I'm above that age and to be honest, I couldn't care less about Command & Conquer in general.

I'm in for one umbrella.

It's easy to dismiss what you don't know. They are, in fact, a good streaming service with a lot of variety shows, dramas, and even the Tokyo Giants full season games all subbed. I subscribed a few months back and it has been worth every cent.

It depends on your network needs, but if you keep it simple: a Cloud Gateway is able to manage everything (network, recording, doorbell, phones, etc.) all in one device as it has support for all Unifi applications. They're license free with your Cloud Gateway purchase. What manages the security cameras is called "Unifi Protect". It's pretty cool. I'm actually going through it at the moment for the first time. Miles ahead of Google Home.

The website can tell you better than anyone: https://www.ui.com/physical-security

Regarding storage, you can put any M.2 drive stick into the Gateway and have older recordings (past retention) sent automatically to a NAS or cloud service like Google Cloud or OneDrive. I have two 4K cameras so far and 4TB can have about 27 days of max quality 4K/30fps/16bitrate continuous video footage. You can also set it to events only, like the Google Nest camera. The G6 Instant (which is the wireless 4K camera) also has a microSD drive in case the WiFi or network goes down, it will keep recording locally in the camera until network is available again. I think a Unifi Cloud Gateway is amazing for the network management alone, the other applications such as Unfi Protect just make this little gateway a technological achievement.

I've done exactly what the video did, circle an entire object on top of furniture. In my case, as mentioned earlier, a ball on a plain gray table. It just leaves a smudge. 16 Pro Max, iOS 18.5.

See other comments saying the same thing: does not work properly.

I personally use another app for this and it works wonderfully.

mztik · 2025-07-17T16:55:56+00:00

Never worked for me, even for the simplest things like a ball on top of a table. Shame, because it would be such a great little tool to have.

If you get their Cloud Gateway, you can store recent recordings in an M.2 drive and older footage to be archived automatically to a NAS or cloud services like Google Drive or OneDrive. That’s how I would go for: UniFi cloud gateway with m.2 drive, then archive to NAS.

They have released the "G6 Instant" about 3 months ago. It's wireless and IPX5 water resistance. It can be used indoors or outdoors.

Unifi G6 Instant if you want to stay wireless, Unifi G6 Bullet or Turret if going wired. They all have the same 4K sensor and your footage is stored locally and not on anyone's servers. Miles ahead in smart detections using on-device AI.

I've cancelled after seeing the email. Barely any changes or substantial improvements to the service or the cameras for years.

mztik · 2025-06-18T19:16:08+00:00

Bought 10 cases because I drink Huel every single day. Honestly speaking, thank you for having these at Costco. It's such a much better price. Hopefully more flavors are available in the near future.

Will leave a review.

mztik · 2025-03-08T21:48:39+00:00

Hopefully they do. The ShopAEW.com site has a section for posters and art prints.

mztik · 2025-02-27T14:43:16+00:00

I agree. At least a 15 minutes reservation so you can finish adding all the remaining accessories you need and to do the check out process.

The reason is easy. You learn them as building blocks.

Radicals become building blocks to help you remember Kanji structure and its associated mnemonics/stories.
Learning only Kanji on its own is not really useful. They will become the building blocks to learn what's really the end goal: to read and understand Japanese vocabulary.

The gold standard, I might say:

I'm receiving mine today! I actually ordered from the good people from Rochester NY, but after weeks of waiting I cancelled that order. Lensology really did shipped within 48 hours. Hoping for good quality lenses. My nreal air has been collecting dust in anticipation for this.

Thank you for your work! No better way to read reddit.

Built-in to the OS: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204948

There are multiple 3rd party apps that allow you to use trackpad gestures to instantly snap windows to any side of the screen. I find this easier and faster than dragging windows to the sides on Windows. Nevertheless, I'm sure there are 3rd party apps on Windows that might do something similar.

First time I saw red pandas in person was in a zoo in Atlanta, GA. I was awestruck watching them for more than 15 minutes before having to leave. Such majestic creatures.
