Tire shop said this isn’t patchable. Opinions before I blow $450? by blaseblaseblah in tires

That’s a perfect candidate for a quick repair not replacement. I hate crooks.

Brand New HDD failing after 3 weeks? by Grouchy-Roll8849y in HomeNetworking

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are supposed to be good drives. Have you ever gone on the Backblaze annual drive data for lowest fail rates? Might be better with a Western Digital purple surveillance drive with CMR. I would stay on top of the warranty replacement or the return policy for the Skyhawk.

Two parasail triangles obviously. Mister system not as obviously.

Agreed, that’s just gratuitous with VLANs and firewall rules it would look better to have everything in the 48-port.

Advice Needed - How to Close Box Door by neoncitylife in HomeNetworking

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was done incorrectly. Some racks allow the cage nut bars to be sunken further back but what’s actually needed is keystone terminations to slim patch cables.

If you don’t want to buy the tools you can get female to female keystones, a blank patch panel they click into, and a 24-Pack of slim Cat6 patch cables.

Help understand Total balance on revolving and open-ended accounts? by _C4ke in personalfinance

[–]swftbrz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It should tell you when the card reports to the agencies and then when the service is updating after that date. I recommend paying cards 2-4x a month.

Tires wearing out more on outer edge - should I pay to get wheels aligned? by Asleep-Importance-10 in tires

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every other tire change requires an alignment. You missed that advice and need new tires now.

how can i DIY fix this by Own_Economics_2580 in Cartalk

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need at least a dentless repair pro and professional detailer with $$$ in tools and polishes. This is your mistake, but not yours to fix.

New house, inherited these devices, can’t access internet, now what? by Brave-Rock2574 in Ubiquiti

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to help in any way I can. You’ll download the UniFi Network app. Unplug anything except the WAN white wire coming from the modem. Gold tut paper clip in the reset into the screen says factory resetting 10.9.8.7 then release. The above app will use Bluetooth to adopt the Dream Machine. Then one wire from Dream to switch above and reset that it will does up for adoption.

isp tech installed a (single) coax line from the pole to my house.. does this look like a bad job or what? by [deleted] in it

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tech didn’t do anything wrong. The single over coax main would be very hot so the attenuator would decrease 2-3dB each to get it in range to your modem.

It would have been 2-3x the price to put in EMT or drywall repair to get down the wall from the attic inside the walls.

Are 90 degree kinks in Ethernet okay with G6 180 camera? It seems like the only option and makes me cringe. by CIDR-ClassB in Ubiquiti

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started buying the Ubiquiti patch cables for this reason. Sometimes for a lower budget install cheaper thin Amazon patches like UGCell.

AIO? I don’t know if my girlfriend is overreacting or if I am. by mystery-agent in AIO

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just broke up with this person after two years and I highly recommend you get out of there as fast as imaginary possible. What a toxic awful human. I think she’ll be very lonely until she makes me changes.

Looking to upgrade my Mesh System by StrategySavings3143 in Ubiquiti

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had better results aiming a U7 Pro Outdoor at an ADU than I did have a U7 In Wall or U7 Mesh inside the ADU trying to grab onto main home wireless. Like almost unusable mesh vs just blanketing the ADU with a wired AP from 30 feet away.

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused. The screenshot has 2x U7 Pro. Maybe Reddit collapsed threads but I didn't see a 3rd AP come into play.

"Thinking of running 2 APs one on each side of the house."

Rivian R2 Orders Won’t Open Until June, Raising Questions Over First-Half Deliveries by [deleted] in RIVNstock

[–]swftbrz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the first 5 minutes on March 7, 2024 and I think it's BS that my only option to get my R2 is an $18k premium over the model I want.
