    Lorex model B451AJDB-E installation issues

    @Alan_Hepburn Yeah, Lorex will claim they have not tested your transformer, thus claim it's not compatible. Maybe temporarily use the USB power to rule out the transformer as a contributor. Also, if you do use a transformer not connected through an existing mechanical or electronic chime...

    Lorex model B451AJDB-E installation issues

    Lorex model B451AJDB-E installation issues

    My recollection is both the Chime and Doorbell need to connect to your WiFi. Not each other, but it’s been awhile for me

    Amcrest camera looses time and date

    I run a GPS+PPS Stratum 0 NTP source for <$50 on my local network and a firewall rule to redirect all client NTP requests to the my local NTP server. Ensures all clients have the exact same time (<2 usec offset/jitter) even when WAN is down, and avoids flooding public NTP servers with NTP...

    Starlink - anyone have it?

    I'd be interested if anyone has any experience with the Starlink Mini. I am considering having Santa deliver one to my sister and BnL, who spend a lot of time on the road in their Class A Thor motor coach.

    iOS Versus Android

    Those reports came out during a time when Samsung devices were catching on fire on airplanes and causing great bodily injury. So Apple likely performed a risk assessment on current products and elected to reduce the liability risk. As a shareholder, that was the correct move IMHO. If you believe...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    @Heavyopp I don't use BI or UI3, but you only need one instance of Tailscale running behind or on your firewall if you advertize sub-net routes. Then you can access any device using the private IP address assigned by your local network (not the TS assigned IP), including any web applications...

    iOS Versus Android

    iOS for the win! Android is a Google product. Android phone OEMs have no financial incentive to update their own version with apps/skins/etc for older devices after your initial purchase, so you may be stuck with an older OS with security vulnerabilities. The exception is Google branded...

    This car headlamp has cryptographic keys that restrict repair. HEADLIGHTS DO NOT NEED CRYPTOGRAPHY!! : Louis Rossmann

    Prevent theft and piracy. Same argument broadcasters are using to justify DRM on ATSC 3.0 OTA broadcasts. The real motive is to push cord cutters to paid TV services, where the broadcasters receive huge amounts of $ from retransmission fees. You want to find the truth in anything, follow the $.
