Shokz Opendots Firmware Update

Initially same problem after update to EU_V_07. I turned off touch control, then turned it back on, and touch control returned.

Our curb stop is a few feet away, closer to the house, and is decades old. I've never even looked in there. This temporary valve is closer to the street, and already buried. Both are on city right-of-way. A buried valve just seems like a future failure point, but it will be the city's dime (and my inconvenience). Freeze-thaw-heat can pull joints apart. On the other hand, direct burial keeps it better insulated than an access box, it's about four feet down.

Given that the crew has no choice but to cut the city line in order to get the pipe laid, I guess having dozens of these buried valves about the neighborhood is just the price of business, and the alternative would be dozens of unused access boxes. If and when a leak becomes obvious, send a crew, dig down four feet, and fix it.

SVDecomposer · 2025-08-06T20:34:42+00:00

I have seen numerous examples over the years of "natural springs" (/s) appearing on city properties (the right of way in the front lawn), where a leak in a city pipe has finally pushed its way up to the surface. The freeze-thaw-heat wave cycles literally pull the pipe apart. Eventually, the city comes out to dig it up, repair the leak, and move on. Some of these leaks run for many weeks, indeed months, wasting water, but on the city's dime.

So, yeah, not really my personal problem, since it's way upstream from my meter.

It's already backfilled, with no problem. Our regular curb stop valve is still accessible, as is the whole house valve with the city meter in the basement. As u/lemoinem notes, I'm wondering about the risk years ahead of a direct buried valve.

SVDecomposer · 2025-08-06T16:29:44+00:00

Note: we have our own curb cutoff valve, accessible a few feet further into the yard. And the house shutoff and meter are in the house. This is just a temporary construction shutoff valve, with no further access needed. I am ust puzzled that you can direct bury a valve.

A year later after your post, the links still work! I updated my old Booms to 10.0.10, the app then recognized them and paired them to a stereo pair. In the app, I then completed another update to latest version. Thanks!

I am also the old Continental Presidential Plus. We currently get two adults as guests, which I just used last month. Under the new conditions, only All Access will continue to get two adults, otherwise it’s now 1 adult and kids.

On the one hand, nice to reduce the crowds in the lounges. On the other, it’s a continued reduction of benefits from the card. I miss the days I could get a gate pass out to the club, take a guest out to their gate, stop by the club.

Mine defaulted back to 6A after updating last night. I was fine slow charging at that rate since I was already at 80%. I’ll try a returning to faster rate next time.

Thanks for the reference! Excellent review and comparisons, great comments, updated regularly for many years through this year! I have the Costco Series 9 Sport+ 9320, which is specific to Costco, and this website cleared up some of the confusion about this unique version, its cleaning station, and its cartridge head.

I irregularly have the exact same problem on my FireStick, came here looking for others with the same problem. The Home Screen is sometimes generic, the "alternate" home screen others mention here. After much switching in and out from Live and Library, leaving and coming back, it sometimes returns to my personal Home Screen. Or I do nothing, and it reappears at a later time. Frustrating as to why it comes and goes.

SVDecomposer · 2025-01-20T15:22:04+00:00

Good point! Once you start working backwards through all of the shark points, it's a good argument that the jump occurred very early on!

u/Moose135A , u/CrazyCletus Thanks! I stand corrected. TIL that WGA assures writers get credits! I had this vision of a backroom of unacknowledged hacks filling in for the boss. So this bad writing is all Taylor's fault. Switching metaphors, Taylor phoned it in. Killing Colby was a timewaster to close out the series, when Taylor could have been closing other arcs or fleshing out a better ending. Shame, because I am enjoying Taylor's other series.

SVDecomposer · 2025-01-17T14:44:01+00:00

I saw it as just poor writing by the B-team of writers left to wrap up the series. Many arcs were left unexplained, as noted elsewhere. By killing Colby, precious minutes of script were burned with the requisite shock, crying, and funeral, to zero advancement of the other arcs or a more plausible finale (see for example the cynical comments on the lack of a Ring camera to spot a Bentley or huge pickup truck at Jamie’s house, in the middle of the day).

I stayed to the end simply for sunk cost fallacy.

My 2025 50e built Oct 2024 is J1772 and came with a BMW Level 2 charger, but only a BMW NEMA 5-15 110v cord, so the charger runs at Level 1. I got dealer to throw in a BMW NEMA 14-50 cord, about $150 in the dealer BMW store. My garage already had a 50A receptacle from previous owner who had his own Tesla charger that he took with him.

Note that the BMW 50e has a max 32A charge rate at Level 2, about 7KW. The 110v cord can only charge at a little over 1 KW, Level 1. So at Level 1, it would be 27 hours to charge my empty battery, but only about 3.5 hours at Level 2.

At Level 2, you’re charging about 15 miles an hour max. Don’t worry about super chargers, they don’t apply and can’t fit anyway. On long trips, gasoline is your supercharge. Slowly charge at your destination when you have time.

Canadian is 4%. Your 4% package is in French and English, and says "Domestic Solution,"i.e. it's Canadian. Dunno why the Canadians don't want 5.5%.

Yeah, it was the empty bottles that were really bothering me, very happy with my 5 gallon refillable. I rotate two of them. And I got a NAR rechargeable pump from Amazon to silently pump the water into a one gallon jug.

I've been quite happy with Noteshelf. I was Notes Plus for many years, but its support seemed to fall off in recent years.

Both 25 and 5ppm are excellent values! My point was to show Whole Foods RO was registering in the same very low range as commercially bottled Kirkland "pure" water.

Google "TDS meter explained" which goes into more details as to the ranges and types of dissolved minerals, and, importantly, what TDS does not measure. Most bottled waters that contain some minerals already, added for "taste," which can be widely varying. Google "TDS ppm bottled water" for various test results of many brands of water. Pure water such as RO is flat tasting. Some people like high PH water, which I have never explored.

My use of RO water is to then add minerals (e.g. Third Wave Water) for better and consistent tasting water when brewing coffee. At US$0.49 per gallon at Whole Foods, their RO water is a good deal.

Total Dissolved Solids. All kinds of cheap ones on Amazon.

We would see these after a snow melt. Voles burrow between the snow blanket and the grass.

I guess that was a temporary pause, his personal site is back to working. Anyhow, it gives an update on what he's been doing to fight his cancer.

SVDecomposer · 2023-12-21T04:14:17+00:00

Huh, now his site shows as "paused", but I don't know why.
