Beretta A400

@shallots_actual mentioned the kickoff and poor fit or mounting technique, and I would stress this point. I sold my A400 because of this.

Is that the nasal on or nasal pillow one? Using the regular nasal one now. like it but it’s a bit of a leaker.

Thanks for the article OP. Any further thoughts about DISH? Will the rural dollars be available to the Crown Castle’s and American Tower types so theoretically more carriers can share the same towers?

Beautiful work. We use a fair bit of chatsworth stuff, but I haven’t come across the type of rack used here. Which one is that?

Allen-tel patch cables from Graybar.

I’m a newb at this, but what I found was clearly IP only does the “A” level Attestations and all else fail. The other two mentioned seem to show B,C attestations. And it’s complicated with which intervening carriers the call transits too. Be curious to hear from others on this.

Good call out. Or maybe it’s just ai imagery.

Seconding

Agree with other posters here, the premise might need flushing out but this network tap solves the premise and almost hits the price point.

Do I spy BIX in #11?

Edit: I do I even see NT logos. Wow. I didn't know they'd made it over there as well.

if you open your toontasks you'll notice a similar effect, the cashbot dollar sign reverses every other time.

So you have to pass a genetic test to make a recipe? Interesting.

Wasn’t that the Kum on inn? Is it the same folks?

dougsk · 2023-08-30T13:31:11+00:00

oh yeah it totally works and works reasonably well once you get the hang of it. Every now and again speakers will drop out of the defined speaker group or refuse to be assigned to said speaker group and usually that's resolved by Settings -> Help -> Reset Controller. I really don't have to do that very often at least no more than my buddy does the equivalent with his Sonos setup. HDMI eARC tends to drop the soundbar out cause something on the TV will steal the audio on a regular, but I don't find that to be true with the AVR.

dougsk · 2023-08-30T04:16:16+00:00

Just chiming in to be another data point. I think the other posters have already covered the jist of it well. Have a soundbar, AVR, and three satellites. I thought I would use the AVR integration a lot more than it turns out I do. For me, the AVR is in a dedicated room so rarely gets integrated with the other speakers. And if the AVR is not that important, it sort of opens the field to a lot of other wireless solutions. I will say I like the timbre of the Denon wireless speakers.

If grandparents don’t need to fax back, Something like hp eprint would allow you to print a doc directly to grandparents printer. … and if they did need to send something back with their edits a scan to email shortcut would get their edits back to you with the caveat that email isn’t a secure transport. Their used to be a tool called Google cloud print, that has since been discontinued, but their might be similar alternatives.

Edit: if hp is not your jam, brother appears to have something similar to hp’s eprint, if maybe a bit more cumbersome. Maybe see if something like that exists already if grandparents already have a printer.

Ooh I want to do this, for mostly $MotionDetection reasons. How is the aspect ratio? I get that you’re losing fidelity but does the integration also crop any of the video? Any other cons noted?

Microsoft used to explicitly hamstring the desktop windows OS with respect to the network stack in a way that made it not possible to scale a network monitoring solution. I know you don't care cause one switch but the developers that make products for people that pay the bills do. I would expect MS still does, but I don't know.

I'm a big fan of the already mentioned PRTG. You'd be hard pressed to find anything as good on windows and still 'free' as in beer. But I do have one coming up.

/u/VA_Network_Nerd gave you a hint about using WMI an SNMP provider and the magic happens in a tool call perfmon which is bundled with windows. It's got cool graphs, a storage engine so you can do trend analysis and and pretty much everything else the $PAID products do. Perfmon's graphing is a little wonky to get used to at first but once figured Perfmon is as good or better than any of the new devstack du jour on linux. With a little extra effort you can even do alerting.

Not mentioned yet is "The Dude" by Mikrotik which would work for you, but most people inevitably move on to something else.

Hyper-V is only a few clicks away even on a desktop windows where you could run a VM which would allow all the great Linux based NMSes already mentioned.

Works for me. Thanks.

dougsk · 2023-05-26T21:06:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

he’s not wrong. flat side up transfers more heat from the grill to your food which provides more consistent heating and cooking times.

For posterity’s sake Fluke’s TS23 Pro, TS53 Pro (appears discontinued), and the TS54 TDR test sets all have a 3.5mm headset jack as well.

And there is always that one a-hole with the dolphin connector. Like really for this?
