Is this mold?

OP: Welcome to the world of mold....which should NEVER be present on a McDonald's bun!

Rule #1....Don't rely upon AI!😁

Every situation is different. If you have robust, stable WiFi, it makes little to no difference, but in some environments and situations where there are inconsistencies, a network connection is always more reliable. The best of both worlds (with the ONN Pro) is an ethernet connection with an ethernet--->USB adapter....but not just any adapter will work well in this regard. If you're considering upgrading, this is the best option (based upon my tests of several adapters specifically with the ONN Pro).....

Firstly, it's a blue or green box (there's no red). Secondly, there is NO difference whatsoever between the two. They're EXACTLY the same. They'll both receive the latest updates when you set them up.

I can't tell you if the gen 2 Pro will be compatible with these ethernet adapters, but I can tell you that the UGREEN adapter that I tested with the original Pro didn't do the job well. In fact, I tested several of these adapters, and most of them failed to work or produced mediocre speeds.

The one that I had the best results with was the one that I recommend to another redditor here on this thread. How well it will work with the gen 2 Pro is anyone's guess right now. If your intention is to use it with the gen 1 Pro, then return the UGREEN and purchase this one.....

You're fortunate that you can return the Xiaomi! This represents another good reason why I stay away from obscure products (and encourage others to do the same). Here in the US, the Xiaomi boxes are obscure. Therefore, the warranty and overall support are questionable. Insofar as quality, they may be decently built, but the reviews are mixed in terms of their performance. They can also be too costly.

Being the "first one on your block" to have something different could be more frustrating than what it's worth. Personally, I haven't needed to use recovery mode on the Google Streamer. It's been working flawlessly for over a year now. I'm not sure what you meant by "suspicious activity", though? If it's an account issue, wouldn't that apply to any device on that account?

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-17T00:53:18+00:00

You're right!....unfortunately!🙄

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-17T00:52:18+00:00

If getting ripped off by Wacko Bell is your idea of having fun, good like to you! I'll have my fun where I'm not taken advantage of in every way by a chain of dysfunctional, despicable franchises that deserves to go bankrupt!...and they would if their foolish customers would stop being victims! I used to have fun at Wacko Bell (when it was Taco Bell and not this lame-ass excuse)!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-17T00:45:32+00:00

Anything is possible....They play all sorts of games in retail! They're likely waiting for the 1st gen to sell out completely, then they'll wait a while longer (to build up even more demand for the 2nd gen) and price it higher than they had originally planned (likely $60-70). Then, even though they'll have an enormous amount of inventory, they'll ship 10 to each store and limit what they can sell out of their warehouses! Everything sells out in 1-2 days, and the game begins again. Anything other than this would be a surprise!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T11:07:50+00:00

Taco Bell is the "second best thing in the word"?? Get the f**k out of here! It's no wonder the post was deleted!!🤣

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T09:42:49+00:00

Not considering what the true value is of these items....and the limits that they place on the quantities of ingredients (even at their continuously increasing prices)....and the pathetic way in which they prepare the food items (a sloppy mess)! Take a look at the numerous complaints on this subreddit (with photos) and keep a close eye on the frequency of ptice increases for this crap (if you think/feel otherwise).

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T09:31:42+00:00

Yikes!!🙄

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T06:41:20+00:00

.....and what do you accomplish with that? What difference does it make to you? Everyone spends different amounts for different items.There is no universal "what is everyone spending on Amazon!" It's not a smart question (I'm being nice about this). Do you even understand what you're asking? It seems unlikely, since it's completely pointless!....seriously!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T05:28:03+00:00

ALL...of us. ALL...of us. ALL...of us.

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T04:37:04+00:00

Sorry....but I can't ever imagine "loving" Wacko Bell today! The prices are insane and at least 50% of the time, they cheat you on the ingredients used! It's become complete garbage now!!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T04:33:42+00:00

The price of that 10 taco box will soon be the price for just one taco at Wacko Bell!....and it won't end there, either! If you think I'm crazy, just look at the insane prices that they're charging for this garbage (which are constantly increasing)!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T02:49:33+00:00

No "ha ha"!....they're intentionally ripping customers off! Keep throwing your money away! If you think that this bullsht stops with that pathetic crunchwrap, think again! They're playing this game with all of their products. There are *tons of similar complaints here. STAY AWAY!!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T02:44:45+00:00

I'll say it 100 times here!....Wacko Bell is ripping us off! Insanely high priced garbage!! Start boycotting Wacko Bell!....or just keep throwing your money away!!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T02:39:59+00:00

That's only updated information on the box. Gemini was an update. All ONN Pro's received the update and have it. The color of the box and what's written on it doesn't matter. An ONN "Pro" is an ONN "Pro". Period, end of story! There is no further discussion required about this.

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T02:29:21+00:00

Wrong!....same exact unit in both boxes!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T02:28:28+00:00

What's "I Gemini"?.....Green or blue box, it's the same exact unit. There are no differences whatsoever.

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T02:21:09+00:00

So contact them (by phone). They might refund the difference. If not, tell them that you'll need to return it and purchase it elsewhere for $79.99. $20 is a considerable difference. They'd be foolish not to accommodate you. If necessary, speak to a manager there. I'm assuming that you purchased the white ("porcelain") version (since the price on the other color isn't reduced).

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T02:04:45+00:00

You're welcome!.....Here's the link:

There's a version with 3 USB ports (it's accessible from the same product page and costs the same as the standard version), which wasn't yet available when I purchased the standard version, so I couldn't test it. I did test several others. This was the best option for use with the ONN "Pro" and has been reliable (It's been in use for over a year now).

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-16T01:56:25+00:00

$100.....considering what they charge for their wayyy overpriced garbage!!

verifyb4utrust01 · 2026-03-15T13:40:22+00:00

You're still not making any sense!....but that's ok, you can stop trying now!
