I am going to be installing a Tower UPS for a small business and the location of this device will be somewhat visible to customers and the white is going to stand out. I'd like to spray paint the unit (owner has approved) matte black as the area this device will live in is already a 'dark/low light' area so the black will help the device blend in.

I'm assuming that any black matte spray paint for plastic will work, but I won't be installing this for a few weeks and the hardware has not arrived so I have some time to come up with a plan.

I know people have painted their cameras, but I never have, so I'm looking for some feedback from those that have gone through this process or a similar process.

Thanks.

If I click on PC parts, Internal Hard Drives I get 0 results. If I click to chat, I get taken to a page showing 0 results.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues with that website?

I'd like to invest in QQQM and looking at comparable fidelity options ONEQ pops up.

I'd like some feedback on pros/cons of going with one over the other.

For those that have been in a similar scenario, did you stick with the fidelity fund or go with the external option and why?

Thanks.

I have a new iphone where settings were copied from previous iphone, I've done this a couple times over the years and wireguard profiles all migrated to the new phone. This phone is about a week old and while the profiles are there and connect, I can't get certain services to work on the phone, but I can ping all my PCs/devices over the wireguard tunnel on the phone.

If I install the same WG profile on my windows 11 laptop everything pings and works fine on my laptop, but on the iphone I can ping but nothing else is able to connect. For example, on my phone, I can't connect to plex and jellyfin (they run on the same PC on the remote/home network). I can ping the PC that runs those services, but they don't respond when I open the app.

If I disconnect from my phone and connect from my laptop, I can open plex and jellyfin w/o issues.

I created a new wireguard profile (pivpn wireguard server) and added it to my phone (to rule out migration issues) and I have the same issues, I can ping any device and the server, but the services won't connect.

I have starlink setup as a secondary WAN link and everything seems to be reporting/working fine in unifi. However, the bar graph for the majority of the day has been showing as yellow with very little green sections in between. I'd say it is 95% yellow.

When I hover over it tells me high latency, which is expected with starlink, but the stats to google/reddit/whatever unifi has preconfigured are around 30-39ms.

For a backup link and satellite I'm fine with that, but I don't want to login and see yellow bars all the time on the backup WAN link.

Is it possible to tweak the zone of what's high, low, etc for latency?

I don't think this is possible, but I figured I would ask here.

Thanks.

I have a 4gb LACP setup between a synology NAS (4 NICs) and a 48 port unifi switch. I setup the LACP on the synology, first, then created the aggregate ports on the unifi switch. Everything works fine (this is a backup link, 10gbe is primary link) but the log shows the 4gb LACP link flapping up and down every 30 seconds.

Pings don't drop to the 4gb LACP and all NICs show as connected on the NAS (at 1gb each), everything appears to be working fine its just the constant logs that are bothering me at this point.

Edit- One thing I can't figure out is why STP isn't blocking the 4gb link since this switch is connected to the synology via the 4gb LACP link and a single 10gb connection.

First off, I want to be clear that I'm not making programs to use at work. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I want to be clear that these are personal projects and I've already incorporated one python based program that has actually really helped me with some tasks I was manually doing.

I see all these posts with AI creating images, flyers/posters/etc and every time I ask ChatGPT to make me a flyer it gives me very basic designs often with something spelled wrong and I have a hard time getting it to fix the mistakes. For example, a misspelled word takes 4-5 attempts to correct and when it does correct, something in the images changes....the color, the image breaks, etc...

For my python project, I had it build me something very, very basic but the GUI/front end looks very dated, when I ask for updates to the GUI to look a bit more modern, features of the program go missing, break, etc.

I am also paying for the pro version so it isn't a 'limited to free tier' that would be causing the issues.

I'm asking this question because I see other people posting their projects and they look extremely professional. Of course it is possible they are developers and they are building better front ends on their own, but I figured I would ask here, first, in case there was something I was doing wrong.

I want to reiterate that I'm not looking for perfection and for ChatGPT to be a 150k developer that doesn't make mistakes.

Thanks.

I have a dell (work pc) that I'm troubleshooting. It has gold support and Dell is actively working on the case, but you know how that goes.

Dual video cards work fine on their own in each slot, I tested this. The cards appear in windows device manager and the three monitors work fine. Then within about 30-40 minutes one of the cards will disable itself from device manager, I have to re-enable, reboot and all three monitors work again.

I've updated drivers from windows update and checked the Dell site for drivers as well, both locations show drivers as being up to date. I did update BIOS and chipset when I was on the site because I knew support would have me do that, no change.

While I wait for support, it got me thinking, can I just get a usb to display port for the monitor that keeps going offline when the video card disables itself? I will wait for Dell to attempt to correct this, but this is a remote to me PC and I need a working solution.

This has happened once before and both cards were replaced, but this time support is being more picky with the logs and support requests.

Thinking about something like this

When I start a podcast and begin a walk, it takes about 15 min or x amount of 'walking pace' before the watch asks me if I'm on an walk, usually I press yes. Once this happens, the walking/activity app is always on display on the phone and I can swipe to get to my active podcast (I use the Pocket Casts app) and I have quick access to the skip +30 button which I use during ad breaks.

However, sometimes I'm listening to the podcast when the walking/activity app is not running and I want to skip forward 30+ and I can't seem to swipe right to get to the pocket casts app.

No problem, I thought I could add a widget for Pocket Casts and I don't seem to have that option. I tried to add a widget for 'Now Playing' but when I'm playing the podcast through Pocket Casts nothing appears under the 'Now Playing' widget.

Is there a way to get the Pocket Casts widget to appear on a swipe regardless if Activity is running or not?

Thanks.
