In my experience there is no way to message the team as a whole. If there is, someone please let me know too!
In the past I’ve reached out to each mod listed individually.
- Comment on Is it wiser to store one savings in Gold as superior to the average bank/savings accounts nominal interest? 3 days ago:
This is going to depend a lot on where you are.
In Thailand for example, you’ll find there are a half dozen gold shops at every grocery store that will happily liquidate your gold at a moments notice a price determined by the current gold spot rate.

It’s been a year or two since I was looking into it and I didn’t have a NAS at the time, but another one of the issues I had was the tiny selection of cameras available. I tested some Aqara G2H Pros and the Logitech Circle View. The Aqaras I added local storage to and at least could get continuous recording, but event seeking is pretty terrible. The circle view was, despite very well built hardware, essentially useless. Keeping it connected to the network was basically impossible
I’m curious how writing to the NAS works. Is it just a bunch of files dumped to a network share or is there some sort of timeline viewing software available? Are they giant continuous files? Individual files for events? Without knowing the details it seems like it would be a nightmare to navigate and actually find useful information.

I last took classes at 36. Never got a degree though. I’d feel silly with where I am career-wise taking classes now, 11 years later.

How was support experience wrt replacing the bad cloudkeys?
- Comment on Unifi Anonymous...? 1 week ago:
I will admit I gave Protect an unfair advantage as it’s the only fully first party solution I tried (unless you count Apple HomeKit Secure Video?)
Protect with 3rd party cameras is indeed lacking. But it works like magic with first party cameras.
The only other solution I’ve tried was QNAP QVR Pro with third party cameras and it was awful
Sounds like you’re having better luck with HKSV than I did. For me that is where I started and quickly bailed on it despite the unlimited cloud storage. It just did a terrible job at recording video. It would always send the recording with the detected subject still in the frame. It was incredibly frustrating.

Is this a common issue folks have with Protect? I haven’t seen it talked about so far.
TBH, for me, Protect has been so much better than the other NVR solutions I’ve tried it has been a big driving force behind the appeal for me.

- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 1 week ago:
Yeah - this really confused me. Why did they make a second update on the 14th when the first update said they’d hear back on the 15th?

Their first party account is on their blog here and is an interesting read:
hey.paris/posts/appleid/The post was updated yesterday with the following:
Update 14 December 2025: Someone from Executive Relations at Apple says they’re looking into it. I hope this is true. They say they’ll call me back tomorrow, on 15 December 2025. In the mean time, it’s been covered by Daring Fireball, Apple Insider, Michael Tsai, and others, thanks folks! I’ve received 100s of emails of support, and will reply to you all in time, thank you. Finger’s crossed Apple calls back.

My guess would be the middleman who got the contract to put the sticker on the apple and resell it.

I think soy is a legume; typically not considered a grain but OP included lentils which fall in the same category so I say go for it.

I don’t know, what is the difference between a lentil and a chickpea?

- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 4 weeks ago:
I remember especially hating all the extra categories and freemium content plex added that I wasn’t interested in viewing but couldn’t remove (or at least did not find a way to remove).
Not doubting your experience at all. For all I know it’s a new option; I just discovered it, but for the other folks like me still stuck with Plex, most (all?) of this can be disabled in the Online Media Sources setting on the server (yeah - I know 🙄)…
