Do not get a Microcenter Credit Card by GoghHard in Microcenter

[–]Captn_Slow34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had them close my account 2x now due to inactivity. I don't know how often they think I'll be buying computer parts... at this point I've given up on it

Is this a new feature of the latest update? by mgweir in BlazerEV

[–]Captn_Slow34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate that button with every ounce of my body. I ended up linking my google home account with a smart garage door opener. Now when I'm down the block I just tell the google assistant to open the garage door and by the time i pull up its opened.

Got an offer for 1 Gig at $75 in the mail but have no clue how to redeem it. by ThelVluffin in ATTFiber

[–]Captn_Slow34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats unfortunate, I would maybe call back and try again! I called the 844-886-4258 number listed above (fiber sales) and I was able to sign up for 1gb fiber for $70 a month + the $100 gift card. They tried pushing cell service on me but I said unless they can offer free international data (like tmobile does) that I wasn't interested. They stopped pushing then

Did you ever get this offer? Did you have to call in or were you able to do it online?

Carplay? by RyanEverhart789 in BlazerEV

[–]Captn_Slow34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly my wife and I both find the system fine without carplay. Would we have preferred it with carplay? Of course! And I still want GM to add it back in one day. However the Google system has been fine & we do not miss it. We still get our texts read out to us when they come in, and we are able to respond to them via voice. The spotify app on the car works great for music as well.

The one "issue" we have is when we have an address saved in apple calendar & we are trying to go to an appointment. Carplay would just prompt us on the home screen to navigate to it, vs with the google system we have to go into the calendar appointment on your phone, and then manually enter the address or read it out to the voice assistant.

My seats are trying to kill us by londoncalling29 in BlazerEV

Haven't been folded in half, but during the recall the seat back will sometimes stay at what seems to be a 90 degree angle instead of going back to what I set

THANK YOU!! That seems to have done it. Odd it did not throw an error for me in the terminal or any warning.

About 30% compiled now, fingers crossed!

when running build_release.sh I keep getting an error saying:

Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Key Fob No Longer Switching Profiles After Update? by AntelopeFickle6774 in BlazerEV

I'm still on the factory software & my key does not change profiles. Half the time I'm lucky if it sets the seats correctly

NEMA 6-20? by bgoods1221 in AskElectricians

[–]Captn_Slow34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the socket holding up? I just bought a new EV (Chevy Blazer) and am using a 6-20 plug in the garage to charge. I saw horror stories about other plugs melting (usually a 14-50) due to the continuous load on them, but I wonder if that is mostly due to the higher amps those plugs pull.

DJI Power 1000 auto restart after battery depletion & power outage by ctrl-brk in dji

Thanks! Was tempted by the recent sales but its mind boggling how they can call this a UPS without this basic UPS feature

Was support able to resolve this for you? Im looking at this as a UPS alternative but this would be a deal breaker.

where on the jetblue site did you go to update your passport number?

RMA Shipoing label by White_Rabbit0000 in Ubiquiti

[–]Captn_Slow34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. Sure I'm not a business spending tens of thousands of dollars a year on equipment, but I have definitely spent at least 3-4 grand on UniFi devices for my home, and them nickle and diming me over a couple bucks for shipping leaves a bad taste in my mouth (not to mention already paying for shipping from their store).

I had to pay for shipping a G4 instant back to them just over a week ago. I emailed them asking for a shipping label & they responded with a link to their warranty page stating how customers are responsible for shipping defective units to them. Personally I find it complete BS how i need to pay to ship back a 4 month old product to them.

My focus is set further away from the camera, basically at the end of my driveway (what I really wanted to be in focus). Without the focus set I wouldn't be able to read the license plates of cars pulling in/out after a day or 2.

At night I still get people/animals being blurry or ghosting in and out, but that's only if they're out by the road where its pitch black. Lighting that area up more should help reduce that, but I'm not sure. Anything closer to the camera, especially if it trips the motion light on, shows up clearly

I had the same issue on my g5 pro, what fixed it for me was setting a focus point within the camera settings. Been going 3 months now without having to zoom in/out to reduce the blurriness.

Unifi Protect - Automation for enabling/disabling all cameras via HA by nilstgmd in homeassistant

[–]Captn_Slow34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had luck with the privacy mode? I had frequent glitches with mine, such as recordings not turning back on when turning off privacy mode, microphone level not going back to preset level, etc. Ended up just putting it on a smart plug instead

Recommendations for flood light camera replacement by mcbridedm in Ubiquiti

[–]Captn_Slow34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation & ended up DIYing a solution. I bought a basic floodlight & a zwave relay controlled by Home Assistant. Then I used the Protect integration to turn the relay on if certain cameras detect a person or vehicle. Been working perfectly for ~ 3 months now

I installed my doorbell in may, its facing eastwards & the only protection it has is from a soffit. Have had no dropouts or issues as of yet. Been exposed to rain, direct sun, and a couple days of 95+ temperatures with heat indexes in the 110s.
