2024.05.21 14:08 RoleComfortable8276 Alarm bells a'ringn - a first

I'm grateful that my two AiBnb units are occupied most of the time in my [unfortunately] low-revenue, non-destination-location, quiet suburban neighborhood.
My cleaner and I put great effort into presenting each guest with a stellar experience, and we seem to be accomplishing that, virtually all the time.
Here's a kink that never occurred to me, with all the scrubbing, dusting, airing, fluffing, and amenities we carefully stage to welcome each guest.
A lovely guest (third timer) got RUDELY awakened at 4 AM on her vacation by a loudly annoying alarm clock going off in some other room.
Clearly, someone right before her, occupying the second bedroom in the unit, had used the alarm, or perhaps more likely - a guest had a child with curious hands, who, unbeknownst to all [God bless that brat 😆], turned on the alarm clock.
There was nothing I could do for the poor guest who reported this (who knows how late they'd stayed out the night before), but she was most gracious when I found out, and I promised her such a thing would never happen again.
We're PROUD of our turnovers. We think of and go to lengths such as fan blades. Baseboards. Dust on chandeliers. Fresh batteries. Lightbulbs all working. Clocks displaying correct time. Making sure lawn guy didn't drop a cigarette butt or candy wrapper somewhere outside. Recheck the bathroom once AGAIN after bringing in a plumber for some leak or drain or faulty faucet. In other words, PLACE LOOKS PRISTINE.
NEVER ONCE stopped to think of CHECKING that tiny alarm button nobody even uses anymore to see that it's off.
Never ONCE has a guest reported a discourteous and thoughtless device making itself known with a dreadful, sleep jarring sound, forcing some abruptly awakened poor woman to play hide and seek in the middle of the night, and wander around an unfamiliar space at %X*$!&#@ AM, searching for a maddening noisemaker with the most grating sound, oh where, oh where is that button - without even coffee in me - so I can return to my bed and get back to S-L-E-E-P???
It's been a lonnnng time since I've added a task to our turnover checklist. But even one [brief, but oh, so] miserable guest encounter will change that!
We WILL check the clocks - ALL OF THEM - every time, and ensure such a [arrrrgh!!!] vacation-obstructive buzzkill can NEVER occur, even if it's once every [I've been hosting for] six years.
GOOD ONE!!!
Anyone else ever had this experience???
To those to whom it has not: Has it occurred to anyone else to check clock alarms when doing turnovers? I'm so interested!!
Most obliged in advance for your responses

Hi everyone! This chapter will read a bit quicker due to all of the dialog. As always, comments and upvotes let me know you're still interested in the story.

_______________________________________________________
Once everyone was aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mira seemed to relax a little. Davis and Thompson were chatting away with Vebi and Fennis. Povin still stayed near Mira when the officers were chatting with each other. She felt a little lost now that her services as translator was no longer needed. The winds were much stronger here, and one of Povin’s wings got caught in the wind, causing him to lift up. He reflexively opened his other wing.
“Povin! Remember! Glide! Do not flap!” Mira yelled at him.
“What was that Chief?” Thompson asked.
“I’m sorry sir. Ensign Povin’s wing got caught on a draft. They come from a lower gravity world so if he tries to fly, our gravity will break most of his wing bones and tear through his wing skin. The atmospheric belts they wear can maintain their own atmospheric conditions, but it can’t keep up if they full on fly.”
After riding the currents and getting used to how it felt under his wings, Povin was eventually able to land. He quickly wrapped his wings about himself tightly to avoid doing that again. The rest of the remaining Drala quickly tightened their own wings about their bodies.
“I see. Let’s get everyone inside.” Admiral Davis replied. “Chief Rodreguez, your Captain Martinelli sent over your uniforms.” He called over a sailor who had a duffle bag which was handed over to Mira.
Mira looked a little closer at one of the Destroyer escorts. “Sir, is that the USS Bainbridge I see?”
“Yes, it is. You think your Captain would allow us to come get you and not be a part of the escort? Once we stopped receiving responses, he has called in almost daily to NASA to get answers. Honestly, I was willing to bet that if we denied his ‘request’ to join the escort, he would have gone rogue to be here.”
“I’m not so sure about that. Captain Martinelli wouldn’t break protocols like that. He might have been hailing like crazy until someone gave him answers, but never would he go rogue.” Mira replied.
As she finished saying that a sailor came up the Admiral, “Sir, Captain Martinelli of the USS Bainbridge is on the horn for you.”
“You were saying, Chief?” Davis chuckled. “Maybe you should go take that call. We’ll be in the Ready Room. Come see us there after you have spoken with your captain and made yourself Navy presentable.”
“Yes, sir!” She saluted, received the return salute, and headed to the comms room. In the comms room, she was directed to the receiver. “This is Chief Mira Rodriguez speaking.”
“Chief. It’s good to hear your voice again. Do you have any idea how many calls I received from my nephew? I don’t know how he was able to get people to patch him through so frequently while on duty himself, but he’s very resourceful. I have to admit that. Did those aliens treat you well? And who took down communications like that?”
“Yes, sir. I was treated extremely well. I haven’t had a chance to be debriefed yet, so I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say over comms.”
“I understand. You should be able to say at least if the comms were interrupted by the aliens.”
“Not by the aliens I was with, sir.”
“I understand. Go do what you have to do, Chief. I hope to see you back on the Bainbridge soon.”
“I hope so too, sir.” She replied. The call ended and a sailor took her to where she could change her clothes as well as where the Ready Room was located. Once she was in her khaki-colored Shipboard Working Uniform, she headed to the Ready Room and then waited to be told she could sit. The Flx’usri each had their specialty chairs, and the Drala were able to manage the human chairs.
“Is Captain Martinelli well?” Admiral Davis asked.
“I believe his is calmer now, Sir. However, I suspect he will grill me himself once I am returned to his ship.”
“That sounds about right, Chief. I wouldn’t expect any less of him.”
“Grill? Are you in danger, Chief Mira?” Vebi asked worriedly.
“Grill is slang for question soundly, Rear Admiral. I promise that I will be completely safe with my Captain.” Mira looked around and noticed Commander Morris wasn’t in the room. “Excuse me, Sirs. What happened to Commander Morris? I thought he had survived the assault?”
“I’m sure he’s somewhere on board the ship. When we left to this room, he had been distracted. You know how these ships can be hard to navigate for non-Navy enlistees.” Davis replied.
General Thompson added, “If I had not spent my earlier enlisted time on board Navy vessels, I likely would have also been confused. I always did enjoy the Marine Taxi Service.” He joked. The Admiral gave him a poke with his elbow good naturedly. It was a sign that they had been friends as well as coworkers for a long time.
Admiral Davis explained to the aliens, “The General and I belong to different branches of service. Each branch has a love-hate relationship with all of the other branches. We all have our strengths, and our weaknesses are proudly backed up by the strengths of the other branches. It’s like having siblings. I can tease and make fun of my siblings, but if anyone else does, I will fight them to submission and make them apologize to my sibling.”
“Ah, I understand,” Vebi replied. “I feel the same way about my spawn-mates.”
Fennis cut in, “I understand the diplomate you had intended for us was lost in the conflict. We would prefer if Chief Mira were to be this for us. She has lived with us, and we have forged mutual respect for each other.”
“I believe that can be arranged.” Davis replied after a few moments of thought. “Bureaucracy takes time, and the rest of the Chief’s enlistment will have to be accounted for, but I believe this can be arranged.” He chuckled. “Captain Martinelli will be both happy for you and pissed we’re taking away his highest-ranking Machinist Mate aboard the Bainbridge.”
They began talking and getting to know each other and finally, Vebi asked, “I understand you will need to speak with others to make a real decision, but do you think your people will join the Federation?”
General Thompson beat Admiral Davis to it as he said, “They touched our boats. No one touches the US Navy’s boats and gets away with it.” Davis gave Thompson a small elbow to the ribs showing that the two men were friends outside of their official responsibilities.
Eventually, Commander Morris found the Ready room and General Thompson gestured for him to take a seat. “Now that we’re all here, Chief, how about you give us a full debriefing. Start from leaving Earth.”
“Yes, Sir. The mission started off great. Roger was able to correct course as needed, but the autopilot we were using was very accurate. We were all asleep when it happened. I’m a light sleeper and the pings against the hull woke me up. Looking back, there must have been a harder hit that woke me up first, but at the time, all I heard was the lighter pings. I got up to take a look around and then the alarms went off that we all knew meant to get into our space suits. Once I was in my suit, I realized no one else was in the room with me.
“I grabbed a suit with the intent to help someone into it and then we could go back and help others. They were all dead. The atmosphere in the ship was completely gone and we were no longer noticeably moving. I was staring at either a short and rough death once my air ran out, or if I could fix the life support, I could be looking at a long agonizing death from hunger. I never turned away from a challenge, so I was determined to fix the ship.
I fixed the life support and power at the same time. Now I was only going to face a long agonizing death. It was then that I jettisoned the dead. Hindsight being 20/20, I realize it was the wrong choice. I know that Commander Morris felt I should be able to make a refrigeration room, but if you look at the ship and the schematics, but assuming that I knew I was going to survive and make it back home, that ship did not have rooms that were airtight. They are close, but do not seal all the way. Secondly, I didn’t have the materials to make it so that the air didn’t circulate out of any room I put them in.
“At that time, I fully expected that I was going to die out there. It would take time for any message to get to Earth, time to fabricate a new ship and crew it, and time to get out to me. Time that I didn’t feel I had.”
Davis interrupted. “The seals weren’t airtight?”
“The exterior ones were, but any of the interior doors were not. They used a different kind of seal material, and in some cases, we could see light through a closed door. Even the door that was supposed to be the airlock for if we had to open the exterior door for anything. That one was the best seal, but there were still leaks.”
“Continue.” Davis said.
“I was out fixing the thruster when the crew of Black Hole found me. You haven’t met them, and I don’t think they can even come down here. The federation uses color outlines on their emblem to denote classes of ability to survive on worlds, I guess would be the best way to put it. Black Hole is a Green Class. They have the fewest worlds they can touch down on and survive. It’s based on allergy. If they were to even touch the plants here, they would get hives. The Meteor's crew is a Black Class. They can go to nearly every inhabited world. They might have to be careful of gravity, or if the air quality or temperatures are too extreme for the atmospheric belts to handle. Our world is classified as a Black Class planet.” She then relayed the rest of her journey.
“Do you think we can speak with these other heads of ships?” Thompson asked the aliens.
“Of course.” Fennis replied. To Vebi he said, “If you hail Commander Xuan’rawis, I’ll hail Captain S’sveta.”
After getting their targets on a video call, they both headed over and got their counterparts in view too. “We still have two hours until our nocturnal counterparts awaken. We’ll have about an hour of overlap, and then we will need to rest ourselves.” S’sveta said.
The leaders all spoke with each other, leaving Morris very confused as he did not receive a translator implant. Thompson told Mira she could act as his translator, so she did.

