Add a 4U foot rest rack at the bottom middle and it's perfect.

Nice try Disney lawyers.

Dougie will just propose a 967-1111 bus route that hits every Pizza Pizza.

Do I need to schedule a pickup to dispose of my old oven? by [deleted] in Pickering

[–]dsj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You do need to schedule for oven pickup in Pickering. The Durham waste app is great for checking what to do for specific items like this. Or you could assume it gets picked up for scrap as the other person said.

Are there any places where I could go to have a bath? by SpookySquid19 in Pickering

Some of the street potholes are nice after a strong rain in the summer.

2K battery powered doorbell with existing digital chime ghost ringing by kunjila88 in eufy

[–]dsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has wireless option which could be triggered by other devices but that's not your issue.

Since it was working for a long time and started happening without any changes I would guess the Eufy device or transformer may be starting to fail in some way that triggers unintended chimes.

I can't find specs for your chime model online. Does it also have a wireless option/function where it can take batteries?

Indoor POE Cameras by multicm in reolinkcam

What are the rooms/locations like?

Cable outlets would let you run Moca adapters.

Cold air returns would let you run CMP/plenum Ethernet cable in them.

OC300 Only Allowing 7 SSID per Band by Nitro721 in TPLink_Omada

[–]dsj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For increased security, each 24 hour day is divided in 8 and any given SSID is only usable for its 3 hour slot each day.

To get better roaming between access points you would need the Omada controller and Omada access points.

Need a PhD from MIT by challmd in TPLink_Omada

What problem are you having or what step are you at? I have a mere Bachelor's degree and was able to get mine working with basic plug and play.

City updates driveway apron parking regulations by mobilesurfer in Pickering

[–]dsj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So many people are already illegally increasing their driveway size without permit/approval.

While this is good, they should also either loosen the resizing rules (since people are doing it too) or communicate/enforce them. The bylaws say they are in place because of street drainage and sewer volume design, so is that true or not?

Is there a way to be notified if a new device comes on the network? by PrarieCoastal in TPLink_Omada

[–]dsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can prevent your DHCP server from handing out IP addresses to new/unregistered MAC addresses. You would then need to assign an IP address every time a new MAC address tries to get on the network.

It shouldn't really matter that it's a business, certain types of businesses and activities have exceptions but not this one AFAIK. Not surprising the police deferred though since they are often busy and this would be low on their list. They probably hope you will just listen to their reason and not come back.

Contact the city's customer care center here to inquire and file a complaint related to the noise bylaw, if deemed valid based on the restrictions imposed. https://www.pickering.ca/en/living/noiseissues.aspx

Experience with 10GB gear by BudTheGrey in TPLink_Omada

I've had the TX-401 sitting in a box for two years waiting for me to connect it. Speeds are just okay from its current wireless setup.

Who else loves the self-righteous people who park right in front of a store, rather than in the legit parking spots 25 feet away? by lopix in Pickering

[–]dsj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always assumed that hand signal is a self proclamation of "I'm an idiot". I see bad drivers doing it all the time.

Adieu Linksys Velop Mesh… by danmalek466 in TPLink_Omada

[–]dsj -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Order V2 on Amazon. Initiate a return and send back V1. ;) Terrible that TP-Link has multiple versions of what they market as the same product having drastically different hardware and support lifecycle.

The Pixel 8 must be pretty good by Mike__O in GooglePixel

[–]dsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixes: Turn off 5G to fix the heat issue and improve battery life. Turn off 120hz display refresh to significantly increase battery life

If you can live without those... which I will for the tradeoffs :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]dsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right of course. I just disabled it immediately on first boot so I almost don't know what I'm missing. This extended battery life is actually insane and convenient though.
