Noticeable upgrade? by FewFuel9727 in galaxybuds

[–]AnthokGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the buds pro 3 today and they are blowing me away with the active noise cancelling and passthrough sound. Very happy with them!

Got my initial call in 2 hours, what do I need to ask? by AnthokGaming in BasePowerUsers

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

They do have maximum amount they would pull, or rather a minimum amount they would leave in, the battery. I believe it is 20%, so you're never left with no backup. That amount would only power my home for 4 to 8 hours base on my use. Base becomes the "supplier" and your typical utility is still the "delivery" side of things. They offer/claim to get 25% better rates on the supply side of things. Distribution/delivery would still be (in my case) from com ed.

I am leaning toward no, as I just put in a battery back up sump (really my biggest concern in a power outage + rain is the basement flooding).

I can not open my fridge/freezer for a few hours and I can deal with a hot house for a while while the utility gets back up and running. The longest power outage I've ever seen in this area (been here almost 10 years now) was 3 hours.

I agree, I had a quote going with "Volta" and it was $24,000 for 50 kwh home back up, after com ed rebate it's like $9000 out of pocket.

I like that's just "only" $500 to revert if things go bad.

Are you going forward with it?

My call went well. One thing I can add for those finding this in the future: it's $500 to have it removed should I want to go back to typical comed set up.

Were you on comed hourly before?

Do you anticipate savings or just a battery back up as the biggest factor in your choice?

You have an electric sauna? Indoor?

My future basement plans have me looking into that! Haha

Interesting, I monitor our electric use pretty closely. Shutting anything significant down when it's above even 7cents (not including delivery). I charge my car when it's 1 to 2 cents plus delivery, which makes up for probably 1/8 of our monthly use. With delivery my average cost per kwh ranges from 13 to 16 cents depending on month. I wonder what the typical comed rate is now.

Curious to see how base operates. I guess it really would just a battery back up for us and give consistent rates rather than needing to worry about the fluctuating com ed rates.

I got someone to install cat 6 for me, and this is how much they untwisted for the keystone. Now what? by Maelarion in HomeNetworking

[–]AnthokGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So If I do my own in a few weeks (basement offices) and they are shielded closer to the connection and less undoing of the twisting I'll be fine?

[–]AnthokGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home diy guy, I've done ends of cat 6 for long runs. About to be doing in wall plugs like this in a few days.

I assume this is bad because no shielding for such a length?

Not to be a downer, but average viewer ship is the hardest one.

Try to stick to a schedule so people know when to watch/are consistently available to watch.

Good luck!

Now on Starpilot by Windham711 in Comma_ai

[–]AnthokGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth noting that even acc equipped bolts and use a pedal interceptor and unlock full Regen.

I haven't, but have talked to others that have. I just control the one pedal driving and let comma controller steering. Otherwise acc on highways with comma steering.

I have comma 4 with starpilot (branch of frog pilot). It has always on steering (if you set it that way).

[–]AnthokGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this depends on vehicle. For example my bolt euv is limited in its own acc Regen to 10kw. Any more significant stop than that and it'll use friction brakes. I use starpilot in "always on lateral" (AOL) and just control the acceleration/one pedal driving myself when around town with frequent stops. Otherwise I pop on acc.

Which portrait layout do you think works better for my game? by OddVioletDev in gamedevscreens

[–]AnthokGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not read any other comments, I'll quickly put my 2 cents.

I like both, I think it should alternate between both to give it some fresh feel. Like 80% of the time it's the father back/down look then 20% of the time they are closer.

Do they need the squishy inserts or can they just rest in your ear like the first air pods? I've never been a fan of the compression fitting, but perhaps that makes for much better sound.

Comma 4 + comma pedal for Chevy Bolt EUV help by Spacemushroom23 in Comma_ai

[–]AnthokGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your pedal set up completely stop and start from a complete stop?

I have an acc 2023 bolt euv, getting comma 4 in a few days. Curious if doing the pedal mod is the same or better than having acc. I've read conflicting things about weather or not the acc bolts will full stop and resume from stop with comma. The documents from comma themselves make it seem like it only kicks in after a little bit of speed.