2024.05.21 13:25 harbearbug hemorrhoidectomy (positive, help, advice)

I really wanted to put this out here for anybody who might be searching the internet in a panicked fear about making the choice to get this surgery or not. Or just looking for advice to make the process easier! On Friday (5/17) I finally went through with the absolutely DREADED hemorrhoidectomy. I was absolutely terrified based on the stories I read on here, and elsewhere on the internet. Today is Tuesday (5/21) and I’ve literally had no resting pain so far, other than feeling sore at the site. I’ve had a bowel movement every morning for the past 3 days, and felt nothing more than mild stings and some pressure. Now I want to start off by disclosing the fact that I did have exparel administered at the time of my surgery (long lasting local anesthesia) if you can get this, I believe it is one of the keys to minimizing your pain. Not only because it quite literally takes the pain away for the first few days by keeping you nice and numb, but because of that you will not be loading up on narcotics (which cause constipation, the place I think most people with these dreaded stories are coming from) With that being said, the most important thing is to prevent constipation at all costs. I took Miralax once a day until I finally moved the bowels, then stopped. I drink a glass of prune juice every day (just 1) I also drink 1 glass of Metamucil per day (1 tsp in a cup of apple juice or water) I only ate Greek yogurt, chicken broth, oatmeal, grapes, pineapple, cantaloupe and tons of water (6 water bottles about) I’ve also taken my ibuprofen around the clock, I set an alarm and take it just to be ahead of any pain that might come even though I have never felt like I needed it yet. Sitz bath 3-4 times a day and after a bowel movement, and lidocaine cream after bowel movement. My doc said change the gauze 4 times a day, I find myself doing it much more frequently because I pee a lot since I’ve been drinking so much water, so I change it when I use the bathroom. I never lay on my butt, even when I was numb I just laid on my side so that I didn’t irritate anything. For the first few days I iced my butt as well to manage the swelling. I have a little portable bidet that I use during bowl movements that helps with the burning. I’m only on day 5, so I have a lot of healing to do still. But so far it’s been a cake walk compared to the horrors I’ve read on the internet. Just lounging around, rewatching GOT and letting the healing do its thing! I know everybody is different but I think if you take this surgery seriously and prepare knowing that your choices play a huge role in recovery and some of this can be within in your control, you can do it. There are some things that are not within in your control, which leads me to my next point.. your surgeon. I believe mine was the best of the best, he is a colorectal surgeon, not a general surgeon. You need to go to a colorectal surgeon who does this day in and day out vs. a general surgeon who does this surgery way less frequently. I can’t be sure, but from all the positive stories I’ve read, an actual colorectal surgeon seems to be the one thing everybody has in common! You can’t control what’s being done, but you can control who is doing it! Best of luck everybody !! I hope this helps somebody

2024.05.21 13:24 can-not-find-me Looking For a Game Name

The game's shortcut icon features a classic twin bell alarm clock. The gameplay doesn't involve building structures. Instead, you manage a base where you train soldiers. The base consists solely of a castle with a few buildings inside it. There are two different factions in the game. You can capture tents scattered across the map to train cavalry. This is a very old game that used to run on Windows XP.

CPU - Following the graphics card, the processor stands as the second most pivotal element in your gaming laptop. Although the GPU generally bears the brunt of gaming demands, the CPU significantly influences overall system performance and holds the potential to bottleneck the GPU's capabilities. Gaming laptops housing more robust GPUs are often accompanied by 8-core processors. In the mid-range spectrum spanning $400 to $800, you'll typically find quad-core CPUs. While dual-core CPUs can handle gaming, they aren't optimal since sustaining boosted clock speeds might not always be achievable.

RAM is generally the most straightforward laptop component to upgrade. So, if you're working with a tight budget, you have the option to choose a laptop with lower RAM and later upgrade it yourself. Overspending on RAM is unnecessary; 16 GB is sufficient for gaming. However, considering 32 GB can provide future-proofing for your laptop.
Storage-wise, if your budget permits, it's advisable to select a laptop equipped with an SSD for storage. An SSD can significantly enhance a laptop's speed, particularly when compared to an HDD. This translates to reduced boot times and quicker load times, resulting in noticeably improved performance.
Please don't hesitate to offer your thoughts or pose any questions related to the laptops listed here. Your input is appreciated.

CPU - Following the graphics card, the processor stands as the second most pivotal element in your gaming laptop. Although the GPU generally bears the brunt of gaming demands, the CPU significantly influences overall system performance and holds the potential to bottleneck the GPU's capabilities. Gaming laptops housing more robust GPUs are often accompanied by 8-core processors. In the mid-range spectrum spanning $400 to $800, you'll typically find quad-core CPUs. While dual-core CPUs can handle gaming, they aren't optimal since sustaining boosted clock speeds might not always be achievable.

RAM is generally the most straightforward laptop component to upgrade. So, if you're working with a tight budget, you have the option to choose a laptop with lower RAM and later upgrade it yourself. Overspending on RAM is unnecessary; 16 GB is sufficient for gaming. However, considering 32 GB can provide future-proofing for your laptop.
Storage-wise, if your budget permits, it's advisable to select a laptop equipped with an SSD for storage. An SSD can significantly enhance a laptop's speed, particularly when compared to an HDD. This translates to reduced boot times and quicker load times, resulting in noticeably improved performance.

2024.05.21 12:42 BlueberrySharp7 My strange experiences

  1. I am not diagnosed with “Synesthesia”.
  2. I am diagnosed with Autism-Spectrum-Disorder.
  3. Sometimes I see colors that fade again.
  4. I put this into google and “Synesthesia”.
  5. I went to Reddit “Synesthesia”.
My experience history: 1. Sometimes, apparently “randomly” I will see a color pop up. This is getting more common after 3 months of regular zen meditation. 2. When I look at the walls, sometimes I look at the “patterns”. And when I focus on a particular one for a while, it gradually seems to gain a little color. It’s weak and usually a type of red. 3. In most cases I have ever experienced those it was ONCE blue, a FEW times green and MOST of the time a kind of red or light purple or pink-red. 4. I often go over chess games blindfolded and I always remember them after going over them once. 5. Right now the clock says 12:36. When I look at the numbers, I always think of the patterns like 123 and 6 is all of those multiplied together. Or 2304 is 48 squared. It’s very natural for me.
Problems: 1. I thought that most people experience Synesthesia since near-birth. 2. Synesthesia tends to have specific/clear and consistent associations, like number-color, that I can not see for myself, or don’t have. 3. I am confused now.

