Summary: The mosquitto broker authorizes publication to SYS topics by default, which is a potential security risk. We explain how to address this issue and provide some background on MQTT brokers' default security.
MQTT is a publish/subscribe messaging protocol: when a device sends out a message, it won't explicitly send it to a given device or address, but instead the sender tags the message with a string called a topic. All devices that have previously subscribed to that topic will then receive the message; pretty dumb logic, but efficient and enough for most IoT and machine-to-machine networks.
In MQTT, topic names usually follow a topic hierarchy. For example, data from the New-York State power grid can be accessed using MQTT under topics such as "ny-power/upstream/fuel-mix/Hydro" or "ny-power/upstream/fuel-mix/Wind". MQTT also supports a wildcard symbol: if a device subscribes the the topic "ny-power/#", then it will receive all the messages published under topic names starting with "ny-power/".
In MQTT, the server implementing the publish/subscribe logic—as well as authorization and authentication mechanisms—is called a broker. The best known MQTT broker is arguably mosquitto, an open-source broker part of the Eclipse Foundation and an iot.eclipse.org project.
The first thing you have to be careful with when using mosquitto is that by default it is open to anonymous connections—that is, it allows anyone to connect to it and use it. Such an open broker would allow anyone to see the messages published by subscribing to their topics. A number of open brokers are available for testing, and you can also find open brokers evidently used for production and critical systems. In contrast, an enterprise-oriented broker such as VerneMQ will not allow you to connect to it without having first created authorized credentials, which is the safest default configuration.
Many systems and services will default to an insecure configuration, because it's more convenient and because such services will often run in closed networks, where the risk is lower. For example, popular services such as ElasticSearch default to unauthenticated, unencrypted connections. Also, some MQTT brokers are only available via VPN, which minimizes the risk of open brokers. Insecure defaults are thus not always a big deal, as long as they're documented and that the risk is obvious to most users.
Recently we observed another case of insecurity-by-default, which is the point of this post: so-called SYS topics. These are a special class of topics under which the broker publishes data, typically for monitoring purposes. SYS topics are not a formal standard but are an established practice in MQTT brokers. For example, mosquitto defines SYS topics such as:
$SYS/broker/clients/maximum: The maximum number of clients that have been connected to the broker at the same time.
$SYS/broker/clients/total: The total number of active and inactive clients currently connected and registered on the broker.
$SYS/broker/messages/received: The total number of messages of any type received since the broker started.
As explained by HiveMQ, provider of an enterprise MQTT broker: "These topics are special meta topics which are used by the broker to publish information about the broker itself and its MQTT client sessions. All SYS-Topics start with $SYS and are read-only for MQTT clients, so publishing to these topics is prohibited." We indeed verified that the HiveMQ broker prevents publication to SYS topics in its default configuration. The aforementioned VerneMQ does it too.
Furthermore, the MQTT standard states (as non-normative comment) that "Applications cannot use a topic with a leading $ character for their own purposes", which suggests that publication SYS topics should be restricted to the broker.
Mosquitto, however, authorizes by default any client to publish messages under SYS topics, and therefore to potentially send fake status data to consumers. In particular, mosquitto's public broker test.mosquitto.org allows clients to publish to $SYS/#. You can for example send fake data as follows, where I sent an invalid number of connected clients:
First, subscribe to the topic $SYS/broker/client/connected, (where the dollar sign must be escaped in my terminal):
$ mosquitto_sub -h test.mosquitto.org -t "\$SYS/broker/clients/connected" -d
$ mosquitto_pub -h test.mosquitto.org -t "\$SYS/broker/clients/connected" -m 414141414141 -d
The first terminal will then show that it received correct values (968, 970), followed by the incorrect one.:
Client mosqsub|80540-id received PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m0, '$SYS/broker/clients/connected', ... (3 bytes))
Client mosqsub|80540-id received PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m0, '$SYS/broker/clients/connected', ... (3 bytes))
Client mosqsub|80540-id received PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m0, '$SYS/broker/clients/connected', ... (12 bytes))
We reported this observation to mosquitto maintainers, who responded that this permissive behavior is intended and well known. Unlike opening the service to anonymous connections, however, authorizing publication to SYS topics doesn't have any usability or convenience benefit, so we respectfully challenge this design choice.
It is therefore the responsibility of users to prevent the publish capabilities to SYS topics. This can be done via access control lists (ACL), as for example documented here.
To conclude, if you run an MQTT broker make sure that:
- Your service is not open to anyone (well-known risk);
- Only the broker can publish to SYS topics (also note that SYS topics should not be used as a source of production metrics).

Please make sure that you are putting the robot into the pairing mode correctly, as described here. Ensure the mobile device is close to the robot and that the robot is on the base / charged. Consider your Wi-Fi routers physical placement. Be sure it's located in a central area and avoid placing your router behind material that blocks its signal. Where is the Neato failing to connect? Connecting to Wi-Fi Connecting to the internet Registering robot on Neato Servers Reconnecting your device If you are unable to get past the 'Connecting to Wi-Fi' step, please check the following. Make sure your wireless router is either 2.4 GHz or a dual band router that is configured to support 2.4 GHz. The D3, D4, D5 and D6 Connected robots do not support the 5 GHz band. Verify that you have the correct password for your network. The password must not contain any special characters or spaces e.g. !"£$%^&*(). The password needs to be alphanumeric, in some cases the SSID (network name) may need to be changed if it also contains special characters. If you are trying to connect to a hidden network, make sure you have the correct network name, SSID, and that the network is 2.4GHz. Also note that the SSID is case sensitive. The WiFi encryption needs to WPA or WPA2. It has to be one or the other. Not both combined as is the case on most routers. NOTE: Neato currently does not have support for Enterprise level password security (WEP EAP). If you can't get past 'Connecting to the internet' try the following: Confirm a secure HTTPS site can be reached with the mobile device on that Wi-FI network, such as Gmail or https://www.httpvshttps.com/ If the issues persist, you may need to contact your Internet service provider to solve the problem. If you can't get past 'Registering robot on Neato Servers'. There are two ways to fix this issue: Change the DNS server setting in the Wi-Fi router to use Googles DNS.

