I probably should have done this ages ago, but better-late-than-never… From now on, bicycle and fitness products/news/etc will be covered on Mamilian, service here, will return to normal.

Nothing Says “We Listen To Our Customers” Like Ignoring Them: Fitbit Edition
About five years ago, someone created a feature request on the Fitbit forums requesting that they allow the device to act like a BTLE heart rate (HR) monitor. Simple enough, Fitbit devices have BTLE (that’s how they sync with your phone), and they track heart rate (at least most of them). Adding this feature, which many other HR tracking watches […]
Read moreHow loud is the Ubiquiti UDM-Pro?
I had some time on my hands this evening, so I figured it was as good a time as any to take the Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) out of the rack and put it in a quiet place to record how loud it is generally, and at maximum fan speed. Unfortunately, while I was at it, I found […]
Read moreTesting Ubiquiti UDM-Pro LAN-to-WAN Throughput
It’s not all bad news when it comes to the Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro), but I did get decidedly mixed results when, after getting 10Gbps SFP+ working, I got down to testing the UDM-Pro’s LAN-to-WAN performance via iPerf to find out what it can do with Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) on, and with it off. The raw numbers […]
Read moreUbiquiti USW Flex Mini Now Available
One of the reasons I love, like, still use (I kid, but our relationship is a bit rocky right now) Ubiquiti Unifi kit is the feature set per dollar. With this new PoE powered five port managed switch setting a new standard at $29. Yeah, $29 for a managed switch. I’ve already ordered one, but could see myself selling off […]
Read moreCreate a VLAN Wireless (Wi-Fi) Network on a Ubiquiti Unifi UDM/UDM-Pro
If you’re having trouble adopting a Unifi AP (access point), need to change a network IP, or curious how to setup and configure a wireless network on a UDM or UDM-Pro so that it has it’s own VLAN/subnet for management reasons (i.e. parental controls). This video walks through all the steps to do that, as well as discussing some features […]
Read moreThird Look: Unifi Dream Machine Pro SFP+ Testing
Due to a bug in the Unifi mobile app, I incorrectly stated that the UDM-Pro’s SFP+ ports were completely broken. As it turns out, they do work, but only barely.
Read moreSecond Look: Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro)
A bit over a week has past since the UDM-Pro first look, and I thought it would be good to provide a status update, and show some good (IPS) and bad (SFP+ ports) news that I discovered while waiting for Ubiquiti to respond/fix anything.
Read moreJailbreak your Tesla
Adding to the list of things that should be obvious, but I just haven’t thought about: Teslas can be jailbroken to provide features [back] that shouldn’t have been taken away. People have certain expectations when they buy a car. For example, they expect it to work for years afterwards needing only basic maintenance. They also expect that the purchase price […]
Read moreHumon, make of the Hex, shuts down…
It’s always disappointing when something neat goes away, and I would definitely classify the Human Hex muscle oxygen sensor in that group. In some ways, it could be a better indicator that heart rate for most of what we use heart rate for; whether running or cycling. Ultimately, I can also see why they weren’t able to make it though. […]