2024.05.21 10:46 AdmiralStone96230-A MURDER DRONES: Fall of Earth: -Chapter XIII: Handed the Keys to Victory- (Pt. 1)

Wade's visor beeped to life as his alarm system went off, the murder drone's clock showing the time, "8:00 AM", changing to his green-yellow eyes as he woke up. Tina's visor activated as well, the drone girl's own alarm activating she awakened from slumber with Wade.
Stifling a yawn, Wade looked to Tina as he rubbed her back, easing her as she rose upright. "Good morning, sweetie."
"Morning, Wade." Tina replied quietly as she looked to Wade, the two drones smiling warmly as they took in each other's presence. Noticing they were both almost completely bare of clothing, the two drones blushed as Wade began to move off the bed.
"Well, I should get something on." The former worker drone stated as they touched down on the floor, Tina grabbing her green shirt from the counter as she tried to get dressed as well.
"So should I." Tina said back as she put the shirt on, memories of their recent night together still fluent in her mind as she slowly walked over to the kitchen.
The last hours of the past night had been calm for the most part, Wade and his friends detailing their tragic capture, the loss of his brother Ron, the rescue of the drones, and finally, Tina and Wade's miraculous escape from the factory before returning to the base. After the chatter in the bar, the group split off to go their separate ways for the time being, Jasmine going with Wade and Tina to help them into her place before leaving them to watch it while she went to get some food for the next day. During their quiet stay in the apartment, Wade and Tina made small talk over what to do in the future before having what humans would call a... very pleasant night together.
And now, with the new day approaching, the drone couple had to get ready for whatever came ahead. Walking over to his clothes on one of the vacant chairs in the living room, Wade picked up his shirt, slapping it on him before glancing to Tina, who merely wore her copper brown pants and green shirt from yesterday. Smiling at his girlfriend, Wade spoke to her as he turned back around to continue redressing himself. "Seems Jasmine went out somewhere this morning. I don't see her anywhere."
Tina listened to Wade as she inspected the counter, noticing a small sticky note lying on it as she took hold of it. Tina could tell it was left by Jasmine, given the handwriting. The note said, "Morning you two! Went to get some food I forgot to pick up, I should be back shortly after you wake up. - Jasmine"
The pilot drone smiled as she read her sister's note, then turning to the living room to speak to Wade. "She went to get some breakfast, we should expect her to come back any minute now." Opening the fridge, Tina grabbed two cool cans of oil, one for herself and another for Wade. Setting the cans down on the counter, Tina closed the fridge before taking hold of the cans again, taking them with her to the living room where a fully dressed Wade now resided at.
As Tina took a seat next to Wade on the couch, the disassembly drone examined his built-in smartcomm, trying to add all the still active contacts he remembered off the top of his circuits as he spoke to Tina. "It's gonna be hard, being my own person without Ron." Chuckling, Wade smirked at Tina, finding himself unsure at his own words. "Or maybe I'm just overreacting."
Tina chortled at Wade's inconfidence as she tried to bring him some, handing him one of the oil beverages as she spoke. "I think you'll do fine, honey. I've run into some disrespectful humans in my life too."
Wade nodded in understanding as he took a sip of the oil, the sound of the front door opening catching the drones' attention as Jasmine walked in. Carrying a paper bag full of food items, the human pilot spoke aloud. "Morning, you two! Just had to finish an errand I screwed up last night."
"Oh, it's not a problem for us, Jass." Wade replied as he took a sip of his oil, Tina looking over to the kitchen wall as she listened to her sister.
"How was your night? You lovers passed out on me when I came in, so I just rested on the couch." The lover drones gave looks of apologetic concern as Jasmine walked back into the living room, the woman noticing Wade and Tina's faces as she continued speaking. "It's nothing, though. I slept well."
"I hope so, we didn't mean to take up the whole bed." Tina responded as she gave a blush of embarrassment, Wade nodding in agreement as Jasmine replied back.
"I did, really. Besides, you two deserved the bed after all you put up with yesterday. Gotta have some place to blow some steam."
Wade and Tina smiled at Jasmine's comment, then blushed as Wade questioned about her phrasing. "Wait, you mean that as a euphemism or...?"
A knock at the door shut up the discussion, Wade standing up as he offered to handle the visitors. "I'll get the door." Tina nodded as he walked over to the apartment entrance, checking the small peephole before opening the door. Looking down, he saw two beings: a human and drone soldier whom he assumed were from the Coalition given their specific body gear.
While he took notice of the militia duo, the drone soldier spoke up to him. "Good morning, we're looking for a..." He lifted up what appeared to be an ID card, Wade glancing at the object as he heard the drone continue his question. "...Wade Carter? We heard he resided here since last night." Looking to Wade again, the drone stopped himself upon finishing his sentence, then picking himself up as he spoke further. "Come to think of it, you look like him."
Wade smiled warmly as he spoke to the two guests. "That's right. You need something?"
"Eh, more like the other way around, actually." The drone soldier replied as he handed Wade the ID, the former worker drone taking it in his hands as he glanced over it. The ID showed him from when he was still a worker drone, but was thankfully untarnished from the factory as Wade held it tightly. Before he could speak, the human soldier handed him a pouch carrying what Wade presumed were a few more of his personal belongings. The drone soldier spoke once more as Wade took the pouch. "We found these while scavenging the storage bays at the factory, we've been heading around delivering them back to those they belong to."
Wade smiled brightly before finally speaking in a grateful tone. "Thanks, Sirs. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."
The two soldiers nodded as the human one replied. "Just doing our job, Mr. Carter. Have a pleasant morning." With that, the troopers departed the apartment complex, leaving Wade to himself as he shut the door.
Heading back inside, Tina and Jasmine looked to Wade as the former spoke to him. "Who was that?"
"Just some boys from the Coalition, and just like Nathan said, they finally found my ID!" Wade answered before showing the card off, Tina grinned happily as she saw it, Jasmine giving a simple smile as he spoke further. "Feels good to have it back, I think that was what was keeping me down a little yesterday."
"Well, at least you won't have to worry about that anymore." Tina replied as Wade put the card in his pocket, taking his seat again before setting the pouch at his legs. Taking notice of the pouch, Tina asked, "What's in that? Battery candy?"
Wade shook his head as he began pulling out the items inside the bag, speaking to Tina as he examined them. "Oh, no, looks like some more of my belongings." Once he was done, Wade put the pouch on the couch's cup holder, on the space behind the drink holders themselves. The items were other various cards and papers with various personal information of Wades written on them, along with Wade's wallet. Wade found it almost comical that the items were all separated from each other, rather than being inside the wallet after getting cleared out.
Tina seemed to agree with Wade's thoughts as he began reinserting the cards into his wallet. "Well, that's silly. They just put everything in that little pouch instead of putting it all back in that thing."
Wade chuckled as he put his ID into the frontal window pocket of the wallet. "Yeah, guess they had to clear every little part of it before sending it off." As he finished restocking his wallet, Wade glanced to the pouch before continuing. "Besides, that IS a nice pouch."
"It sure is." Tina replied before taking another sip of her oil can, Wade putting his wallet away as she spoke again. "On another subject, however, you think we should go see if Nathan's around? Him and Kurtis could come by and have some small talk."
Wade nodded as he started to speak, but stopped as Jasmine spoke first. "Actually, I ran into F earlier while at the market. I heard from her that Nathan was going to be joining her for a date later this afternoon." Glancing to Wade, she finished with, "So he might be already busy for the moment."
Taking his own oil can, Wade shrugged his arm as he replied. "Eh, no problem with that. Don't wanna kill a growing relationship, now do we?"
Tina chuckled lightly as she agreed with her boyfriend. "Indeed, if it were us, they'd probably do the same fo-"
The chatter stopped as another knock sounded at the door, Wade moving to get up again as he glanced to the ladies in confusion. "Another visitor?"
"You think it could be F?" Tina made a wild guess as Wade approached the door, glancing out the peephole in slight surprise before opening the door.
Wade felt as if their talk about the Ceres couple had been a form of summoning as he saw F and Nathan standing at the door, bearing strangely serious expressions as they were greeted by the former worker drone. "F! Nathan! Funny timing, we were just talking about you. Come on in, have a seat."
As the two walked past Wade, F pat him on the shoulder as she spoke to him. "As much as I'd like to visit Wade, I'm afraid we're not gonna be here long, nor are you and the Fowleys."
Wade raised an eyebrow at her reply as he followed Nathan and F, the two simply standing in front of Tina and Jasmine as Wade returned to the living room. "Oh?"
"We're leaving? Should we get dressed and pack our things ASAP?" Tina asked with mild concern as F replied to her.
"Yep, you're on the ball with getting ready, but we're... not exactly leaving." The disassembly drone's words brought a confused face from Tina as Nathan clarified his crush.
"We got a call from J, just as we were heading to one of the diners here." The two drones paused for a moment, glancing to each other as they almost spewed out about their date, but shook it off as Nathan continued with little hesitation. "She told us that Tessa had intercepted some kind of transmission, one that might help us clear up this situation with the company faster than we initially thought."
F gave an affirming nod on Nathan's explanation before adding to it. "Her and J are playing host to a meeting held by the general stationed here, and she wants us to attend." Glancing over Wade and the Fowley sisters, she finished the explanation with, "They especially want you two to come as well, given what you both went through."
Wade and Tina gave blushes of embarrassment at the news, honored by the invitation but also a little uncomfortable with their elevated status as they glanced to each other. After taking a moment to process what they heard, Wade broke the silence. "Well, I did make that promise at the factory, and to J and Tessa earlier... and I intend on acting on said promise." Looking to Tina, his girlfriend gave an agreeing nod as she stood up with him.
"Glad to hear it. We don't have to be in that much of a rush, though, the meeting doesn't start until 10." F stated, Wade and Tina both glancing at the clock to check the time before looking back to their murder drone friend with nods of acknowledgement.
Standing up from her chair, Jasmine stretched as she announced her goals to the room. "Well, in that case, I should hit the shower."
"Right, I'll get myself fixed up too." Tina replied as she looked to Wade, the two sharing warm smiles before heading to the kitchen. Noticing the still unstored items on the counter, Tina spoke aloud. "Jasmine? You mind if Wade and I help store the groceries in the cabinets here?"
"Sure, thanks!" Jasmine answered in a grateful tone as she went off to the bathroom in the back of the apartment, Tina glancing to Wade as she began to take some food out of the bag.
"I'll get the refrigerated stuff." Wade stated simply as he took some items out of the bag, Tina putting her chosen food stuffs into one of the cabinets as they worked to unload the fresh consumables from Jasmine's errand.

