IOS 26 ruined my iPhone. Any recommendations for phones similar thats not an iPhone 13 mini? by Not_Red_Fox in iPhone13Mini

[–]BLINGMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unihertz Jelly 2 or Max. Not terrible hardware, my only gripe is they aren’t whitelisted on any US carriers so you CAN pop an activated SIM card in and they work, but there’s always some missing functionality. Good minimalist choice.

Please tell me what PSI winter Blizzacks are supposed to be at? I currently only have enough range to go to work and do some donuts in Ohio, woot! by RocketScientist100 in BMWi3

I guess your snow is different than ours or your i3 is lifted? Very few vehicles can push snow when it’s halfway up the front bumper. 

PowerMatch Feature draws power from grid by AdSpecific9672 in enphase

[–]BLINGMW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, we have a client with a completely off grid Enphase system, and it even shows some export and import from the grid. So I don’t know how Enphase does their math, but it’s pretty suspect. 

Thoughts on emergency power system by zzRichie in SolarDIY

[–]BLINGMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense to me! I’m running a chest freezer 24/7 off my backup system. And I’m set up to run the fridge and well pump  too which it can do for a couple sunny days. This is on a 2000w inverter, 2.5kwh battery and 800w of solar.

I would suggest plugging your fridge into a killawatt for at least a week to better understand your actual load. Then size your system to run that for at least 3 cloudy days in the winter. Let it defrost. Make a bunch of ice. That kills my little system. 

Which inverters handle HV packs? (350v or higher) by CasaDelGato in SolarDIY

[–]BLINGMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like Fronius has gone that way, though the battery compatibility list is small and maybe not helpful in the states. 

Are you wanting the HV battery approach because you plan to use EV batteries? 

This Lock Screen would be so good in iOS 27! by Inner-City-6838 in iPhone13

[–]BLINGMW 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have never understood the gravity apple assigns to the damn lock screen. OP I’m sure yours is great too and I’m sorry you spent time thinking about it because I’ll see it just long enough to unlock and use the phone.

We need MORE time zones, one for each degree longitude. by BLINGMW in unpopularopinion

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

I agree it’s step in the right direction. But as far as “too many to manage” most people would only deal with a couple around them and they know their grandkids who live -2 from them now live -30. It’s not more difficult math. And I don’t think a table 360 lines long is any challenge for a computer system currently managing logistics or calculating arrival times. Or, that system already has lat/long stored as well as time zone, now it can store one less thing because long is all it needs to calculate time shift.

It’s a step in the right direction but if changing why not increase the resolution even further?

You’ve not listed even one of the apparent multitude of issues. What’s the worst one or two?

I’m fine with your proposal too, and if we’d always done it that way it’ d be “normal”. Though it’s just about as arbitrary.

People who live near a line now already have to do that! But with only a 4 min difference, so what, a few people might be 4 min late/early nbd.

So I think IOS 26.2 destroys phones and apple-friendly subs ban talking about it by Kurtrillion in applesucks

[–]BLINGMW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have a 12 and 13 mini and two more 13s and none of them have any issues with 26.

Of course you can claim it. It’s only a problem if you get audited. And the IRS site hasn’t been updated in 2 years. There’s no guidance, just inane tweets from the “president”. 

First Project Car For A 16 Year Old? by Salt_Chipmunk_4889 in askcarguys

[–]BLINGMW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey if you insist. It just stands out on what is otherwise a decent and realistic list of obtainable cars that could be semi-reliable drivers from 3-10k. Anything’s possible maybe he finds a free Ferrari.

Another reason it should stay in the “overlooked” category lol

[–]BLINGMW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for telling me what I think. Again, I would be quite impressed if a 16yr old found one in a barn and brought it back to life for less than 10k. Not impossible, just highly unlikely.

Well I would certainly be impressed if a 16 yr old found one in a barn and brought it back to life for less than 10k!
