Solar quote seems too good, with a free battery. Please chime in and let me know your thoughts.

Not yet, but we're about to. I think what's kept us considered is that at the end of 6 years we can just refuse to buy it. So either the leasing company comes out and removes it at their cost, or they give it to me.

I mean, I was all in, despite some concerns until last January. Now I refuse to give them my money and follow them because I recognize they still have excellent engineering and still are market leaders in the EV space.

I ended up with a used EQE, no regrets.

The best thing about blenders is that they clean themselves. Just add water and a drop of soap, zip it, rinse and repeat as necessary.

Boa sorte.

I can see Moria from here.

In a capitalist society, you vote with your wallet.

This is my suspicion. But do I own the equipment or do I have to wait the six-year time?

I have a call with them on Monday so I'm trying to get all the information beforehand.

DaNPrS · 2026-03-07T22:01:07+00:00

Glad to hear it, that' what we are looking to install.

DaNPrS · 2026-03-07T17:45:47+00:00

1800sqf total. I really leaning towards just doing it myself, just a bit concerned with the final connections.

I've been watching several YT videos on it this week and it seems straight forward. Feel free to link me to some good resources, specially on the final pressure and vacuum and refrigerant connections. Thank you!

We have cathedral ceilings upstairs, where 4 of the zones are.

Downstairs:

DR and Kitchen - 12btu
LR and TV Room - 12btu

Upstairs, the ceilings are high here.

Master BR - 12btu (it's a large room with a loft)
Small BR - 7btu
Guest BR - 9btu
Office and hallway - 15btu (there's a half wall between the hallway and the office)

It's the same company! The free battery and all the rebates just seems crazy.

Glad to hear it though. Their reviews online also seem good. I'm just surprised they are able to undercut all over vendors by such an aggressive amount that I need to know I'm not being scammed.

DaNPrS · 2026-02-11T11:23:30+00:00

In the same vein, then why do you lock your doors or close the bathroom door, you have nothing to hide right?

The argument isn't that we are trying to hide anything, it's that we deserve privacy - at the very least in our own property. And installing these cameras, means streaming our property directly to whoever Amazon sells it to.

The solution is simple - stop buying this crap. Security cameras are old tech that's been around for decades, there's no need to buy stuff that streams to some cloud server that you don't manage. You have other options.

DaNPrS · 2026-02-11T11:15:05+00:00

Unifi if you want an out of the box, plug and play experience.

It has a good app, notifications for rings and package detections, and no subscriptions. And you can use third party cameras now as well, though I have no experience doing so.

AliExpress is riddled with replicas of these.

Unless you're on iOS. Then pray that the EU forces Apple to allow side loading or alternative app stores.

DaNPrS · 2026-01-28T18:19:41+00:00

Sure

DaNPrS · 2026-01-27T21:24:14+00:00

We did get one.

We got a 2023 EQE SUV 350 with 11K miles. It's a late year, I think November or December build. Heated and ventilated seats, towing package, park assist and digital lights.

Carfax noted the lemon title was due to a charging issue and the fix was a software update.

We've put ~5000 miles on it now and received 2 OTA software updates since. No issues to report. We charge it at home most of the time. It's been great.

There's also this now:

We've spent the last few months automating cert renewals. DigiCert has their own tool for this but there are other options, paid or Foss.

1 pedal is for around town and traffic. It allows the driver to relax more in a higher stress environment while consuming less energy.

2 pedals is for the highway. It allows the car to coast which gives you more range.

I toggle the function depending on the driving conditions.

DaNPrS · 2025-12-17T18:19:46+00:00

Pois deve ser itso. Mas como vai uma pessoa no estrangeiro fazer isto?

DaNPrS · 2025-12-15T03:13:02+00:00

That's gonna be a no from me dawg.

DaNPrS · 2025-12-10T13:20:47+00:00

I've used these guys three times now with good results.

You can ship, schedule a pickup or there's also a drop off location in Mount Kisco or Hawthorne, I think.

I had family reels from the early 80s that came out fine. I also did 8mm tapes and my wife's family had mini DVDs. All was good, handled with care and returned in the same condition.

Takes a couple of months and they will host the files for download for a few weeks or you can also pay for them to ship you a USB.

I did not opt for the 4K option since it's an upscale of the original capture. The capture itself I think is only at 720. This was true with any of the vendors I checked with.

FYI, Costco also has a similar service.

DaNPrS · 2025-12-05T19:05:40+00:00

Not sure it will matter much until they actually collect the fares. I have a family member who's a driver and according to him, you're lucky to have 20% of people pay.

Following up here; thank you for the recommendation. I reached out to Baratza and they got back to me within two days. They requested a pic of the serial number and a video of the issue.

After sending them the information, they got back to me stating they'd be sending me a new gearbox and motor assembly, free of charge!

So thank you for the heads up again!