Transformed a cheap Chinese GC-01 geiger counter into quite a good counter
First thing I did was upgrade the firmware so it could add particle clicks and conversion rate the firmware also has rate and does alarms, graphs, average does, cumulative does, and instantaneous does rates, different units, and you can change brightness and the color theme, there’s also a clock, and there’s still more. I also added a SBT-11A alpha beta gamma Geiger muller tube so I can detect alpha and it’s way more sensitive than the Chinese tube that it came with. I like it quite a bit, what do you think

2024.05.21 10:27 Hour_Collection_2161 Abusive neighbor

My allegedly drug addicted neighbor’s abusive, violent and shocking behavior has evolved from her controlling when, and if I am allowed to use my front door, to me rehoming my cat and harming, my own body in fear of using my toilet.
When my neighbor first moved in, she was yelling and screaming in the hallway that my door is too loud she yelled and screamed that I don’t know who I’m messing with that. I need to set my ass down bitch and shut the hell up this went on for hours I scaring not only me but my cat Littles, at the time. I called the police and then told the operator never mind because I was afraid that police would only make it worse. Because I no longer could bear her banging on my door, banging on my walls, telling me she’s going to kill me that I’m nothing that she is going to fuck me up for daring to use my front door because the noise is too loud. I decided to use my back door knowing that this woman is on drugs. I have seen her drug dealer come in and out of her apartment and banging on her door looking for payment. So needless to say I’m afraid of her and her capabilities. Using the back door calmed her down for about a week. Then she eventually started up with the abuse again banging on my door, banging on the walls for hours, yelling and screaming that she’s going to kill me and that I don’t know who I’m messing with. At this point I did call the police and I have called the police on her many times and none of these times the police have done anything helpful and have never helped me get her under control. So now I’m terrified to leave or enter my home at all. I no longer run to the store and back home. If I’m out of my home, I stay out for hours. I think long and hard before I open my doors if it’s worth another abusive outburst. Since she moved in back in January, I no longer run to my favorite coffee shop and back home. My entire life now only consists of only leaving my home for essentials like food and work. I no longer use an alarm clock as she can hear it and this has created chaos in the mornings and it’s just no longer worth it. I try to keep a window open and face the window when I sleep, so the sunrise can wake me up instead of a loud alarm clock. If I have an appointment that I really can’t be late for I just sleep in my car so I can use the my alarm on my phone.
I no longer wait for the buzzer on my microwave to go off as it infuriates her and sends her into a rage proclaiming that I need to sit my ass down and “stop making a hot plate! I know you ain’t making no hot plate! Sit down and shut up bitch!” I have had to give away my cat Littles because the sound of him scraping his litter in the litter box at night made her so dangerously rageful that I no longer felt that this was a safe environment for him. What has started as me being forced to no longer use my front door has devolved into countless nights of me being curled up on my bed, crying and terrified to move off my bed for fear the creeks on the floor will send her into another hours long rage where she bangs on my walls and on her ceiling yelling in the hallway, and at my doorstep that she is going to kill me that she’s going to make me homeless, screaming that I’m a bitch and I’m a hoe and that I don’t know who I’m messing with. So I remain on my bed causing me multiple bladder infections. On nights I can no longer hold it and muster the courage to carefully quietly and slowly tiptoe to the toilet I don’t flush it after the sun goes down as I am aware that this causes her to be furious with me. I wait until at least 7:30 AM as this is an acceptable time for which she allows me to use my toilet. This has resulted in my toilet clogging at least five times since she has moved in. If you are wondering if I shower at night, the answer is of course not. I no longer use plastic shopping bags for my groceries and have switched to cloth not solely because of the environment but because the noise draws her into a violent verbally abusive rage. I grew up with a father, very similar to her, someone who would fly into abusive, narcissistic rages screaming for hours in my and my mothers face while she and I held each other on the couch or he would scream for hours outside of a bathroom door that I looked myself into protect me from him. The rage fueled punishments were for things like putting, a mug in the “wrong” side of the sink or forgetting what asked for at the store.
Dealing with this lead me to feel like I am worthless my whole life, and caused a lifelong battle with depression and anxiety. When my father died two years ago, I thought I was finally free of the verbal abuse. I thought I could finally rest. I started to be happy and gain some confidence only to be met with the same abuse at a home of my own that I once loved. Because of my neighbor I am the same scared daughter, shaking and crying in a corner, terrified of moving in fear of angering my abuser. And still no one is protecting me.

