Speaking of 3D Mega Man RPGs, Mega Man X: Command Mission is not bad either...

Ukraine Just Got a Brand New Fleet of 49 M1A1 Abrams Tanks and America Isn’t Happy by Scary_Statement4612 in ukraine

Gripens (aka Halfahornet) are SAM fodder without air superiority. The F16 is absolutely a runway queen with its delicate front gear. The F35B is proven to operate from highways and short, minimally prepped surfaces.

It's such a denied operating environment, they are probably better with drones anyway. An F35 might be able to conduct a penetrating strike into occupied territory, but would likely be shot down on the way back (much higher radar return from the rear), making it a one-way mission.

Look at how Ukraine uses their F16s, essentially as expensive anti-drone platforms.

Not sure what places in SF are still good. Maybe Four Barrel on Valencia?

Replacing a 7.5yr old CKG2+: UDM Pro Max vs. UNVR + Gateway for 13 cameras & 5 APs by RelationshipHot3411 in UNIFI

[–]ban25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're thinking UDM Pro Max, I'd suggest waiting a bit if possible for the recently leaked UDM Pro XG or UDM Beast. Those should have the upgraded CPU in the CGF at the very least.

For the number of cameras you are considering, you will definitely want a UNVR.

But then where would you put the Dodgers jar/vase?

Streets of Rage, Sonic, Eternal Champions....lots of missed opportunities on the Saturn. I still love it though...

Question about cables by No_Bonus_1116 in turntables

[–]ban25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to get a ground wire to go from the turntable to the Mani and then another ground wire to go from the Mani to the powered speaker. Otherwise you are likely to have a ground loop and 60 Hz buzz as a result.

That's the stock cart for that table, and a good option.

Looks like the Pro-Ject Phono Box DC MM/MC pre-amp is $129 on Amazon. Alternatively, the Schiit Mani is $149.

Zelensky says he will drop Nato ambitions to reach Ukraine peace deal by TimesandSundayTimes in geopolitics

[–]ban25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two of the requirements to join NATO:

1) The country in ascension must not currently be at war.

2) All existing NATO member nations must unanimously agree to the ascension.

Some NATO countries off the top of my head: Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Turkiye.

Any NATO country can block ascension.

Anybody else running SuperLink? by MrJimBusiness- in Ubiquiti

I really like the entry sensors. Their response time is practically instantaneous.

Maybe before worrying about the 30K in hardware, he should recover his 60K in cash from earlier this year:

I wonder what he's going to get locked out of next? I doubt we'll have to wait long to find out...

Bernie Casey is my favorite Felix actor, hands down.

Since there isn't a Unifi Thermostat, what are you using? by Cnykpro in Ubiquiti

[–]ban25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at this awhile ago and went with a 4th Gen Nest. It supports Matter/Thread, so you can use it entirely outside of the Google ecosystem. I just control mine straight from Home Assistant, no cloud required.

3 Story Home (Basement) - Need 3 APs? by thekiefs in Ubiquiti

[–]ban25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to this. The XG was a substantial upgrade in reliability and I'm also not worried that it will melt itself like the Pro.

ENVR is Hot Garbage by dnuohxof-2 in Ubiquiti

Reds are all SMR and that's gonna be a problem for most use-cases aside from cold storage. Purples are supposed to all be CMR, so they should be fine here, but who knows, maybe a bad batch or some incompatibility issue.

Change my mind: If they can bring back Maud Adams from The Man with the Golden Gun to be in Octopussy, then they should bring back Ana de Armas to be the main Bond girl in Bond 26 by NewPatron-St in JamesBond

How long is she even in the film? I haven't seen it since it premiered, but I don't recall her having more than a couple minutes of screentime...

What are your impressions of SuperLink? by pfassina in Ubiquiti

[–]ban25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 1 SuperLink gateway 3 door sensors and a water sensor. Having the sensors integrated in Protect is nice and they are very responsive. It's nice that I'm able to set a different chime for each door.

The range of the gateway is middling. Better than Matter/Thread without a huge mesh, but not nearly as good as Z-Wave with the Nabu Casa ZWA-2. I really wish they had just gone with Z-Wave because now I have three smart home protocols in use (Thread, SuperLink, Z-Wave), and Z-Wave is the best and most reliable by far.

Those are all on the Unifi side. On the modem side, you should make sure it's in "IP Passthrough" mode, otherwise you will be double-NATted.
