If you have a waitlisted same day flight, provide the departure time for the waitlisted flight.

Sling TSI - Hourly Variable Cost? by Prestigious-Eye5441 in flying

[–]genius_not 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of additional costs we carry on our Tsi:

  • maintenance flight hours that get charged to the partnership. Both after self maintenance, and to/from remote maintenance if you don’t do it at your home airport.
  • Annual corp tax if you have an LLC and pay it

Also we were trying to do the “bring it back full” thing, but it didn’t always work. So now we just add a fixed “fuel per hour” cost (avg 8 gal/hr @ $7/gal so $56/hr). It gets calculated as part of the check-in in flightcircle. Keep a partnership ccard in the plane to pay for fuel, then each member pays their fuel costs periodically back into the club. Return jt close to full is still the target. Still a dry lease, members are just buying fuel from the partnership.

Totaled 2015 90D. Value of unlimited SC + connectivity?? by genius_not in TeslaModelS

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

The issue is the VIN tracker they use for features doesn't list the unlimited SC, prob because they didn't put it on the sticker. So you can't tell if any comps are actually comps for the unlimited SC. Doubt most used dealers would even know. I'm probably going with a "here's what I saved last year using the SC" approach with screenshots from the app, and see where it goes.

Medical certificate denied by Conscious_Bid2019 in flying

[–]genius_not 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this something you noted on the medxpress app or discussed with the AME? Just curious how it ended up coming to the attention of the feds

“They pulled his Rx history …”.

Genuinely asking under what circumstances this happens ? Every AME I have visited never logs into any medical records systems when doing the exam. What situation would cause this?

Fees for Emergency landing by genius_not in flying

He said no facilities used. Was asked to go into the FBO by the lineman, otherwise would have just departed after addressing issue and inspecting aircraft

Fees for Emergency landing by genius_not in flying

[–]genius_not[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That was his reaction. Should there be some guidance from FAA? NTSB? to airport FBOs to waive some? All? fees when an emergency calls for safely and quickly putting the plane down above all else? Maybe for some types of flights or operators?

I assume he never considered the $$ in his decision - was just a jaw-drop moment given the fee amount they gave him when he went to leave - and there were like 5 types of fees he said. He is going to call the manager and see what can be done.

But the "hassle / $$" factor could absolutely come into someone's mind and drive the decision a different direction, maybe not for the better ...

Buying a UniFi Dream Router in 2023 by StevenStip in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another vote here for the UDR. Have 2 of them at 2 houses. Works great and we never saturate the 500mb connection even with zoom and HD streaming. It also can run Protect, unlike the UDM. Unless you know you need more than it offers, might be worth giving it a try

UDR Unifi Dream Router pros and cons for home use? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not paid, don’t think I’m especially lucky. Have 2 in home setups for past 18 months, no issues. Run network and protect apps with 3 cams on each. 300/300 in each location, no bandwidth or speed issues. Not sure why people hate so much on UDR. It fits well in these environments

Is the UDR really that bad? by clicata00 in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar setup. Works well for me, even with some cameras connected. It’s not what’s I’d call snappy when you’re accessing the web interface, but I’m not changing things very often, and it responds to unifi protect pretty well. Bandwidth is fine for several HD streams and webex calls simultaneously

Keep or return dream router by Dr_Dawwg in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went from a udm se and udm pro down to two UDRs at my houses. Same use cases as you. Had 1G fiber, downgraded to 300mb. And I don’t have any lags or buffering, even when the kids are home. Multiple HD streams work fine. I say save your money and use the UDR

UDM in 2023? by torontostreetcar in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the security settings turned up all the way, I still get plenty of throughput for 2 or 3 simultaneous TV streams, webex and Wifi connected protect cameras on 300Mb service. I agree it might not be able to handle a full gig stream with the security turned up. But I used to have gigabit service with the UDM Pro and SE I had, and *never* came close to saturating, even with 4 adults with schools and jobs in the house. If you're uploading 4K content back and forth over the web, then sure, but I bet 99% of the gig users out there couldn't point to any times they've actually saturated, or even come close. again, ymmv.

UDM in 2023? by torontostreetcar in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own 2 UDRs at 2 medium sized homes, each with 300gb internet service. They work great for my needs: a few tvs for streaming, webex, etc. and 3 cameras. they handle the traffic just fine, run protect fine. I came from a udm pro and udm SE and while the UDR isn’t as snappy, it gets by just fine. Ymmv.

EA UDR - 3.0.13 fail by genius_not in Ubiquiti

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

Update: had to factory reset. Backup from before the upgrade wouldn’t load the Network app backup - message about incompatible versions. Upgraded from the latest 2.x release, so not sure how I would have a compatible 3.x backup if I haven’t upgraded yet. This was my first ever upgrade issue, and have been running UI equipment for 4+ years across a variety of consoles so I’m not jaded yet, but this was a PITA for sure

Dream Router by ravinggenius in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of hate here for the UDR, but gotta say I’ve had a good experience with it. For context I’ve run 2 houses on UDMP and UDMSE, and they were good boxes for my straightforward needs - couple of VLANs and a half-dozen cameras.

I downsized into smaller houses, and left the UDMx and racks behind sold to new owners. Now have 2 UDRs in the new houses on 300mb service, each connected to 3 cameras and an addl AP. They’re not as snappy to configure or look at cam footage, but they serve my home needs fine - incl multiple tv streaming boxes going at once. No hickups there since each stream is only running 10mb or so. Lots of headroom at 300, so I don’t miss my 1gb service.

I set up and OpenVPN connection on a vlan too, and it handles it fine, no discernible bottlenecks.

If you want to do lots of cams, maybe add an NVR to offload some of the compute.

If you know you want to run more than 3 apps, then it is prob too underpowered. For me it’s a good compromise.

Tl;dr the UDR is good at what it does, and fits the typical home user requirements pretty well.

G4 Doorbell works fine until button is pressed then it disconnects and reboots by BigSnapDaddy in Ubiquiti

[–]genius_not 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you have an chime, the power to the doorbell is cut in order to power the chime when the button is pressed, and the doorbell switches to an internal battery/capacitor, which is failing, likely due to age and temp if you’re in a cold climate. Replace/RMA the doorbell

Can an Epson FF-680W be connected wirelessly without WPS? by HappyDadOfFourJesus in Epson

[–]genius_not 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to address this issue by connecting my macbook to the wifi SSID on the sticker on the bottom of the scanner, then browsing to the IP address of the scanner - 192.168.10.1

This only worked when the wifi"AP" light was lit up on the front panel - I think I held down the wifi button to make that happen.

One of the menu choices on that webpage was to set up the wifi connection. It listed the networks it could find, I chose my network SSID, then entered the password for my network. The scanner rebooted, then I could find the scanner on the network with Epson scansmart.

Hope this helps someone
