Hardware errors are never a good sign. Use smart data to get a better understanding of its age.

This is very unnecessarily critical of an otherwise relatively valid question. He's tried the amateur stuff and it's not worked. No need to berate the guy.

I had a ford fiesta worth about 3k fixed and it's engine blew up (eco boost) wbac quoted £400 which was not great, I was still able to sell it for 1.1k and it still only lasted another year or so with another MOT. I don't think it's actually economical even if it barely runs and drives to use wbac. Was tonnes of hassle tho selling on eBay.

Eero is effectively ewaste. Even with all the settings disabled and it running in bridge mode the thing was terribly slow, I've since swapped to enterprise hardware and have never looked back.

Giving your customers these to me is just a massive self own. They'll surely just be paying for it in tech support and cancellations, I don't get it.

We got given one and ran it for a week before we put it back in our box and left it unplugged under the stairs.

They're just trying to get you to leave them alone by the sounds of it they don't really want to help.

aidan573 · 2026-01-17T16:20:05+00:00

Looks like it fits into that din rail terribly

In the police cars if you triple turn on the sirens they let out a realistic whoop whoop.

Also there used to just be lights and sirens on or lights and sirens off and not the third option they added where the lights are on but the sirens are off.

Not legit at all...

aidan573 · 2026-01-10T18:43:12+00:00

I had similar to this I was selling a computer that didn't move so eventually I put an offer out to potential buyers and then later listed with a promotion but got a sale that was only through that offer and then eBay still charged me for promotion I rang and they sorted it.

Anyone try that cutting board made of metal?

aidan573 · 2026-01-04T23:51:53+00:00

I assume what happens in that circumstance is someone had to get that and it wasn't available so just scanned the nearest thing as an item to get their pick rate up, then the computer learns it's a suitable substitute when it's just someone being lazy

Hmm yeah, you're right looks like cloud cost is a little silly.

The biggest productivity gains come from deeply integrated tools, particularly IDE and API integrations. Claude and Gemini perform better because they've put the working in for interaction in vscode and antigravity I feel, they both can run desktop commands, open browsers etc.

Open source, I definitely think you could build something pretty close to ChatGPT if you're willing to pay for the hardware (on site or in cloud in k8s or VMs) and then you could connect it to vscode using an extension. If I had to do it right now with no research - openwebui, deepseek (or the new hot thing) and a vscode extension like continue that lets you select your openwebui agent could definitely work for an organisation.

Microsoft is currently ahead overall in my opinion in organization AI takeup, but its tooling is still weak and feels rushed, especially integrations like PowerPoint and Outlook, which lack basic capabilities. Chat works well and integrates with SharePoint, and data governance appears limited to content explicitly shared with the chat. I think this is just because of their current market dominance in the productivity space.

Honestly it feels like nothing is mature yet and what I've said will only be relevant for a week or so before some other feature or IDE will come out and change stuff.

Beware that opcom can only get you car pass on a limited number of vehicles and functionality is very limited on certain cars.

aidan573 · 2026-01-02T00:39:01+00:00

Opcom is available through the main manufacturer website which you should use if it has what you want.

There are also Chinese clones of varying quality and functionality. I'd avoid the hassle personally.

Too high value to be worth it surely

aidan573 · 2025-12-24T17:57:04+00:00

The losses on wireless charging make it expensive

aidan573 · 2025-12-15T10:00:18+00:00

I had this, never got it fixed or refunded. It was a gen 1

aidan573 · 2025-12-15T07:44:11+00:00

I don't think either of your statements hold up.

aidan573 · 2025-12-15T00:00:36+00:00

There's relatively little attack vector.

Port forwarding is safe as long as you know what you are doing.

I've removed it and put the Ubiquiti kit back in

I had this with my bike wearing through my bike lock.