Or Instead of using your home Wi-Fi we can set up a temporary hot-spot to connect the device. Once the Neato is connected to the hot-spot you can update the Neato firmware and then try connect to your home WiFi again. Set up your hot-spot and go through the connection steps as usual. When the app prompts you to select you WiFi network, choose the hot-spot instead. If the hot-spot does not appear try typing the Name (SSID) manually at the bottom. Once you are connected to the hot-spot, you will see a prompt to update the Neato. After this is done try to add you home WiFi as a second network. How to delete or change the robot's Wi-Fi network. Note: You will need two devices for this to work. One device to create the hot-spot and another to run the Neato app. If you can't get past the 'Reconnecting your device' step try the following: Close the app completely. Go to you phones WiFi setting and make sure that you are connected to your Home WiFi network. Open the app and you should see that the Robot is now connected. Still can't connect?

Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall...
22 And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon."
23 But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, "Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us."
24 He said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
25 But the woman came and did him homage, saying, "Lord, help me."
26 He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs."
27 She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters."
28 Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish."
I have often been puzzled about this verse. Why did Jesus call this poor woman a dog? His behavior simply doesn't seem to mesh with what we know about Jesus; why is he rebuking this pleading woman who is only seeking mercy for her beloved daughter?
Recently I recieved some insight into this when listening to a CD from a Bible Conference I attended last summer. And I have come to realize that Jesus has been calling me a dog for a very long time.
If we really LOOK at that verse, we see that this Caananite woman has come to Jesus, in faith and trust, begging for help for her daughter. Jesus calls her a dog! Yet she remains. Why does she remain?
Because this is not really a rebuke. Jesus is testing her; he is explaining his mission, that to the House of Israel, but notice he has not told her to go away! She seems to understand this, although his words must have punctured her heart and soul with a thousand arrows. Yet she remained, pleading on her knees, refusing to take "no" for an answer. Rather than running away, she followed and did him homage.
And what was Jesus's response? Read it again:
28 Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish."
He's THRILLED! Jesus has seemed to reject her, but she persists, continuing to believe in spite of such a seeming insult. And as Jesus was wont to do, he was really inviting her to go deeper, to persevere in her faith; He did not want her to leave, only to understand FOR HER OWN VERY SOUL what she was asking him to do and what she BELIEVED he could do. Jesus knew he could heal her daughter and free her from the demons. But the woman must have been lacking in something to be tested in such a way. And she let her love for her daughter and the faith obtained through grace overcome what may have been her shame at being rejected.
Because she had faith, she grasped it with the tenacity of a dog, and she would not let Jesus turn her down.
And by Jesus' word, it was done.
I've been grasping this Gospel lately, myself, realizing that I'm just a dog begging for scraps from the Master's table.
I'm at the end of my rope at work. On Thursday, I nearly gave immediate notice and walked out; the only thing that saved me, ironically, was my dogs and the mortgage. I can't go around letting my frustration write resignation letters I can't afford to write. And so I remained. And still I remain, still begging the Lord for Mercy, for direction, for new and fruitful employment.
I know that my gifts are not a match for my current job and I know that I have no future with this company. Nor do I want a future here. And we know there is a systematic problem when the other THREE team members ALSO are desperate to walk off the job.
Because it comes down to the fact that our Manager is not hearing us, and Management in general in this company isn't hearing us nor do they want to; they are too focused on "the bottom line". They are too focused on "profit", and whenever someone complains about workload, the pressure, the stress, they offer trite platitudes about the end of the year profit-sharing and the money to be made by each individual.
I'm starting to wonder if they are Communists parading as Capitalists. And neither, in their pure form, is good.
I don't care if they were to offer me $10,000 more annually...I can't keep this up. I can't continue to go to work with my stomach in knots, my heart in my throat, and my pulses racing. I can't continue to take the whips and stings of a workload that becomes more and more burdensome, or a double standard that forces my unit to take excess work from other less specialized units, while they refuse to help us when we're so far overloaded. They use "numbers" to measure "productivity", and forget that the numbers aren't accurate for there's a lot of work yet to be done on issues that have been closed out. Nothing is really closed, and I have hours of work to do on a number they can't even see in their paltry system.
Not to mention the hours of work that comes without credit from our outstate counterparts who consistently get less measurable work, have stellar performance, make more money...we do their work and we don't get the credit for it. It doesn't measure into our "numbers" in our Metro office.
I can't continue to work for a company that has forgotten that without their employees, there is no company.
And yet, I can't find another job. I can't even figure out what I want to do, but for those careers for which I am not qualified because further education is required. (Which I am seeking, as you know).
All I'm really begging for is scraps from the Master's table; I'm not looking to get rich, I'm not looking for prestige, definitely not management, only to be able to pay those bills I have to pay to keep a roof over my head and the internet connection working! I'm asking for a job that I can go to in peace; not expecting perfection for we will not find Eden here, but there is more to life than the stress caused by bad employment. No matter how much we are paid. And although the money is decent, it's not enough for what it takes out of us.
When out legitimate complaints are deflected, downplayed, or outright rejected by Management, then it's time to abandon ship. Will someone please send a lifeboat? Mass exodus from the Titanic that is my company is in need of lifeboats and personal floatation devices. I'm not the only one.
So I am saying a prayer each day, now, from the depths of my soul, begging for mercy, reminding the Lord that I may be only a dog, but even dogs receive the scraps from the Master's table.
And I am praying that if I persevere with faith in the face of the silent rebuke which has so far met my tearful pleas, maybe Jesus will FINALLY say,
"O Woman, great is thy faith! Let it be done for you as you wish."
Should the Lord answer this prayer, you will all be the first to know. For I am now doing what the woman in scripture did...I am approaching Jesus publicly in the face of his rebuke, (2 1/2 year's worth) accepting the title of "dog", and I will follow him to the ends of the earth in order to obtain the answer to this prayer...and I will not take "No" for an answer.
Help me, Lord. I am only begging for some scraps.

I know I don't know what your job is, or what the job market is like there..... but why can't you get another job? If I hated my job that much I would be applying for other positions.... Or I would be simplifying my life to reduce my costs so I didn't need that job.

Boy, do I know how you feel. I, too, am caught in the numbers game. They look at how many "productive" hours I have and wonder what the problem is. Did the lightbulbs and office supplies get ordered by themselves? Did the server get repaired or the cleaning company called by themselves? No...I don't think so.
Although I don't quite have the stress level you do I know exactly where you're coming from and it stinks.

