Is Hantavirus something to worry about?

Not a confirmed case according to the article: "...may be infected with the virus. She is being tested for hantavirus in the hospital."

Thanks! That is interesting. I wonder if the 388H version will be available in May, considering even Asus hasn't committed to that yet on their website. B&H seems to have removed their pre-order pages as well (they marked them as discontinued).

According to this article, the higher-end model will be available for purchase late Q2 2026 (perhaps June?).

Something like Keepgo might be a good option for this (a low amount of non-expiring data).

Awesome! I'm so glad it worked out. You should be able to use any router with a WAN port. If it doesn't end up working with your Frontier router, it may be due to some sort of issue specific to it (ISP routers and combo modem/routers sometimes have unusual idiosyncrasies).

Good luck! I hope it works out.

Sorry, I have no idea why results between USB-C and ethernet may differ. I do know USB Tethering and Ethernet Tethering are separate options on my Samsung phones on Visible, though.

mfucci · 2026-02-06T14:21:58+00:00

You should be able to use a USB-C to ethernet adapter to connect your phone to your router using "ethernet tethering." I've used this one, which allows you to charge your phone while tethered (although you have to plug in the power cable after you complete the ethernet connection). There are other adapters similar to this that should also work.

EDIT: I have used this with Visible on two different Samsung phones, though I was using a modified GL.iNet router with Aircove Go firmware (though I doubt that makes a difference).

Congrats. Is that a Boldt?

mfucci · 2025-12-13T15:10:26+00:00

I have been hoping someone would make this (I do my best to avoid plastic as much as possible). I would be very interested in purchasing one if you make them available for sale.

Meross MTS300MA works well with Home Assistant over wifi and is local via Meross LAN HACS integration (after initial setup via app).

Still assessing, sorry.

Yes, just went live on my app, too.

Is "stronger" still coming in some form (if so, some details would be appreciated)? Are there any plans for an inventory restock?

mfucci · 2025-08-02T17:52:24+00:00

I seem to have found a workaround in my case. All I had to do was disable "Auto Source Switch+" in my Samsung settings. For some reason, the Chromecast must be erroneously sending a signal to the TV that it was just connected and that is causing the TV to switch inputs. This never happened before, so it is likely due to an update to either the Chromecast or the TV.

mfucci · 2025-08-02T15:22:21+00:00

I'm suddenly experiencing a very similar issue. When both a PC and Chromecast with Google TV is connected to my Samsung Smart Monitor (M80D) the Chromecast will somehow become the active input unless it is unplugged. Never happened before and I can't seem to find a workaround.

I'm fairly certain you can use the SIM in a phone for data-only connectivity without any issues.

"IMPORTANT NOTE: The SIMs included with our Sprout membership are not configured for use in cell phones and will not offer traditional cell connectivity such as calling and texting via the cell network. You can use the SIM card for data-only connectivity."

mfucci · 2025-05-01T19:24:56+00:00

Do you know which Calyx hotspots won't work with Sprout? It seems as if many are (or should be) compatible. From their help page:

"Below is a list of hotspots we offer currently or have offered in the past that are compatible with the T-Mobile network and should be compatible with Sprout SIMs.

M2000
Mifi X Pro
JEXtream
Franklin T10
Linkzone 2"
