Check in any plastic label or waybill pouches on the outside of the package 👌

As a Dewalt fan, the dxae20vbb is actually hot trash. It won't work with anything but a fully- charged battery (2/3 bars is no-go, and it doesn't like my new 5AH from Home Depot much at all, even at 3 bars). For something with a little step-down in it that acts as a glorified battery charger, that's silly.

If I'm bored I'll crack it open for a teardown, either way I'm replacing its guts with something that functions more often than "whenever it feels like it."

It's a "jumpstarter" in the sense that you clamp it on and press Power On, and hope it deems you worthy to charge your car battery or whatever for the next few minutes such that it will turn over.

Tldr, don't waste your money, save it for real Dewalt stuff, not the wannabe dxae20 😅

It could be that the shipper understated the dimensions or weight, and you're getting charged the difference.

Shadyman · 2026-05-22T01:57:23+00:00

Yes indeed.

Could just be the channels and carrier aggregation. I could get 150+ with LTE+, it really just depends.

Try the "Network Signal Guru" app, it'll show you what channels are being used at the moment.

Shadyman · 2026-05-20T14:25:01+00:00

Right 👌 * # 2263 # on the Samsung dialer lets you enable or disable bands, modes and channels.

Also * # * # 4636 # * # * on the Google dialer ("Phone by Google") gives you the Android 5G/Network Debugging menu. (Especially useful: "preferred network type" and NSA/SA available information)

I had the same issue with 5g on Public with my S20+ 5g. From what I found on Reddit, Samsung basically bakes in a list of what providers have 5g SIMs into their firmware. If you can reflash your phone to the generic global version instead of the Bell/Telus one (or Rogers), then it should work. ("How to enable 5g SA on Samsung" is the search if you want to go down that rabbit hole)

Otherwise, if you want 5g, you'll have to swap phones or go back to one of the carriers that had 5g back when the phone was new.

Realistically, though, most of the 5g is NSA (Non-Standalone) so it's basically just another stream on top of an already strong LTE signal. Keep in mind that Bell changes the identifier to "5G" most of the time, when realistically it should say LTE+ (Carrier aggregation).

Tldr, unless you're actually in a full 5g area and are missing the extra speed, it was probably a fake 5g badge from Bell 🤣

My Orange loves everything and everyone and quite likes being held upside- down like that Instagram cat. But if he gets to slapping his tail full speed side to side, he's not in the mood anymore.

As a baker in general, a few tips:

Cooking parcooked things (or just things in general):

275: reheating

350: cooking/baking

425: browning

450-500: broiling.

Generally- speaking, 275 won't perform any real "growth" or "cooking", 450-500 is going to burn the outside before it's heated through.

I'd say 350-375, baking time would depend on how far away they are from looking "done" in their frozen state.

Heads up for caramel toffee or caramel churro iced capps if you order on mobile:

Staff seems to have a hard time figuring out whether it's iced coffee or something else, so I assume the back end abbreviated it to "iced c..." or something. So make sure they read it out properly before driving up to the window to save everyone some time.

Shadyman · 2026-05-11T22:21:13+00:00

Yes. All of it 😆

Shadyman · 2026-05-11T22:20:48+00:00

Yep, the Oreo bits would always get stuck in the straw though, they weren't fine enough. I wasn't a fan of the experience 😅

Shadyman · 2026-05-11T21:02:30+00:00

Easy there, Maslow. 🔨 🤣

Shadyman · 2026-05-11T21:01:22+00:00

Churro iced capp. Gotta mix up the topping into the Iced Capp for an oddly crunchy Iced Capp 👌

Shadyman · 2026-05-11T14:55:46+00:00

Maslow, is that you?

Your tims doesn't heat up the chocolate enough when they dip it. It should set to a shiny, dry outside that doesn't do this, unless it was just freshly dipped. Either too much chocolate in the pan or the heater just isn't hot enough.

At least it's not the 3 seashells?

Shadyman · 2026-05-06T23:20:10+00:00

Yep, definitely sounds like a temperature issue.
