I have two Arlo doorbell cameras, one wired, one battery.

How/when do you recharge your battery units? As I understand it's about 6 hours on a USB to recharge the battery to full but I'm not really inclined a) to simply "not have a front doorbell" for 6 hours and b) have this naked ugly baseplate hanging there in the meantime.

What do you do? I thought about simply buying another one, identifying it as "front 2" and swapping as needed (this also having a spare for if one or the other actually fails?....

Sure would be nice if the batteries were removable.

I was originally a hardcore WoW player that drifted to casual to absolute disregard by WoD. GW2 player from launch, stepped away after 6 mo for probably 4 years, enjoying playing GW2 almost daily for the last 10 years.

Lately, seeing the Blizzard C&Dhammer had come out for Proj Ascension just as they launched the CoA expansion, I've been over there since early July just to enjoy what are probably the waning months of a pretty good private server.

And despite 21 mostly pretty-clever new classes and some new content, by the start of month two.... I realize I am/was bored out of my mind.

I don't know how many people appreciate the breadth of variety and depth of choice we have in GW2. I've played GW2 for a decade and frankly still have a fairly long list of stuff I want to accomplish, and more importantly, enjoy. My characters here mean something to me (I can't really pin down my main between maybe three or four of them), and any time I login I can certainly entertain myself for hours, even though a lot of it is stuff I've done scores or maybe hundreds (*Tarir) of times. Rewards I accomplish in GW2 largely benefit all my characters, so I never feel the drudgery of compulsory repeated content for each.

I dunno, I guess I'm just saying that despite WoW being a game I really enjoyed once, it just doesn't hold up to repeated play like GW2 does. As much as I occasionally crab about this or that in GW2, I genuinely respect the designers for accomplishing something pretty sublime. So thanks for that.

Top, the 'video' from the feed in the Flashforge app. It's also at MAYBE 10fps?

Bottom, a screen snip from the good old (http://(printer IP):8080/?action=stream which is perhaps 24fps. The fps are guesses.

Flashforge, why does the video over the SAME hardware look like it was filmed on a potato when processed through YOUR OWN APP vs a raw feed? Any ideas?

We have a standard home LAN - a few wired computers, a wired printer, and tons of wireless devices.

Love the RTax86 but we are struggling with the constant problem that wireless devices "lose" the connection to the wired printer. Release/renew on those devices doesn't seem to help, but actually rebooting the router works fine - they connect for "a bit" sometimes up to a day, but by the next morning they can't find the printer. The printer is set on a fixed IP xx.xx.xx.252. Works 100% with the wired systems fine.

At all times (that I can tell) the router 'sees' both the wired and wireless devices. They are all connected, they just can't see each other.

We've been limping along, just re-setting the router as needed (sometimes daily) but now I've installed some Arlo wireless doorbells and it just happened for one of them. Signal strong, router could see the device, but in this case the device couldn't see the router (it simply reports 'no connection' and doesn't report the wifi network as available) Needless to say, having a wireless laptop not finding the printer is an inconvenience; a security system not able to connect is a rather more serious thing.

If it's the router, fine, it's 2y old and out of warranty I expect. But I would like to solve the problem, if possible. It's still a pretty great router, everything else considered.

Thanks for ANY advice.

I see so many rule books coming out that have full page, full color illustrations, as well as every PAGE of the book not just "white" but a printed shaded color with some sort of marginalia whether it's celtic ribboning, crumple marks, whatever to make it look 'real'.

As I understand, the printing costs at a 10k book run for full color 400 page hardcover (A4) is something like $10-$20 per book. Not to mention the significant savings in art costs - a B&W lineart from a professional artist is what, $200? vs a full color image $500? $1000 depending on the artist? PER PRODUCT.

And then so many systems say you need a player book, a dm book, a monster book a setting book, etc?

It is not worth it.

Not only is it not worth it, I suspect it's doing a better (worse) job of undermining imagination, locking-in a particular narrow vision of what this creature looks like or how that sort of character should be.

Black and white lineart is FINE & ADEQUATE for purpose. If I had a choice between a rulebook being "pretty" and $20 in my pocket to buy ANOTHER product, I know which I'd choose.

Anyone else? This is version X.9

Even http://192.168.50.213:8080/?action=stream isn't giving me anything.

EDIT: the url worked fine before. I haven't tried the camera view in flash print/orca since it changed.

Do I understand correctly that when castora and the new "mirror" mechanic with nice loot was added, subsequently:

• the loot drops were almost immediately nerfed fairly hard (like, the same week) as being too generous
• a subsequent patch dropped that as I understand somewhat shifted some chest locations and again, made the rewards less generous
• now - pls correct me if I'm wrong - Eternity's Garden has even fewer chest locations and (it seems) more likely to be small than any other map

AS WELL AS an overwhelming commitment in the mastery system for this whole expansion:

(setting aside the 1 committed to simply being able to open chests at all) 3 Efficient Magic (chests take less keys)+ 4 Obscured Riches (more rewards) + 5 Prosperity Unleashed (completing mirrors gives you more charges) + 7 Residual mirror magic (bonus MF for doing mirrors) = a total of NINETEEN MASTERY POINTS dedicated primarily or solely to this 'cool new thing' ... which Anet has then repeatedly nerfed?

Do I have that correctly?

Sweet new reward mechanic for this expansion + **MAJOR** gameplay commitment to giving you more loot ** = constant nerfing to make it less and less rewarding as well as (apparently) a deliberate design choice in EG to reduce the implementation entirely?

I feel like I'm not understanding the design choices. Why have all the mastery mechanics for the expansion & zones be committed to a system that you're going to deliberately reduce, reduce, and then sideline?

In the US, it's supposed to be illegal for one side to unilaterally change the terms of an agreement.

I have the 0.25, is there any indication from FF about anything smaller, eg 0.2? In the fdm universe is smaller than 0.2 conceivable?

If I were to get a non oem one, how much work would that take (I presume the FF "convenience" of the nozzle units actually helps meaningfully)?

Note the "bench" structure in the center. I expected support trees for that horizontal span which is maybe 6-8mm above the plate. It did not.

How? I'm using FF HS PLA but...that shouldn't be able to draw an unsupported horizontal line...should it? Or what am I missing? The print itself turned out beautifully.

I went back and looked at the slice and sure enough, no support there. (Flash studio)
