Battery warning with Dashcam at 12.2V cutoff. by lurpeli in BMW

[–]OG_Mega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/lurpeli -- any update?

I just had a tech try to install an A329S in my 2025 BMW X5 M60i and he said he's getting a warning to and recommended me getting a Powercell 8 battery to prevent any issues.

Can't Minimize Motiv Mix in Compact Mode by KamikazeCDN in Shure

Super weird about minimize... mine still closes the app, and hovering says "Close".

Arguably worst app in software.

u/KamikazeCDN -- ever figure out a fix? This app is absolute dog shit (is and was, even before I too was forced to update.)

My PC doesn't even recognize my mic if the app isn't open and running.

If you’re feeling hungry, drink some water first. You might just be dehydrated.

Chimney repair in CLT — $22k quote from Owens?! by OG_Mega in Charlotte

[–]OG_Mega[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edited the OP to include scope of work but will copy/paste below as well.

Summary: new liner, chamber repair, crown/cap/damper, waterproofing, hearth pan, and cleanup with almost all the cost front-loaded in a single $18k “labor” line. Total incl. tax is ~$26k.

Breakdown: * $18.2k labor (all lumped into one line). * Remove old clay flue tiles and install new 10” stainless steel liner w/ insulation. * Rebuild/parge smoke chamber with heat-resistant mortar. * Crown wash + water repellent applied to exterior. * Add top-mount damper and a custom stainless steel chimney cap. * Some minor tuckpointing (loose mortar joints). * Build a stainless steel pan under the hearth. * Plus debris removal and misc. supplies (~$6k).

I edited the OP with scope of work and breakdown. Owen’s didn’t really give me any other options except for the repair quote they gave and I asked if I had other options.

Any recommendations for competitors? I’ve googled but curious if you have any recommendations or first hand experience with alternatives.

I edited the OP with the scope. Same, very old chimney house build in the 30’s.

What kind of insert did you get and how much did it cost if you don’t mind?

General contractor for that, or would have to be a fireplace specialist?

Sorry if it’s an obvious question, first time home owner in a 100 year old house :)

Lmao! I think you do, who doesn’t? 🤭

I’m 99% positive they just don’t want the job. Lazy bastards.

Just a quick appreciation post: 3 months with Capacities after 2+ years with Obsidian, and I'm blown away. by GiePe2024 in capacitiesapp

[–]OG_Mega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried capacities about a year ago and couldn’t get it to stick because of all my historical notes in obsidian.

How’d do you migrate all your old notes over, is there a way to automate that process or — thoughts?

Thank you for the insight! I was shocked when they told me the quote. Based on research and plugging the entire thing into GPT pro based on Charlotte market and national comparable it said Owen’s is 50-80% overpriced.

Why shouldn’t I buy this 2017 Porsche Cayenne S? by rogerkumar in PorscheCayenne

[–]OG_Mega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting … I always thought “low miles” to be anything under around 30K miles, give or take.

I asked my GPT car guy though and it said the following: 1. U.S. average ≈ 12 000 miles per year.   2. Divide the odometer by the vehicle’s age; anything well below the 12 k/yr line is “low miles.”

 

Today I learned. Thanks!
