    Router recommendations

    You could always change the router to be on whatever subnet the original one was... I agree with the advice about a second ethernet card. It's what I do. My cameras have no access to the internet!

    Router recommendations

    I set up my two AX92U (AX6100) units yesterday, with one of them as the router and the other in access point mode. My AC86U prior router is now also an access point. All are up to date firmware and even the AC86U is still getting routine updates. I was able to remove two old routers (one TP...

    Router recommendations

    For anyone interested, I just bought a pair of ASUS RT-AX-92U / AX6100 routers to upgrade my home network. They should arrive tonight. My network currently has an ASUS AC-86U as the main router with two older routers doing access point duty. The ASUS line are MESH capable, solid routers and I...

    I'm a fan of the Asus routers, myself. I have a AC-2900 / RT-86U, which does fine job running a VPN for me to connect to when I'm out and about. I'm likely to upgrade shortly, to whatever their current version of that platform is. It's a MESH enabled system, and I need stronger WIFI in my...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Fishie, I'm staying out of your Q conspiracy anti Fauci stuff, but that article about where is the virus made me laugh out loud. It is so full of errors and misunderstandings it could win some sort of award for getting the most things wrong in a single article. Thanks for the laugh. [emoji1787]...

    I'd like to see those charts too. But you're right, we can only make educated guesses as to what they may contain. However, if we combine questions 1, 2, and 5, we can probably get in the ball park. Here in this thread, we've talked about Sweden a lot. Early on, they had a very light response...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    A couple months ago we discussed the "excess deaths" and burden of COVID-19, with an action item to revisit it in March after enough time had passed for the data sets to include essentially all 2020 deaths. Here's a good visualization of the data...

    Hi guys, On the topic of "why has the flu gone away and yet we still have COVID-19?" One thing that is poorly understood because the media don't know how to talk about it is that the drop in flu is an actual drop in prevalence, not just reported cases. So, if 90% of people with flu symptoms...

    Among the coolest clips of all time (IMO): Perseverance landing videos from onboard cams!

    Things like this are simply amazing to me. What a great achievement! Well done NASA!

    Porch Pirates

    Is it awful of me to have wished that when the perp was trying to dig out his front wheel, which was still spinning fruitlessly, that the tire would gain traction and the car would run the guy over?

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Thanks. The hospital had serious protocols going on to keep COVID-19 cases separate from other routine things, including different wards on different air handling systems. The surgery was very invasive by nature and she spent 4 nights there before being released; the hospital had just opened up...

    It's Frankenscript, actually ;) I still check in from time to time but don't have as much time for social media as I used to. My wife needed a major operation about a month back and is still recovering. She'll be fine but is having a lot of post-op pain. Plus there's a lot going on with my kids...

    The posts I replied to clearly suggested Biden was racist in his choice of countries for travel ban; I clarified that it wasn't. As for the rest of these comments: I won't be playing. I'm going to keep to factual statements concerning coronavirus and response to it.

    Where do you get your information? The ban is primarily targeting UK and areas of Europe that are primarily white. The Africa stuff is barely a footnote...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Not really. The most common comorbidities are respiratory and circulatory/vascular issues caused by COVID. True, most of the dead were old to start off with, that's a major factor. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    A couple thoughts on this, while avoiding political discussion to the extent possible: 1. The standard of 40 cycles or thereabouts has been a worldwide standard used in most countries since the pandemic began and testing by PCR started. The US inherited this process from other countries. This...

    Using Embedded Works ioT data plans to obtain static IP to get around the double nat problem of using mobile hotspot data as internet access

    I don't think it's going to be a good solution, but here's something you could try, presuming you have a camera in your home to try this with. First, 64kbps, is that upload limit? Download limit? or both simultaneously? That's a narrow pipe for sure. If you have cams around your home, and want...

    Also, be sure to read the FAQ/WIKI re: wiring and termination. Stay with solid copper wire, not stranded or copper-clad-aluminum (CCA).

    @David L , I'm so sorry this happened to your family. Please accept sincere condolences. One thing we can probably all agree on: This pandemic sucks.

    One more post then I'm back to work for several hours: We talked last week about the death toll in the US and how we need to wait for the 2020 data to be finalized to really comment. Here's a multi-country analysis that is an interesting read...

    For those further interested in the tech behind these new mRNA vaccines, here's a fairly technical article from before the pandemic era that gets into it: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrd.2017.243 While the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are the first of their kind, and are new, they've been in...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The vaccine isn't a modified version of the virus in this case. It's a tiny bit of mRNA coding for the spike protein. The response of the body to the vaccine does generate Covid protein in the body and test looking for this specific protein would give false positives, but the PCR tests in...

    Parler alert: Beware early adoption of social media apps!

    The process for getting access to anything Twitter has is more arduous than just searching against the database scraped from Parler. Nobody can go to Twitter and say "gimme everything you have about..." Records have to be requisitioned by specific warrants. This is a general cautionary note to...

    Let's think it through a bit. Most transmissions occur in the home, because an infected person in the home can easily transmit to however many others are living there. This makes a lot of sense. But, the person bringing the infection into the home had to get it somewhere... gym, bar...

    The important point here in this graph is how many cases per million the state is seeing. On December 8, it was around 180 cases/million in Vermont, which was quite low compared to other states at that time, hence Fauci's comment. My state, Indiana, had 803 cases/million that day. That's over...
