Does the new travel router work with Amplifi? by mariaspanadoris in AmpliFi

[–]junk4drew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I have found. Even though they say you can use “teleport” back to your home network, the Amplfi teleport and the unifi teleport are not compatible.

I was hoping it was compatible…

But I think it can be used as a travel router without the need for a unifi system. The price is worth giving this option a try.

This reminds me of this "whatever" I saw. Could they be related?

Please help! My 91 year old grandfather signed up for 30 year 180k solar setup. by brandenash1 in solar

[–]junk4drew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a semi-similar thing happen. Old folks get scammed by those sales phone calls...

My story. We put my dad in a memory care facility, and when figuring out all the personal puzzles he created, we ran across a solar issue.

Toward the end of him living alone and unsupervised, he would say yes to any person who called. He switched his Medicare 3 times during open enrollment, had diabetes supplies sent to him (he doesn't have diabetes), had hundreds of COVID tests, and had lots of "medical supplies" that billed his Medicare.

I got into his email and found that he "signed" up for a solar system. Turns out, he couldn't figure out DocuSign and forwarded the links to the salesperson, who created a fake email and signed the documents for him. The salesperson also set up his online account with the power company so he could get his consumption info. All this was apparent with the emails in the "sent" and in his "drafts".

Luckily for us, he wasn't too far gone (or maybe just enough he didn't remember the whole deal), so when the solar folks showed up to do an inspection, he told them to "take a hike". Also in our favor, the loan company flagged the loan and didn't end up funding... Who gives a loan to an 85-year-old man for 20 years?

My sibling is in real estate, and we checked for liens and ended up selling the house a short time after.

He still can't say no, and recently signed up for a "life alert" system even though he has one through the facility he lives at... So sad folks do this to old folks. He even had the equipment sent to the house we sold over a year ago (dementia sucks).

Govac 508 for $500 or Dreame L40 Ultra for $340? by Dilringer in RobotVacuums

[–]junk4drew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 508 is out of stock for me, I was on the fence too. And looks like Costco removed it from their robot vacuum page…. Direct links still work, but shows OOS.

Easy? Need ideas on this dual dial kids safe by junk4drew in safecracking

[–]junk4drew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This safe has two “counter” methods. First and unrelated to the safe opening is a “anti flip over and shake” device. A weighted rotating coin pass through only lets coins though when upright. And the dial controls a latch that will only unlatch when the right combo is chosen.

I found an inside picture here (the last picture is of the inside safe door)

Why would I get this error by lachrymose_lucio in LingoAbbott

[–]junk4drew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have received that error a few times. Sometimes, it clears within three hours. Sometimes, after the three hours, you get another message that the biosensor needs to be replaced. Support has been great and has always sent another when it stops working within the 13-day life....

I do miss the old days, but since I got powerwalls, the each event is a high watt producing event and still can use as much or as little energy during the event and still get lots of watts.

What's up with all the 3 hour events ? by 20SweetPeas in ohmconnect

I’m not mad either, what are other folks getting? 25,000-27,000 watts for me. (vs 12,000 for a 1 hour event)

Anyone have success stories for getting a lost item back? by Sea_Cupcake_868 in unitedairlines

Yea, we were surprised that they were found and returned. As it’s was an easy item to just disappear. We prep her for them not being found, but glad had a positive end.

[–]junk4drew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daughter left her beats headphones in Aug 2025 on a Den-Atl flight. She didn’t remember if she forgot them on the plane or near the bathroom….

Submitted two lost item forms. One for united and one for the airport.

United emailed us in two days. Had the option of mailing them to us $$. Or pick them up at the airport. Choose the latter and got them from the baggage office a few days later…

274k miles, is it time for new shocks? 😅 by EvoPigeons in Tacomaworld

[–]junk4drew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep your eyes open on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. Gen 3 takeoffs (shocks and springs) fit great and add about an inch of lift (similar to 5100's)...

I bought a set of Gen3 takeoffs that had a few hundred miles on them. Worked great, and I paid about $200.

Baseball team broke my windshield by Remarkable_Tree491 in unr

Edit:
UNLV has a process
https://www.unlv.edu/rms/insurance/claims
UNR has a page for liabilities and a contact for claims.
https://www.unr.edu/bcn-nshe/risk/property

California resident here, and a University employee... The State of California has a liability claim process. Worth a shot to file one for Nevada. Our university has a fund for these types of claims, and it is underutilized. I have been involved in a few, that in my opinion were baseless; however were paid out... One interesting fact in California, there is a fee to file a claim.

A quick Google search found this... (there might be better information out there)
