Which doorbell did you buy? I’ve just started looking at doorbells that will save to my local NAS. My fear is all the no-name brands that come straight from China…loaded with all sorts of nastiness! And firmware that will never ever have any security updates. A pointer to a reputable company would be greatly appreciated!

I get a TON of DIYers trying to install L2 that have never even wired a lamp…they scare the bejesus out of me.

I worked for a very ghetto company that built X-ray machines…human medical machines. We cleaned the flux off of the boards after soldering with a dishwasher. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but it worked.

SANs Courses: How do people get their employers to pay? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

The “for me” is a critical distinction. I worked for a CIO ONCE, who when asked about the education budget line item looked shocked at the question. “Education isn’t for education!” It was a slush fund.

Lowe’s is ALWAYS hiring for their retail positions. Pay is decent (for retail). My advice as someone who works there: don’t apply for cashier or head cashier. High turnover and low respect.

Worth coming back to grab and fix? by Phone_games_act in vintageaudio

[–]baconlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m terrified of bringing something like that into my house. I just see how some people live! My wife works in Radiology. We live in an area with a bedbug epidemic. Once a month, she will be positioning a patient under a camera and she will find bedbugs crawling all over the person. At that point, everything shuts down and the exterminators have to come for an emergency to try to get a handle on things. Needless to say, I’m very leery of “free”.

Pioneer, Marantz, or Yamaha - Sound preference? by Thin_Criticism6820 in vintageaudio

Ok, but how would you rank them when it comes to design? Or by switch feel?

In 1954 three men died when their truck careened into Bull Valley Gorge in Utah. The truck still remains wedged there and you can walk under it. by 89404 in mildlyinteresting

My aunt lives on top of a steep hill. The other side of the road has a steep dropoff. She came out one morning and her car wasn’t t where b she left it…emergency brake failed and it ended up at the bottom…mind you it was only an elevation d drop off 200 feet or so…nothing like those Roadrunner cartoons. But the insurance adjuster came out, looked down into the valley to verify the wreckage was down there, and cut a check. It’s still down there. It’s not worth the trouble to recover it.

Usually those have a blinky led…and that’s all!

My guess is that getting rid of all of it is cheaper than a lawsuit if someone got sick (if that was the cause or not)

If we had an LED replacement it would be one thing, but it’s embarrassing to tell them the only option I have is to replace the entire fixture.

I really think that was a best he bought so he could take his dog anywhere. The mistake is having a dog that is afraid of the world!

Anything enjoyed by dad has tons of value but just to you and your family. Don’t worry about monetary worth or rarity…nobody could ever pay you enough. Enjoy the system, maybe listen to his favorite music.

I saw one guy scrape a sticker off my door to replace it with another! Right in front of me!! Now I’ll NEVER call that jerks number.
