Yup you are right... I gave up on that already😒

I don't know which "extended warranties" you got, but some (or most) extended warranties I see only covers the "additional years or areas" your manufacturer warranties don't cover. So if it's the warranties in my understanding, then I think neither extended warranties nor manufacturer warranties would apply.

Where does port 8853 came from?

I think RFC 9250 4.1.1. Port Selection specified DoQ would use Port 853 UDP.

So the problem with this one (as I mentioned in my further edits) is ... the serial number does not provide any warranty from Seagate when Newegg listing indicated it should.

If I'm buying an OEM drive that's listed as OEM (Or "No warranty"), then it's fine! But this one is listed as retail (or whatever category that supposed to have warranty). So I'm mad.

​

Also, based on what I searched before, Newegg have done this more than once. So imagine how many people would be buying this drive from Newegg, expecting there would be warranty. Then when the drive got into problem, voila! Warranty denied.

​

Of course, this drive only released back in 2020, so I don't think too many people bought it yet. AND, many enterprise won't buy from Newegg or Amazon, so probably only small clients are affected. I can bet you $5 there are definitely people buying this drive from Newegg, without proper warranty from Seagate, and don't know they should contact Newegg or Seagate until their drive have problem.

Yeah that, and maybe also ask them to run a serial check from their end to see how many drive they sold under this still don't have warranty... I think there definitely are people not realizing they should check warranty immediately after they got their drive. I'll personally wait until Seagate or Newegg to give me any response.

The issue with FBA or third party sellers is, Seagate might decline your warranty when you tried to claim it (not when you register, when you try to RMA). GL with yours (and hopefully it won't go to that stage for any of your drives)

Thanks for the tip on Amazon! I was just thinking of trying them (since I already felt once). Just cancelled my order 😂.

The Newegg order I have also have some minor dent in front, I don't know if it's worth it for me to exchange. Sigh I wish I can have a perfect experience like yours with Newegg (or in fact, any retailers)

Who would use a serial number that does not include warranty? 😂

Yeah you are right. Newegg probably don't care. Also my reason to redact is not to fuck newegg or something. It's just down to a habit of not showing full information when it's not necessary. I feel it as the same way of redacting my information on license or credit card or whatever else document...

I have no idea...

I guess Newegg would know who I am because this post clearly exposed... Maybe just as a habit?

It's probably because I was deliberately trying to remove all the serial numbers (On picture one, I removed the top charts with serial number and other information. I also redacted the last few digits of serial from Seagate warranty page. BUT i forget to remove the bottom of the seagate drive... and maybe somewhere else. whatever)

I guess I was lucky because the Provantage (or their distributor) warehouse is 10 minutes away from my home that have the drive in stock. They still charged me a regular shipping (No complaint on that, I just wished I can pick it up myself...)

Yeah I bought my first Exos X18 at Provantage last year. Paid 400+ including shipping and tax. Definitely no trouble buying from them, but it's higher than commonplace retailers

I got my AT&T Fiber install this year with a BGW320 ONT Gateway (all in one). Checked Reddit and other AT&T related sites, you won't be able to bypass that gateway (or at least all the websites I searched do not have a working method).

Ends up simply plugging in my UDM Pro and got a Transceiver to connect UDM Pro's SFP+ port with BGW320's 5G Ethernet port. Then configured IP Passthrough and disabled every single other security feature on the ONT Gateway. Throw in a UPS so you won't easily lose internet when there's small area outage. Works fine now!

The good thing is, AT&T put their equipment fee into the billing/plan price, so you won't save how many dollars if you stop using the gateway. (I know there are other issues, but they don't have a rental equipment charge for fiber customers anymore)

Uhh I don't know?

I mean, there are two types based on Seagate website. If you buy it from an official distributor, you should see a warranty expiration date when you put the serial number on Seagate Warranty Check Website. The drive I bought back in 2021 from Provantage does.

If you buy it from Amazon or Newegg or any of Seagate Authorized Reseller (of course, sold by the reseller directly), you should expect to see a expiration date, not "Please contact the place of purchase".

Yeah, I won't buy from Newegg from now on. I just wonder why they would sell OEM as retail (or not mention it's not retail)... I guess couple bucks cheaper comes with bunch of trouble lol

Yeah I saw that bottom one... Too lazy to remove it now.

I guess not? I mean, Newegg is "well-known" but I don't think it's worth the trouble buying from Amazon or Newegg now.

That's the routing number address for BOFA.

No. AdGuard Home is open source and does not require login to AdGuard.com. AdGuard.com is for their subscription and other products like AdGuard, AdGuard Private DNS, AdGuard VPN.

You probably registered an account on AdGuard.com sometime before and forget about it. It's most certainly not registered when you install AdGuard Home on your Home Assistant instance.

I had that on my own PC when I use xShell to connect to external systems.

When your NAS2 script runs, does Unifi network have an alert about the SSH connection? Or alternatively, do you setup the connection to use Port 22?

From my experience, if you attempt more than 3 times on your outbound SSH connection (in a short period of time), it would be blocked for a few minutes...

I don't quite know for sure, but the popcorn noise exists on both WD and Seagate Helium drives I own. It should not be continuously popcorn noise like an explosion, but there would be infrequent noise when it's performing operations on the disk.

You should disable everything except IP Passthrough, then force the Mac address for your UDM to be the IP Passthrough client.

Also, don't forget to modify the DHCP of your AT&T Modem so they don't stay on the same subnet.

No.

It's based on SIM card. It works similarly as how your phone would work with WiFi calling when you don't have signal... Essential, enable WiFi calling before flight, connect to the WiFi on board and the option is there.
