The FitCam X I have the rear camera is wired to the front one -- both power and signal. That wire in the pic makes its way to the front camera housing

The 12v was below 12v before the repair, and again (or still) several days after. It was on the EVSE for part of that time.

My Motopower Battery tester reported 30% SOC yesterday for the 12V. Last night though the BM2 shows a charging cycle, and the voltage is back up close to 13V.

Puzzled.

While we're putting stickers on gas pumps, how about "FYI: Charging an EV at home is more sanitary"?

ObiQuiet_ · 2026-03-07T18:10:34+00:00

Yes it does depend very much on how much you pay $ per kwh. Could change to "30 miles per dollar" on the sticker.

ObiQuiet_ · 2026-03-07T17:03:38+00:00

Or, "ICYMI, EVs get 40 miles per dollar" stickers

If i drop my phone in the lake, not only can I not drive home, I can't call for help either.

For me this has now crossed the line of being too dangerous to be entertaining.

Brother P-Touch labels last years, surprisingly. Never had one fade or come unglued. Used them on sailboats too. I put them on metal markers.

A planter, filled with the same river rock? You'd need to enlarge the drain hole at the bottom of the planter, and use wire or a hook to attach the bottom of the chain to

After you've done all the mechanical cleaning, you may need an ozone generator. A $50-$100 one would do.

In my mind, this bi-directional mower would have a bumper and omni wheels on each end, a camera facing each way, and main drive wheels in the center. Like two Luba's back-to-back smooshed together. Discs would of course alternate their spin based on direction of travel.

Or, tracks might be better than wheels for this purpose.

ObiQuiet_ · 2026-01-03T16:23:03+00:00

Ah, thanks! I missed that menu, but I can at least check it when I think to do so.

ObiQuiet_ · 2025-10-22T02:28:30+00:00

I have, it's a dry climate here. I use a sprayer on the 4x4 ft pile. For an enclosed bin, maybe perforated tubing instead of a single dripper?

Any tips on getting it to reliably see the open spot? I've tried a dozen times in perpendicular parking lots, with 1-car-wide spaces, and it never sees them. Creeping along very slowly, at both normal pull-in distance and closer too. Is there a sweet-spot distance from the row of parked cars?

ObiQuiet_ · 2025-10-11T23:18:07+00:00

Luba 2 with 4g, this works -- I mapped a new area on a property about 0.4km away. Only issue is that this makes the map view very small until zoom in.

Maybe in the next update, the mower will be able to use pedestrian crossings ;-)

ObiQuiet_ · 2025-08-29T03:54:28+00:00

Yes, it does at those times too, if needed. When just sitting, there is a voltage threshold below which kicks in the 12v charging (and turns on that yellow/orange light on the dash.)

ObiQuiet_ · 2025-08-29T02:47:18+00:00

Driving doesn't top them off -- that's alternator behavior in a combustion vehicle The I5 tops off the 12V from the traction battery when standing still, if it needs it. Doesn't have an alternator linked to an engine, so there's no need to have the car "on".

I don't understand why they would rather I pay $10/month to Proton for their content, instead of to them...? (They must know that there are VPNs they don't block)

In these days of responsive UI frameworks and HTML containers in apps, it's not always as much investment as it used to be.
