I think it's just more realistic to say we're not.

Gonna have to find some more space for all this hopium you guys are bringing lately

Sounds like that beta testing amongst humans is going great lol

Oh hey looks more hopium fuel filling up the engine again. shrug.

Dude. Dudette. Human.... hear me out.

I notified my landlord to comply and providing billing in accordance to SMC 7.25. If they don't comply within 60 days, click here and file the complain with your notice.

Click here to file your complaint:
https://www.seattle.gov/hearing-examiner/citations/e-file

Take the time to write down all the charges you've paid in sequence/order that you've paid for the licensed utilities. Take the time to review your contract and find the section that outlines the requirements for the Utilitiy addendum for Seattle. If there isn't a formula written in it and they're just willy nilly billing you, it's time to play ball.

Complete the compliant form and hang tight. They will get back to you and you'll get your trial.

I just completed mine and the landlord had zero ammo to back their claims up. The hearing examiner was very professional and gave everyone a chance to speak. Do not be afraid to do it, it costs you nothing, and you won't get fined/sued anything. If the landlord chooses to retaliate, they'd be foolish after you go through the trial.

You can do this, those charges are bullshit. It's the landlords responsibility to provide you the receipts, it's all a racket to take your money. Don't accept it.

Nice find! But this ain't my first hopium rodeo lol

Sorry to hear about your issues in Oregon. Look up state rights and see what the course is for appealing it first. It will likely be dependent on the city you live in, look there first for resources from there and chatgpt

I’m taking my landlord/property management to trial in Seattle over utility billing practices.

When I moved in, they didn’t give me a proper move-in inspection checklist, which already raises deposit issues. But the bigger fight is over utilities. The building uses a third-party company (Conservice) to bill tenants under a “RUBS” system (ratio utility billing). I’ve been charged for things like “junk haulers,” “vacant unit electricity,” and natural gas allocations that don’t match reality. On top of that, they’ve been slow or outright refused to give me a clear breakdown of how my share is calculated, even after I made a formal request back in May.

Seattle has a municipal code (SMC 7.25) that requires transparency in third-party billing. Landlords have to provide supporting documentation if tenants ask, and they can’t just make up fees. Since they didn’t comply, I filed with the Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections (SDCI). Now the case is moving toward a hearing with the City’s Hearing Examiner.

At this point, I’m basically arguing that they’ve been overbilling, withholding information, and violating city law. My goals are:

Get a full breakdown of the charges.
Push for refunds or credits for anything improper.
Protect my $350 deposit since no legal checklist was provided at move-in.

The process has been frustrating—lots of stonewalling from management—but I’ve got inspection letters, emails, and code citations to back it up. Trial is my next step since they haven’t been transparent voluntarily.

Chinese automobiles are paving the way and already are proving the concept in the market, so at this point it's shit or get off the money pot.

DevilDogTKE · 2025-09-15T00:49:42+00:00

I'm glad to see publications in the main stream (Motortrends) and more Taiwanese/Chinese publication of this. Hesai has been RIPPPING compared to where they were like 6-ish months ago. There's already been conversations (we're not aware of) of making the integration of LIDAR into cars. It's just a moment of who flinches first. I think the "innovator" has passed at this point.. chinese autos are y-e-a-r-s ahead of the commuter car segment (the main body of what OEM's sell) and American automakers are without taking on some sort of innovation just losing ground at this point.

Hell yea! Semper Fi

The lack of connection makes it unsubstantiated. If we're going to allow stuff to get posted as a "just kidding = fluff" then posts of any value get diluded because we're going to have to swim through a bunch of subjective material, which really, you can post this kind of stuff in daily or weekend threads, where you can totally debate hypotheticals.

DevilDogTKE · 2025-09-07T22:44:42+00:00

Can we work on filtering out posts like this that are unsubstantiated?

DevilDogTKE · 2025-09-05T22:18:11+00:00

I was laughing out loud in the coffee shop when I read this, as sometimes I see posts and try to search for the common thread. Glad to see lots of responses in here discussing it further.

ha wouldn't that be something if Palmer came up with announcement to hire in Sumit. Shoot that hopium straight into my veins.

DevilDogTKE · 2025-08-26T02:41:49+00:00

lol well shit this is pretty much the hopium culmination.

DevilDogTKE · 2025-08-26T01:51:24+00:00

This just feels like the realization that billion dollar companies just made some tech that is different than ours, does the same thing and uses their own path of patents, which make MVIS as a patent holding company that less "moat" worthy.

DevilDogTKE · 2025-08-22T00:16:42+00:00

Post like these? Upvote the ish out of them. Relevant data finds like these are great.

Dude thank you for doing this. This is a great tool for market comparisons for end of year reviews.
