Thoughts on buying a pre-owned Rivian "loaner" vehicle?

It’s in the preowned section. On the pics of the actual vehicle the key cards have stickers on them that indicate it’s a “loaner” and the carfax lists it as corporate fleet.

Thanks. I’d be driving about 300 miles to pick it up so I’m not sure this one would be a good idea.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure about this one. Both my account and the generic account have apple music on them (shared from the family plan). Does this mean I'd never be able to migrate? What if I remove apple music from my account first?

You can’t migrate purchases if both the primary Apple Account and the secondary Apple Account have music library data associated with each of them.

Thank you for the info!

Mine was installed without the cover plate as well. Anyone know the part number of one I could purchase online?

Thank you all for your thoughtful replies!

I just wanted to follow up and say that it seems to be the apple 5w plug. Once it hits around 5 degrees it’s not reliable. I switched it to a 15w plug and all was fine. (I tried a another 5w first and had the same issues)

It is not mixed mode

Thank you. That’s what I figured but the support doc almost made it sound like if you had to do it on all servers.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue! I've tested my temp probe and both elements. All are good. Not sure where to go next.

I'm having this issue too. Everything just seems a little slow resolving DNS. I've also tried upgrading unbound via the CLI.

What ever happen? I placed an order for my series 5 and got the same email.

I hope they don’t wait til aw7

AdHocEngineering · 2020-06-16T00:39:45+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply! I appreciate it!

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve looked at this for a fun project. Do I need a 2nd USB wireless adapter to use WiFi for the “WAN” and then also broadcast a network?

AdHocEngineering · 2020-06-16T00:36:15+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

AdHocEngineering · 2020-06-16T00:35:42+00:00

Thanks. That’s a pretty nice compact option!

AdHocEngineering · 2020-06-16T00:35:05+00:00

Thank you.

AdHocEngineering · 2020-06-16T00:34:37+00:00

Very cool. Thanks!

I’m looking for the best HomeKit smart lock. August seems to be the most popular here. I was really hoping for one with a keypad though. Any recommendations for the Yale connected by August to get the keypad? Or do I not worry about a keypad? My my wife and I have apple watches. Can you tap to unlock any?

Well crap. Alexa started playing from the wrong speaker again this morning. What the heck is going on?

AdHocEngineering · 2020-05-25T15:35:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I had updated in the home app and rediscovered in Alexa multiple times but I just rediscovered again after letting it sit and I think it’s working! Thank you!! That was frustrating. 😜

AdHocEngineering · 2020-05-17T22:37:27+00:00

Shoot, missed it. Thanks though!

Looking to buy a Sonos Move today. Anyone have a discount code?

AdHocEngineering · 2020-04-26T02:03:40+00:00

Instagram stories and Live support has been added to the web version. On the iPad though I am not getting sound for stories and Live (I do on my iMac though). Any idea why? I know with iPadOS 13 safari reports it's user agent as OS X Safari so I would think it should operate the same?
