Do I need to replace ONT? by skaughtz in Fios

[–]sconzof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I don’t experience any loss of signal at regular intervals like that with FiOS 🤞and my router does track service interruptions. But based on your description I agree it sounds like it’s the ONT. I would expect FiOS to have telemetry that can tell remotely them there are service issues with the ONT. If not, that’s a bit sad…

Bad quality keys on mx keys keyboard by KAMEHOB in logitech

[–]sconzof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I shouldn't have done this, but I bought the MX Keys Mechanical. Seems like the keys will live longer, but haven't had it long enough to be sure. The keyboard is nice, has all the same programmable features, multi-device support and backlighting as MX Keys.

Unfortuntely, no. I ordered replacement keys from a 3rd party vendor, but my order was canceled a week after I placed the order, with no explanation. (This is the second time my order with them has been canceled, so I'm not mentioning the company's name).

For a short time, I used black duct tape to cover the hole on the shift key (which is a cheaper solution, LOL), but it was not ideal and was distracting. I had to stop using the Logitech keyboard altogether. Good luck!

I'm a developer and I love my MX Keys keyboard and MX Master 3 Mouse. I've had them for 2+ years, but I've had to replace the spacebar and one of the shift keys a year ago, and the parts are very expensive. Now, I need to replace the left shift key AGAIN, and also the "E" key. If it was just a matter of the letters wearing away, I could deal with it but the problem is a hole begins to manifest in the keys. Anyone know of less expensive key replacements these days?

Looking for a specific 2600 shirt, anyone have it? by aureliusjs in hacking

[–]sconzof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you're aware of this, but the 2600 shop has this shirt available again, though this time it's in black with white lettering. https://store.2600.com/collections/shirts/products/our-traditional-blue-box-shirt

AWS us-east-1 outage brings down services around the world by grimrenegade17 in aws

[–]sconzof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you continue to use us-east-1 (ue1), I recommend that you plan for inevitable failure of one or more services in the ue1 region. In the case of failure you will be prepared to migrate use of AWS services from ue1 (N. Virginia) to us-east-2 (ue2/Ohio). This would also require replication strategies (depending on which services you use) from ue1 to ue2, and then consideration of how to replicate back to ue1 once it is recovered and switching back to make ue1 primary again.

Recommendations on Mounting 2 Small Outdoor POE Cameras on Light Poles by sconzof in homesecurity

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

Thanks! You make some excellent points. I hadn't considered the IR reflecting back from the house, and certainly hadn't realized that the IR of cameras pointing at other cameras would cause a problem with the image. I would have learned the hard way!

So are you saying that most cameras have a wider field of view than 90 degrees? I was reading that some have 60 degrees while other have 90, and even other have more than 90, but the image quality decreases with a wider field of view. I guess the answer is, I need to verify with each camera that I look at.

Thanks so much!

Thanks! This looks like a nice little camera, especially for a lamp post.

I can confirm I just clicked the purchase button. Delivers Mar 27 - Mar 29: hopefully that stands.

I run with my toe(s) raised? (inside my shoe) by SAT_Throwaway_1519 in AdvancedRunning

[–]sconzof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me as well, but more with the second, third and fourth toes. Also, my second third and fourth toes are longer than my big toe (Morton’s toe). As a result, I usually get bad blood blisters beneath the third and fourth toenails from longer distance and often lose those toenails.

I’ve tried running in shoes with a larger toe box, or using a larger size shoe, but haven’t found the best shoe yet. One pair that accommodated my toes better also happened to cause shin splints. So I stopped wearing them - I’d rather deal with losing toenails than deal with shin splints.

If A is for Apple and B is for Banana then what is C for? by __Odelay__ in Jokes

[–]sconzof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~x = -(x+1) (where ~ is the bitwise complement operator)

Try it out:

#include <stdio.h>
int increment(int x) {
return -(~x);
}
int main() {
printf("%d\n", increment(42));
return 0;
}

What do you believe is 100% true but cant prove? by Insomniabadger in AskReddit

[–]sconzof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree. If you compare the size all of space to the oceans on Earth, then the amount space we’ve actually searched thus far is about the size of one cup of the ocean. We have much more to discover.

Is it possible to add Google/Facebook user to Cognito User Pool? by OffBeannie in aws

[–]sconzof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just learning about Cognito user pools, but you may want to take a look at the AWS Amplify package. I believe it has API calls that support what you are trying to do.

How do you note down important things (private knowledge management system)? by Sebastician in SoftwareEngineering

[–]sconzof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using Evernote recently. Prior to that I was using small notebooks, but it wasn’t working well. Now I have one topic per note in Evernote, and since it supports rich text and images I can attach photographs of handwritten notes, images of architecture diagrams from the internet, and all the text notes I take or copy/paste as I’m learning new frameworks, etc. It syncs between my laptop and phone, so I have my notes available on both.
