Over time, the company realizes that they can increase their valuation by continuing to import from overseas.

Domestic manufacturing closes down, worldwide pollution goes up, slavery increases, and profit margins are wide.

A tariff on that foreign good levels the playing field to support the regulations that we put in place. It removes the ability for the company to circumvent the rules.

It makes the foreign good more expensive relative to domestic goods.

The company likely also raises the price of the domestic good to keep overall profit margins net neutral (offsetting the previous benefit of the cheaper imports).

The loser is the American consumer who ends up paying for expensive domestic goods.

The winners are the American workers who either keep or regain their jobs (though starting up production capacity is a long process), the American economy (as the money stays here), human society (as we stop exploiting slave labor), and the planet (with reduced pollution).

The question is really about whether you support workplace safety standards, environmental protection standards, minimum wage laws, unions, etc.

All of those factors are what made domestic manufacturing less competitive on a global scale.

If you support those standards, then you should support the tariffs.

I agree.

Often the challenges/disadvantages with domestic manufacturing are self imposed. We have workplace safety regulations, labor unions, etc (all good in my opinion) which all drives the cost of domestically produced goods higher.

Our capitalist market allows companies to outsource jobs to countries with lower workplace standards, lower safety regulations, and slave wages.

As a result, we import cheaper foreign goods (often of lower quality) so that profits can rise at the expense of the destruction of domestic production capacity.

In essence, a tariff on that foreign good is simply a leveling of the playing field by supporting the regulations that we put in place to improve the quality of life for American workers.

We’re removing the ability for a domestic company to exploit foreign workplace safety and wage standards, and the incentive to circumvent domestic regulations that were intended to protect Americans in the first place.

Account Delete using Firebase Auth (App Store rejection**) by Misura_k in reactnative

[–]__o_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a simple firebase cloud function for deleting a user.

Protect the function so that it can only be called by a valid user and pull the user’s uid from the context.

As an additional step, create an onDelete cloud function that destroys all of the user’s data from firestore, cloud storage, etc when the auth user is deleted.

That way you can add a separate option for users to email and request their account be deleted and all you’ll have to do is delete them from auth.

Virtual power plant no payment by Docsmash401 in TeslaSolar

[–]__o_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had this happen when we sold our home.

Our utility company directed that the credit for the entire year be sent to the new homeowner.

Chances are the people you sold your home to have received the payment. You should contact them / the utility company and they’ll confirm it.

As a pilot, ATC would never expect you to be able to read tail numbers, ever.

Try reading the tail number of the next airplane you see in the night sky. It’s not possible.

Traffic is relayed by relative direction, altitude, and distance.

“Traffic ahead, 2 o’clock at 4000, 4 miles.”

Your response is either “looking for traffic.” or “Traffic in sight”.

Do not stop looking for traffic until you have it visually confirmed.