When my neighbor first moved in, she was yelling and screaming in the hallway that my door is too loud she yelled and screamed that I don’t know who I’m messing with that. I need to set my ass down bitch and shut the hell up this went on for hours I scaring not only me but my cat Littles, at the time. I called the police and then told the operator never mind because I was afraid that police would only make it worse. Because I no longer could bear her banging on my door, banging on my walls, telling me she’s going to kill me that I’m nothing that she is going to fuck me up for daring to use my front door because the noise is too loud. I decided to use my back door knowing that this woman is on drugs. I have seen her drug dealer come in and out of her apartment and banging on her door looking for payment. So needless to say I’m afraid of her and her capabilities. this calmed her down for about a week. Then she eventually started up with the abuse again banging on my door, banging on the walls for hours, yelling and screaming that she’s going to kill me. And that I don’t know who I’m messing with. At this point I did call the police and I have called the police on her many times since none of these times the police have done anything helpful and have never helped me get her under control. So now I’m terrified to leave or enter my home at all. I no longer run to the store and back home. If I’m out of my home, I stay out for hours. I think long and hard before I open my doors if it’s worth another abusive outburst. Since she moved in in January, I no longer run to my favorite coffee shop and back home my entire life now only consists of only leaving my home for essentials like food and work. I no longer use an alarm clock as she can hear it and this has created chaos in the mornings and it’s just no longer worth it. I try to keep a window open and face the window when I sleep, so the sunrise can wake me up instead of a loud alarm clock. If I have an appointment that I really can’t be late for I just sleep in my car so I can use the my alarm on my phone.
I no longer wait for the buzzer on my microwave to go off as it infuriates her and sends her into a rage proclaiming that I need to sit my ass down and “stop making a hot plate! I know you ain’t making a hot plate! Sit down and shut up bitch!” I have had to give away my cat Littles because the sound of him scraping his litter in the litter box at night made her so dangerously rageful that I no longer felt that this was a safe environment for him. What has started as me being forced to no longer use my front door has devolved into countless nights of me being curled up on my bed, crying and terrified to move off my bed for fear the creeks on the floor will send her into another hours long rage where she bangs on my walls and on her ceiling yelling in the hallway, and at my doorstep that she is going to kill me that she’s going to make me homeless, screaming that I’m a bitch and I’m a hoe and that I don’t know who I’m messing with. So I remain on my bed causing me multiple bladder infections. On nights I can no longer hold it and muster the courage to carefully quietly and slowly tiptoe to the toilet I don’t flush it after the sun goes down as I am aware that this causes her to be furious with me. I wait until at least 7:30 AM as this is an acceptable time for which she allows me to use my toilet. This has resulted in my toilet clogging at least five times since she has moved in. If you are wondering if I shower at night, the answer is of course not. I no longer use plastic shopping bags for my groceries and have switched to cloth not solely because of the environment but because the noise draws her into a violent verbally abusive rage. I grew up with a father, very similar to her, someone who would fly into abusive, narcissistic rages screaming for hours in my and my mothers face while she and I held each other on the couch or he would scream for hours outside of a bathroom door that I looked myself into protect me from him. The rage flu punishments were for things like putting, a mug in the “wrong” side of the sink or forgetting what asked for at the store.
Dealing with this lead me to feel like I am worthless my whole life, and caused a lifelong battle with depression and anxiety. When my father died two years ago, I thought I was finally free of the verbal abuse. I thought I could finally rest. I started to be happy and gain some confidence only to be met with the same abuse at a home of my own that I once loved. Because of my neighbor I am the same scared daughter, shaking and crying in a corner, terrified of moving in fear of angering my abuser. And still no one is protecting me.

2024.05.21 09:05 Full-Ad6279 DW-H5600 notifications

Hello, I’m thinking of buying H5600 and I have some questions regarding notifications. I couldn’t find info either here or in YouTube reviews. 1. When phone is ringing the watch is keeping vibrating until you answer it? Or just vibrates few times and that’s all? 2. When you get a message, it disappears after few seconds or after reading it on phone? Or just stays displayed on watch screen until you read it on watch (this is how it works on my Huawei smartband and I hate it)? 3. Does it vibrate when alarm clock on phone rings?

🔗High-Definition Wireless Outdoor Security Camera with Smartphone App


https://preview.redd.it/cxukh82h0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b39558e836c332f5abd317681b7b63159fd5c8b
Recently, I had the pleasure of testing out the 8CH Expandable All in One Wireless Security Camera System with 10.1" Monitor. This outdoor camera kit, Cromorc Home Business, comes with a Network Video Recorder system and outdoor camera that allows you to follow in real-time what's happening around your home or business. The NVR system offers a 10-inch LCD monitor that connects automatically with the 4 cameras without the use of wires.
One of my favorite features of the Cromorc system is its high-resolution Full HD video of 1920 * 1080P and night vision with clear images thanks to the 3 integrated Infrared Array LEDs. I was impressed by the camera's ability to record day or night up to 7/7 and extend the viewing distance to 20 meters. Additionally, the cameras have a metal housing and IP66 weatherproof protection, which is perfect for outdoor usage.
However, I did notice a slight drawback in the night vision quality. The range at night is not as great as expected, but overall, the system is good for the price. The motion detection function notifies you with a real-time SMS on your smartphone through the IP PRO application on iOS or Eseecloud on Android's Google Play, which is quite helpful.
In conclusion, the Cromorc Home Business is a reliable and expandable outdoor security camera system that offers a convenient and easy-to-use monitoring solution. With its Full HD video quality, night vision, and motion detection features, this system makes an excellent choice for securing your home or business.

https://preview.redd.it/2ammqz7h0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b36146fa49b22d6dd71448c10429c9a6e54114ae
I recently tried the Cobra FV-CV1 Full HD Cabin-View Camera and it exceeded my expectations. The 120° field of view and adjustable recording angle made sure I could capture the entire cabin interior in stunning detail. The infrared night vision function was particularly useful, as it captured the interior footage in crystal-clear clarity even during the darkest hours.
The installation process was a breeze, with the simple plug-and-play mechanism. It took just seconds to install it in my SC 200. The only downside I encountered was that I couldn't use the front and rear facing dash cam at the same time.
Overall, Cobra FV-CV1 has become an essential addition to my daily life, offering peace of mind and ensuring I'm prepared for any incidents on the road.

🔗Ultimate Smart Dash Cam - 2023 Editor's Choice Winner


https://preview.redd.it/b8rth58i0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f1c1c00a62ed4651660d1cd1445e49337eaac6f
As a savvy driver, I was always on the lookout for the perfect dash cam. That is until I came across the Cobra SC 400D. A friend of mine recommended it, and I was surprised at how intuitive it was to use. The real-time alert system and Alexa integration were just some of the features that made this dash cam feel like it was made for me.
The Cobra SC 400D Ultimate Smart Dash Cam boasts a sleek touch screen, which I found incredibly easy to navigate while driving. I also appreciated the voice command feature which, although still a work in progress, added a level of convenience I hadn't seen before.
However, nothing in life is perfect, and the Cobra SC 400D wasn't immune to its quirks. The app-based Drive Smarter community integration could be frustrating at times, as it required an unpredictable WiFi connection and the occasional firmware update. Moreover, I encountered a minor issue with the GPS mount attachment, which was tricky to align at first.
Despite these problems, the Cobra SC 400D proved to be an excellent dash cam, providing me with a reliable solution to record my journeys and monitor my surroundings. It's an ideal companion for anyone looking to enhance their driving experience.

🔗Cobra SC 100 Smart Dash Cam with GPS and Bluetooth Connectivity


https://preview.redd.it/jzqu1qki0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f12157eea1c5400723ebc53926852a0fa43d8b1a
One sunny afternoon, I decided to take my Cobra SC 100 Single-View Smart Dash Cam on a test run. The setup was quick and easy, and the dash cam's sleek design remained inconspicuous behind my rear view mirror. As I headed off on my journey, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort knowing that my every move on the road was being captured in crystal-clear Full HD resolution.
The Cobra SC 100 boasts a plethora of features that ensure your safety on the road. With continuous loop recording, I knew that I wouldn't miss any key moments. The emergency Mayday alert system was a particular highlight for me, as it gave me peace of mind knowing that I could quickly alert emergency contacts in the event of a severe accident. The dash cam's Parking Mode and Motion Sensing functionality also made me feel more secure, as I knew that it would be keeping an eye on my vehicle even when I wasn't in the driver's seat.
However, there were a few aspects of the Cobra SC 100 that didn't quite live up to expectations. While the app's connectivity was smooth, I found that the GPS location and speed information were only embedded in the video clips intermittently. This, coupled with the occasional sound recording that I couldn't seem to turn off, left me feeling a bit frustrated.
Despite these minor drawbacks, the Cobra SC 100 proved to be a reliable and impressive product. Its sleek design, easy setup, and wealth of advanced features made it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking a reliable dash cam.

🔗Ultra Compact 1080P Full HD Dash Cam with Motion Sensor


https://preview.redd.it/zqqler5j0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2df4c6030f5af6d46a771bff9752722f14429e21
The Cobra CDR 820 HD Dash Cam has been a reliable companion in my daily drive. The ultra-compact size allowed me to install it discreetly, and the 1.5" LCD screen made it easy for me to review the footage. The wide 118-degree angle ensured that I could capture clear videos from any angle, even in long-range situations.
The product's pros include its ease of use, seamless installation, and the ability to record high-quality videos with impressive detail. The camera also featured a motion sensor and G-sensor for automatic recording and protection of crucial footage during accidents, which was a nice addition.
However, there were also some minor drawbacks. The battery life was relatively short, and I had to rely on a 12V power source to keep it running. The sensitivity of the G-sensors seemed to be too high, causing unnecessary "locks" for even minor vibrations. I had to disable the motion sensor and G-sensor to avoid these issues.
Despite these drawbacks, I am satisfied with the Cobra CDR 820 HD Dash Cam's performance. It captured clear images, had a user-friendly interface, and offered easy access to recorded footage. It's worth investing in a dash cam for added security and peace of mind.

