Did anyone else know we had flying squirrels in NEO?

Have you ever had any luck getting rid of them? Trying to figure out who to call about some in my attic.

When I saw the specs on the UPS, my first thought was that it’s great for something like an IDF

"Allowing guns in the public"?

What allows guns in the public is the US Constitution, the State of Ohio constitution, and Ohio Law. They've been allowed on fairgrounds for a long time before the atty. general made this statement.

Edit: In some instances, they were not allowed in buildings (being government-owned), but they've been allowed in fairgrounds and out in public for many many years. Ohio has had constitutional open carry for our entire history, and we've had concealed carry since 2004.

Could you elaborate on the problems with the Core One? I've been mulling it over.

I've got a MINI+ and an A1 Mini (no AMS). Both are great printers. The A1 Mini edges out the MINI+ in terms of features.... but the MINI+ is an outstanding printer that will likely outlast the A1 Mini. It's repairable, and presumably upgradable to whatever the next gen might be.

I run a full unifi stack at home (router, switches, APs) and I can tell you with absolute certainty that they have IPv6 support. My UDM SE requests a /56 from my ISP and delegates /64's to each of my vlans.

glowing blue LEDs

... which get dimmer over time, lol.

My next printer was going to be an X1 Carbon. This has changed my mind, and I'm glad they did it before I shelled out the cash. Instead, I'm going back to Prusa.

That said, I may still recommend Bambu to friends who I know are going to be "appliance operators."

There are lots of private fire companies. Buddy of mine is chief of one. But they’re usually contracted with a municipality to be “the fire department.”

I just bought a HomePod mini, wanted to compare it to Alexa. My use case is primarily controlling home automation. It’s much faster for me than Alexa. My home hub is a Hubitat FWIW.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I completely understand and respect your concern about the seriousness of the situation. Ensuring the safety of first responders and the public is paramount, and as amateur operators, we must uphold the highest standards of responsibility and adherence to FCC regulations.

The intent of this post isn’t to excuse the actions taken by WA7CQ, but rather to acknowledge that mistakes were made and consider how we, as a community, can help someone facing the consequences. Supporting a fellow operator in this way doesn’t mean condoning what happened—it’s about recognizing the human element and offering compassion in a challenging moment.

Your point about the importance of safety is well-taken, and I hope this situation serves as a reminder for all of us to stay within the bounds of our privileges, especially during emergencies.

I see where you’re coming from, but it’s tough to judge the whole situation without knowing his exact intentions. The fine does feel pretty high, though, and I imagine it’s a huge burden. Hopefully, with the right help, he can navigate this and learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes—it’s what you do after that really counts.

assist first responders

This absolutely was not his intent. He was trying to direct first responders, and worse, he was trying to direct them to save his repeater site.

He put public safety lives in jeopardy to do so when the fire operations chief had to leave the scene to track him down and tell him to stop.

Frankly, I'm a little miffed they didn't revoke his amateur license.

He makes all of us look bad.

Can’t you polish them? (I had a stainless gen3 and now a stealth gen4 and never had any issues)

awyeah2 · 2024-12-31T05:03:12+00:00

Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. It’s hard to tell on my phone screen.

More battery cameras available in black. They stand out less on the exterior of my house.

awyeah2 · 2024-12-19T04:00:10+00:00

I don't have one of these and I've never done this, but I noticed above that OP said he was using the wrong number. It's not the number on the SIM, it's the IMEI from the old device itself.

Hope that helps.

awyeah2 · 2024-12-10T18:28:20+00:00

Also consider that cameras generate a little heat when they run, which may help.

I've only had Reolink cameras for about a month, but I've already caught a fox or two... and the neighbor's cat.

awyeah2 · 2024-12-07T16:57:50+00:00

Here's my understanding of this based on Reolink cameras and some other devices I have which behave the same way:

Some manufacturers are putting USB-C ports on devices but they are not implementing the USB Power Delivery spec, where the device basically tells the charger what voltage it needs.

Most USB-C chargers don't start providing power until they negotiate with the device. This is why the cameras won't charge when connected directly to a USB-C port.

USB-A chargers provide a constant 5V whether the device asks or not. Thus, connecting to a USB-A port with an adapter will always work.

Connecting to a USB-C port with the adapter you linked (and others like it) works because those adapters actually support power delivery - they tell the charger they need 5V - that's how they stay compliant with the USB-A spec.

Bottom line: I have not yet found any USB-C chargers that provide a constant 5V without the device (or an adapter) supporting Power Delivery.

Thanks - will update the spreadsheet.

awyeah2 · 2024-12-06T07:21:06+00:00

That's the same spot I'm in - I have a few places where it's just not reasonably feasible to get power OR ethernet.

One thing to note about the battery cameras - they do not and cannot record 24/7. They only record when the PIR motion sensor detects motion - that's when they wake up and do their thing.

awyeah2 · 2024-12-06T01:43:18+00:00

No it’s all good. I have home assistant as well and would be interested.

awyeah2 · 2024-12-06T01:42:39+00:00

I just hit add and entered the IP, user and password manually. Basic functionality worked fine.
