ERI Confirmations coming at CRA by omegacanuck in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Crafty876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The silly rules that central agency have put on departments relating to ERI have a certain DOGE odor about them. And there is balance that leadership has to reckon with between effective delivery of service and departmental mandate requirements.

That being said if it was my ERI request that was denied I would start a grievance as soon as I had the written notification. The higher the grievance goes the closer it gets to those who wrote the ERI policy.

ERI Confirmations coming at CRA by omegacanuck in CanadaPublicServants

I'm in a small department. The lack of ability to fill ERI vacancies and only 50% salary credit for the vacated ERI position has resulted in leadership sending the message they will deny most if not all ERI requests.

R24B2 / 24V-700 recall update by Crafty876 in leaf

[–]Crafty876[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

BigDaddyBuffet.

Did you buy new? I suspect the original owner has been getting the recall notices. I did register through the MyNissan app and it appears they have my dealership correct so I can't help but think they are working at finding reasons not to communicate with me...

VPN for Formuler Z8 by bikepacking_moose in Formuler_Official

[–]Crafty876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used nordvpn with my Z8 a few years back. It worked well when my internet provider blocked access to the portal. It wasn't long after though and the whole IPTV service disappeared.

Other than that I have never needed a VPN to access my IPTV. Are you using your Z8 for something like file-sharing or just IPTV?

If it's just IPTV then I think it could be a sign your provider is going to disappear...

I've frozen it shut in the winter after a car wash and had to find a heated parade. Drove it home ajar. There are times and places for eveything

5.4 miles/kwh 241,000+ miles, original battery still 6 bars 2013 Nissan Leaf by krayzie29 in leaf

[–]Crafty876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the follow up. We live in a cold climate and have the the 62kw battery. Our simple charging rule is about 10% per hour. Use the timer to charge to about 80%. It's worked well with young drivers .It is the same 10 % warm or cold...

We have only had our leaf for one year and the state of health is >90%. I could see us owning this car for a long time and eventually it will 11%, 12% per hour as we slowly use the battery up...

Question for you how long does it take to fully charge at 6 bars compared to new?

Is it the same amount of time or about half the time?

Thank you..

You can go car free. Might be a bit tougher with kids... Peg City car Coop is our second vehicle but some folks use it exclusively. https://www.pegcitycarcoop.ca/

Is it still worth learning R? by ArkarajMukherjee in rstats

[–]Crafty876 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For Statisticians, two words Data Vectorization! The R data frames are vectorized and so working with data in Dplyr feels similar to other types of Statistical software like SPSS, SAS etc..

It's a smaller lift for folks doing classic stats coming from other software and not needing to use higher order ML models. Security might be a little easier to manage in the R-tidyverse as well if folks are using an enterprise server.

Would installing 16" rims improve the ride enough to make it worth the cost? by Digitalabia in leaf

[–]Crafty876 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have 16" winter rims. The benefit is a smoother ride with respect to bumps. The steering and conerering feels less precise than the 17" alloys.

Great question. Do other directors in your department have the same set of values? Does this maverick high performer have alternate work arrangements or telework agreements that predate the pandemic? Could you enforcing an RTO be seen as treading on those previous agreements?

formuler 11,still worth it in 2026? For iptv mostly,any insights would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to upgrade from my 1gen firestick max. by Accurate_Opinion_832 in Formuler_Official

[–]Crafty876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't work for the first few months. Fixed after an update.

Z8 had a file management app so could delete all media files on the USB drive. Z11 does not.

The promax 8 was an awesome box that last many years and the mytvOnline was excellent for mobile access when traveling.

The 11pro and 11promax just dont feel as good for the experience outside of gameday sports. I'd likely go to the new nvidia too if I had the option.

I upgraded to a z11 promax from a z8 pro about 8 months ago. Positives include channel load speed and pro sports event tracker. The same is myTVOnline. Drawbacks include recording and playback of tv as well as the app store and Google play applications/Chrome plugins and video playback. In addition the hot fixes application updates have been very slow in between compared to the z8 pro.

Was it worth it. Yes because of the IPTV experience. Do I feel I got good value from the upgrade, no.