🔗Smart Dash Cam with Dual-View for Crystal Clear Video and Hands-Free Voice Control


https://preview.redd.it/oihp2rvj0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93d85af3c5c4142445b3c2407fd7c8a8db0f11a0
I recently installed the Cobra SC 200D dual-view smart dash cam in my car, and I must say, it's been an interesting journey so far. This little gadget has captured some stunning footage of my daily commute, and the ability to switch between front and rear view is a game-changer. The 3-inch LCD screen is the cherry on top, allowing me to review the footage right there on the spot.
However, there have been a few hiccups along the way. For starters, the voice command feature didn't quite work as advertised. Sometimes it missed my commands, and other times it responded with the wrong action. It would be nice if the technology was a bit more reliable in this area.
Additionally, I found the app to be a bit tricky to navigate at times. It took me a few tries to figure out how to download the clips and upload them to the cloud storage. A more user-friendly interface would have made this process much smoother.
Overall, the Cobra SC 200D has its ups and downs. While it provides a great view of my surroundings and captures some lovely footage, the voice command feature and app could use some refining. But all in all, it's been a worthwhile addition to my car.

🔗Cobra SC 201 Dual-View Smart Dash Cam: Advanced Safety and Security Solution


https://preview.redd.it/x0q2jilk0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92b92d1742ce32423eb476ac8f9e0c6149527451
Imagine cruising down the road with peace of mind, knowing that your every move is captured and recorded by the Cobra SC 201 Dual-View Smart Dash Cam. This incredible device offers a dual-view feature, allowing you to capture the road ahead and your vehicle's cabin interior in crystal-clear Full HD (1080P) resolution. The built-in cameras are equipped with infrared cabin night vision, ensuring that even in low light conditions, you'll have crystal-clear footage of your interior.
Setting up the Cobra SC 201 is a breeze, with its convenient 2" LCD screen that allows you to easily view and access the camera menu and settings. The Drive Smarter app connects you with the Cobra driver community, providing real-time road alerts that can help you stay one step ahead of potential hazards.
But what sets this dash cam apart are its safety and security features. Continuous loop recording, emergency Mayday alert, Parking Mode, and Motion Sensing all work together to ensure maximum protection for you and your vehicle.
While there are some pros and cons to consider, overall, the Cobra SC 201 Dual-View Smart Dash Cam is a reliable and valuable addition to your daily driving routine, offering peace of mind and an extra layer of protection on the road.

The Cobra Smart Dash & Rear Cam SC 200D QHD 1600P WiFi GPS has been a real game-changer in my daily life. Installing it in my car took some time, but once it was set up, I was blown away by its functionality and ease of use.
One of the key features that stood out to me was the high-quality video recording. The Quad HD front video quality and Full HD rear camera capture the tiniest details, even during nighttime drives. The sleek 3 inch QHD OLED display made it a breeze to review the footage.
Another great aspect of this dash cam is the hands-free voice commands and safety features. The built-in WiFi and GPS made sharing and storing footage incredibly convenient, while the incident reports and Mayday alerts provided a sense of security. The continuous loop recording and emergency Mayday alert, along with the motion sensing and advanced driver assistance, ensured maximum protection for my car and me.
However, I did experience a few drawbacks. At times, the dash cam would stay on even after I turned off my car, which was quite frustrating. Additionally, the app occasionally crashed or froze, which made it difficult to access the video files. I also noticed that the app interface changed after the company updated it, which caused some confusion.
Overall, the Cobra Smart Dash & Rear Cam SC 200D QHD 1600P WiFi GPS is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to enhance their driving experience. With its impressive features and stunning video quality, it's a product I'd highly recommend.

🔗Cobra SC 400 4K Smart Dash Cam with GPS, Extra Features, and Alexa Integration


https://preview.redd.it/4omyti0n0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d024da5556f4dcb05b385bb54aeff216c91ce50c
This past month, I got my hands on the SC 400 Smart Dash Cam by Cobra. As a daily driver, I was really excited to try it out and see how it would make my commute safer and more convenient. Right out of the box, the camera felt solid and well-built. The mount attachment was easy to install, ensuring a secure placement on my windshield.
The first thing I noticed was the 4K UHD resolution, which made the video footage incredibly clear. It captured every detail, and the color accuracy was impressive, even when driving on sunny days or through challenging weather conditions. The wide-angle lens also made it easy to keep an eye on my surroundings. However, one downside was the footage quality during low-light situations; the camera could have done better in this regard.
Another standout feature was the GPS mount attachment, which allowed me to track my route accurately. The extra adhesives that came with the package were a nice touch, ensuring the camera remained firmly in place. The vehicle charger and micro USB data cable made it simple to power the camera and transfer files to my computer or phone.
One of the most appealing aspects of the SC 400 Smart Dash Cam was its built-in Alexa capabilities. With just a few voice commands, I could control the camera, start and stop recording, and even make it switch between the front and rear cameras. The heads-up navigation feature was a game-changer, helping me stay on track and avoid any unnecessary detours.
However, there were a few issues I encountered. Firstly, the DriveSmart app, which is required to upload files and access additional features, left much to be desired. Its user interface was clunky, and frequent updates were required to maintain compatibility with the camera. Additionally, the app's connection issues and lack of support for popular navigation services like Google Maps or Waze were disappointing.
Overall, the Cobra SC 400 Smart Dash Cam has some great features that make driving safer and more convenient. While it's not perfect, it offers a solid solution for those looking to stay protected on the road.

🔗Dual-View Dash Cam with iRadar for Enhanced Road Safety - Cobra


https://preview.redd.it/11dr2qin0q1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=240206ba9145efcbf8d6d08873d62e1e2fe2b13c
A few weeks ago, I spent some time trying out the Cobra DASH2316D drive HD front and rear camera dash cam with iRadar. The front-facing 1080p HD camera captures everything happening on the road, while the 160-degree wide angle lens at the rear provides ample coverage for everything behind me. The user interface is a breeze to navigate as all the important settings and features are neatly laid out for easy access.
The 16GB microSD card does the trick in storing recorded footage and ensuring that critical events are preserved. However, as I found out, it fills up pretty quickly, and you may have to swap out the card every few weeks depending on how much footage you've captured. The built-in G-sensor automatically detects impacts, saving those precious moments.
What really impressed me is the iRadar feature which provides real-time updates on the locations of speed cameras and police activity. This handy tool allows me to know exactly where I should keep my eyes peeled, or to strategically plan my route to a hotspot of activity (though that might not always be a bad thing).
However, there is always room for improvement, especially in today's technology-driven world. The main con I've experienced is the occasional unresponsiveness of the app. At times, it took a few attempts to refresh or open the iRadar app for speed camera updates.
Overall, the Cobra DASH2316D delivers decent performance in terms of video quality, storage space and crucial features that make for an essential dash cam. It's not perfect, but it's hard not to recommend it for providing a clear picture of what goes on in and around your car.

With its 5-megapixel camera, the Swann PRO-5MPMSD dome provides crisp and clear images, even during the night. The infrared cut filter and powerful LEDs ensure that the camera captures every detail in any light, and the sturdy aluminum construction ensures durability whether you're putting it indoors or outdoors. The true detect PIR motion sensor eliminates false triggers, giving you more reliable motion detection and activity-triggered recording, keeping your property protected.

One sunny afternoon, I decided to install the Swann CoreCam Security Camera at my home. The set-up process was a breeze, and the cameras were up and running within minutes. The 1080p Full HD video quality was crystal clear, both day and night. I was impressed that the cameras were weatherproof and could operate all year round.
The heat and motion detection feature was a game-changer. It triggered video recording and sent push notifications when anyone entered my yard. I loved the two-way talk feature that allowed me to greet guests or warn intruders. The siren added an extra layer of security to my home.
The Swann CoreCam Security Camera also offered hands-free voice control. I could easily ask Siri or Alexa to check the footage or receive alerts. The cameras backed up my recordings locally and in the cloud, ensuring that I always had a copy of my footage.
However, I did experience a few issues. The battery life seemed to be shorter than advertised, lasting only a few weeks before needing a recharge. The motion detection could sometimes be unreliable, with a few false alarms. Lastly, the cameras' brackets had limited adjustment options, which made it difficult to position them perfectly.
Overall, the Swann CoreCam Security Camera offered a reliable and easy-to-use solution for home security. The pros outweighed the cons, and I'm satisfied with my purchase.

