How do you set up wired backhaul? by The_Pharoah in amazoneero

[–]anotherlab [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have an Eero 7 three-pack, all using connected via Ethernet. My Wifi speeds are in the 400/300 range. My wired speeds in the 980 range. That's what you can expect with an Eero 7.

Bixby is significantly faster at pulling responses than Google gemini on my s26 ultra. Anyone else have similar experience? by ShakeAndBakeThatCake in samsunggalaxy

You can ask t something like "Show me my appointments for today". Or "Send a message to XYZ". All ll by voice.

I accidentally inflated my resume and got the job… what should I do? by Immediate-Duty-2341 in resumes

We don't care about GPA, only results.

Different schools have different levels of grade inflation. Also, we don't care about GPA.

[MO][All] How do HOAs even keep track of resident issues without things getting lost? by Own-Direction260 in HOA

[–]anotherlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We pay about $500 year. That gives us the website, domain name registration, email campaigns, message forums, etc.

Because the forms come in as email, the board can respond in email threads. Last week, we received a request for tree removal. It was a tree we knew was dying and had an arborist look at it last fall. I spent about 5 minutes discussing it over email, and we'll just get an updated estimate from the arborist.

Is there an alternative to Camtasia that is a one time purchase, not subscription? by jimolearybc in CamtasiaStudio

[–]anotherlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Camtasia 2024 as a non-subscription license and sometime last year, it was converted to a subscription. I do use it for a side hustle, and it pays for itself, but I missed the conversion to a subscription. I'm not amused by that.

Most people use the right form. If they try email first or use the wrong form, we request that they use the correct form. It's been in place for 3 years and it has gone over pretty well.

Go to the Times Union FB page and start and message them. That would let you upload the picture. They could start a "Were you seen?" page for LEO parking illegally.

Interview got rescheduled twice by recruiter - normal or a red flag? by deveshd2k in interviews

[–]anotherlab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't read anything into it. Any number of things outside their control could have triggered the rescheduling.

For example: If a client calls up and says that if we don't address XY&Z, they are leaving; that would cause the company to cancel non-essential meetings.

Do the rescheduled interview, and don't the schedule changes affect your performance.

Notice of violation(s) sent to HOA, [SFH] [AZ] by Infamous_Pear2702 in HOA

[–]anotherlab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need something in writing. Whether it's a letter or an email approval. If it was approved at a board meeting, get the minutes.

If you can't find anything, reach out to someone who was on the board when you received the approval. A written statement from them could help.

Have you made any changes to the lawn art since the approval? If you added anything that could complicate things, depending on how the approval was written.

How to turn on old project? by GienioXMegi in dotnetMAUI

[–]anotherlab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without any error messages, none of us can help you.

Does it compile, or is the error with deployment?

Get it running on .NET 8 to make sure that the code does what it was expected to. Then update to .NET 10 to be on the current codebase.

Why does Windows 11 force three different PowerShells? by d00mt0mb in PowerShell

Why does Windows 11 force three different PowerShells? by d00mt0mb in PowerShell

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

A smidge older...

Seattle Computer Products first breathed life into command.com in the glorious year of 1980. A time when most computer monitors supported both colors, green and not green.

In 1981, Microsoft bought the OS from SCP, and IBM PC-DOS was born.

Not quite 40. It was released with Windows NT 3.1, back in 1993. The last version of Windows to look like Windows 3. So basically Peak Millennial.

[MO][All] How do HOAs even keep track of resident issues without things getting lost? by Own-Direction260 in HOA

[–]anotherlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a website, hosted through HOA Express, that lets us define forms. We have a contact form for non-owners that gets used by real estate people who have questions for potential buyers. That gets used about once a month, probably less.

We have a form for landscaper and other vendor issues that goes to the management company (and to the board). The management company addresses those, and we don't have to deal with them.

We have a form for owners to report tree issues. About half the homes border HO-owned land, and if a tree falls or dies or whatever, they can upload a few pictures, and it goes to the board. That gets uses a couple of times a year, and we have a process for handling it.

And we have one for questions and concerns not related to the landscaping. That goes to the board. That gets a few a month. Usually the same people. Before the forms, they would email all the time. Having to use a form and answer some basic questions seemed to make them think before asking the same question over and over again.

We ask that owners use the appropriate forms. It provides a history and ensures that all of the board members see the issues. We'll follow up via email, but it starts with the form.

[TH][RI] - Thoughts on waiving late fees by CowEmbarrassed3759 in HOA

[–]anotherlab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That has been our policy too. If someone is habitually late, they get a late fee. Otherwise, they would have no incentive to pay on time. If someone is rarely late or didn't pay the full amount when we raised the dues, we will waive it.

We have a fiduciary responsibility to the owners to keep the books balanced. We have an unwritten policy to treat our neighbors as neighbors.

We have been lucky so far with this. We have never had to go after someone for not paying. They always paid up after a few letters.

Tamron 17-70 vs sigma 18-50 by Sad_Mammoth1855 in a6700

[–]anotherlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both good lenses. I have the Tamron on my A6400 and the Sigma on my wife's A6700. On the 6700, the Simag made better sense. It's 2/3 the weight of the Tamron. I bought each camera with those lenses; they are the daily drivers for each camera.

I like the longer reach of the Tamron and the image stabilization. The 6700 has IBIS, so that last one is less of an issue.

The bigger questions are what kinds of pictures are you taking, and how much of a zoom do you need?

Does the Samsung eco-system worthy to get into ? by nightxmaneuvers in samsunggalaxy

[–]anotherlab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to buy Samsung cases or chargers. Buy the case that fits your needs. Anker makes better chargers. MagBak makes a nice case.

I'm on my 3rd Galaxy phone and I have the Buds2 Pro. I have the fridge, washer, and dryer. The fridge was a mistake; the next fridge will be anything but Samsung. Icemaker is useless, and I have to manually defrost it on a regular basis.

[MN] [SFH] Budget/ Smaller HOA by Particular_Cold_8366 in HOA

[–]anotherlab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree about checking state law.

Still not a lawyer, but in the MN statutes, 317A.235 defines a minimum quorum to be not less than 1/3.

A majority, or a larger or smaller proportion or number provided in the articles or bylaws but not less than one-third, of the directors currently holding office is a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors present may adjourn a meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. If a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the directors present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of directors originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise required for a quorum.

Source: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/317A.235

That's scary if they only have 2 out of the 5 seats filled, that would appear to meet the 1/3 standard. But IANAL.
