A few times a week Smart Home Manager will rapid file me 5 to 10 alerts with the following message about blocking a website:

Device: Google Nest WiFi Router

Description: We noticed that Google Nest WiFi Router tried to visit a website that posed a fraud risk. This risk tries to trick you into sending money with the intent of obtaining unlawful gain. We blocked the connection to stop private data from being exposed.

The alert provides the website address that was blocked. It changes and the address always looks sketchy. Firewall working, all good.

Here is the problem. I don’t have a “Google Nest WiFi Router” on my network. Smart home manager only provides the device “name” and no other information. No IP address and no MAC address so I have no way to track down the device. I have about 60 devices (between speakers, IOT devices, phones, etc), so the malware could be anywhere.

I’m not sure how it’s happening, but it appears the offending device is spoofing its identity to Smart Home Manager.

Since it happens at random times, sometimes daily, sometimes it won’t happen for a week, I can’t just disconnect devices to see what is causing the alert.

Any ideas on how to track down the device? firewall settings, logs, traffic sniffers, anything?

Thank you.

Coach here, but avid lurker of this Reddit. I love learning about the intricacies of the rules, the perspective of the umpires here, and the best way for a coach to ask about close calls. And thank you all for doing what you do.

Tonight 16u Little League tournament rule set. R2 and R3, no outs. Batter flies out to LF, R3 leaves early and scores on the throw to home. R2 rounds third, and knowing that R3 left early, goes home intentionally to get tagged out by the catcher to create a second play. Defense wants to appeal R3 leaving early, PU states (I believe correctly) that defense can’t appeal R3 leaving early because the R2 out was the last play. R3 run counts, R2 out.

Great heads up team play by R2. Post game discussion with the coaches, why not do that all the time on offense when you have runners on 2 and 3?

If the catcher realizes what is going on, I assume he could let R2 score then appeal R3, but you end up with the same result, just different order: R3 out on appeal but R2 scores.

Is there anyway to defend that play by rule in a way that the defense is able to appeal leaving the bag early to prevent any run (R3 or R2) from counting?

Would it make a difference if the fly out was the second out?