🔗Seco-Larm Enforcer 4-in-1 Analog Turret Camera for Home Security

The Seco-Larm Enforcer has been a reliable addition to my home surveillance system. The wide viewing angle and built-in IR LED ensure that my home stays under constant and clear surveillance. The digital noise reduction is a game-changer, as it helps me sort through the fuzzy images caused by low light situations.
However, sometimes the dynamic range could use some tweaking to avoid over-exposure in certain areas. Overall, a solid choice for a home security camera.

Best Online Casino Bonuses

There are dozens of real money online casinos in the US, and that means that competition for customers can be fierce. But that’s very good news for you as operators will offer a wide range of casino bonuses and promotions.
We’ve gone ahead and listed the most common of these bonuses offered by the best online real money casinos.

Welcome Bonuses

The vast majority of real money online casinos will offer a welcome bonus to all new users. This will see you earn bonus credit or bonus funds for simply signing up and making a deposit. You can then use the bonus credit to play real money casino games. Just bear in mind that you may need to make a minimum deposit before you can grab the bonus.

Deposit Bonuses

A deposit bonus is when real money casinos will match a deposit by a certain percentage. For example, if you get a 100% deposit match bonus on a $100 deposit, you will receive an additional $100 in bonus credit. This can then be used to play real money casino games, but you will have to meet some wagering requirements before you can cash out your bonus funds.

No Deposit Bonuses

No deposit bonuses are available at some real money online casinos but not all. These promotions are the best value as they don’t require you to make any deposit using your own cash. This gives you the chance to test drive an online casino to see if it’s what you’re looking for. These bonuses also have wagering requirements you will have to meet before you can withdraw your winnings.

Free Spins

Free spin bonuses are exactly what they sound like. They offer you free spins on specific slots titles. The idea here is to promote games from a certain provider or introduce new slots. Like the no deposit bonus, this is a great way to try out a game before using your own cash.

Reload Bonuses

A reload bonus is very similar to a deposit match bonus and quite common at real money online casinos. You make a deposit and the casino will match it by a certain percentage. These promotions are run on a regular basis with some of the best online casinos for real money offering them every week.

Bonus Terms and Conditions

Bonuses and promotions at real money online casinos in the USA have terms and conditions that can have an impact on the value of the bonus. That’s why you should read those Ts and Cs carefully and know exactly what they mean. Here are a few terms you’ll come across.
Wagering Requirements
Wagering requirements at real money online casinos can also be referred to as ‘playthrough’ or ‘rollover’. This is listed as a multiple and simply tells you the number of times you need to wager the bonus amount before you can withdraw it as cash.
So say you have a bonus wagering requirement of 25x on a bonus amount of $100. This means that you will need to place wagers totaling $2,500 (25 x $10) before you can withdraw the bonus as cash. This is possibly the most important thing to look out for on a promotion because a high wagering requirement on a high-value bonus might be hard to hit.
Time Limits / Expiry
There are two types of time limits – the time you have to take up the offer and the time you have to use your bonus funds and hit those wagering requirements. The first one is simple enough. Once you sign up at a real money casino, you’ll have anything from a few days up to a month to take up your welcome bonus offer.
The second one can be a bit trickier. US online casinos will set a time limit on your offer and you have to use your bonus and hit the wagering requirement before that time is up. If you don’t make it , you could lose any unused bonus credit.
Minimum Deposits
This is a very basic condition of any real money online casino promo when there is a deposit involved. The minimum deposit, as you may have guessed already, is the least amount of money you can deposit to activate the bonus.
Now here’s the thing – a minimum deposit for a promotion may be higher than the regular minimum at a casino. And in some cases, the minimum deposit amount may change if it’s a bonus made up of several smaller bonuses. For example, a deposit match and free spins bonus over two deposits might require a minimum of $20 for the first deposit and $50 for the second deposit to unlock the free spins.
Winning Limits
Real money online casinos will pretty much give you free money just to get you playing their games. But there’s only so much free money they can hand out. So understandably, they put a limit on how much you can win using your bonus cash.
It’s not a condition that you need to worry about too much though. After all, a bonus is free money, right? But just remember that you won’t win any massive progressive jackpots with that bonus cash.
Game Eligibility
Remember what we said about wagering requirements? Well, not all games contribute towards those requirements. Promotions tend to exclude some games like roulette so check the Ts and Cs.
Games that are eligible will contribute towards your requirement at different rates. For example, slots may have a rate of 100% while the rate for table games could be 50%. This means that if you play $100 on the slots then $100 is taken off your wagering requirement. If you play $100 on a table game, then only $50 counts towards the requirement.
Restrictions
This is a little different to games eligibility because it has nothing to do with your wagering requirement. To put it simply, these are games that you cannot use your bonus funds on.
Even the best online casinos may restrict bonus use for games like live dealer games or any games that have large prizes such as progressive jackpots. You may also be restricted from entering contests using your bonus.

Best Online Casino Games

One of the benefits of playing at a top real money online casino in the US is that you get access to hundreds of games as soon as you sign up. With instant play online casinos, you don’t have to download any additional software to start playing. Simply go to the site and you’re all set. And the best online casinos might even offer many of these games in demo mode for you to try out.

Slots

Slots are one of the most popular real money online casino games. You can spin the reels to hit winning combinations called paylines, unlock bonus features and win real money. But it’s not just about matching a few symbols, there are often multiple ways to win. Slots with the Megaways mechanic can have thousands of paylines.
Real money slots also come in a massive range of themes and styles covering everything from safari themes to ancient Egypt and even rock bands. And don’t be surprised if there are hundreds or even thousands to choose from at the best online casinos.

Progressive Jackpots

A progressive jackpot is a type of prize that you’ll find in some slot titles. These jackpots grow with each and every wager that is placed on the game. The most popular jackpot slots pool wagers from players all over the world and not just the casino itself.
The biggest progressive jackpots at online casinos for real money can sometimes reach millions of dollars. In fact , the largest progressive jackpot win of all time was $23.6 million won by a player in Belgium in 2021. The jackpot was won on the Absolutely Mad variant of Mega Moolah.

Roulette

Online roulette brings this ever-popular table game into the world of online casinos. Pick a number or color and place your bet. Then wait to see if the ball lands on your pick. It’s one of the simplest games to pick up but there are actually a few variants that you can choose from.
The best online casinos will have American, European, and French roulette variants. Some real money online casinos will even offer multi-wheel roulette where you can bet on two or three wheels at a time. Unsurprisingly, roulette is also hugely popular in live casinos.

Blackjack

Blackjack is a classic casino card game where you try to beat the dealer by getting as close to 21 as possible. While the game is simple enough with a straight bet on your hand, there are plenty of side bets to bring a little more action to the table. For example, you can bet on the Lucky Ladies – betting that your first two cards total 20.
You can play virtual blackjack at your own pace at all of the best online casinos. But if you prefer a more traditional style of play, then you can also try your hand at live dealer blackjack.

Video Poker

Most video poker casinos will offer a range of poker variants that combine skill of poker with the excitement of slot machines. It’s based on five card draw and you need to match one of several winning hands by changing or keeping the cards you are dealt. Bets are placed at the start of the game.
Each variant comes with its own set of rules and payout structures that can vary quite a bit. As you can imagine, you’ll need to have some basic poker skills to master this game. It’s also not a bad idea to follow some video poker strategies to improve your odds of winning.

Baccarat

Baccarat is a hugely popular game in land-based casinos, but not quite so popular at online casinos for real money. The goal of the game is to have a hand value closest to nine. You have a few baccarat strategies to choose from such as betting on your own hand, the banker’s hand, or a tie.
The game is available at most of the best real money casinos online in a virtual format. But it’s the live casinos where you’ll find the real action. Live tables are

Live Dealer Games

You can feel like you’re stepping onto the casino floor when you play at live dealer casinos. These casinos offer live streams of table games with professional dealers. All the games have the exact same rules as those you’d find at land-based casinos and you can even communicate with the dealer via chat.
Table games like blackjack, baccarat, and roulette are the most popular games. But in recent times, the gameshow has risen to the top with innovative games like Deal or No Deal and, believe it or not, Monopoly.

Best US Online Casino Payment Methods

Any online casino with real money games should have a solid set of payment options to choose from. Below, we’ve listed the most common.

