You can try seeing if you can set the speed/duplex of NIC/ports manually if auto-detection keeps getting it wrong.

Unifi I like the APs for mesh & multiple SSID+vlans but I keep them on dedicated vlan with zero internet access because I don't trust that I properly followed instructions to disable opted in analytics/telemetry. The mgmt software is alright but new UI wastes a lot of space. The PoE switch was alright until it stopped being able to keep a config last year. USG router I kept less than a year because it was too slow with any useful features enabled. I've glanced around at replacement APs here & there but pretty much waiting until I have more wifi 7 compatible devices and that'll be another couple years.

My first zigbee device was Sylvania (73685) rgbw led strip. On it's own it worked fine but once I started trying to add sengled zigbee bulbs I kept having problems with pairing the bulbs or keeping them connected. Zigbee uses 2.4ghz so I thought maybe interference so lowered power output on wifi AP 2.4ghz band & even turned it off for testing but didn't help. I think I read somewhere that sylvanias caused that problem. I unplugged sylvania led strip, reset & rejoined everything else and had zero problems. Tried to add the sylvania back in and disconnect problems came back after awhile. It was past the return period so now I keep it unjoined and plugged into a zigbee smart outlet. I sometimes have to remove power from it to join new devices or when I restart zigbee controller. Currently have mix of sengled bulbs, thirdreality plugs, sonoff plugs & sensors, and single aqara tvoc all working together fairly reliably.

What are max print speed and volumetric set to?

For some filaments (silk PLA) I've had to slow things down (120mm/s max print speed and 10mm3/s max volumetric speed) or it comes out horrible. Only used 0.4 nozzles so far though.

Their project timeline being really short combined with a really low "flexible goal" of $69,780 doesn't give me a lot of confidence in it releasing or shipping on time if it ever does.

Star Trek ENT season 4 episode 10 "Daedalus" has the transporter inventor on board for an experiment. I'd like to see more about initial development too.

 

For security purposes calling it a trace... I know, plot device, but I thought it was funny, let me know if better community to discuss :)

Star Trek TNG, Season 2, Episode 7 - Unnatural Selection, timestamp 28:43 on mine.

Hot Wheels has Marvel series of cars too and took picture of this "well known" one recently.

I'd recommend using distro you know best and/or most prefer to work with. I use the flatpak install of Jellyfin Media Player but there are also deb files available.

I'm currently using minipc with Intel n5105 (or something similar) for 1080p HTPC. Debian 12 OS with auto-login & Jellyfin Media Player starting at login. I control it with pepper jobs RF remote but also have a logitech wireless keyboard+touchpad for it. Keyboard+touchpad come in handy when browsing media sites on firefox but some might restrict quality. Some of the newer minipc's I tried required adding backports repo to install newer kernel for wifi to work. I had been playing with Debian a lot when I set up first one & been using clonezilla to image them so it's stuck.

Ordered a gmtek n97 minipc to play with and should have it in about a week. Going to test it out with 4k but it's not a deal breaker for me if it cannot handle that well enough.

Yep, asking for something I'm sure a lot of us would love to have, a ready to go TV remote control style usage, but rather than having discussions about why those options aren't viable just downvoting.

Create a backup image from the working SD card. Write that backup image to a spare SD card and verify it works. Then try to do 'apt update' and see if anything breaks. If it breaks you got a spare SD card ready to go :)

I had issues with DNS checks and traced it to my pihole. I changed that container's resolv.conf to use cloudflare DNS and it has been working fine since. It was with Caddy so needed to change over to use IPs.

Another thing to remember is the client needs to support decoding the video in hardware or have enough CPU to handle it in software. I have intel i7 (3rd gen) with no hardware HEVC/x265 support but it has enough CPU to power through.
