As our 2018 LEAF SL has racked up some kms (125 000 kms), some clunks have become evident from the front suspension. After elimination of lower ball joints and A-arm bushings, I was scratching my head a bit on where all the racket was coming from. The video goes over a "new" check for front end noise that I have not encountered before. I hope it proves usefull.

I cover removal, diagnosis and repair of the driver's side seat buckle in a 2018 Nissan LEAF SL, with power seat. This method requires unbolting the four seat belts, but does not require removing the seat. You need a torque wrench, 16mm and 18mm socket, and a T10 torx driver to do the repair. The seat belt buckle is torqued to 36 ft lbs and the seat to floor bolts to 30 ft lbs.

I needed a tree removed. We have lots so I've been down this road a few times. My fav was the "Happy Arborist" who showed up with his dad and climbing gear but alas now retired. We had an outfit with a tracked bucket machine in the yard, which was a bit messy. I spied these guys at the garden show. Two thumbs up. Cool guys with a sense of humour, but very professional. It made for a cool video too :-)

I had an opportunity to compare the Trackmix WIFI (with the 4 watt LEDs) and the TrackFlex Floodlight WIFI (wired up like a 120V "dumb" floodlight"). In the review I test them out head to head with respect to camera tracking, and actually captured a somewhat inebriated gentleman testing locks out on vehicles in our back lane. I've been using various brands of security cameras for over 20 years and came away impressed enough with these cameras to put them into real world service after the review. The TrackFlex Floodlight in particular fills a needed niche, namely replacing existing 120V motion flood lights in just a few minutes and being able to detect motion in a 270 degree arc, out of camera view, and track it.

I discovered that you can indeed use the battery powered Reolink Doorbell with Frigate, but you need to connect it to a Home hub, and also power it via USB. The "trickle" charging terminals at the back of the doorbell will not keep it charged if you're streaming the lower resolution view back to Frigate for motion detection. This keeps the camera "awake" at all times, which it was not designed for with respect to the 24V AC/DC charging terminals. Also, again in Frigate, you'll want to check out this excellent update for go2rtc that I'm now using for all my Reolink cameras. This allows use of port 9000 access to the cameras which so far is far superior to the old RTSP method: https://www.reddit.com/r/frigate_nvr/comments/1uusriu/reolink_finally_near_perfection_fzurita_go2rtc/

This is what I've come up with to deal with the intense fire smoke and poor air quality we've been seeing here over the last few years. I've tested quite a few variations and have ended up with this setup as the external box requires no insulation for winter use, it will not impact your HRV/ERV air flow (remove the OEM fresh air filter on your unit) and the filters last up 2 years.

I found a few posts here with folks having issues using secure print on the Canon ImageRunner Printers. We have the iR 5540 and iR 249IF ADV printers on site. If set up correctly, the user will see an option for "Secure Print" in the Printer Properties/Preferences for "Output Method" (in addition to the default "Print") and then enter a PIN. The printer should then store the print job under the "Secure Print" icon on the printer's control panel which the user would then release by selected their job and entering their PIN. Here are some issues that caused hours of grief to resolve. If a secure print job fails, there is typically no error log entry on the printer, and the print job simply disappears for the client making it somewhat hard to diagnose!

I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out to enable "Secure Print" via the Canon Printer's remote GUI, as there was not a check box anywhere to enable it. It seems to be enabled by default on these printers and the user guide/manual can be very confusing on this point.

1. Install the lastest PCL6 driver, not the UFR as for us, the secure print option was not available in the UFR driver.
2. We have the print queues hosted on Windows 2019 servers, with the drivers pushed out via group policy. The printer port configuration on the server for the Canon Imagerunner is setup up a standard TCP/IP port. You need to have "Enable bidirectional support" toggled ON for the port, and when configuring the port, you need to have "SNMP Status enabled" toggled OFF. That SNMP checkbox is easy to miss!
3. On the print server, you need to go to the printer driver properties, and then the "Device Settings" tab, then make sure "Secure Printing of Device" checkbox is ON. In this same tab, you may need to refresh the printer settings (refresh button top left) if you don't see the "Secure Printing of Device" checkbox. If the driver cannot pull the settings from the printer, see step 2! Users may need this driver refreshed on their workstations depending on your Group Policy etc. settings (gpudate /force) if they do not see the Secure Print option.
4. Accessing the printer home screen (at the printer) you may need to enable the secure print icon for users, and make sure it is displayed on the home screen. The icon looks like a 3 pieces of paper with padlock at the corner.
5. Secure print jobs will NOT show up in the normal job log/status on the printer. Users need to access the Secure print icon you enable in step 3, select their job, and enter the PIN to print. If a user has set their printer default output method to "Secure Print" they may forget to look for subsequent jobs in that Secure Print area...

Hope that helps folks 😄
