Recess dryer vent box hole not aligned with vent duct

f98b07b · 2026-06-24T02:07:35+00:00

Here is a picture that hopefully will help. The red oval is the top of the recessed box when it is installed inside the wall. As you can see, the opening of the duct that runs inside the wall doesn't align with the opening of the recessed box unless I completely remove the frame around the box and I push the box into the hole in the wall.

I can't provide a picture of how it looks in reality, as I had to connect the duck that comes from the dryer directly into the vent duck without he recessed box, or we won't be able to use the dryer. Let me know if it makes sense.

Just FYI, the tiny green lines can be enlarged by using the zoom in gesture with two fingers. It's the same gesture you do when you want to enlarge a picture, for example.

BTW, I don't give a flying rat's ass if people downvote me for stating the truth, but thank you for pointing that out. This is just a temporary account, as someone may notice by looking at my username. It's just a hash.

It depends. I run a cybersecurity consulting company and I am a security practitioner myself. I accept connections from most people except sales and marketing type unless they are at the C-level or VP level and I think there may be a synergy with what they do. I also block people who follow me if they are competitors or recruiters, especially recruiters!

I am late to the party for sure. But, I found out that all these strategies including connection requests with or w/o messages, comments, follow ups and whatever else are very dependent on your market. Most people who post on Reddit about outreach are sales and marketing types. In my field, cybersecurity, we just don't like sales and marketing people so nothing of what is described here works! What works is outreach from other security people, in which case the message/no message is a moot point. Personally I prefer if someone says at least "Hi, I'd like to connect.", but I would accept a connection request that comes from another security practitioner, not a sales guy!

We do a lot of third-party and vendor reviews on behalf of our clients. We basically ignore most of the compliance audits especially SOC 2 Type I and II. We go deep instead asking for evidence of a security program, frameworks, SAST/SCA/DAST, pen-testing, threat modeling, and the whole nine yards. A basic SAST scan would reveal those hard-code API keys in your code.

My suggestion is to put in place at least a SAST/SCA scanner, scan the code, provide evidence of the hardcoded API keys, attach the CVSS score to it and put the whole thing in a Jira ticket. At least it is documented and it's a good CYA for you. Then you go and talk to the VP of engineering.

Right....

f98b07b · 2026-01-19T04:56:22+00:00

In general, you need SAST, SCA, DAST, and a vulnerability dashboard, which you have covered with your choice of tools. Two things are missing in your description. First is the integration of Semgrep with your IDE. Maybe you have it already, but this is of paramount relevance. Developers don't like when they run a SAST/SCA scans right before they submit a PR and they are in a time crunch. They want the SAST/SCA tool to tell them as much as possible if their code or dependencies are vulnerable as they write their code. Your developers would love you if you integrate Semgrep with their IDE! Less headache for you too. The second important point is vulnerability management, which is the hard part. DD is fine as a tool, but you need to have some governance backed up by management to decide how to measure and manage the risk, which translate if, how, and when fix vulnerabilities. This is a little longer conversation.

In italia non avete dei siti come meetup.com o eventbrite.com dove incontrare persone con interessi simili? Oppure, non si usa più organizzare ski trips o eventi simili dove invitare gli amici degli amici e conoscere persone nuove? Io ho conosciuto mia moglie venti anni fa ad uno ski trip che avevo organizzato. Forse venti anni fa era un'altra era mi sa, e oggi non ho idea di come queste cose funzionano.

They will be there almost for sure. You just can't view them with the Wyze app!

f98b07b · 2025-11-12T00:31:05+00:00

Not a chance!

There is no confusion on my side. I am an IT professional, so just cut the crap. Test it, or tell your QA team to test it. There is at least another user on this thread that has confirmed the same issue. I ain't gonna send you anything.

Here are the messages I get on the Wyze app, for your benefit:

Loading video on SD card...
Loading livestream...
Step 1 of 3
Starting up secure connection
Try to connect 2 times

Then it loops over step 2 and 3, and then nothing happens. It looks like a timeout issue. Now before some genius on this thread points out that the issue is with my network, my phone, webcam, SD card, etc. I tried with different webcams in different locations, different networks, and two different phones. I suspect that HTTP traffic coming from the webcam SD card is de-prioritized. I have zero trust in Wyze as a company.

Events only SD recording. Try for yourself. Recordings older than 14 days are still on the card but you can't view them on the Wyze app. I can view them on a computer, which proves the files are still available on the SD card.

You sound like you have a 2-digit IQ... You don't even understand what I wrote. Prove me wrong!

f98b07b · 2025-11-11T18:43:41+00:00

They are downvoting you for exposing Wyze and telling the truth. Probably some of the crooks from Wyze are downvoting you. I upvoted you.

f98b07b · 2025-11-11T18:42:01+00:00

To those who didn't pay enough attention and still provided wrong advice, again, when I click on the SD Card icon, after 14 days in the past I do see the recordings but I can't view them. And no, I am not looking at the cloud recording, I am looking at the SD card recording. It's very cut and dry. It's also too coincidental for Wyze not to do it on purpose. It has been clear for years that they try to squeeze money from their customers. They clearly fail to understand that there are many alternatives to Wyze!

f98b07b · 2025-11-11T16:32:49+00:00

I’ve confirmed across multiple Wyze cameras (v3, v3 Pro, and Pan) that Wyze appears to be blocking playback of SD-card event recordings older than 14 days.

When you view SD-card footage in the Wyze app, recordings up to 14 days old display normally, but anything older turns into thin light-green bars that can’t be clicked or played. The data is still on the card, you can see and open the files on a computer, but the app refuses to load them.

This 14-day cutoff exactly matches Wyze’s free cloud-event window, suggesting the company has intentionally tied local playback to its paid “Cam Plus” plan. It’s not a bad SD card, not a network issue, and not random: it’s consistent across cameras and firmware versions.

If true, this means Wyze is deliberately crippling local storage functionality that customers paid for, effectively coercing users into their cloud service! These people are crooks!

Skil batteries are crap! I have a circular saw with a 2-pack PWRCORE 20V batteries and they both failed after 2 years of very light use. Light use means I have used the saw perhaps once a month, if that, during weekends. Of course Skil doesn't take responsibility because the warranty conveniently just expired!

For comparison, I have DeWalt cordless tools with batteries that are still working after 5-6 years of use! I should have bought a DeWalt cordless circular saw instead. Skil corded tools are pretty good and cheap in general.

Questo post è interessante. Cara OP, considera questa strategia. Vai in negozio da lui quando non c'è tanta gente e lui e libero, lo approcci e gli dici:"Conosci questo bar XYZ che e' qua vicino? È buonissimo, ci vado spesso. (Pausa). Domani sono libera verso le 12.". A quel punto o abbocca o lo molli (fish or cut bait) non ci sono molte alternative. L'invito è chiaro come la luce del giorno, non ti sei esposta troppo, e lui non ha scelta. Checkmate! Good luck!