Kiwi ~ I didn't want to go into detail about my job itself as in what I do, so suffice to say I'm in the Insurance industry. And although I've been looking for a job for some time now, but the only stuff that comes up is more of the same or other financial/business positions. I am NOT a business person. I'm definitely more of a governmnent/social services person; that's where my gifts are. But I'm completely stuck; I've been in my current field for so long that my prior experience is almost irrelevant to today's job market. I could make a case for Case Management, but it's pretty weak in the eyes of employers. And if I quit, sure I could get a job, but the mortgage, Association fee, and car payment alone prevent me from "simplifying". If I "simplify", then that means only getting rid of the cable bill because the rest is heat, electricity, water, etc...things you can't just cut out. I could sell my house, but it's a terrible market and I literally can't kennel one of my dogs; she's an escape artist...which means that I'd have to be nearby to show the house and be able to take my dogs somewhere when the realtor comes through. And the dogs...well, not a lot of apartments allow them, and those that do cost around what I'm already paying per month!
This is a job for God alone. Only HE can get me out of this hole I'm in. :-(
HeyJules ~ Amazing when management doesn't get it, isn't it?
Please pray for me, and for my co-workers. We have nothing against hard work; we are asking for reasonable work. Our jobs do not define us for we all have lives outside of our careers, and only work to pay the bills. The stress we are subject to is ridiculous.

Adoro - praying for you. We will start that novena either today or tomorrow, ok!

Keep up the prayers and the faith that Jesus will come through. My husband was in a similar situation for 7 years and finally he is in his dream job! The pressure in his two previous jobs was tremendous. The first job finally sold out after 5 years and laid him off and he got a WORSE job with half the pay and twice the work because he was desperate to feed his wife and 4 kids. I understand where you are coming from because he sent out 10 resumes each week for two years and didn't get a call until the Lord had the perfect job--he now teaches English at a small college and they are allowing him to work on his PHD simultaneously. We hope one day that he might get a job at an orthodox Catholic college, but we will go where Jesus leads us!
It took seven years (really even longer than that) of serious prayer and petition. God's timing is not our own. Just know that He wants the best for you!
Love, Suzanne

Thank you, Suzanne. I just wish God's timing was a little more in line with mine! (How's THAT for presumption! LOL). Seriously, though, I keep praying "Thy will be done", so I know if I"m still here, it's His will, but at the same time, I know that I have to take action, too. Maybe the only action I'm supposed to take is in prayer; I can't get my resume out because I can't find anything I'm qualified for, other than more of the same. ANd if I go to more of the same, it could be even worse at less pay...so I'm stuck.
But I do trust in God...I'm just begging for mercy!
I appreciate all the prayers!

The following video gives an interesting analysis of Iran's military capabilities in the event a head to head fight against the USA would take place.
The video focuses heavily on on air superiority and anti air capabilities. Iran's air fleet is aging, but significant. Their anti air missile systems are somewhat more impressive than their planes.
What the video fails to mention and analyze is the naval confrontations that would pose a real threat to the US and her allies. Iran has over 30 submarines that would begin targeting military and commercial vessels. In recent weeks, four oil tankers of US allies were sabotaged of the coast of UAE. Those naval attacks would escalate, and cause significant harm to the worldwide economy by crippling oil delivery and shutting down shipping lanes.
Additionally, a confrontation with Iran wouldn't be an isolated fight. Russia would support their Iranian interests, although their level of involvement cannot be accurately predicted.

best show ever... i watch this every week night at 1pm:) such a amazing show
Forever straying into the very bizarre, but entertaining
House was cool for the first two seasons, then it just became predictable.
Probably the best drama/comedy series that is currently airing. That says far more about the quality of TV right now than it does for the show, but it doesn't take much away from the show itself. It fell off a bit in season 5.
Excellent show, except for the season where House goes crazy.

My new hobby is sleeping. I get about ten hours a night, and then take a two hour nap in the afternoon. And the rest of the time I think about how great it would be to be asleep. Snarky comments about how I better enjoy my sleep now while I still can will not be well received. You know what your mom said "If you don't have anything nice to say..." The good news is I only have one more day of work. Wednesday Ryan is "forcing" me to buy a book and go to the coffee shop to relax. :) Yay for the best husband in the world!! Wednesday night we go into the hospital where they will start coaxing the little guy to come out. I've been promised a sleeping pill (!!!) and "any kind of pain reliever I want." I want Codine. Codine makes me forget I have hands.

It seems the prolific @evleaks is on fire. Yesterday, the notorious leaker posted an image of the all new HTC One and mentioned its headed to AT&T in the US.
Now, @evleaks posted another press render of the alleged handset with Verizon branding on its back, and you all have a pretty good idea what that means.
It seems the all new HTC One will hit all major carriers in the US, and personally, I love the new colors of the alleged handset, especially the gray one (posted above). HTC has already scheduled an event on March 25th where the Taiwanese OEM is expected to make things official when it comes to its "primary flagship device for 2014."
Based on rumors, we know that HTC One (2014) will come with a 5-inch display, slightly bigger than its predecessor, with a 1080p display and should come with Snapdragon 801 as its processor. Although, we'd love if it kick off things with a more sharper display and a higher resolution.
The all new HTC One is expected to come with 2/3GB of RAM on board, 16GB storage with a microSD card slot, dual cameras on the back and should run Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Sense UI pre-installed out of the box. There's also a rumor going on all over the internet that it will come with on-screen buttons.
We'll update you as soon as there is more information.

Carrier screening is performed on an asymptomatic individual to determine whether he/she has a mutation in a gene that is associated with a particular recessive disorder. Carrier screening provides individuals with meaningful information that is useful for reproductive planning. Traditionally, carrier screening is ethnic-based, and is performed for specific conditions. With the rapid decrease in cost of DNA sequencing technology, it is now possible to screen for a large number of recessive conditions simultaneously. This is known as expanded carrier screening.This webcast will describe the current progress and challenges of using next generation sequencing in carrier screening. Next generation sequencing allows screening for multiple recessive disorders with high fidelity, quick turnaround time, and lower cost.

For most couples, bouncing back from infidelity is impossible. Some sources say that this is also the case for Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson, while others stated that they're doing their best to try and work things out.
But one thing is sure – multiple pictures and videos surfaced showing the man getting cozy with various women.
It seems that despite the fact that Khloe gave birth to a precious girl, she is still having a hard time forgiving and especially forgetting.
Here's what someone close to the KUWK star has to say about this whole mess:
'Khloe is still all over the place when it comes to what she believes when it comes to Tristan. He's sworn to her that nothing happened with Lani, and Khloe desperately wants to believe him. But, there are for sure doubts, of course, there are.'
'Khloe's friends are urging her to get in contact with Lani and get the story from her; they feel like she should do more than take Tristan's word for it. But, Khloe's not ready for that, she doesn't want to deal with the negativity right now. She's desperately trying to stay happy and positive and focus on her baby girl,' the same insider continued.
Despite the horrible drama, Khloe managed to realize one of her biggest dreams since forever- having a baby. These days are not that nightmarish because she can finally enjoy having her own child. Anyway, we wish her the best and enough strength to do what's right for her and her baby True Thompson as well.

