re: Anybody have the Samsung Frame Pro TV?
Posted by FuzzyBearE on 11/17/25 at 11:02 am to iwyLSUiwy
I went with a different Samsung - They still have the picture frame features...and at the time the picture on the Neo Q was much better than The Frame models.
That was nearly 4 years ago, so not sure if they are still that different, or if Samsung has improved the frame models.

Definitely get some other parents to help out. Keep small groups going 4 or 5 in a group so that everybody is moving. Maybe have 2 or 3 activities going with them rotating to a new activity every few minutes.
No standing around!

I had wired keypads and sensors already.
Added the board from EyezOn that connects it to the internet and allows me to get text notifications and control things from my phone. It's a $109 add on circuit board. Might be what you need to upgrade the existing system.

OK - fair point - I didn't think about which he might be using the muriatic for.
I used to have to chase the pH pretty frequently. I don't have good results using muriatic - seems like things are out of whack again in a few days.
I use another pH lowering product - it's Clorox brand - again Walmart has it pretty reasonably and for my pool it lasts longer than using muriatic. Contents say Sodium Bisulfate.
I don't know why, but for my pool these products work better - it stays pretty stable for weeks at a time.

is it my responsibility to be getting CYA up and adding muric acid?
Just a small recommendation - use Cyanuric acid - instead of muriatic. The muriatic burns off really quickly.
Walmart has bags of "stabilizer" granules that are pretty reasonable - and my levels are much more stable.

I despise the ESPN app. I have to re-authenticate literally every time I use it.
Watched the replay of the baseball game - as soon as it ended - got a message to re-authenticate.
It's pure trash... as far as apps go.

a lot of things are cheaper on the walmart app than it is instore.
I was in Wal-Mart and saw a JBL bluetooth speaker I wanted in the case (roughly $300). I had seen it at BestBuy earlier for a slightly better price (Lets say $50 off). Checked the Wal-Mart app and it was the same as BestBuy.
Asked the chick at the counter and she said they couldn't give it to me for the price shown in the app. I would have to order it from the app and wait like an hour for them to pull it and then I could "pick it up".
I was so pissed I drove over to Best Buy and bought it there...
Walmart fricks you over for being in the store...

In college we went water skiing with a buddy's boat. Afterwards, he dropped the trailer off the end of the boat ramp so the tires were stuck against the ledge.
There was nowhere to grab to lift the trailer but one of the crossmembers. Buddy and I on either side lifted the trailer enough to get the tires dis-lodged, but then the driver pulled forward too fast and the trailer went over my leg and pinned me underwater. I managed gasp a breath as I went under and then was able to free my leg and stand up just as I was about to run out of air.
Always think the plan through - I should have made sure my leg placement was away from the trailer a bit farther. Just didn't think of what could happen in the moment.

Starter?
My son went to get gas in his X5 and then it would not start. Starter did not even try to turn over. Weirdly it also refused to release the parking brake - tow truck had to drag it up the ramp to get it on the truck.
German cars have some strange behavior when something goes wrong.

I got a BeatBot last year - it is good but not incredible.
Had a Polaris Quattro (runs off a booster pump) which I really liked, but I needed to replace some parts on it as it was wearing out. removing the booster pump and hose was a big factor in getting something different.
I was looking at a bunch, but then BeatBot had an offer with 3 year warranty included - so I took a chance. It cleans about 90% of what I see when I drop it in. They do release updates - but so far, nothing has allowed me to change some of the settings that I think would improve it's performance. Hopefully they will continue to update it.
I'm happy to go another 2 years with this one and then we'll see. So far no issues other than the paint job fading a bit.

OSX Password Reset.

Once you get access to the machine, having access to her email account will help with AppleID reset. Still gonna be some hurdles as you'll need answer to security questions - but hopefully they are logical and you can get through it.

I found a way to force reset an OSX password once...let me see if I still have the steps.
AppleID is going to bite you in the arse though.

Also just an FYI - some streaming services are included with other things you already pay for - AT&T mobile service includes an HBO Max subscription.

re: Help with Mesh WiFi System
Posted by FuzzyBearE on 1/24/25 at 12:39 pm to Hiking Tiger
I am running the TP-Link Deco Mesh which has been great for about 6 months.
I have AT&T Fiber - Hardwired one Deco unit upstairs, and the other 2 communicate with the base wirelessly and serve the downstairs.

This is the one I have, but there are higher end models - I had no need for those features, so I opted to not pay the premium for things I wouldn't use (WiFi 7)

Th e TP-Link Tapo cameras have pet detection feature that works well. I have never had it alert an animal incorrectly as a human.