Credit Cards

Credit cards are widely accepted at the best USA online casinos. They provide a safe, secure, and fast method for deposits, and as most people already have one, they’re super convenient. Withdrawals are a different matter though as very few casinos will payout to a credit card.
It’s also worth noting that some banks may decline transactions to real money online casinos for legal reasons. For example, if gambling is restricted in your state, the bank may decline your request. There may also be fees charged when funding your online casino account.

Debit Cards

As you may know already, debit cards offer exactly the same convenience, speed, and security as credit cards. They’re also accepted by practically all real money US online casinos. And much like credit cards, many casinos don’t offer debit card withdrawals.
One big benefit of debit cards over credit cards is that there are no legal restrictions on the use of debit cards to fund gambling accounts.

eWallets

A hugely popular payment method for real money online casinos in the US, eWallets offer fast transactions with great security features. They also provide an additional layer of privacy, as your bank or credit card information isn’t shared with the online casino. However, there may be fees associated with eWallet transactions, and some online casinos may not accept certain eWallets.
Popular eWallets include PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Interestingly, the online casino industry is slowly starting to move away from older eWallets like PayPal. Even so, there are still some great casinos that accept PayPal.

Cryptocurrencies

Many of the top real money online casinos in the US now accept major cryptocurrencies for both deposits and withdrawals. These digital currencies offer some of the best security features of any payment method, and yes, that includes credit cards.
Cryptocurrency casinos let you deposit and withdraw funds with very low fees and in some cases, no fees at all. Transactions are highly secure as you don’t need to share your banking details and extremely fast. Some crypto withdrawals can be processed in hours or even minutes.
The best online casinos will accept offer a variety of crypto options including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and more. If you don’t have any crypto, casinos like TG.Casino offer you the chance to buy some using your traditional methods like debit or credit card.

Checks

The best online casinos for real money offer the complete range of payment options and, believe it or not, that includes old-school paper checks. Just pick ‘cash by check’ and the casino will send your winnings by mail.
The only drawback here is that it’s quite slow. In fact, withdrawals can take several days or even weeks. It’s all down to how fast your mail provider is and how quickly your bank can clear the check. Still a good option to have though just in case.

Wire transfers

Wire transfers are another tried and trusted method for secure and reliable deposits and withdrawals at US online casinos for real money. This is a simple transfer made directly from your bank account to the casino’s account and vice versa.
This type of transfer is very secure as your bank handles the entire process, but it takes time and can be a little on the expensive side. There may also be limits on how much you can transfer to and from your account so check with your bank first.

Tips for Real Money Online Casino Gambling

With everything you’ve read so far, picking the best online casino for real money should be pretty straightforward. But if you’re new to the online casino industry, then you might want to learn a few things about how to gamble online before you place those first wagers. Below, we’ve listed just a few of our favorite tips to get you started.

Pick a Trusted Online Casino

And by trusted we mean one that has a rock solid reputation for customer support and satisfaction. You can do this by reading reviews by people who have taken the time to actually play at casinos online for real money. That’s exactly what we do here, so picking from our recommendations is a no-brainer.

Use those Online Casino Bonus Offers

There’s great value to be found through online casino promotions whether it’s a no deposit promotion or a deposit match. Whatever is on offer, take advantage of it to give your bankroll a nice bump before you play any real money casino games.

Sign-up with More than One Online Casino

Yep, there’s absolutely nothing stopping you from signing up with five or six real money casinos. This means that you can take advantage of all those welcome bonuses and promotions. You also have a better chance of finding the best real money casino games as you have thousands of games to choose from.

Look for Mobile Online Casinos

Common sense when you think about it because we spend more time on our mobile devices each day. The best online casinos will have either a mobile app or they will be fully optimized for mobile devices. Either way, this is an absolute must.

Manage Your Bankroll

This is perhaps the most important tip of all as gambling responsibly is how you can continue to have fun day in day out. Managing your bankroll is about setting a budget and sticking to it. It’s also about finding and taking advantage of any promotions that save you spending too much of your own cash.

Responsible Gaming at Online Casinos

The best online casinos take responsible gaming very seriously and will offer help and resources if you need them. This includes things like the ability to set limits on your deposits or gaming. Many will also provide tips and guidance on spotting the early signs of problem gambling.
Online casinos try their best to help, but the best advice for anyone who needs support can be found at organizations like:

Are Online Casinos Legal in the US?

The US online casino industry first became regulated when Delaware legalized online casinos in 2012. New Jersey came soon after and both states launched regulated online casinos in 2013. At present, there are seven states that have regulated online casino markets – Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.

TSMC InizierĂ  la Produzione di Massa del Nodo N3P a 3nm di Terza Generazione nel 2024

TSMC sta per avviare la produzione di massa della sua tecnologia di nodo a 3nm di terza generazione, nota come N3P, entro la fine di quest'anno, dopo il successo della tecnologia di processo di seconda generazione a 3nm (N3E) nel quarto trimestre del 2023. Durante l'European Technology Symposium, TSMC ha annunciato di essere pronta per la produzione ad alto volume (HVM) di N3P nella seconda metĂ  del 2024. Il processo N3E, adottato inizialmente da Apple per i suoi processori M4, ha visto un aumento del numero di transistor e delle velocitĂ  operative rispetto ai processori M3 basati su N3. TSMC ha descritto i rendimenti di N3E come "eccellenti", indicando una forte performance e prontezza di mercato.
N3E è stato progettato come una versione semplificata del processo N3 originale, riducendo i costi di produzione tramite l'eliminazione di alcuni strati che richiedevano la litografia ultravioletta estrema (EUV) e evitando l'uso del doppio patterning EUV. Questo ha migliorato i rendimenti, pur riducendo occasionalmente la densità dei transistor e l'efficienza energetica. Questi svantaggi sono stati affrontati attraverso ottimizzazioni strategiche del design.
Il prossimo processo N3P rappresenta una riduzione ottica di N3E, promettendo ulteriori avanzamenti. Ha superato con successo i test e dimostra rendimenti vicini a quelli di N3E. N3P mira a migliorare le prestazioni fino al 4% o a ridurre il consumo energetico di circa il 9% alle stesse velocità di clock, migliorando anche la densità dei transistor del 4% per chip con configurazioni di design miste. N3P manterrà la compatibilità con i blocchi IP, gli strumenti di design e le metodologie di N3E. La produzione è prevista per la seconda metà di quest'anno, con una rapida adozione prevista da parte dei progettisti di chip, inclusi clienti principali come Apple e AMD. Si prevede che i principali produttori come Apple integreranno questa tecnologia nella loro gamma di prodotti del 2025, inclusi i SoC per smartphone, PC e tablet.

Architettura AMD Zen 5C: Fino a 192 Core, Zen 6 Potrebbe Arrivare a 32 Core per CCD

Recenti rivelazioni, incluse informazioni da fonti come Kepler_L2 e InstLatX64 su X, hanno svelato le prossime architetture di processori di AMD, Zen 5C e Zen 6. L'architettura Zen 5 sarĂ  annunciata ufficialmente al Computex di giugno di quest'anno, con i primi prodotti attesi sul mercato nel terzo trimestre del 2024. Le architetture Zen 5 e Zen 5C sono progettate per essere piĂš piccole rispetto ai core Zen 4 attuali, permettendo l'integrazione di piĂš CCD (Core Complex Dies) all'interno della CPU.
Attualmente, l'architettura Zen 4 supporta fino a 12 CCD nei chip EPYC di fascia alta, con la variante Zen 4C che ne comprende fino a 8, ciascuno con due CCX da 8 core, per un totale di 128 core. La prossima generazione espanderĂ  significativamente queste capacitĂ .
Nell'architettura Zen 5, AMD prevede di utilizzare fino a 16 CCD, mantenendo un singolo CCX per CCD con 8 core, raggiungendo un massimo di 128 core. La variante piĂš avanzata Zen 5C aumenterĂ  ulteriormente questa capacitĂ , includendo un singolo CCX con 16 core per CCD, spingendo il limite massimo a 192 core su 12 CCD.
Per Zen 6, l'architettura offrirĂ  configurazioni versatili con opzioni di 8, 16 e fino a 32 core per CCD. Questo permetterĂ  configurazioni come una CPU Ryzen a doppio CCD con fino a 32 core, o un layout con quattro CCD per arrivare a 64 core, ampliando le potenziali configurazioni e la loro applicabilitĂ .
La configurazione piĂš alta di core probabilmente utilizzerĂ  l'architettura Zen 6C, ottimizzata per prestazioni di picco, mentre le configurazioni standard Non-C saranno riservate per i componenti di fascia enthusiast.