I moved these bloat estimation queries to a proper github repository some weeks ago. These comments here just remembered me I had to update the gist to redirect visitors to this new repo :-)

@Sergey, as I kept fixing and nip-ticking these queries, I would be curious to know how they perform in their current version with your test case. As instance, last versions of the queries now pay attention to the fillfactor, so the result for table1 might be better now I guess..

«I'm not clear on where that error is coming from, so help improving the math is very welcome!»
I wrote about bloat coming from type alignment there. Maybe it takes part on the +/- 20% error you have with your query ? Note that my query is doing some rough estimation on toasted data as well.

See you at pgconf.eu un spain next week ?

The tree's here are beautiful. Nothing like New Orleans. A cool autumn breeze brushed through the golden-red silky long hair of an unfamiliar female Russian wolf, the crunching of soft coniferous needles and frosty soft dirt granting a fresh breath of life into her spirit. But, of course, that moment of peace was ever-so brief. The instant she heard the playful barking of her male pups, her head rose, and her gait went from a slow walk to a quick pace. Nikolai! Konstantin! Her accent was rather peculiar; a mix of Russian and American-Southern. What did I tell you about playing in the dirt! A small grunt-like sound came from her throat as she slowly came to a stop, adrenaline rising as the scent of her boys rose in the air. The boys are turning out like their Papa.... She watched the two month old pups roll around on the ground, nipping at each other and consistently running into tree trunks. This made her smile. Her boys.... Her strong strapping hellion hoodlums were true Russian warriors. Sabyne could see them years from now, ending up like their father and the rest of her Russian relatives - may they rest in peace - who gave the Somanov name a history and a representation worth being proud of. Papa would be pleased with this litter, she whispered, icy blue eyes twinkling with happy memories, the little that she had to hold onto.
Momma? Sharlotta spoke softly to her mother in that sweet innocent pure voice, one of the many characteristics that classified the small thing under "insanely adorable." The 10 week old pup looked up at her mother with a piercing yellow gaze from her spot upon the ground, where her mother looked down at her. She had laid down next to where her mother appeared to have settled and was chewing on a few coniferous needles as she talked. There was no trace of Russian in her tone. Why is Niko and Konny so rough?
The mother seemed to smile down to her daughter, leaning her long neck down to lick at the top of her head, cleaning her fur momentarily while spreading some affectionate love. Lottie's tail wagged, her small pink tongue with a tiny black dot on the tip licking her mother's muzzle in turn. The moment was cut short, however, when the boys slammed into a tall tree and rolled to their sides, seemingly dizzy. A short snort came from Sabyne. True Russian во́ин are aggressive and rough in battle; it is in their nature, милая. Your brothers are only preparing themselves to live up to the family name! The three year old made a low cackle sound, resonating from her throat and chest.

NAS and HD Recordings
I just finished building an NAS box using NASLite-2 USB as the OS. It contains 4 250 gB WD PATA drives. I put it in the basement about 60 ft away connected by Cat 5 cable.
SD recordings record and playback just fine. HD is another story. I get severe pixelization, broken audio and the timeline jumps in 2 to 3 second steps at times during playback.
The problem seems to occur during recording. If I copy one of the recorded files from the NAS to my local box and play it back, the same playback issues remain.
I moved the NAS next to my main HTPC, actually a combination HTPC and general purpose box, and connected it to my router with a 6 ft. cable. The situation improved somewhat, since I am able to record and playback some HD programs that are watchable, but not others. I've only had it up for a day so I don't have much experience with it.
My questions:
1. Will upgrading my network to Gigabit be helpful? How would I do that? I am trying to keep costs down.
2. NAS Lite-2 formats the disk with 4K clusters with no options available. The two SATA drives that I have in my main box are formatted with 64K clusters and they work fine with HD recordings.
3. If 64K are a must, could I run a Windows OS on the NAS instead of NASLite-2, reformat the drives to 64K and keep the network cable length short without upgrading to Gigabit?
I've not found anyone who uses any NAS that can successfully stream HD recordings cleanly. I've asked several times on this forum, but noone that has a NAS ever uses it for HD. Typically they use it for DVD archival, or SD recordings only.
The NAS I use is UnRaid by Lime-Technology. They just released a new version with performance improvements and it has been reported by one user that he can successfully stream two HD shows, while recording a third all simultanesouly. I've personally not tried this, but will when I get around to it.
Currently my solution is to use the NAS for DVD and SD recordings, while I have a local drive in my Sage server for HD recordings only. I setup Sage such that the local drive is only used by my HDTV tuner.
Here is a link to the UnRaid performance reports:
His report is towards the end of the first page.
Maybe this helps?
Yes, Dave, it does help.
My next question is how do I tell Sage to record HD to my local drives only? I've search the forums and haven't seen the method described.
Can you fill me in?
Look in your mmc/encoder lines for a specific tuner (in your sage.properties file), there is a line like "mmc/encoders/12345/forced_video_prefix=".
Set it to whatever location you want. You can also force each tuner to a specific drive or UNC path.. Very handy feature.
Sage Server: HP ProLiant N40L MicroServer, AMD Turion II Neo N40L 1.5GHz Dual Core, 8GB Ram, WHS2011 64bit, Sage 7.1.9 WHS, HDHR (1 QAM, 1 OTA), HDHR Prime 3CC, HD-PVR for copy-once movie channels
HTPC Client:Intel DH61AG, Intel G620 cpu, 8GB ram, Intel 80GB SSD, 4GB RamDisk holding Sage/Java/TMT5
Sage Client:Sage HD-200 Extender
I currently use my NAS, Win 2000 Server with 64K clusters 100 Megabit network, for DVD and SD's pulled from SAGE for archive. I dont have SAGE record directly to the NAS, only to its local drive; I use the NAS for recording that I wish to keep since the NAS is using RAID 1 and this time, and the SAGE server does not RAID. Since it is working I was going to move to RAID 5 to increase storage, but I have also been waiting for a good HD extender to then test HD programs while making the upgrades for the best results.
Sorry I cant help with a definite answer because I also am not doing HD records yet.
On question 3 what if you install Gigabit into the server and the NAS and use a crossover cable. This way the Gigabit will only be use for video traffic and your 100 Megabit connections with your router can be used for clients. Dual networks with a minimal cost of just the cards.
I have a Windows server configured with a Raid Array in my Study. My HTPC box is in my living room. They are both connected by fairly long runs (25-50ft) and plugged into the same switch. I AM using Gb for both devices and I can record 2 HD streams and 2-3 SD streams simultaneously across the network to my NAS box with rarely (not never ) a problem. I am using 64k clusters. I have also recorded 2 HD and 1-2 SD programs while watching a recording on an MVP in a bedroom at the same time.
So, HD can be recorded over a network to a NAS box but Gb network is essential to success. You can get a Gigabit switch for next to nothing to accomplish this task. Disk I/O is also important for multiple streams. I am using a HW based SATA Raid controller with a RAID3 array with 5 drives.
P4 1.6 with 512 pc133 ram, 100Mbit intel card & 2x300 gig pata drives & a few sata 500gig drives with about 150 hours of HD recording and has no problem playing back and HD recordings or watching live HDtv.
What are your hardware spec of your NAS server have you looked at the system info page on NAS to see the server load. HD is what 15Mbits/sec ? if you think your 100mbits isnt fast enough, you must have an error somewhere. I can stream 1080i HD through wifi (within 20 feet LOS of the access point) and the network load is 22% on a 54g setup. there must be something wrong, maybe your NIC is connectting at 10mbits ? which will cause it to fall on its face. Cables perhaps but I would start looking at software and hardware setups on both ends first before upgrading.
As I write this, I am recording two HD shows to my NAS and watching another from my NAS with no studdering etc..
12.04 server Sagetv7
HD-pvr / 2250 /PVR 500 / DVBS w/rotor & 36 inch dish
Gentleman All,
Thanks for your replies. From the replies, it seems this HD thing can be done to a remote server with attention to the proper details.
My NAS server is a 3.2 P4 Celeron with 512mB PC2700 RAM, onboard 100mB network and 4X 250 PATA drives running NASLite-2 USB.
The network sttus info screen tells me that the NAS NIC is running 100 Mbps full duplex. I'm not sure where to look to find what the network transfer rate is.
I am going to start by designating my 2 X 250 SATA local drives for HD recordings. However, to do that, I need to find out how to tell Sage to move my current library of SD recordings to the NAS and still keep track of them. Hope that it's in the manual somewhere.
I've modified the sage properties file per your example. I got it to work for one drive. What is the syntax for designating either of 2 drives?

