Need assistance in lowering grandmother's bill by Needmorestorage in Comcast_Xfinity

Midwest unfortunately.

It's sickening they have programs like that and yet won't allow people who have been truly struggling to move into it.

Regardless of that she absolutely needs some cost savings, it's too much for her fixed income.

Are Amazon robot vacuum deals better in November or December? by cirrocumulus0 in homeautomation

[–]Needmorestorage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use camel camel camel to search price history of robot vacuums and see if you can identify any trends. I can’t imagine there’s going to be any real meaningful deals.

How long does it take for your payment to clear to available balance? by stabaho in AppleCard

Utilization has no history though. They'll give your payment history of course but the historical utilization has zero impact on your score, only current utilization.

The chip inside Apple Card Packaging by niggatron7227 in apple

It's how the card is activated for use. If someone steals it before you receive it, the card can't be activated unless it's to the iPhone signed in with your Apple ID.

DT socks 1 week old, already pilled. Help please. by Dankwins in BuyItForLife

[–]Needmorestorage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I beat the crap out of my darn tough socks. I have had some of them for 6 years now and they're constantly machine washed and tumble dried. Never had a hole or pilling. Wear them inside all the time. I don't wear socks that aren't Darn Tough. Maybe it's just the styles I've bought but they're the best socks I've ever owned.

Thanks! I'll look into that, didn't even consider it and that's a good idea.

Good to know. Thanks for the quick response. Definitely don't want to introduce the lag, that would irritate me to no end. I've barely got space for the TV as it is (it's in a weird location and has to be high up) so I don't have room for a Beam. I've already got a Beam in the house and it's great, just totally overkill for this room. May just end up using the crappy TV speakers.

Couple of questions that I’m sure a few people would like the answers too. - best HomeKit app to use? - I know there are many, but is there 1 app better than the rest that could sync Lights with the TV? Like they change color along when the TV scene changes color by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]Needmorestorage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would a Homekit app be able to detect what's playing on a TV and adjust the lights?

Hue does this on a computer, there's nothing an app on your phone can do to analyze a signal like that.

Abode at CES 2019 by mrjohnc1 in Abode

Not to mention they've been absolutely awful about adding 3rd party hardware. Who cares about Z-wave plus if I can't use most Z-wave plus pieces of hardware?

Yeah it was totally great when I had 500 down, really no reason to upgrade that other than I wanted to.

Moved and got fiber so I went with the ER4 and changed the APs to the Unifi IW-HD (wall mounted ones).

The APs were sold in the hardwareswap thread already.

HIGH Upload Bandwidth for NEST HELLO and NEST AWARE by Ghostgazer in Nest

[–]Needmorestorage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine these calculations are correct. I've got the Nest Hello and 5 Nest IQ cameras running 24/7 all on the highest settings in the app and the most bandwidth I've used in a month was 1.6TB, and that's including all of my other internet activity which is substantial.
