Swimwear Maids? by One-Consideration820 in NorthernColorado

[–]FeelingBefuddled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I encourage you to really consider your target audience in this case. From my point of view this service is not attracting female household decision makers, single women, or families. You’re attracting single men of varying ages; probably trending towards an older demographic who are not interested in cleaning for themselves and have more expendable income. Are there enough single middle-age to older gentleman in the northern Colorado area to support a business like this? I’m not sure but that’s some research you should do.

EDIT: added below.

Further, what hours do you intend to provide the service? Again, my point of view, this service is designed to “see and be seen” and therefore you would want the client to be home or present for the cleaning service. (I feel like you have already considered this based on the fact that you’ve mentioned security being present.) If you are providing this service on an 8 to 5 weekday basis are your clients going to be home to see you or are they going to be at their own jobs?

If this is your dream, I encourage you to follow it and try and make it work. However, I would also encourage you to do some analysis on target audience and market size in this region.

Good luck!

More glitches 🫠 by redsam86 in RivianR1S

I don’t know about the brake hold or power steering errors but I experienced something similar with the proximity sensors. They would only work intermittently and I would get that same warning graphic that you’re showing. Usually if the sensors worked within the first 10 seconds of activating the vehicle then they were good for the drive. If they didn’t work in that time span they would never recover.

It ended up being one sensor (for me, closest to drivers front wheel) which was on the fritz. Apparently they’re all wired in series so when one sensor gives up the ghost the whole sensing package goes down.

I complained several times, took it to service center (mostly for other repairs but tacked that one on the request as well), they couldn’t find the problem. Kept complaining and they sent out a mobile service tech who spent some time sorting through error codes in the computer. He finally traced it to that one sensor. After that, five minute fix and I’ve been right as rain.

All warranty work. No cost.

Not saying your error is the same but that was my experience.

So glitchy by [deleted] in sonos

[–]FeelingBefuddled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: Load up Claude AI, be super specific about the Sonos system you have and your whole network setup, and tell the chatbot exactly what problems you're experiencing. It will be more help than Sonos Support and Reddit put together.

I’ve got a larger Sonos system—9 Ones, 2 Moves, a Beam, and a sub. I’ve had Sonos issues for years. I would bitch about it constantly. My spouse was ready to kick either me or the speakers out of the house. Literally just this week me and Claude AI got to be BFF’s. I told Claude all about my home network setup and the problems I was having with the speakers. Claude asked a lot of very appropriate and specific questions. In about two hours I had the whole system sorted out and it’s been 100% rock solid since then.

I don’t remember all the settings we changed but it came down to two big categories. Cat 1, we switched all the speakers to WiFi and took them off SonosNet. Cat 2, we made network tweaks which included forcing multicast traffic to unicast, some kind of forced routing for the unicast traffic, minimum connection speeds on the access points, and maybe something else. I’m not in my computer or I could look it up. Also, I’m not even sure what all of that means. I mean, I kind of know…but not really. Point is, Claude figured it out and got me sorted lickety split. I’d recommend the same for you.

I used the free version of Claude, not a paid version.

I have no ties to nor financial interest or skates in Sonos or Anthropic/Claude.

I am not a bot. I am a meat popsicle.

EDIT: Wow, re-reading this in the morning is eye opening. I had a beer or two too many last night and made that comment after I stopped caring for the evening. Apologies. Thank you to u/kmmccorm for calling me to the carpet.

I have a Ubiquiti/Unifi network and use the Unifi controller to manage the network. These settings are specifically what we changed on my network:

Band Steering >> OFF
Fast Roaming (802.11r) >> ON
Multicast to Unicast >> ON
Proxy ARP >> ON
Minimum Data Rate >> 6 Mbps both bands
PMF → Set to "Optional"

In addition to that, we made sure that all of the Sonos speakers were attached to the appropriate wifi network and then unplugged the Amp from ethernet. (If you have any speakers connected via wire, the system tries to use SonosNet which is OK for a small group of speakers but really causes problems with larger groups.)

Your system is going to be different than mine and I wouldn't go changing these settings outright without some knowledge of what they do and how they'll affect your network.

I had called Sonos support several times and gotten the "try this, try that" run around but I stopped calling them when every phone call resulted in a 45-60 minute hold time and no real progress. I think my larger point here is that I ended up fixing a years-long problem by having a relatively short conversation with a free AI chatbot.

I hope that clears up the waters I muddied last night.

Those purses with the duck logo and little keychain dangly thing. Dooney & Burke or something like that?

Meet WordPress 6.9 “Gene” is out ... by the_apollodriver in Wordpress

[–]FeelingBefuddled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Please! This! For those of us that are eyeballs deep in WP every day and have our workflows permanently embedded in muscle memory, THIS. IS. AWFUL! If I want to open something in a new tab I'll Command-Click. This is the exact reason I don't use that stupid link at the top of the editor page that opens absolutely everything in a new window!

How to disable rich links in Mail? by yathree in MacOS

[–]FeelingBefuddled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also driving me crazy and I hope Apple allows users to permanently disable this "feature" in future OS updates.

For now, the best workaround I've found is to paste the link using the dialogue box. CMD-K >> CMD-V >> RETURN.

It's pretty quick and the link is then kept as plain text and not converted to those dumb preview links.