I currently have no problems with HD on a 100Mbit network.
I found that the 64K cluster recommendation is only applicable when one records more than one video concurrently to the same disk. This because when two files are recorded concurrently the segments are recorded in an fragmented manner. With 64K clusters, the segments are large enough to enable the disk seeks to catch up.
Even then when the disk is near full and after a few months of recording, deleting etc, the fragmentation can still cause problems as I found out. I had to move all files to another disk and the copy them back, essentially removing the fragmentation.
From the above, it is easy to see that when recording to NAS with 4K clusters there will be problems.
There are two solutions:
1. Record all content locally and later move it file by file to the NAS.
2. Make sure each capture device points to a different NAS disk.
Either way the results are contiguous files on the NAS which should stream well.
I do 1. above. I record to a local 500GB disk and at a later time move the files one by one to the NASLite drive. I currently have over 1 TB of .ts files on the NASlite box that play well.
On my 100Mbit network I can stream a max of two concurrent HD streams from the NASlite without any issues. The third causes some hicups due to the bandwith limitation.
Windows 10 64bit - Server: C2D, 6Gb RAM, 1xSamsung 840 Pro 128Gb, Seagate Archive HD 8TB - 2 x WD Green 1TB HDs for Recordings, PVR-USB2,Cinergy 2400i DVB-T, 2xTT DVB-S2 tuners, FireDTV S2
3 x HD300s
My initial HD recordings were to virgin disks in my NAS and were recorded one at a time, at 8 and 9 PM. Neither were playable from the NAS. I later moved to my local drive and they still did not play. Fragmentation was not the issue. Maybe my DVICO card had a hiccup that night.
I have now designated one of my local drives as the destination for my DVICO card's HD recordings and those drives have always worked great. Do you know how to tell Sage to use either of two drives for a given capture device? Is this possible?
I moved one HD file recorded locally last night to an NAS drive and it played back perfectly. I checked the network utilization in Task Manager during playback and it was in the range of 7% to 12%. It would seem that I could easily playback and record simultaneously without running out of network resources. I am at a loss to explain my initial experience.
I'm going record HD locally for now and move files to NAS as I need space.
This has been my exact experience, except I have a gige connection between my NAS and SageServer.
It appeared to me as if the Sage write buffer was overflowing and creating bad recordings. I've not had issues with local drives.
RayN, you will need an RJ45 crimping tool.
Also to enforce recording to a particular directory use:
where 12346 is the numeric code in your Sage.Properties for your Encoder and E is the first character of an already defined(in Setup - Detailed) SageTV Recordings Directory.
So, if you already have a recording dir defined as E:\Recordings
all recordings from the encoder 12346 will be placed there.

I set up each of my sources to their own drives, HD to the one local drive and SD directly to the NAS.

I actually managed to solve this problem for my setup. I have gigE cards on both the Sage server and my NAS. What I did was to raise the Receive Window (RWIN) on both ends to something like 262144, and the MTU to be 8192. I'm using Belkin and D-stink cards, and a cheapo gigabit Netgear switch. No more stuttering for me when recording to the NAS.
To change those settings in Windows, I used Dr. TCP (google for it; it's from dslreports). Not sure how to do it in Linux though :P
Have I correcty deduced that these cheap NAS boxes running an embedded Linux on a slow processor, and with small clusters, is just too underpowered?
I.e., maybe can cope with one std def TV stream on 100BT LAN, but no more. Some of these low cost NASes run inefficient file systems, I've read.
From what I've read ext3 file system is actually more effecient then NTFS that windows runs. I know that NAS-lite+ uses ext3.

If you mean these packaged products then it may be the case since I have also read that their network throuput is very low.
If you are talking about NASlite on a standard (even old PC with 1GHz CPU) then this is not the case.

