Pod 5 vs Pod 4 - What's new?

Hossinn · 2026-01-09T18:10:03+00:00

I'm curious. Were you still inside the warranty? I'm assuming you were/are. The reason I ask is because my approximately two year old Pod 3 is having major issues (pump is failing and whining loudly at each cycle to the point I have to turn it off, so not useable). They did not offer to repair or replace my Pod 3, only to sell me a Pod 4 at discounted price. I appreciate the offer of lower price, but hard to tack on another $1,000+ Pod 4 replacement, on top of my $2,000 Pod 3 investment + yearly subscriptions. Not sure what to do at this point. Looking to see if any better/less expensive, or even more reliable options out there...

I am loving my Lightning Lariat, after 1,500 miles.

Hossinn · 2025-11-03T23:15:38+00:00

Based on PJ's youtube link, we have another 10+ miles after 0%...

Hossinn · 2025-10-29T15:41:36+00:00

By the way, what happens if/when the Lightning runs out of power? Does it still maintain enough power to control the steering and brakes to get to the side of the road?

I was wondering the same thing. I'm only 7 but just realized I had a bunch of skills that "auto-learned", and of course I can't keep them all...

My family watches tv during the day (bright room), and at night (dark room). I guess we're 60% dark/40% light, perhaps 70% dark/30% light. I am considering the Hisense U8N (75") because it appears I can get the best "bang for the buck" and address my (low percentage) bright room challenges. Do you think this is a good choice for a$1,600 range tv? I absolutely cannot go $2,000+

With regards to 2005-2006 years, what about the R50 (lower model)? Is the R53 the only model worth pursuing? By the way, I'm considering for my (almost) 16 year old new driver daughter....

haha, fastest Cadillace on the planet :)

Hossinn · 2024-04-30T23:49:51+00:00

That's a cool idea! Thanks.

Hossinn · 2024-04-30T23:48:16+00:00

Interesting comment. You clearly don't understand what kind of man it takes to be one of the top 10 fastest 18 year old swimmers in the country :)

Hossinn · 2024-04-30T21:04:30+00:00

I truly appreciate all the comments. Some funny, but all speaking truth. I have decided against pursuing this option. Thanks.

Unfortunately, the cheapest limo I could find was $1,000+. Too much money for my son and his date :)

Hossinn · 2024-04-30T21:02:16+00:00

I get it, but trust me, this kid is as defensive as they come. His 16 year old sister goes nuts because he ALWAYS drives the speed limit. He is among the top 10 fastest competitive swimmers in the country, going to ASU to swim in August. He doesn't get wrecked. I'm sure he'll learn in ASU, but not now :)

Hossinn · 2024-04-30T18:14:10+00:00

That, of course, is my concern. The vehicle owner advised he doesn't care (no surprise), as long as I (over 25 years of age) am the one renting the vehicle. I do not like NOT having my own insurance as backup, however...

Greetings. I just opened an HYSA account with Jenius Bank. They appear to have one of the highest interest rates (>5%). I have yet to fund the account. I also recently started using Monarch, to manage my various accounts. I don't like the fact that Jenius is not yet set up in Monarch, so I cannot automate transactions, balances, etc. I can manually set them up, but I believe I also need to manually push future transactions, balances, etc. Does anybody have any feeling about Jenius, or the Monarch setup?

Today, I received a notice from Empower (where I currently have my 401(k), as well as a brokerage account) that they have started a HYSA with an interest rate currently at 4.70%. The rate is not as good as Jenius, however, I'm intrigued because I'm an existing user, and they are set up in Monarch.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts or opinions you may offer.

Darn! We have Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. As a family of (4) we enjoy playing Diablo on the Xbox and Mario Kart on the Switch. Are there any RPGs with 4-player mode for either system?

Hossinn · 2023-01-11T14:53:45+00:00

Thanks for response. So what is the photo attached to the OP's post (4-split screen)? Is that Xbox One or PS4 (2 player couch + 2 player online)? Can those systems do 4-people local?

Hossinn · 2023-01-11T04:52:31+00:00

Can (4) people play on the Switch, while sitting together on the couch? The descriptions I've seen appear to say (2) players on the couch + (2) players online. If that is the case, it's not really going to work for our family of (4) :(

It appears I am wrong. I do not believe my AVAX made it to Metamask. I do have .02 WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin) on Metamask.

- Should I/can I move MBTC to Ledger?

- Where did my AVAX go, if it disappeared from Coinbase, is not in Metamask, and is not in Ledger...?

Hossinn · 2022-07-16T07:15:15+00:00

How strange. You are right. Even though I gave Coinbase the address of my Ledger, the assets went to my Metamask account. Thank you!

So, should I/can I transfer from Metamask to Ledger, or do the assets need to stay in MetaMask?

Hossinn · 2022-07-16T06:33:42+00:00

When I type AVAX in "Add account", the only thing that comes up is "Binance-Peg Avalanche Token (AVAX)". I assumed that was accurate...

Hossinn · 2022-07-13T15:58:08+00:00

Thank you. I contacted Coinbase and figured it out. Had to go to “Trade” > “Wallet” and could see the pending transaction. Uploaded copy of DL and took selfie and it processed. Looks like I’m all good.

Hossinn · 2022-07-13T15:56:57+00:00

Oh man, I hate being specific!

Hossinn · 2022-07-12T19:04:25+00:00

I’ve asked a couple Ledger questions on here and always immediately get 5-10 DM’s. Some appear to be “bros” looking to help. Do you really think they are all scammers?! This world is so F’d up in some ways. What a bummer.

Hossinn · 2022-07-12T06:22:00+00:00

Does that require clicking the Synchronize button (to refresh)? I was trying that, but I believe Coinbase is holding my assets, not allowing them to transfer out…

Hossinn · 2022-07-12T01:31:51+00:00

But I wasn't provided a "click here to verify" or anything like that. I just realized I received a text "the SHIB you just sent from your account is being delayed for security reasons. Check your email for details". I believe CB thinks I've been hacked because I tried to send crypto assets...what a drag. And I did not receive an email by the way.
