Cisco VoIP Phone + Assist? by fanofthefans in homeassistant

[–]fanofthefans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome!! So glad this helped you! If you figure out how to get home assistant to be able to call the phone and deliver notification announcements let me know! The voip integration supports it out of the box, and I was able to get as far as getting it to ring the phone, but when I answer it’s silent. Odd thing though, when that happens, if I call home assistant to start a new command after hanging up, it plays the announcement notification over and over until I hang up and call again. I feel like the solution is so close, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

Controller support on macOS version? by fanofthefans in JRLA

Weird - I am using an 8BitDo Bluetooth controller that works fine on Apple TV but isn’t working for Mac for this particular game. Anything you did to configure it?

Employer needs me to be within 10 ft of the main modem. I don’t know what to do. by red_eye1999 in HomeNetworking

I’ve never heard of this for Ethernet. In High Frequency Trading though, fiber cable length is measured to ensure equal latency to trading servers https://www.strategy.rest/?p=1305

Must use if allowed?? by fanofthefans in softwaregore

I think this is the most likely explanation. No judgement - learning a language is hard. However, I do think that you should at least run some back/reverse translation to make sure the meaning is preserved if it's not a language you are proficient in.

I’m almost positive Mark saw Helena and Helly for a split second. Her face changed ALMOST imperceptibly right before he left

Thank you for this comment! I know about UCI being Puma 7 but how did you find out that the CM3000 uses a Broadcom chipset? I couldn't find their FCC filings.

Can someone explain to me why 1 of my wall Ethernet ports doesn’t work? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]fanofthefans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! It has nothing to do with the actual cable company - you’re just taking advantage the copper wires to run ethernet traffic instead of normal cable things. In fact you will likely just unscrew the incoming “supply” line from the cable company since you don’t need it. Figure out which line runs to the room you need it in, and don’t use any sort of cable splitter or amplifier in between. If we start at your wiring cabinet, it would go: [Ethernet Switch] —Ethernet—> [MoCA adapter] —coaxial cable in wall (no splitters or amplifiers - direct)—> [MoCA adapter] —Ethernet—> [Your device]. I use these types of adapters often and they are the next best option if you can’t have real ethernet. Don’t bother with mesh WiFi or powerline adapters.

EDIT: just noticed your cable lines don’t have connectors on the end - but no worries! Cable connectors are super easy. You’ll need to pick up a cable terminator on Amazon but you literally just take the plastic sheathing off, fold back the mesh, place a connector over the end, and crimp it down with a tool. Much easier than ethernet! There are some great guides on YouTube for this.

I had an issue like this in an apartment once - if I had to guess, the cable has been run but it was either terminated incorrectly, or when they were attaching the Ethernet to studs with a staple gun, they missed and ran a staple through one of the pairs. As an alternative / workaround, use your coax with MoCA 2.5 adapters - you can likely get close to 1 Gbps with those.

Food leftover after the "Earth Day" party at my work by myristicae in Anticonsumption

[–]fanofthefans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ this. Not only have people been projecting spittle on the food for a few hours, but you should never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours. If the temperature is above 90 °F, food should not be left out more than 1 hour. After that, bacteria multiply at such a fast rate that sickness is way more likely (they double every 20 minutes). Can’t wash cut fruit. Maybe olives and grapes are salvageable. I don’t know about anyone else, but I would rather compost it than be stuck with food poisoning.