A lot of companies believe that in order to stand out from the crowd, they need their packaging to have the brightest colors, the boldest prints, and the most eye-catching patterns. While it's true that color can definitely have an impact, sometimes less is more, and a complete lack of color can pack the biggest punch.
Take Apple, for example. Most of their packaging is stark white with occasional shades of gray, and it's quite possibly the most easily recognized packaging out there. Amazon uses a simple black version of their logo on a cardboard background, and everyone knows when they've got a package from them.
This doesn't mean that you should shy away from color entirely — it's hard to imagine Target without the red bullseye, or Pepsi without the red, white, and blue circle — but often a simple, streamlined design, or a variation of your design, can really make your company stand out.
Whether you opt for stylish black or exuberant orange, many small business owners choose the color of their logo based on personal preference or gut instinct, but according to experts, the shade you choose conveys subtle messages about your company to customers.

Caesar wasn't sitting in his spot for more than two minutes before a girl in a tight, black bodycon dress and sky-high red heels came to deliver his drink. She flashed him a sensual smile as her hand came to rest on her hip. His gaze drifted over her to take her in—she was sexy enough, as far as that went, but nothing stirred him to act.
"Anything else I can help you with?" she asked. "Maverick said to make sure you were pleased."
Caesar offered the woman a charming smile. "For now, I am. Grazie, bella."
Her brow lifted at his Italian, and she grinned a bit. Women always did like it when the foreign language came out to play—Caesar never really understood the appeal. He could make a woman come just as well in English as he could in Italian. Who fucking cared what he was actually saying while they were riding his dick?
"Just let me know," the woman all but purred.
He might.
Not tonight.
All it took was a flick of his hand, and the girl was gone. Maverick had trained his staff well, and the girls were used to being either the center of attention when it came to a patron, or dismissed altogether. Caesar usually fell into the latter category here because there was always something a little more interesting that came along to catch his eye.
Like that right there—damn.
The woman sitting on a couch just across from his had entirely passed his view as he scanned the club, and right then, she seemed entirely oblivious to him as well. Caesar liked that because if nothing else, it gave him the time to peruse her.
And damn, was she a sight to see.
The body-hugging gold dress draped over her shoulders dipped low enough in the front to give him a peek at ample, perky tits, and collarbones that made his dick hard. Yeah, he had a thing for those—liked to bite them, really.
A slit in the skirt of the short dress came up to her thigh, and when she crossed her legs, he swore he saw a flash of bright red lace hiding beneath. God save me. He would have groaned out loud if he were a lesser man, honestly. Anything red or lace was his weakness, and he wasn't even ashamed to admit it.
Her black fuck-me heels helped to give her long, smooth legs the kind of promise that whispered they would look even better wrapped around his waist or head. Shit, he wasn't fucking picky—she could even have it both ways, if she wanted.
The woman's painted red lips and brown-copper curls framed delicate features, soft lips, and wide green eyes. Her gaze was darkened by smoky makeup he suddenly had every dark urge to smudge and ruin, and he wondered what that shade of lipstick she wore might look like when it was a ring at the base of his dick.
Wow, yeah.
He needed to get laid.
By that female right there.
As though she could feel his eyes on her, the woman turned her head from whatever had caught her attention, and her gaze landed directly on Caesar. Those small lips of hers curved in the most wicked way as her green orbs took him in from head to toe. He knew what she was seeing—women usually liked what they looked at when it came to Caesar, and he did aim to fucking please.
Black Armani.
Italian leather loafers.
Gold rings on every finger.
A let-me-fuck-you smile.
Sometimes, he could get them with just that smile of his alone.
Unashamed, the woman kept staring. Caesar lifted a single brow, and then pointed a single finger to the drink in her hand. Something red, by the looks of the little bit left in the glass. Probably sweet, but still enough bite to get her buzzed enough not to taste it. Her stiletto red—the same shade as her lips—fingernails tapped a beat against the glass.
"You want another one of those?" he asked.
Even over the thrumming bass from the music, and the noise of the club, he could tell she had heard him just fine by the way her nose crinkled a bit.
"No, thank you."
Caesar stiffened at her voice.
Soft, sure.
But silken.
Like the words stroked her lips with each one she spoke, and they probably tasted like sex coming out.
But it wasn't even that which made him pause. No, it was the hint of the accent in the background of her words—Italian.
"Care to join me?" he asked.
The woman gave him a second look, and then nodded. It wasn't a blink and a breath in time before she was gracefully standing from her own couch, and crossing to join him on his. He couldn't help but take in the way her trim waist melted into shapely thighs. All that golden skin of hers looked good enough to fucking eat.
"You looked lonely," he said to her after she had rested back on his couch. "Couldn't have a beautiful woman being sad on my watch."
The woman shrugged. "My husband flaked."
Oh, Christ.
God was good to him.
He was the worst kind of sinner.
And God still loved him.
At least, for tonight.

The brand aims to create awareness about water usage in the western world. Did you know that we waste an average of two liters of water every time we wash our hands? On average, we wash our hands four times a day, meaning that we waste almost 3000 liters of water every year. In 2025, 2/3 of the population will have limited access to water.

Kinesio Tape
During the last Summer Olympics, you may have noticed a lot of athletes were donning this colored tape. It was on their arms, legs, shoulders and back. Indeed, the 2012 Summer Olympiad was a big coming out party for kinesio tape.
Developed by Japanese chiropractor Kenzo Kase, kinesio tape has been around for more than three decades, and it has been used among chiropractors, orthopedists and athletic trainers since the 1980s. However, most people didn't discover it until the London Olympics.
Kinesio tape is an elastic, cotton tape that works by controlling the range of motion of the muscles where it is attached. Since the tape is elastic, once it's stretched to its limit, it pulls back. This helps prevent athletes with injuries from overexerting their muscles and risking re-injury. For instance, if someone has a sore hamstring, applying the kinesio tape can prevent that person from aggravating that hamstring by placing a limit on the range of motion of that particular muscle.
The difference between kinesio tape and traditional athletic taping is that kinesio tape allows for a fuller range of motion, whereas athletic tape is much more rigid. Kinesio tape moves with you and provides a tugging sensation to let you know you've stretched too far, whereas athletic tape provides support by restricting range of motion.
Kinesio tape can be useful to more than just athletes, though. Just about anyone who has suffered some sort of skeletomuscular injury could find use in it. People with sore muscles, people who perform difficult labor and people recovering from muscle strains and tears could see the benefit of using kinesio tape.
If you're interested in kinesio tape, you can purchase some at Apple Health and Wellness. We'll even show you how to properly apply it.
Apple Health and Wellness is a multidisciplinary clinic that provides patients with innovative, time-tested and proven solutions that will help them achieve their healthcare goals. The Knoxville-based clinic integrates chiropractic, physical therapy, medical care, podiatric medicine/surgery and rehabilitation to deliver the best patient outcomes.

