    Definitely got the tower to yourself! Are you using the T-Mobile gateway included with the service?

    Old PC good enough?

    I've been using an old spare system for my BI setup since day one. It's an Intel i5-4440 and has 16GB of RAM. I did gut the power hungry graphics card out of it, because it was used for gaming previously. It has worked great and has been on 24/7 since I installed BI.

    So from my reading more on the Yubikey it appears that it's not supported by most banking institutions. But, if your email provider supports it wouldn't that be all you need? Just set up your two factor authentication codes to go to email only and you would use the Yubikey then to sign into...

    I've been reading about these Yubikeys this afternoon. Pretty cool stuff.

    My point exactly. Even if you use long complicated passwords and change them often, if the damn teller is the one stealing your credentials then you're wasting your time. At my bank it's all a bunch of young kids basically working there. I think some of them look at their wrist watch and...

    I have the same concerns. My bank account got hacked a few years ago. I just happened to be in the office on my PC and started getting emailed bombed. I mean someone was just spamming my inbox. I started deleting the emails in blocks as they were coming in. All of a sudden I get an email...

    I've had my credit card hacked three or four times over the years. My business CC was part of a data breach that Home Depot had years ago. Somebody charged over $9,000.00 in roofing materials on my card. The CC company had to eat it. That's why I use CC......it's not my money. It's really...

    T-Mobile 5G Home Internet AND Blue Iris

    Yep, owned the Cheetah for awhile but sold it. Also had the same guys Ninja, and had issues so I returned it. Alfredo is a good guy though and does have some good products. I've also tried a few different Suncomm units.

    T-Mobile 5G Home Internet AND Blue Iris

    They have a support forum as well which is very active. Yeah I read about that guy that claims his SIM got fried......whatever. I have tried so many different alternative routers/gateways. This Spitz is the closest thing to set it and forget it that I have ever used. I'm not trying to sell...

    T-Mobile 5G Home Internet AND Blue Iris

    Great thread!!! I've been using T-Mobile home internet since it first came out with the little white LTE gateway. My setup has really morphed over time. I abandoned the stock gateways because they lack features and control. The white router is the Glinet Spitz GL-X3000. You can adjust TTL...

    Home assistant advice

    So I installed VirtualBox on my Win 11 machine and I'm trying out Home assistant on it. It's pretty impressive so far. My lady is getting me an Intel NUC for Christmas to run HA on as a permanent home for it. I was wondering if it's possible to set everything up on my Windows PC, do a backup...

    Home assistant advice

    I'm assuming that HA would run fine then virtualized with say my Channels DVR also running on the same box? HA as well as others recommend a NUC for installation. Even the low end models seem overkill to run just HA. So that's why I ask. Right now I run my Channels DVR on a Raspberry pi...

    Home assistant advice

    There's also the option to install a smart Plug where the garage door opener plugs in. Add a converter that wires into the wall mount switch terminals of the garage door opener and plugs into the smart plug. Now you can open and close it from whatever dash board....phone/tablet etc. I did...

    I haven't bought anything yet. As far as the M.2 slot, I was just going to buy an enclosure for the SSD that has the slot built in. Then connect it to the pi with USB 3.

    Here's the USPS tracking for the package I was supposed to have delivered today.

    Never thought I'd say this, but.....

    The USPS is horrible where I live. For the longest time I wasn't getting my mail and some of my mail wasn't making it to its destination. I had them send test letters trying to figure out what was going on. As it turns out they had an employee down at the post office that got caught on camera...

    Stupid .dll missing....

    This reply was very helpful. I downloaded the file again and this time used a Unarchiver tool that worked like a charm. I can now load the firmware update tool with no errors.

    Stupid .dll missing....

    I think you're on to something. Yes it was unzipped. The .dll files are in the list of the unzipped updater.

    Stupid .dll missing....

    Its a Fibocom FM 170 modem in a M.2 to ethernet enclosure. Software is a Fibocom windows update tool supplied directly from Fibocom. I guess I'm more interested in what others have done to fix similar errors from trying to run any software they may have on their system. These errors are not...

    Stupid .dll missing....

    I am tinkering with a new cellular modem/router to deploy for my home network. I want to update the firmware but when I run the updater program I get the two included system error messages. I'm running windows 11 but I get the same two errors on my Win 10 machine. I looked in both the System...
