I refuse to use Unifi products after a client's one year old Cloudkey died because they use an actual hard drive inside for the OS, not just the data (it's designed for storing NVR recordings).

They don't even mirror the drive locally. There's just everything wrong with this approach. The OS should run from M2 and the data drive needs to be mirrored - this is just basic high availability design today. And for the price they charge, there's no reason to not do this. I just wonder what the requirements discovery looked like, and who signed off on such a weak approach.

For the price of a cloud key (which is essentially required for a business environment), it's a piece of shit. Plus the damn things die all the time.

Add to it the whole system is problematic - they're slow to discover devices when setting up/reconfiguring/replacing hardware, we're constantly having to tinker with client sites for odd disconnects, etc.

Unifi belongs in the bin. For a home user you'd be better off with any decent consumer router, which doesn't have the unnecessary complexity (and learning curve) of Unifi. I hate that it's what our company prefers to deploy.

What in the world is an egg cooker? Mine is called a pot.

Shoot some Great Stuff into the speaker hole. (Not really, no, don't do this with something that heats up).

You could open it up, find the little speaker (probably a tiny little thing) and disconnect it or put some glue in it (like Goop).

Of course not, how could it?

Its just a wealth transfer from the state (our tax dollars) to a private firm. Same as speed cameras, where typically 80% of the "civil fees" go to the camera operating company.