Teen admits part in street gang's vicious knifing
PUBLISHED: 10:44 25 June 2009 | UPDATED: 16:50 25 August 2010
A 16-YEAR-OLD boy admitted his part in a gang attack in which a brave student was knifed four times.
A 16-YEAR-OLD boy admitted his part in a gang attack in which a brave student was knifed four times.
The youth was just 14 when he got involved with members of the Ferrier Boyz street gang - named after the estate where they lived - to attack 20-year-old Faheem Javaid.
The victim had confronted the gang after they robbed his 14-year-old brother on a bus in Kidbrooke on June 25, 2007.
In July last year six members of the gang laughed as they were jailed for a total of 46 years for the attack.
Gang leader Yassin-Noor, 20, was caged for 15 years at the Old Bailey for attempted murder.
Five other teenage gang members - Alex Ojerinola, Simba Chiuture, Neil Williamson, all 17, and Younatan Frezgi and Trevon Bert, both 15, were jailed for between five and eight years after being variously convicted of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and robbery.
The 16-year-old boy, who has no previous convictions, pleaded guilty to violent disorder on Monday. He was released on conditional bail pending sentencing on July 24. The youth had been due to stand trial accused of attempted murder and robbery but his plea to the lesser charge was accepted by prosecutors. He denies being a member of the Ferrier Boyz gang.
Mr Javaid was punched, kicked, beaten with a brick and pounded with a motorcycle helmet before Yassin-Noor stabbed him four times in the back.
The gang first targeted Mr Javaid's 14-year-old brother after spotting him on the number 112 bus in Kidbrooke as he made his way home from school.They robbed him of his pocket money before jumping off the bus to use the cash to buy a McDonald's meal in Well Hall Road, Eltham.
The upset schoolboy sent a text message to older brother Faheem who bravely set out to track down the robbers.
Mr Javaid suffered a 10cm deep wound to his back as well as slashes to his face and only survived thanks to life-saving surgery in hospital.
The attack was thwarted when passers-by stepped in to help the victim, who was able to stumble to a nearby home and raise the alarm.

For a base cabinet for the shop that has 24 inch wide drawers what kind of drawer pulls have you found work well. I have generally used drop down pulls to avoid catching cords and such but with a tablesaw mounted to the top I am sure these would rattle and make all kinds of noise. A cabinet I hold hardware in that is 28 inches wide has 6 inch pulls I made in such a way they do not catch cords. These seem to work well and allow a good grip to pull open the drawer despite the weight. And of course I have a couple with finger pulls. These work okay but are harder to find above 7 inches.
Currently I have planned on 8 inch handles that have 1 inch clearance between a flat metal handle and the drawer front supported by a block on each side. 1/8 inch thick steel 3/4 inch wide. In looking over this part of my plan I began to wonder if I had overlooked something better.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Nicotine: A Drug of Choice?
Edwards, Diane D., Science News
Having resolved to make 1986 smoke-free, some people will try this month to avoid their usual smoky haunts; others will seek diversions from lighting up the next cigarette. Motivation for many will be the scientific data linking tobacco smoking to heart and lung disease and to cancer. According to George Bigelow, associate professor of behavioral biology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, there are 350,000 smoking-related deaths in the United States each year--making the daily toll equivalent to that of four air plane crashes of the size of the one that took place Dec. 12 at Gander, Newfoundland.
"Because [smoking] is socially acceptable, we've become inured to the true magnitude of this health problem,' Bigelow told an American Psychological Association science forum last month in Washington, D.C. "Beyondthe loss of life and human misery is the cost in terms of dollars . . . an estimated $39 billion to $96 billion annually [including loss of productivity and $25 billion in medical costs].' Why, with growing evidence of the dangers and high costs of smoking, are more than 50 million Americans smoking cigarettes?
Tobacco industry representatives cite personal choice as the primary reason people continue to smoke. Yet, for the multitude of U.S. tobacco smokers who will try to kick their habit this year (16 million tried in 1980, the most recent estimate), quitting may involve more than the psychological battles of mind over matter, or fears for health over the pleasures of smoking. As reported in the U.S. Surgeon General's latest study on tobacco and health, released last month, a 1980 study found that 60 percent of U.S. smokers had seriously tried to stop smoking. But more than 80 percent who try relapse within the year (see graph)-- many the victims of what recent scientific evidence suggests is actual physical dependency.
Scientists and smokers have long suspected that nicotine, not just the act of smoking, is somehow addictive. But it wasn't until the late 1970s that rigorous experimentation on the addiction theory began, raising questions of how any acceptance of nicotine as a habit-forming drug would affect legislation and litigation. Subsequent research compared the patterns and effects of habitual nicotine use wath addiction to drugs like heroin and amphetamines. Results from some of that research were reported last month at a symposium on the neurobiologic aspects of tobacco smoking held at the University of Kentucky in Lexington.
"The role of nicotine in impulsive tobacco use is the same as the role . . . of cocaine in compulsive coca leaf use,' Jack Henningfield of the Baltimorebased Addiction Research Center of the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) told SCIENCE NEWS. "We can substitute intravenous nicotine for tobacco in cigarettes and [get the same reaction] from humans and animals. The drug [nicotine] itself is critical.' Nicotine, he says, meets the technical criteria of an addictive drug in laboratory studies by affecting brain wave function, altering mood and serving as a biological reward that elicits certain behavior from both laboratory animals and human volunteers.
Nicotine also appears to have certain beneficial side effects, which could partially explain the urgent craving for a smoke. Unpublished data presented at the Lexington symposium by Henningfield and other researchers agree with some of the thereapeutic effects espoused by smokers.
Testing concentration, short-term memory and other cognitive skills, Henningfield's group found that 20 smokers who quit for 10 days showed significantly slower and poorer test performance within eight hours after the last cigarette. Smoking or nicotine gum restored cognitive skills, the improvement and decline of which corresponded to recorded changes in electrical activity of the brain. "The effect is real, it's physical,' Henningfield says. …

