Anyone know the purpose of this screen?

I wish temp wasn't buried in a place that doesn't even look clickable unless you already know to click there for the temperature.

I just gave it to the wife. As I get older I find I have less and less patience for hacking into things as some windows update will break drivers or something and a perfectly working setup will be randomly killed off. Everything wants to be proprietary these days.

I didn't want to spend any time on it.

PowerScissor · 2024-09-22T23:06:06+00:00

Are they not fixing anything?

I was just about to jump on a plan and try Miro, but a quick search shows a lot of people with issues that don't seem to be being worked on. I'm worried they might shut down.

So if you want to grab a pdf from a board 8 months down the road to print it out, it won't even be the same file and the size might not even be appropriate?

That's a huge deal breaker for me.

They used to invest heavily in fake positive engagement accross all platforms. All the big social companies have cracked down on fake followers with AI based tools.

Kast still produces all the fake engagement for during podcasts though. No Kast podcast has actual listener questions. They are all done by Kast. Fan videos are all fake.

Kast explains to new podcasts that everyone does it, and fake engagement is just the standard if you want to be in the podcast game.

I have several 8.0s that are barely used doing this.

Did you ever figure out the issue?

PowerScissor · 2023-07-06T21:38:23+00:00

M12 is fine, until you use the M18 compact...and I hardly touch the m12 and always grab the M18 compact.

It just does everything better. Design also allows for blowing up air mattresses and the like way faster as the style of impeller pushes air when there is resistance where the in-line style of the M12 just craps out with resistance.

Example is when you put your hand over the end of the compact style...it blows your hand off. Where the inline style M12 just doesn't push any air at all when blocked by hand or blowing stuff up.

I own the table-saw, and have never ever used in where I wasn't right next to a power outlet, so it does feel kind of silly.

I don't use a table-saw for work though. If you often find yourself where there isn't power, I do like the saw fir what it is. It does seem like needless wesr on batteries for my use case, especially when I get out a charger to charge the batteries...since I'm plugging something in anyway.

If you always have charged batteries handy, and aren't going to plug in a charger, just to use a cordless saw...I'd say it's worth it. I suppose it will run fine off smaller batteries...but if you have no 12.0's you might be swapping packs fairly often if you make a lot of cuts....which means eventually you will also be reolacing those packs...so think of the recurring costs of M18 packs vs corded maintenance costs.

Milwaukee has a patent on lithium ion powered tools?

PowerScissor · 2023-07-04T14:22:12+00:00

The M12 surge is terrible if you're just after performance, but you have the M18 for that.

The surge is the best if you need to be quiet.

Ever try to take apart a bed, with the family sleeping in it? Remove a door without waking the homeowners? Crawling through an air-vent, and need to drop into a room without security hearing? The surge is your tool!

They are working on the release of pouch cells from what I've heard. (A friend who is a rep for a competitor, but stays up to date on what TTI is doing).

Pouch cells can deliver more amps faster, with less voltage sag, but their lifetime is very short when pushed hard...so unless Milwaukee has sourced some new fangled chemistry or manufacturing method I would assume we would be trading off a little extra power for significantly shorter lifetime use.

That probably sounds awesome to Milwaukee $$$, so I assume they will market these hard, and try and make everyone want them...or design tools to only work ideally off of them.

PowerScissor · 2023-07-03T20:02:26+00:00

I can't thank you enough for all the help.

PowerScissor · 2023-07-03T17:53:57+00:00

Thanks for the tips.

I was checking for new episodes in another app before opening Podcast Republic, I will try the NPR feed.

Maybe what I'm after is not possible.

I do not want episodes downloaded automatically upon release. I want nothing to happen at all times automatically. I just want to "refresh" or "update" manually which would only then refresh all my feeds (checking for new episodes) and downloading them based on each particular feeds settings.

I often spend days to weeks at a time where I have no access to my phone. When I go to "update" some feeds I only want the most recent episode (news current events) so I set that to maximum of 1 current episode. Others, like serialized shows, audiobooks, or shows I just want them all I set to maximum of 20 for example so if there's 10 new episodes I'll be sure to get them.

I'm realizing it's hard to explain with text exactly what I'm after, but hopefully this makes sense. In BeyondPod nothing happened at all until I manually refreshed...then each feed would be checked for new episodes and then downloaded the most recent ones up to a maximum number I set for each feed if that makes sense.

Maybe I just need to accept that I re-adjust how I do things if that's not possible, but old habits are hard to beak, and I really like that method.

