I wasn't trying to be prophetic since WinPatrol was a valuable utility for me for years, but it is officially gone, website and all. Users report that it still works, but the learn function no longer does, which means it no longer "learns" whether a startup is allowed or not. I haven't found a suitable alternative.

And no, because of the size and layout, without doing a lot of work, there's no way to hardwire the house.-wraith808 (July 26, 2021, 09:43 AM)
Any chance of straddling the fence with Powerline networking? I use it quite often to get out from under a ton of pickle class situations, and it hasn't let me down yet.-Stoic Joker (July 29, 2021, 05:59 PM)
What's evil is when you have two places in your code where you are essentially repeating yourself, such that if you wanted to improve one version you'd have to remember to also always reproduce your changes in the other branch..-mouser (July 28, 2021, 05:31 PM)
I think code duplication gets that spot-mouser (July 28, 2021, 01:49 PM)
If your whole mesh system started to fail without changing anything on your end, it might be because of the neighbor adding things to his WiFi network, started using a microwave close by or you are troubled by other (external) sources of disruptions. It might prove prudent to investigate this further, before investing (heavily ?) in a new WiFi mesh system. Because external disruptions can occur at any given time you can never be really sure that you have "fixed" the mesh part. Remember, when WiFi devices are set to "Auto" with their channel selection, they select the best channel at the moment they are turned on. This does not change anymore and if another device with a static channel is turned back on, both devices won't work properly anymore. Either go full "auto" with every WiFi device in your place and from all your neighbors, or manage it properly by selecting channels 1, 6 or 11 for your own network as well as those from your neighbors. Going "Auto" might sound simpler, but it will always result in a mess. Once you have your and your neighbors channels set up correctly, you will see that the WiFi networks everywhere will work a lot better.-Shades (July 25, 2021, 11:19 PM)
yeah i mean if you already have psvr im not sure it makes sense to buy an oculus -- the games and experiences are going to be much smaller and lower powered
and ironically, MORE expensive than their full version brothers on pc and ps4.-mouser (July 24, 2021, 01:08 PM)
I don't know what it takes to set up the PS4 one, but this is pretty easy. You basically just strap it on your face and then trace the open space on your floor to set up your "Guardian boundary" and you can move about freely in VR. Or if you want to be sitting or otherwise stationary, you can do that, too.-Deozaan (July 24, 2021, 10:45 AM)
Or perhaps this perspective more closely matches wraith's use-case:
I own a car. It's not in the greatest condition, but reliable enough for my daily needs. I'm not willing to pay what it would cost to buy a new (or only a couple years old) vehicle. But when I take a multi-day trip out of town, I rent a car. I get the benefits of a much newer vehicle which is in much better condition than mine, so I'm not concerned about it breaking down during the trip. And I also don't put those miles on my own car, which will help it last just that much longer before I have to replace it.-Deozaan (July 21, 2021, 10:55 AM)

not sure I understand the model - seems like you need a computer in order to end with...well...a computer...
Never been a fan of outsourcing, and this seems like its taking it to an extreme...-Target (July 19, 2021, 10:29 PM)
You should check the viability of their business plan. I heard Linus form video channel Linus Tech Tips mention that Shadow isn't a financially sound organization. I believe that was in his weekly talking head-piece...in the week that he did a review of similar services. More of a place that over-promises and under-delivers. The videos he creates are usually sponsored and likely Shadow didn't fulfill their contractual financial obligations.-Shades (July 19, 2021, 05:30 PM)
