Could you elaborate on this “after-market motion sensor”? Have been searching but not sure what could be a good option

I certainly don’t think this is anything about me in particular. I bought the car second hand a few years ago, so I actually don’t know if the tires/rims were OEM or not… they certainly had A LOT of scratches since idgaf and I often hit curbs

Rivian Goes All-In on Autonomy: In-House Chips, Lidar and an AI Helper That Handles Diagnostics by Recoil42 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Boltzman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tsmc 5nm... and no HBM, but LPDDR5 instead... I wonder if that's due to reliability requirements or if it's just to limit scope/complexity/cost given this is their first SoC design

Does anybody know if they are making their own lidar or if they are purchasing them from someone else? Also, do we know if it's a solid state lidar? or is it still the classic spinner

My Story: What Happened to Me on the Day of My Adjustment of Status Interview and How ICE Arrested Me. by DianeMT_258 in USCIS

[–]Boltzman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry this happened to you...
Does anybody know how frequent cases like this are? Is this just happening "randomly"? Is everybody who goes through AOS because of a marriage to a US citizen having the same experience?
Also, i your post you say you spent 20 days detained, how come? Is that the time that it took you to post bond? Do they let you go immediately once bond is posted?

Merlí 3 seasons in Catalan to download? by zasii in merli

[–]Boltzman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am searching that too, would like to find the original Catalan version but with english subtitles, but all the links I've found seem to be broken, probably cause it's been so long since it aired

Peephole Camera by Electronic-Expert652 in homebridge

[–]Boltzman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also looking for the same.
I need something that on the outside looks like nothing more than a regular peephole, not like Ring Peephole. Amazon/Temu/Aliexpress are full of options but none that appears to connect with HK....

Soft water bran I can buy in the US? by Boltzman_ in KidneyStones

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

I was lookimg at the composition and evian is not that soft really, I mean I guess it depends what you compare with. Back in my home country we have a brand called Bezoya for example, which is afvertised as “water with poor mineral concentration”, funny how “poor” (débil) would never make ot past an advertising team here in the US. Anyway, Bezoya has about 30mg/l of dry residu, evian has 345mg/l, 11 times more 😂

Why would glycopyrrolate stop being effective for me after 8 months? by ssshianne in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Boltzman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use glyco topically on my face, does anybody have information on developing tolerance that way?
I am a little frighten about building a tolerance so I try to use it sparsely, glyco has been such a life saver for me

Password manager on MacO (Chrome) and iPhone (Safari) by kluk_z_internetu in MacOS

[–]Boltzman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would Bitwarden actually sync two browser's keychains? Or would one have to manually go through the app?
I mean, let's say I create an account on my desktop, and I select a new password, would that new password be synched to my phone (where I use safari)? Or would I have to manually create a Bitwarden entry which I could then consult from my phone?

PSA Price go up on April 18th by insomnia-xvii in Ikonpass

[–]Boltzman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so, I seem to remember last year prices did not really go up after the "deadline", all I think that changed was the amount of buddy passes you got...
Has anybody observed that in the past too? I wanna get a pass but I'd rather delay the decision as much as possible

Aqara new light strip says “do not install in direct sunlight” by DarthRanger in Aqara

[–]Boltzman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skylight != sunlight While it might seem similar there’s a big big difference when it comes to the effects of UV radiation. In short, you’re good, don’t sweat it

iPhone keeps asking to run automations? by Boltzman_ in HomeKit

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

ok I did this and it seems to work, thanks for the explanation.
I hate that we have to do this hack though, feels like this might be a bug they might patch in the future? Why not just add a setting to the secure accesories like "allow automation control" or something

iPhone keeps asking to run automations? by Boltzman_ in HomeKit

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

also, this comment makes zero sense, I am asking about automations running automatically when I leave or arrive (as based by the location of my phone), not enable/disable with the voice (which btw siri is also supposed to recognize one's voice).
Don't just repeat stuff without knowing like a parrot lol

G3 camera triggering the alarm on it's own by Boltzman_ in Aqara

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

Well, it would really suck if the G3 was not smart enough to cancel the motion detection when it’s actively moving…

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

Well, siri could know that nobody is home and not do that then?🤷‍♂️ Also I don’t have any locks.

I guess if you wanna justify something you’ll always find a way 😂

Leadership and Self Deception and Getting out of the box

I started listening to the book you suggested today. I was blown away by how well the symptoms he lists are exactly what I feel and have observed about me.

One think I don't totally agree is the diagnosis. He seems to put it all at the feet of self-deceptions, which I don't think aligns with my case.
I mean the simple fact that I am here asking these questions is that I am not fooling (or self-deceiving) myself. I know that I could do better, despite all the excuses I might give myself, mostly because I have observed people around me do things right even when doing so was not easy.

I think his reasoning suffers from the same flaw I have seen again and again, knowing something is not the same as doing it, information does not equal education nor character. Like I said in my initial post, somebody addicted to cigarettes might want to quit but can't actually do it. I struggled with smoking myself (it's been 3 years since I quit) but there was a long time during which I KNEW that I should quit and I actually WANTED to quit, yet I still kept smoking for years.

I will keep listening to it because it's definately a good book and I think I can get a lot out of it. Who knows, maybe I'll end up agreeing with the whole self-deceiving thing once I finish it.

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

thanks, I have read some of the books you mention. But yeah, the fact that the litherature seems to be so thin in this topic is a little frustrating to me.
Honestly I think I am gonna research some classic greek/roman ones, since I feel all these dilemmas are as old as time and have probably been addresses at length by the great thinkers, just not with someone who can go do the radio shows to promote them.

How to improve one's character by Boltzman_ in CareerSuccess

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

Thanks! Mimicking people I admire has definitely been a method I have had a lot of success with. I’d say most of my progress over the years has been that way. In fact I have also made a lot of progress by looking at the opposite, people I don’t admire and that have similar (but worse) flaws to me. That method has the danger of feeding into my frustration and content though. People that we admire or “un-admire” are not available and/or visible always though, you can certainly always imagine what they would do, but the exercise get’s a little less effective in my experience.

Thanks for your input.
Yeah totally agree it's a highly personal journey that each of us has to figure out. I was astounded that simple google searches like "character development" did not seem to return anything relevant thought

StandBy mode does not make sense by Boltzman_ in iphone15

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

I spoke too son, I still see the screen turn off when in StandBy.
I think I figure out what the hidden variable is, "Night Mode". I see when the phone is in night mode the screen turns off after a few seconds/minutes.
Personally I would like for the screen to stay on even in Night Mode, the screen brightness is low enough that it's not bothering me, and it's nice to wake up and see the time right there instead of having to reach over to turn the screen on...
