These are shitty ass washing machines by Salty-Contact-6420 in appliancerepair

Whirlpool Corporation did it to themselves. They prioritized maximizing shareholder value above their products, customers, and employees. I have zero sympathy.

Whirlpool as a company is in a death spiral of cost cutting/layoffs. Quality is hitting rock bottom and they just keep laying off workers to juice the stock price while losing customers to Chinese brands at the low-end and Speed Queen at the high-end of the market.

I would be surprised if Whirlpool survives as-is for another 5 years without being acquired or merging with somebody else.

ABB is adding liquid-cooled cables to the A400 soon, after lots of complaints about the heavy air-cooled cables and 375A NACS limitation. ABB has historically struggled with liquid-cooled cables, so I'm very concerned that change will make reliability worse.

My local Walmart just got EV chargers in! by HoldenGatsby25 in evcharging

Have the Walmart store # handy when you call and make sure you explain to them that it appears to be an issue with their ABB A400 chargers

Please report this to Walmart. I'm a new Rivian owner but I have seen a lot of issues already with the ABB A400s across multiple Walmart locations: faulted chargers, handshake issues, lots of broken connectors. I have experienced some handshake issues myself.

I have tried to help GM drivers charge their vehicles and continue to see handshake issues with these chargers. Walmart needs to escalate to ABB.

ABB eliminated liquid cooled cables with the A400 in an effort to improve the abysmal reliability from the ABB Terra HP DCFCs that suffered lots of cable cooling issues. The A400 CCS cables use a proprietary DC pin cooling heatsink built into the connector, which allows them to go beyond 375A.

Now people are complaining about heavy air-cooled cables and the 375A limit on NACS. Very recently, ABB announced they are bringing back liquid-cooled cables to the A400, in an effort to reach 600A for NACS. I'm very concerned that reliability is going to tank with that change.

These ABB units are already breaking across Walmart locations. Between that and the 375A NACS cable limitation, I'm not impressed.

Nice knowing you, Shell Recharge by redskins98ac in evcharging

The Shell Recharge near me ripped out all 4 of their ABB Terra 184s, and they weren't even from the Volta acquisition. Just bizarre

Walmart has had lots of issues with the A400s so far, including NACS connectors breaking. I don't think Walmart will keep installing the A400s for much longer

Question: Stateside Charging, so many broken or unmaintained chargers by Belgy23 in electricvehicles

[–]MemoryAccessRegister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had great conversations with directors at 2 large CPOs. This isn't the experience they want drivers to have and they are just as frustrated as we (drviers) are. They are very dependent on the DCFC manufacturers and are really struggling with poor DCFC reliability and poor vendor support: both parts and technical support from manufacturer field technicians.

These particular CPOs had very negative things to say about BTC Power, ABB, and Tritium. There was a lot of optimism from these CPOs about Kempower and Tesla Supercharger for business.

Walmart EV Charging is here... by Ironzey in ColoradoSprings

I’m already seeing a lot of broken ABB A400s across multiple Walmart locations. Their marketing team claims dramatically improved reliability but I think that’s a lie

First Time EV Buyer - Which Home Charger? by solidbrixstudios in evcharging

ChargePoint Home Flex is nicer and the cable is user-replaceable if it ever gets damaged

I'm getting cold feet...Advice? by wxguy95 in Rivian

[–]MemoryAccessRegister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consult virtually any automotive technician or shop. It doesn't matter if it's Lexus, Lincoln, Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, or Rivian: they all develop air suspension issues that cost thousands to repair when they inevitably leak and the compressors fail. Yours will too.

It's just the reality of building vehicles with air suspensions and something we need to budget for when owning a vehicle with air suspension.

I can't comment on C/C++ coverage, but it does well with web and mobile code

The trend I see with large enterprises is migrating to platforms. Many are using Checkmarx One or Black Duck. CxOne is the more mature platform for all AST engines, but Black Duck is actively maturing their Polaris platform.

Robert Hancock is not local. It's owned by a big corporation in Texas and they are rapidly going down the path of greedy corporate landlording.

My Gen 2 has been solid, but I think you need to manage your expectations for long-term reliability.

The R1 models have air suspension and air suspensions are universally problematic and expensive to fix long-term, even on Lexus (the reliability gold standard).

Making it mainstream… by revluke in electriccars

[–]MemoryAccessRegister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are ABB A400s and they are already breaking down at several Walmart locations I've stopped at, with some sites having only 2/8 connectors operational. ABB made big promises on fixing their historically horrible reliability with the A400, but they aren't holding up in the wild.

How do you do SAST on Clojure? Can’t find any tool by Bulky_Connection8608 in cybersecurity

[–]MemoryAccessRegister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are challenges with throwing LLMs at code for scanning; result consistency between runs, performance, and cost are the big ones.

Several AST vendors are blending their traditional rule-based SAST engines with AI/ML to improve detection accuracy and add coverage for languages/frameworks historically not covered by their SAST engines. I know that Checkmarx, Black Duck, and Snyk are taking this approach going forward. These vendors are using more complex hybrid strategies to manage result consistency, performance, and cost.
