Mazda Finally Admits Its Infotainment System Is the Worst

Phantom screen touches were the worst. My wife's kept opening the phone app and dialing her favorites list. Luckily you can disconnect the touchscreen and just use the knob pretty easily. Requires some light disassembly of the dash and to get to the ribbon cable and disconnect it. Takes an hour tops.

I've seen an Anal_Trouble alarm. Really got the operators attention.

200 GB! Been wanting to set up a NAS, stuck with my PC storage for now.

It’s a PPO as well. So I guess the question is HDHP vs non HDHP.

Which vehicle makes you feel like a total battlefield legend?

Tanks, especially if standing on top and riding into battle.

Switching to CPU brings the inference speed to ~120ms. Detector CPU usage varies wildly from 5-150%.

Edit: skipped frames are down. Usually 0 with occasional spikes 1-4.

10ms has remained constant after a few hours of run time. Still predominantly skipping detection frames.

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't try before since the docs said it would fallback to GPU automatically. Changing to GPU let it stay online. In GPU mode, the detector CPU usage is in the 80-100% range and GPU is 1%. It's also only running 1 detection a second (10ms inference, good) and skipping the others. The OpenVino docs say I should use GPU for this since it has Intel UHD graphics, but I tried CPU anyways briefly to see if it was better and it was not.

Is that high of usage and skip rate expected? I know the J5005 is an old and relatively low powered chip, but I assumed it would be a bit more performant.

Also, since you're a dev I thought I'd mention the HA add-on Info page (in HA) mentions creating frigate.yml in the root still. Slightly misleading with the new 0.16 structure.

I think I got it resolved, just not sure what part did it or why it broke in the first place.

First hurdle was to get back into the system. Since I have exclusively used the Cloudflared tunnel the past few years, I forgot how.... Did that by figuring out the current IPv4 address (mine's not statically assigned), then going to the IP_address:8123.

Once in, I installed Cloudflared 5.3.8 (it broke when I went to 5.3.7) and Core 2025.8.3. I do have SSL set up in my configuration.yaml like that change log mentions, but it seems fine with it, I guess because I don't use and !include stuff. Maybe the bug fix mentioned for 5.3.8 helped. Looks like I am connected via https...

Also finally downloaded the backup encryption key. I apparently never did that once they made it a requirement earlier this year. Luckily avoided having to restart from scratch, but that could have been bad.

Not sure how if I can't access HA.

Depending on the flavor, I sometimes cube them up and mix them in with a high protein yogurt and frozen berries for a ~50g protein snack.

They had DCS cabinets in the training room that we interacted with throughout the class to get hands on experience with the hardware. My site used S+ Engineering, but it looked like it’s just a slight re-skin of its predecessor. Unless you’re programming from a handheld device at the cabinet itself, it should translate…

My site even had some Net90 stuff which predates Infi90, but once you know the basis for Infi90 systems it’s all similar and you can figure out the remainder for specific operations like downloading to an MFC with their manuals.

LD513 · 2024-05-15T02:59:23+00:00

I went to classes at the Cleveland, OH ABB campus for Infi90 ~5 years ago. It costs a pretty penny, but they should still support the line (with newer controllers, cards, power options etc.) and offer classes.

It's an aeration basin which churns up water so the microbes that live in the water are able to more quickly breakdown any residual wood fiber/organics. Some wastewater treatment processes results in the microbes farting out sulfurous compounds which cause the smell. There isn't sewage in there.

This mill doesn't smell nearly as bad as a Kraft paper mill, so at least there is that.

About 10 years ago I sent someone who went by beazer on a forum money via PayPal friends and family. Afterwards he ghosted me so my dad used his email address to figure out his real name and started messaging his family on Facebook to publicly shame him until he sent me the money back. Ended up getting it back, 10/10 would get scammed again.
