Speeds FASTER after 7.16.2

I’m astonished that I am seeing 200-213 MB/sec (yes Megabytes - I have 2.5gbit connection) to a laptop connected to my second Pro 7 node via Ethernet while connected to a work server downloading 100gb of files this morning for my workday.

The eero nodes are not connected via Ethernet.

I’ve had the pro 7s for about 6 months and while I’ve had great speeds, typically 120-180 MB/sec) this is easily the fastest I’ve seen sustained to this machine.

Now if only there was a way to not have them update so it would always work this well…

LS50 Wireless II HDMI Audio Suddenly Stopped Working?

Have an AppleTV 4K (latest generation) + 4 year old LG OLED + LS50 Wireless II bought at same time as TV.

– LS50 wII are connected to HDMI2 / ARC on LG

– ATV connected to HDMI 1 and set to output via TV speaker.

– LG set to output sound via HDMI2 / ARC

Was working fine yesterday (and for the last almost 4 years) and my son who was home all day said it was working earlier today. Then tonight I pick up the ATV remote and power on (typically TV, and LS50s and ATV all turn on) and no sound. Has a null symbol on TV when I try to adjust volume.

Noticed LS50s didn't turn on > Powered on manually > "TV" is just pulsing on the LS50s

I have rebooted everything, and unplugged/re-plugged HDMI, but still getting the "TV" pulsing on the speakers like they aren't seeing it.

Other things I can try? Other advice?

Thank you!

MK1 Audi Concert w/ Bose + CD Changer - BT Dongle

I bought an aliexpress dongle for BT hoping to add it to the car. After wiring, I can connect to it, my phone can see it, clearly it is getting power, but the head unit just says it can't see the changer/magazine.

I properly spliced it in based on Youtube tutorial here which got a similar dongle working fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKcGbkzNNnU. What the video shows makes perfect sense and is how I wired mine up, but alas, no dice.

In his video, he shows CD-R and CD-L on the wiring diagram but mine shows "AF-R" and "AF-L" on the wiring diagram. The other pins are the correct for power and ground and I have appropriately spliced into them given I can see the BT connection and connect to it.

Just wondering if anyone has any pointers on this one?

Thank you!

ATTN SF Bay Area R32/R/VR6 Owners - Annual R-B-Q Coming Up!

Just relaying what I saw on the FB page to get an audience here because I know there are Bay Area folks around these parts!

**PLEASE NOTE: Due to limited parking this event is for R32's / VR6's / R's only**

​Mark your calendars for the Bay Area R32 annual summer gathering. We’re heading to Stevens Creek for a day of food, catching up, and taking a break from the routine.

​Date: August 22

Time: 10:00 AM

Location: Stevens Creek County Park

Area: Sycamore Group Picnic Area

​​​Since the park is fairly large, we suggest mapping the specific site to make it easier to find—the Sycamore Group Picnic Area is searchable on both Apple and Google Maps.

The site features large grills, so feel free to bring whatever you’d like to throw over the fire.

A quick reminder: Let’s keep it respectful. No burnouts or reckless driving in or around the park or up 9. We want to keep things smooth so we can continue to be welcomed back.

​Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

WG VPN not working on WiFi where I am traveling

Hasn’t generally been an issue for me in the past but on this trip I am staying on a family member’s boat in a marina. The marina has WiFi at the docks, it’s a Ubiquiti setup.

Trying to use the wireguard connection back to my FWG+ is failing. It can connect but it cannot load data if I am on the WiFi here.

If I drop to cellular, it works fine, so I know that the connection is valid. I just haven’t run into this before, so I’m wondering what the deal is.

Any advice for things I could try?

AdChoices Ads Popping through All of a sudden

In the last few days or so I've noticed AdChoices ads coming through on places they did not used to. Some older forums I go to frequently and other sites too.

My config hasn't changed.

My setup is XB10 xFinityModem > Firewalla Gold+ w/ Pihole on one of the ports > Eero Pro 7 in bridge (AP) mode.

All DNS in Firewalla Gold+ is set to hit Pihole's reserved IP.

I know that on my Firewalla, ipv6 is disabled so my network shouldn't be leaking ipv6, at least I don't think. When Eero is in bridge mode I read that ipv6 isn't owned by the Eero so that shouldn't be it.

Because I am running through Firewalla it isn't easy to see in the live Pihole logs where those ads are coming from since all requests come from the same IP.

I have the default list and DeveloperDan list in place, and used to be fine, but now am not. I added AdGuard and Hagezi to see if it helped, it didn't so I removed them.

Example of a site I'm being served AdChoices ads - https://www.ttforum.co.uk/threads/engine-bay-mods.507626/

Any ideas? Thanks

Ricobene’s Burger Flavor Help Request

Last month we were visiting Chicago and were on our very first visit to Ricobene’s where we all enjoyed what we had. The burger was a huge hit and has been repeatedly brought up as a new burger benchmark by our kid.

I also had a bite and thought it was really great flavor.

Just wondering if anyone knows their method or can get me close? Are they using a special blend of meat too? I’d like to try and replicate it as a surprise. Thanks!

ECOVESSEL Bottles - Buyer Beware

Hi Homies, I wanted to post a buyer beware on EcoVessel.

6 months ago I spent good money on two 24oz bottles with their “Reflecta” 2 part lid.

Neither of the small cap seals have held up well. My son’s was just discovered to have some newly embedded mold even though we washed very regularly.

I reached out to EV and their response was as follows: “Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, replacement lids and accessories are no longer available for our legacy EcoVessel bottle collection. The good news — your bottle is still perfectly usable, and we'd love to make this right! For Reflecta Screw Top Lids, we can offer a 20 oz Black Shadow Boulder as your replacement for only $9.99 (plus shipping) with this discount code to thank you for your support as a loyal customer.”

So they are not going to support any products they are currently selling on their site and through other retailers. They are even doing “all sales final BOGO” right now without disclosing anywhere that you can’t get accessories anymore.

They don’t even have any other lids you can purchase on their site.

Their only solution is to offer to swindle consumers for another $20+ for another bottle with the same lid + shipping – and they won’t support that going forward.

Stay away at this point I’m pissed I dropped $59-60 on 2 bottles and this company appears to be shit.

Trying to help my mom lower her internet bill

I've been stuck with xfinity where I've lived for decades and have never dealt with Cox, but they seem to be jacking rates at an absolutely insane pace.
My mom's got just Cox 500Mbit speed service and her pricing is going up to $145/mo, which seems absolutely outrageous for that speed when I'm paying $120/mo w/ xfinity for 2.5Gbit. She lives near Hartford, CT so she's not in some wasteland either.

Looking at the Cox website, the promo pricing is listed at $85, the regular pice appears to be $109, so where her plan is being sold to her at $145/month is beyond my comprehension.

Anyway, if anyone has a good script or specific method to follow with them to get a better price, please do share. Thanks!

This is from years ago but is a bra I'd like to replace with something similar. It's from VS and the tag reads [411133-H42 RN54867 CA23226 ID36009462 08 20].

It has an inner mesh layer which is attached at the sides that really holds things in place where it needs to, but lacks the mesh elsewhere in the bra. The outer layer can be lifted up separately from the inner for a quick sheer peek.

I've been looking around but haven't found anything similar and putting those numbers in searches didn't come up with results accurate to what this bra is. Thanks.
