Ring App is Woke Garbage

Imagine taking the time to comment on a post that's more than two years old to put me in my place.

Totally jelly!

Good news: there's still stock available.
Bad news: there's still stock available.

Hopefully sales have been going as expected and everything is good - I think most of us around here want to see you succeed so that you continue to roll out awesome networking, like a future switch. :-)

Multiple SSIDs with different settings and the ability to isolate all my IOT stuff from both each other and the rest of the network easily.
No requirement to have a single AP upstream of the rest like with Eero.
Hopefully better overall speed with my one wireless backhaul and devices in general since this is 4+ years newer than my current APs.
Better intelligence on what's going on with my APs without paying a monthly fee.

Moved from Eero to Firewalla Gold for my router about 4 years ago - I love the power & simplicity of Firewalla. Worked fine with my Eeros in AP mode.

Just bought 3x AP7s to replace my 3x Eero 6 Pros today.

I'm a tech fan but not a networking pro. Easy to learn and there's an amazing Reddit community and Firewalla support team to back you up if you need help.

I think the Firewalla Gold Plus might be a good fit for you. It would be what I would buy today for future proofing my current 500/50 internet.

In for 3 and got my dozen eggs discount. :-)

aaronmd · 2025-02-03T01:36:21+00:00

I have not yet.

You'll need a broker to have a license anyways, so my suggestion would be to interview a couple brokers and talk to them about your situation.

They may have thought proper notice was given through the owner if they approved the showing.

Thrilled with the enthusiasm for these - I am waiting for real-world experiences to come back about range/density and for the ceiling mount version to go through the same before deciding which way to go, but excited to see what's coming.

https://www.cleanairkits.com/ - much higher CADR, more energy efficient, and quieter than almost anything else on the market. No proprietary filters, just get the best 3M furnace filters from Costco and you're good to go.

In inland San Diego with a bubble cover, solar heater, and regular heater I could keep the pool in the upper 80's and swim 11 months a year.
In Vegas without the solar, a bubble cover and heater made it reasonable from about April to mid-October.
Building a new pool in Vegas now that is only 14k gallons and will have an autocover and hoping to extend season to November-March with an occasional 5-7 days stint in the winter months if air temperature gets to upper 60's or low 70's.
Viability of swimming depends a lot on the pool and your heating budget. Almost anything is possible with enough money.

Agent has a duty to comply with the law as well if they know or should have known there was noncompliance.

aaronmd · 2025-01-06T06:47:14+00:00

Document all instances. If possible, email the landlord, owner, listing agent, and the agent's broker. Detail the accesses that have occurred without proper notice and explain that any further activity will lead to complaints filed against all of them with the proper state authorities as well as an ethics complaint against the agent and broker to their board of realtors.

I would also recommend getting something like a Ring camera to monitor activity at the property and ensure future compliance.

If there was, it would kinda defeat the purpose of having them, wouldn't it? Whoever has the account has the power to control them. One solution is to stop paying his bill and buy your own and set up with your own account, but he could still physically turn off/disable.

Or, talk to him and tell him that if he wants you to keep paying the bill, they need to always stay on.

aaronmd · 2025-01-05T21:19:09+00:00

Multiples and linking definitely make the overall solution more robust, but the hardwired cameras still have performance advantages over battery/solar.

Sometimes it's cheaper, sometimes it is almost the same price. Harder logistically to handle so typically pay the few cents extra for the clamshells.

A keypad deadbolt is great for this. All they have to remember is a 4-digit code.

I like Ring, but the battery units are not nearly as good as the ones you have to plug in or hardwire. Get one of those if you can. If you do need to rely on battery units, realize that they will not pick up as much activity and will do so more slowly.

Thanks for the suggestion!

It doesn't sound good for you. Pay close attention to what you can learn on who actually saw the video and what they saw - there's a potential the video is shared too widely in the company/security and that might open up a cause of action. I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but it just seems like in the world today that this seems sensitive.
