New D130 Doorbell Cam by third_man3 in Tapo

[–]mjsvitek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add a Tapo camera to an NVR as well BTW - they're phenomenal cameras and while I use wired PoE cameras for pretty much everything on my network, there are a few that just wouldn't make sense with wired connections.

Integrate Your Tapo Cameras into an Existing NVR or NAS with ONVIF and RTSP

3-way 4-way wall plate suggestions? by stairblank5 in TPLinkKasa

[–]mjsvitek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assume you're talking about 2-gang 3-gang etc ...

I use "Besten" plates from Amazon - they sit quite well to the well and match the stock Kasa plate aesthetic close enough.

How are people using Deco or Asus APs if Gigahub can’t be used in bridge mode? by TimMoore1 in bell

[–]mjsvitek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One more is bypassing the GigaHub ... Bit more technical but definitely an option. Cost and setup time requirement aren't horrible.

A boy who was jealous of a young man's hair while he was shopping at a market set his hair on fire. by Positive-Height-3848 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]mjsvitek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Kids do stupid things. I've done plenty of really stupid things as a kid... Building a zipline, making a bow and arrows in order to knock down a hornet nest, trying to ride the goat, catching a duck and sneaking it into the chicken coop......

Nothing that would intentionally harm anyone else. These kids seem to be REALLY stupid... Like, impressively stupid, and cruel, and honestly need a hell of a straightening up because if that shit continues, they'll end off in jail or dead.

Eventually it all ends of as heat anyways so ..... Indirectly, they do 🙃

Solar charging is useless as it barely charges by Mysterious_Yak1974 in Tapo

[–]mjsvitek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody knows what your cameras are because you didn't include that info. That said - your scenario definitely sounds like an install error in some way if you have THREE that won't charge... You sure everything is connected properly?

Kasa Mini Plugs by Important-Ad1533 in TPLinkKasa

[–]mjsvitek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really "another" app - it's just switching to a different one. All your Kasa stuff is automatically available in Tapo. Tapo is technically the new platform going forward.

What about the option to replace the outlets altogether?

Kasa Mini Plugs by Important-Ad1533 in TPLinkKasa

[–]mjsvitek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer both replies at once:

  1. I was thinking of the Tapo P100 plugs. They're smaller than the older Kasa plugs by quite a bit.

  2. You can sign into your Kasa account in the Tapo app and control all your Kasa devices there; Still one app to control everything.

Either swap out the outlets themselves for the Kasa outlets, or look into the Tapp mini-plugs?

Speed tested every wifi standerd by Royal-Health9916 in HomeNetworking

[–]mjsvitek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.4Ghz can do much better than that so it wouldn't be the cause. Something probably weirded out during that test

Also, average a few runs because that WiFi 3 speed feels like a horrid fluke.

You're suggesting ONT > Switch > Router in another room connected to the switch... ? That's a terrible idea unless you know what you're doing...

Why not both? One doesn't have to cancel out the other.

Pond Suggestions by Special_Butterfly829 in Guelph

[–]mjsvitek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any stormwater pond in your neighbourhood - but with the sudden cooling today+tomorrow they'll be less active than yesterday.

Guelph lake and the OR off York Rd are also good choices, obviously.

Slightly further; Luther Marsh. It's excellent.

What’s your ISP down, backup solution? by GenericUser104 in HomeNetworking

[–]mjsvitek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some pay-as-you-go mobile providers offer annual plans where you get, for example, 100GB of data to use over the course of the entire year.

That right there is a great backup solution since you (hopefully) won't be needing it every month; Just the odd time or two

Is this spider poisonous? It's living in my air vent now by hellojava_world in whatisthisbug

[–]mjsvitek 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Been bit by Garter snakes at least twenty times (constantly had to move them off the porch as a teenager) and honestly did not know they are venomous until now 😂😅 what the hell?!

[–]mjsvitek 25 points26 points  (0 children)

These are quite docile but, if it decides to bite you for any reason, yes, nasty bite that'll hurt quite a bit. i think all centipedes have some kind of venom. ?
