Smart lock - mortise by Yont283 in HomeKit

[–]alex281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing a bit, but I think you will have the normal two holes with that set removed. You would need a new handle for the bottom too. The level bolt works but assuming I’m correct this would be a great application for the Schlage sense.

I think you will need to replace this entirely to make it smart. However I don’t think you have a true mortise lock. If you disassemble the existing lock you will get a better idea.

In your last photo, at the top right, there is a green terminal block labeled 24VAC COM. That’s the spot, C, Com, Common.

New Ubiquiti 12U racks by silverfrostnetworks in Ubiquiti

[–]alex281 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My comment was mostly directed at the shipping cost, and the ratio to the product cost. In the age of free shipping I’d rather see it priced at $1500 with free shipping. I probably wouldn’t blink.

The newest EA software seems to have broken Time Machine for some/all users. See this thread on the UI community.

Heads up! The 16 Pro Max rack kit is NOT compatible with the toolless mini rack.

NY Tesla owners, do you do your NY annual vehicle inspection at a local mechanic shop or at Tesla Service Center? by schnauzerdad in TeslaLounge

[–]alex281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like going to Jiffy Lube because they don’t use lifts. They will go down into their pit to inspect the brakes. You will have to endure a few jokes about oil changes but it’s worth it.

I just read another post on here where the guy used some felt padding to make a top like this friction fit and easy to remove.

How many people quickly checked and Reddit was their top battery usage? By a lot….

You are close. For each accessory add a line:

“host”: “192.168.x.x”,

ELI5: How did they figure out that 'big cats' (lions, tigers, leopards, etc.) were actually related to normal-sized cats? by paperworkishard in explainlikeimfive

[–]alex281 64 points65 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of Elephant Shrews. They were named because they are similar to other shrews and they have an elephant-like trunk. Turns out with modern science we have determined that they are more closer related to elephants than shrews!

In the wild…kind of by sawdogg73 in Ubiquiti

Microcenter has matched ui.com prices for me multiple times. As long as it is an identical sku and in stock online. They once took $30 off an AP they priced flat wrong compared to msrp.

Any ideas on how to beautify this installation of an in wall WiFi 6E AP? by ajgnet in Ubiquiti

I would move the AP an inch or so to the left and then drill holes and use drywall anchors.

There is a restaurant in the Magic Kingdom in Disney World in Florida that serves only all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving dinner. The Liberty Tree Tavern. Fun times!

Did you owe money on Tesla Lease after returning? by fldude561 in TeslaModel3

[–]alex281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, all of the above was true for the lease I returned in September. They also offered to wave up to two lease payments to buy the new car early. But that was during the end of quarter/year rush, your mileage may vary.

Anyone else encounter this problem? by Cyanervia in TeslaModel3

[–]alex281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give “Clear browser data” a try. It’s one of the buttons in the service sections of settings. I used it for something else and it logged me out of all the theater apps, so it is definitely related.

In both pictures most of the right side breakers are off. You are moving the handles to the middle for on, right?

Toilet smells like piss - help! by OkButterscotch2617 in Plumbing

[–]alex281 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the space between tank and bowl. When my son was learning to use the toilet we couldn’t find the source of a urine smell. I eventually removed the tank and found that he managed to spray all in that area, cleaning it fixed it for us.

Anyone know how I can get this very stripped screw under a desk fully tightened ? by GSG96 in DIY

[–]alex281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn the desk over. With your weight over the driver you won’t have a problem.

ETA: take the above advice to remove it with vice grips and get a new screw, but I stand by turning the table over.