THE third round of the FA Cup may well be taking the limelight this weekend – and sadly none of the area's local non-League teams managed to make it through to the last 64 of the famous knockout cup competition.
Nevertheless, the bread-and-butter of league action is sure to produce some exciting action tomorrow as, weather permitting, all 15 sides have fixtures in their respective divisions.
Blue Square Bet Premier:AFC Telford v Southport (3pm)
TWO sides currently struggling at the wrong end of the division clash tomorrow in Shropshire. Liam Watson's Sandgrounders find themselves in 19th place, just one spot and two points better off than their hosts. And the Port boss is eyeing some moves in the transfer market with up to seven new faces being targeted for the Merseyrail Community Stadium.
Watson said: "I think, if I'm being brutally honest, looking towards next season we are going to need at least seven new players in. And maybe some of those between now and the end of this season."
Blue Square Bet North: Bradford PA v Chester FC (3pm)
NEIL YOUNG'S Chester FC appear to be cruising along to the title. They have established a 15 point advantage at the top of the table and will be aiming to bag more tomorrow on their trip over the Pennines.
However, it won't be easy as the home side are going well in seventh spot and have accumulated 31 points themselves so far.
Blue Square Bet North:Oxford C v Vauxhall Motors (3pm)
MOTORS, who are 15th, face a stiff test tomorrow with their hosts sixth in the table. However, such is the tight nature of the division, a win for Carl Macauley's men would see them pull within two points of City.
Evo-Stik League Northern Premier: Marine v Whitby Town (3pm)
KEVIN LYNCH'S side will be eyeing maximum points from tomorrow's encounter at the Arriva Stadium. The Mariners are third on 41 points while Whitby are 16th with 25.
Lynch said: "We do need a couple of new signings, just to keep the momentum going. We are in a good position, third in the table going into the New Year, and we have winnable games coming up this month. It's about keeping the lads fresh and hungry, and keeping the push going."
Evo-Stik First Division North: Burscough v Lancaster City (3pm)
THERE'S a clash of two mid-table outfits at Victoria Park tomorrow when Derek Goulding's Linnets host City.
Aside from a 4-2 reverse against Cammell Laird on the last Saturday of the year, the Linnets have been in sparkling form. Their forward progress continued on New Year's Day when they defeated Bamber Bridge 1-0.
Goulding said: "The players are happy at the moment.
"We probably need to improve our win rate, but we are playing well and the spirit in the group is very good."
Evo-Stik First Division North: Cammell Laird v Salford City (3pm)
LAIRDS' form has been excellent of late and they have risen to ninth in the table with 35 points in the bag. They have won their last six matches in league and cup, their latest success a 2-0 triumph at Warrington Town on New Year's Day. Salford are currently 13th in the table on 28 points.
Evo-Stik First Division North:Prescot Cab v Curzon Ashton (3pm)
CABLES remain at the wrong end of the division in 19th place and only 14 points gained from their campaign.
Tomorrow's opponents are sure to provide a tough test as they are 10th and are on 34 points.
Evo-Stik First Division North: Warrington T v Skem United (3pm)
TOMMY LAWSON'S charges put their brilliant unbeaten record on the line again tomorrow at Cantilever Park.
It could well be the game of the day as Town are enjoying a good season themselves. They are lying eighth on 36 points while Skem are second on 44, with points dropped in only two matches this season. United are four points adrift of leaders Mossley but have six games in hand.
North West Counties Premier: Alsager T v Runcorn T (3pm)
SIMON BURTON'S Runcorn team have been at the right end of the division all season and will have three more points in mind when they visit Alsager tomorrow.
Runcorn are third on 41 points while the home side are 12th with 32.
North West Counties Premier: Bacup Borough v Bootle (3pm)
THE BUCKS under Neil Prince remain well-placed in fourth spot in the division and will be the favourites to collect maximum points from the match in North East Lancashire. Bacup are 18th in the table with 19 points collected thus far.
North West Counties Premier: Padiham v AFC Liverpool (3pm)
AFC are still struggling in the lower reaches of the division and will have their work cut out to claim anything from tomorrow's clash as the hosts are flying high in second place.
North West Counties Premier:Runcorn Linnets v Norton U (3pm)
JOEY DUNN'S Linnets will be looking to improve their current mid-table standings with three points from tomorrow's home game with United.
The hosts are 11th on 32 points while Norton are 15th, six points behind.
North West Counties Premier: St Helens Town v Colne (3pm)
TOWN remain mired in the drop zone and have bagged only 13 points so far this season. Tomorrow's opponents are going very well in sixth so a tough task awaits the home team.

Potato Cannon we used was built with PVC pipes. We basically went to Home Depot and assembled all the pieces before buying them. It's filled using an air compressor through a nozzle that's tapped into the end of the air chamber. The gun's worked great for the decade or so we've had it!

Nintendo Switch Online Family Plan Usable Across Multiple Devices, More FAQs Answered
Nintendo has put out a comprehensive FAQ for the upcoming Nintendo Switch Online subscription service, going live in September 2018.
We've translated the most important questions and answers that may not have been answered or clarified before. Read them below.
Q1. How to buy Nintendo Switch Online?
A1. Nintendo Switch Online coupons can be purchased via Nintendo eShop once service commences in September.
Q2. If I own multiple Nintendo Switch consoles, do I have to pay Nintendo Switch Online subscription fees for every console?
A2. No. As long as you have a Nintendo Account with an active subscription linked to the console(s), you can use Nintendo Switch Online on multiple consoles (keep in mind while you can link one Nintendo Account to multiple Switch consoles, you can only play your digital games on one active console).
Q3. Can other user accounts on the same Nintendo Switch take advantage of Nintendo Switch Online if only one account has an active subscription?
A3. No. Only the account with an active subscription will be able to make use of features in Nintendo Switch Online. To add other accounts, please purchase the Nintendo Switch Online Family Plan, which allows up to 8 accounts on one plan.
Q4. My family owns multiple Nintendo Switch consoles, so if I purchase a Family Plan, could the members of my family take advantage of the subscription through their different accounts and consoles?
A4. Yes, that's correct. The Family Plan isn't restricted to one console, it can be shared with multiple consoles.
Q5. If a Supervisor Account joins Nintendo Switch Online, could the Supervisor's Child Account(s) make use of Nintendo Switch Online?
A5. Yes, as long as the owner of the Supervisor Account purchases a Family Plan which supports up to 8 accounts. If not, you couldn't. Alternatively, if a Child Account purchases an individual plan, you won't need to purchase a Family Plan.
Q6: During the length of an Individual Plan, can I change to a plan with a different length?
A6: Yes. For example, if you are currently on a 30 day Individual Plan, you can purchase a 1 year subscription, which results in the addition of another 365 days to your current subscription. However, if you choose to downgrade from a longer plan (say 1 year or 3 months) to a shorter plan (eg 1 month), no refunds will be provided.
Q7: How do Cloud Saves work?
A7: We'll provide more information at a later time.