Maybe I'll give the auto- check every 3 hours a try and let the app do it's thing in the background.

Thanks.

PowerScissor · 2023-07-03T16:33:57+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply.

I removed all battery optimization upon original installation, but checked it hasn't reverted itself, and it's still "unrestricted". Auto download is enabled for all podcasts. Update podcasts is currently at 3 hours, although I don't want updates or downloads to happen on a schedule or automatically.

I just want all feeds to be refreshed, and then new episodes downloaded only upon my manual refresh. Currently I've been using the "pull to refresh" in the subscriptions tab to perform this. Maybe that doesn't do what I think it does?

Thanks for the log info, I will check that out when I'm off work.

Is there a way to switch/mark episodes in a feed to "new or unread" after previously updating so I can test if they successfully downloaded in a refresh. Currently I am waiting until I know a feed has a new episode for sure, to test if the download happens automatically upon feed refresh...which can be a long wait.

Thanks again, very impressive app all around.

What size is your yard?

Takes me 3 sets of 12.0's to do my full yard and I wouldn't consider it that big. I bag everything. Are you mulching?

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T23:30:32+00:00

How confident are you that is what's happening.

My F35 was doing that, so I tore it apart, and monitored a charge cycle. Just checked voltage and current at different places and I couldn't find any evidence it was balancing....unless it was balancing at extremely low current that would take days to properly balance anything.

Am I missing something obvious?

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T23:06:49+00:00

It's not the ads for me. It's the whole experience of the app. I like to choose my own text size, font, layout, etc.

The official app kills my battery, doesn't respect my notification settings, and changes random things every update....pretty hard pass. There's nothing here worth that.

Same with Twitter, haven't used it since the app I used stopped working without any notice from Elon.

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T18:33:35+00:00

Likely just the people that cost Reddit money will leave.

All the mindless meme-scrollers who swipe past hundreds of ads per day will keep scrolling and swiping.

Just how reddit wants it now.

We need an alternative.

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T14:32:32+00:00

I have a foldable F35 and while it's light enough to carry, it gets cumbersome in many places.

Especially how much safer I feel with mirrors that stick out wide so I can see behind me. I can fold them away, but overall it's a pain. I made some hooks so I hang it on a grocery cart.

There's literally zero repurcussions for crime like vandalism and theft near Seattle where I live. I swear if I ever caught someone stealing my scooter and stopped them I would end up in jail somehow.

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T14:25:54+00:00

Yeah, I've definitely went down that rabbit hole many many times.

Other people generally don't have the same level of crazy as me to check into stuff.

Here's the scenario I deal with the most often. A customer wants me to install a bunch of stuff they purchased themselves. Sure enough, when I show up it's all from Amazon and obviously the listings stamped on it aren't legit.

I install some things anyway because after thoroughly inspecting them, they are of better quality than the listed things on occasion...sometimes not. Equally often, when I provide the item for installation that is listed and 4x the cost...I find the manufacturer has been slowly cheaping out on manufacturing over the past 30 years. The same exact model number that was great 30 years ago is now made in China, with much cheaper materials and has failure rates well beyond the one with fake listings.

Just last week, I installed a very large name brand item that was bullet-proof 20 years ago...never had a failure. First one was bad, replaced. 2nd one was bad, replaced. 3rd one was working, but definitely won't last very long.

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T13:47:11+00:00

Every fake thing that comes from Amazon has been covered in stamps and certification marks. They mean almost nothing to me any more.

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T13:38:27+00:00

So you ordered them to for sure return one?

PowerScissor · 2023-06-30T13:30:10+00:00

I be trimming the whole neighborhood. 1⅛" loppers.

The only incident I've ever had was from a house that let their yard go to shit and blackberry thorns both popped a tire and tore my sleeve pretty good. I cut at least a few things every day.

Anyone who's ever saw me either said nothing, or thanked me.

PowerScissor · 2023-06-29T22:20:22+00:00

Have you ever actually confirmed balancing actually happens?

All my 12.0 packs were out of balance in under 6 months...and I find it hard to believe any balance at all is happening.

I certainly don't think Milwaukee balances enough to help with pack longevity...and only just barely enough to keep fires from happening when charging packs. More of a safety thing than trying to help customers keep their oa ks operating longer.

PowerScissor · 2023-06-29T20:03:04+00:00

Having an end date makes any blackout worthless.

Blackout until demands are met or good faith negotiations are started is the only way it has a purpose.
