I'm going to attach it to this so I can have a smaller display and save desk space. I might also run a visualizer while playing music too.
Got a tip for us?

2 of the 3 cameras have arrived, and the switch isn't far off, so the next thing is 100M of outdoor rated Cat5E, and a bunch of Gel connectors.
I've been shopping some of the same products, I'll be watching to see how your install goes (I'd rather run [PEO] ethernet vs. using WiFi and having to run power)
BTW, my TB3 drive shipped, I can't wait to get a photo of the drive in an otherwise empty box ... *snicker*
When (starting to feel like _if_) I see them as a B stock, I'll grab one!
Can't wait for my wife to open hers ... so I can use it all the time
(she's coming from a 7, but it should still be a pretty amazing upgrade for her).Daughter is getting a new 11 (and her first actual phone line/number <3)
you’ll probably have an easier time product wise - the choices here are essentially cheap Chinese brands on marketplace sites, or largely the same cheap Chinese brands sold at much higher prices in regular retailers.
We actually have power within pretty easy range of where all the cameras will be, but I doubt the wifi signal will penetrate the countless concrete walls (even internal ones) and if I have to run Ethernet for an AP I may as well just run the Ethernet outside. It also has the added benefit that I can just run the POE switch from a UPS (router is already on one) and power outages won’t suddenly kill the whole thing.
The biggest “gamble” so far really is that the onvif feature of the cameras works as advertised, so I can use them with https://www.bensoftware.com/securityspy/ or similar.
I’d have bought something with HomeKit compatibility if they existed here, but recent events have turned this from a “hey we should do this some time” to “hey we really need to ****ing do this thing right meow!” so waiting for someone to start importing a compatible model isn’t an option any more.
I've been watching the b stock too and got impatient. Plus this will help with the BLON B20's, of which I'll be posting my review of soon.
This is my latest and maybe last Apple computer purchase! It's my 16" MBP adorned with some stickers.

why last? You moving to Mars and Apple products dont work there?
Nah, the last Apple computer I had was a spectacular mess and I'm not terribly interested in going through a similar experience again.
I’ve always been concerned about plastic push fit stuff. Not sure how durable it is over time.
But if your water corrodes copper pipes what is it doing to your insides?
Any recommendations on your favorites? Ive tried a couple and hated them. Looking to soften mine up and stop the stragglers.
Thanks

It appears to be durable. At least the type that’s joined with crimp rings. Can’t really say for the push on connectors.
As for what it does to my insides, I’m reasonably certain that my insides aren’t lined with copper
Someone is getting L-A-I-D that night. ?
Goodness what a lineup. ?
does it have mechanical switches/buckling springs or had they already switched to membrane by the time that one was produced?
