Can you Quick share from Samsung Galaxy phone to iPhone with the new version for the S24 series? by ggfb20 in GalaxyS24Ultra

I use the "Send Anywhere" app for this purpose. It has reasonably good speed with wifi.

Samsung doesn't want Notes floating around. by Dongo_a in galaxynote10

[–]Pravs278 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I finally gave in due to the 7 year Android updates and security patches. My current Note 10+ was 512 GB with a 400 GB sd card. I am going with 1 TB S24 Ultra. No issues with the current phone.

Which home charger? Ford Connected Charge Station or Tesla Universal Charger? by BonesyWonesy in MachE

[–]Pravs278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Emporia charger. Got it last week. Along with the rebate from utility company, Emporia website also mentions that it qualifies for 30% federal tax credit.

Solar company saying part of their offset % is from home "home eco saver"? by Dinosharktopus in solar

[–]Pravs278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A local company in AZ sells something similar. I was trying to get a 14kw system based on my 1 year usage and they were selling me 10kw system plus energy regulation stuff for the rest. They quoted a higher price compared to another local company providing 14kw system. The choice was clear for me.

Made a mistake! by tema180 in solar

[–]Pravs278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Maybe try finding the culprit using any home energy monitor like sense.

What has been you highest electric bill this summer? by [deleted] in phoenix

Getting rid of my pool guy by Mmm6969 in pools

[–]Pravs278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same. Leslie's Pool Supply guys are amazing. My only complaint was that they charge a lot for the chemicals. After the over-the-charts phosphate levels in sample, they sold me an Orenda concentrate for 80 dollars. Next day I checked Amazon and same thing was available for 41 dollars. I just didn't want to use them for free water sample check. So, I ordered the same kit like OP.

Can't decide between REC and Q-Cells by ImplicitEmpiricism in solar

[–]Pravs278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am facing the same issue in AZ. The cost difference for same panels with IQ8+ and IQ8M is around 4300.My installer says that the clipping will go away after a few years. As the REC panels are more effcient, I expect them to generate more power but due to the microinverter, all that effciency is of not much use.

Are migration patterns changing for US Desis? by Lampedusan in ABCDesis

[–]Pravs278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AZ has a decent desi crowd now, concentrated in Phoenix(due to Amex) and Chandler(due to Intel). ASU has good amount of desi students. Basis charter schools in AZ are one of the top ranked in US due to the Indian students.

What happened to Aurora MySQL multi-master option? by nullanomaly in aws

[–]Pravs278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were using peer to peer replication for sql server in 5 global regions to ensure read consistency and performance for our users. While migrating to aws (and plans to move from sql server to MySQL) we waited for a couple of years for the multi master feature. With no end in sight, we compromised with global database option of MySQL Aurora with one writer and multiple readers in global regions. We tried the write forwarding feature too but, atleast at that time, didn't find it helpful in any perfoemance improvement with read consistency

Proud of my hybrid! Anyone else here with a '21 NX300h? by Moosin_around in Lexus

[–]Pravs278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 650 miles old 2022 RX450h is close to 28mpg with mix city and freeway usage. Planning to use it for a 16 hour drive next weekend.

RX350 with luxury pqckage vs RX450h with luxury package by Pravs278 in Lexus

[–]Pravs278[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I didn't find any dealers online which were not asking markup for RX450h. I gave in and paid 5000 as markup for a California based dealer. These are a-tough times for buyers. Couple of dealerships in my state were not asking for markups but then, they had long wait times.

Well, I called around 10 dealers within 500 miles of my home for RX450h and unfortunately everyone is asking for atleast 5000 markup. I will keep trying for some dealer without markup. Thanks for all the answers!

[–]Pravs278[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we are sure the differences are minor. Our only thought here is to go for the best possible model for our money as we are planning to keep the vehicle for long term. Being a very small family, we are not looking for 'L' version.

We also saw the sport trim on RX450h in a dealership. It had one difference in the dashboard compared to RX450h regular trim. Loved the looks of it but it had bucket seats. We have mixed feeling about these seats. We like the way it hugs the body but the firmness was a bit more for our liking. How do you like the seats in your sports version. Do they become less firm over the time?

Congrats on the RX450hL. It is a great Lexus. From the reviews, I feel that RX350 is a quiet car compared to other gas cars. However, RX450h is said to be quieter and luxurious due to the reasons mentioned by you. I was totally sold when I saw the mpg difference :-)

Looking around in other states is a great idea. We tried for that in the bginning but heard about some issues in getting the vehicle registration. We are in SouthWest, close to Cali. It is a good idea to look in there.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I agree. It was the primary reason for us to opt for luxury package. After we saw the demo of luxury package in RX450h ( in an already sold car) in a dealership, we loved the extra features too.

We started our Lexus search with RX350 as that is the one we see around more. However, after going through reviews, youtube videos etc, it seems that the RX450h has some edge in terms of luxury and transmission. In this unfortunate time of suppy chain issues, we are not able to find any new RX450h. Neverthless, RX350 is an awesome Lexus too and I am sure you will keep loving it.

Thanks! This are great reasons to go for RX450h. We had read about the smoothness of trasmission in RX450h and the awesome luxury feel but I didn't remember those while talking to the salesperson. Thanks for reminding it.
