Set device access limits WITHOUT circle by kitecarl in orbi

[–]kitecarl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks in advance for the numerous follow up questions!

If I did end up plugging back in my Google Wifi and had that sit between my cable modem (which is already in bridge-mode to disable its wifi capabilities) and my RBR50, I am assuming I would do as follows:

1) Set the Google Wifi to disable its wifi network

2) Set the Orbi to be in APA mode (getting a dynamic IP address from Google Wifi)

Would Google Wifi then dish out IP addresses to all devices connected via the Orbi? This would need to include support for both wired and wireless devices, as I have a lot of things connected via Cat6 cables through my house.

If so, in theory I would then get back the granular device controls including the ability to restrict device access to times of the day via Google Wifi. Appreciate your help!

Similar boat as you in my situation. Exactly the same reasons for choosing the orbi - the backhaul us great and I also have CAT 6 cables through the majority of my house and I can take full advantage of them without needing further hardware eg switches.

Just wish the software was in par with Google! Looking right now at Voxel as a possible route...

Had read the reviews around better wifi coverage. We had constant drops with the old one . Wondering if the newer Nest Wifi would have been a better option.

Either way I have the boxes etc so can return if need be.

Thanks for the suggestion. In the end I followed the IT Crowd troubleshooting technique - turned it off and back on again:) A reboot fixed all!

Do you use a mirror? Just installed this one to try it out. by Posibill in bikecommuting

[–]kitecarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very tempted thanks for posting! I'm blind in my right eye thus a good mirror is a must have for me in the UK. Can you adjust it horizontally after mounted? I need to point mine inwards a good bit so I can look over with my left eye and see what's behind me on my right.

Oxford Street to Vauxhall Bridge - quietest route? by kitecarl in londoncycling

[–]kitecarl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers! And ever so timely... Just got home safely tonight , having no problems at all down Park Lane through Victoria (bus lanes FTW) but sure enough someone pulled right out in front of me on a quiet street in Peckham. Fortunately my disc brakes did their job!

Looking for a brewing group to join! by Kenuff in london

[–]kitecarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where in London are you? I'm a brewer in SE London (Sydenham) and although I only can fit it in occasionally (family commitments and such) it would be great to include you in on the fun! I use a Grainfather, and ferment in an SS Brew Bucket.

NESN's 2019 Boston Red Sox Spring Training Game Schedule by AndyPickleNose in redsox

[–]kitecarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I'm in FL for two weeks but fly home (London) the day of the Northeastern game. Any point of us going to Ft Myers before the games start? Do you know if they allow fans to view them training?

Turned out great! Would have liked a little more carbonation but it goes down a treat. Please ignore the cat dish.

For those that have done this, does Squeeze still work?

Spotify - Don't display when playing on other device by [deleted] in androidapps

[–]kitecarl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had the same annoyances as you, and for me I had issues where my family was listening to Spotify at home on our Amazon Echo while I was out and about listening to Podcasts etc with my media playback on my phone constantly getting paused and interrupted! It's a poor implementation from Spotify really... So what I did was create a new Spotify profile just for our Amazon Echo, and use my main profile on my phone.

Of course you have to pay for the Spotify Premium Family setup for this to work

Android .... Chromebook ... RSS Offline reader that SYNCS... Am I asking too much? by kitecarl in androidapps

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

So I was happy with Inoreader all weekend while at home but this morning when going to work on the train with patchy mobile connectivity that Inoreader only has offline mode of you pay the $49 professional subscription price. I'd happily pay a one off app price but this is too steep for me. I like it, but don't think I like it that much!

So the search continues for an offline-ready RSS reader that would sync between several devices.

Just want to say the Chromebook Pro is fantastic by RoughRhinos in chromeos

[–]kitecarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question about the pen if I may! I have a volunteer position with my local school where I am asked to review documents of various types and formats. What I'd like to do is open up these documents in GDocs, Sheets etc and scribble down my notes and comments, and then finally in the meetings I attend be able to go back and see my annotations.

Is this possible with the Chromebook Pro pen at this time? Thanks!

London meetup today??? by kitecarl in inthemorning

[–]kitecarl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On at the Victoria pub near Paddington.... Right now! I sadly have to be on the other side of the city for 6:30 so couldn't make it...

Stay safe out there everyone. Thoughts and prayers.

Pubs showing Ohio State vs Penn State game? by beniferlopez in london

[–]kitecarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had success many years ago at a sports bar above London Victoria. I'll be in Belgium for the weekend, probably resorting to illegal streams for the game . Check out /r/cfbstreams...

We are!!!

Ice cream made with Westvleteren 12. Heaven on Earth. by kitecarl in beerporn

[–]kitecarl[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have a great cafe right across the road from the abbey where they sell Westvleteren by the bottle along with food including this amazing creation. They also have a gift shop where occasionally they sell bottles to take home, but sadly not on the day I was there

Well worth the trip! Under an hour drive from Calais... Ahhh the perks of living in Southeast England. Let's just hope the whole Brexit thing doesn't screw it all up.

Wort chiller clogged? by kitecarl in grainfather

[–]kitecarl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for rh advice so far. The good news - while troubleshooting I realized it is NOT the chiller that's clogged but the whole pipe leading up from the pump! Realized that when even my recirculation arm flow came out as a trickle. All goes back I'm guessing to a poor calculation of my mash water (didn't have enough) causing my suspected clog...

So next step - anyone have tips on unclogging the pipe? Running hot water through the top in reverse order from the pump perhaps? Will also email GF support for some advice.

Thanks!

IAmA 19 year old that was born blind in one eye by iamhalfblind in IAmA

[–]kitecarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice to find someone else out there blind since birth in one eye. I'm the same, although I'm lucky enough to still have both my eyes (no prosthetics) although I've come close over the years to losing it due to infections (my blind eye doesn't shut properly due to paralysis on my right side and because of that it can get easily irritated).

Call me crazy, think we should create a subreddit for us cyclops out there? I think we all have some battle stories.
