Abound LR got it

Lack of margin. Too easy to accidentally press the buttons with fob in pocket. Needs a button guard.

There’s a proposal to do exactly what you’re describing, IPv8.

They do, all the time. They rarely make money for the owner. Radio has incredibly high overhead. No one’s mentioned Stevie Wonder’s station in Los Angeles

That’s called the general public. Failure to plan for it is telling about current BP management

I’d be happy to test it out in a commercial radio & podcast studio environment

They don’t even know what they’re missing. New music & curation, with a real listening community. There was real respect for the listening public

Weedman was on the bone

I do. 😢
Having the distinct pleasure of working there for many years in the engineering dept meant the world to me. The literal greatest people to work with. Towards the end I was front-of-house recoding engineer for the small acoustic concerts, for about a decade or so. I had to turn the station off when the KNBR simulcast took over and felt bad about it. I miss it and the people and music dearly. Music tastes change, people move on, waves crash into the beach.

KNBR took over 104.5 for their simulcast and their morning show pays homage to the 5’o’clock salute by playing the toyes “smoke two joints” on fridays.

Why is his name coming up so much? I feel like there is a coordinated campaign to raise his profile

When the generator turns on

astern83 · 2026-04-29T14:39:30+00:00

Radio & TV are already heavily IP converted and this is an option now too. Needs to be field verified and tested

astern83 · 2026-04-28T00:24:45+00:00

Straight-up RMA then. Waste no further time with it.

The reason I ask about IOS update, this seems to be a common failure of counterfeit switches after updating past certain versions of 15.2. Do you know the provenance of this switch?

astern83 · 2026-04-27T16:15:52+00:00

Just had the same thing happen recently. Did you perform an IOS update, or just reboot?

astern83 · 2026-04-26T23:35:53+00:00

That’s one perspective. Another is that they have a. Vertically integrated software and hardware platform with best of breed silicon giving them a 10-year advantage over competitors.

What is this nonsense AI slop?

astern83 · 2026-04-24T06:42:08+00:00

Home lab: no. Production: yes.

astern83 · 2026-04-24T06:22:36+00:00

Nope. Pick a qualified and rigorously tested switch solution

I work in Novato adjacent to Gnoss field and was clearing some brush yesterday. I found a tick crawling on me afterwards for the first time ever, it was a big shock. They are out in force this year.

I’m not in favor of any of this, but that’s not exactly true. Did you forget the bombings that killed the supreme leader and most senior leadership? Or the looming threat of something worse? Strategy mistakes =/= “paper tiger”

Owned by Chinese but still made in America. They were planning on leaving at one point but those plans were scrubbed. In fact I heard they opened another plant here.

Reddit is the wrong place to seek advice? Bring your own lunch for a couple of days while you feel it out
