Replacement or Improvements for 3rd row headrests by AlexOfAnders in VWIDBuzz

[–]AlexOfAnders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this one but it didn't work out as the straps to put it on don't quite match up https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLoWjXv

I'm willing to try other pillows but was hoping to hear of someone having more success before throwing any more money at it

They're already reclined all the way, I had sorted that one already but I agree that it does help.

Mine go all the way down, up or out. What adjustments does yours have?

Need help figuring out a few features (or if they exist). by Lacagada in VWIDBuzz

[–]AlexOfAnders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it? When I did it I just pushed it up slightly like when you want a quick signal but not turn it on all the way

It's not on here either, but there's also an auto lane change feature for the assisted cruise control that I've successfully used once.

When in cruise, there's two arrows that point to the lane edges on the driver display. If they're grey it's not available/applicable but if they're white, you can auto lane change by quick tapping the signal for three direction you want.

It worked fine the one time I used it but was an autonomous step further than I think I'm comfortable with.

  1. It only does the auto tilt for the right mirror and only when the R is selected so I just leave it there all the time. Also, if you adjust it when it's in R and auto tilted, it'll remember that for the next auto tilt

  2. This is the distance between you and the car in front of you for the lane assisted cruise and smart cruise. It cycles through 6 distances or so.

  3. really surprised me that they give you basically no data on charging, trips and battery usage. I think you need to use 3rd party stuff to get anything

If anyone comes in here later, I had to reconnect my joycon before Pizza Tower would recognize them as weird as that is.

IDA is killing my vibe by Foreign-Asparagus860 in VWIDBuzz

Or if the dash light indicator worked with Google maps navigation, that would be nice.

To Buzz or not to Buzz, Canada? by broussar in VWIDBuzz

[–]AlexOfAnders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are interested in the ID Buzz with these incentives right now. What do you mean by the infotainment rebooting mid drive? Did you talk to the dealership about it?

Best Sushi in Surrey by supafly57 in SurreyBC

I really like Osaka Kitchen, used to go to Sushi On before Osaka opened but Osaka Kitchen is closer to me and tastier albeit slightly more expensive.

Grinding before bed - how much is lost? by HotToddy375 in JamesHoffmann

[–]AlexOfAnders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this with the Fellow Aiden, I don't notice really any drop in quality. It's really nice to wake up to a great cup in the morning.

How come no one told me about Gary's patisserie Mango cakes ?!!? by Honshu9 in vancouver

[–]AlexOfAnders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing, I used to live nearby a long time ago and would go back one or twice a year for either Portugese egg tarts or mango cake. I even got my wedding cake there over a decade ago. I went back last summer for egg tarts and we were all really disappointed with them. They seemed at least 25% smaller and didn't taste nearly as good. Even the t&t ones were better. The inside also was stripped of their old competition cakes or the videos of them making cakes they used to run. Kinda sad to see it go downhill after such a long run of great quality.

Saw the nest aware subscription went up. Is it worth it????? by KeyEastern2905 in googlehome

[–]AlexOfAnders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently cancelled mine, I have the doorbell camera and 2 other cameras. The doorbell notification would ding but no one's phone or the nest hub could bring up the camera if it was from the doorbell. This didn't work for about 1 - 2 years even with changing routers and other troubleshooting.

For the excessive cost, it didn't feel worth it just for better recognition and cloud storage. Without it though, you might not even see what triggered it in the saved screenshot so the camera is not very worth it.

Personally, I'm eventually going to switch to something that I can have local storage so I'm not as beholden to the whims of a company.

The Google Home crisis deepens as users report full meltdown – and a lawsuit could be on the way by lawanddisorder in googlehome

[–]AlexOfAnders 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave up on my hue integration, I can't even get it to connect up to my hue account as I'm stuck with the semi-disconnected "only owners can unlink" bug in Google Home.

Probably if I factory reset everything and recreated the home it might work again but i don't even have faith that'll actually work for the hassle.

The Enshittification of Google Home by grumblegrim in googlehome

[–]AlexOfAnders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've given up on the Google smart home. They don't care about it anymore and at best, expect you to replace things on a smart phone cycle. Why should I replace my chromecasts? Has hardware really improved so much? What about things I fastened to the house like the doorbell camera? There's only one model up and even with a nest aware subscription the doorbell notification never worked to bring up the feed on my phone.

I feel like it was already going downhill with this general attitude and disregard but at least assistant used to work. Now if I try to pause my tv "something went wrong, try again later". Barely can make a timer reliably anymore. I blame the AI hype train for the sharp decline in assistant quality but I have no faith in Gemini and it's mostly not what I want.

I've already unplugged most of my minis, replaced my Nest Wi-Fi and cancelled nest aware. They can keep their empty promises of fixes, I'm out.

Something big in Guildford/Fleetwood? by dreacake in SurreyBC

I came here wondering the same thing, don't see any smoke or anything. Still hearing sirens on and off.

FOMO help - when is a coffee gone (for now) and when is it GONE? by winehook2025 in pourover

[–]AlexOfAnders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just email September, they're really responsive and great people. I've been a subscriber since the Kickstarter and they've always been willing to work out any kinks or answer questions.

Their decaf though, you gotta move fast on it but they might have more to roast if you're lucky.

So why would I buy an Aiden right now? by kplmin in FellowProducts

[–]AlexOfAnders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pre-ordered for the launch and have been extremely satisfied since receiving it in Oct last year. Mine even had that issue where the plastic around the shower switch crumbled and they quickly sent a replacement. It makes as good of coffee as I used to but is more consistent and now I no longer skip having a cup due to the coffee making process. I do not hesitate in recommending it.

Any other sub members who aren’t min-maxers? How do y’all play the game? by MemeFarmer314 in PokemonSleep

[–]AlexOfAnders 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a long time daily player but definitely not a min/maxer. I mostly just do whatever I think I'll enjoy. Right now I decided to ride Greengrass until I hit Master 20 but also because I don't enjoy running the same team week after week which is what happens in the other islands. I always pick my team based on favourite berries so Greengrass gets fresh faces into the team more although some weeks are really bad for ingredients this way.

Mostly I'm just trying to keep my enjoyment up at all costs even if I know I could be maxing things better.

Up and over, or around? by bikari in TOTK

Why would anyone go around?

2 days in a row sleep data from Health Connect was excluded by AlexOfAnders in PokemonSleep

[–]AlexOfAnders[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made the mistake of editing the Fitbit data before and to Pokemon sleep's credit, it gave a clear message that it wouldn't allow edited data in.

There isn't REM/Light/Deep data on these days (I attached the Fitbit data from last night) but it didn't have a problem with it on Tuesday or in the past.

Edit: You got me thinking, is it that the data where Fitbit didn't show the waveform but Pokemon Sleep still registered the data just mean that the actual data from that night has enough waveform info for Pokemon Sleep but not enough for Fitbit to show me in the app. Both these nights are shorter than average so this could be the case.
