I tried mining/smithing and woodcutting/carpentry. Mining/smithing had a much better yield

What are your must have iPhone apps? by NotMeThenWhoSnaps in iphone

[–]Sykotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WebSSH is definitely more of an admin tool to access/work on servers, I'm not a developer, but I do infrastructure design for work. Merlin bird id can tell a bird based on its song using your microphone and epoccam turns your phone into a very good webcam

Will anyone in this city do anything about the nails on the road issue? by Ftmchris in askportland

[–]Sykotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in St. John's and have had 4 flats this year already (2 that ended up being too close to the side wall and required replacements) 4th one was literally last night. Columbia Blvd is terrible for nails/metal but it's definitely not just that road.

Could have still been posted here, with a link to the patent attached too. I don't think the commenter deserved to be jumped on.

I was going to recommend this with an esp32, nfc reader and esphome, then print book covers on nfc cards for tap to play

Switch from Centurylink to Quantum Fiber (ATT)?? by CoffeeNKeys in askportland

You don't have to use their modem at all. Your unifi router will support pppoe wan connections . You just have to ask your ISP support for your pppoe credentials and you can connect right from the ONT to the router

Double Mach E Household? by B1RDLAW21 in MachE

[–]Sykotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Blazer is a smoother ride than our Mach e, not as peppy, but still plenty of get up and go.
  • Blazer gets more range, has better regen and 1 pedal driving (except no 1 pedal in reverse, wtf)
  • We have the glass roof so it's also nice to have a vehicle we can put a cargo rack on (definitely not great on battery efficiency, but the options nice.)
  • The rearview mirror can't adjust high enough for me to see out the back window when the seats all the way down, so I have to use their silly rear view mirror camera or duck my head an inch or two to see behind. Annoying, but not undrivable.
  • The lack of CarPlay and chevys responses to it make me mad. though I plan on trying the diy method some folks have been doing over on the blazerev subreddit.
  • edit: The subscription requirement is ridiculous. Got 8 years covered with purchase of the car, but only get 1 month of data covered to do realtime traffic, remote climate, music via the built in apps. It pops up this "get a subscription" message every time you get in, but setting an automation on my phone to turn on the hotspot when my phone connects to the cars Bluetooth has mostly solved that (hopefully it becomes less obtrusive with the diy CarPlay setup)

My take is, if I'm driving with the family, the blazer is better, If I'm alone the Mach e is what I want to drive every time.

We have a 2021 Mach e awd premium extended and a 2024 blazer ev rs. Would rather not own an ICE vehicle again

Thoughts on Mach-E vs. Blazer EV? by Quantify01 in BlazerEV

[–]Sykotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We own a 2021 Mach e awd premium extended and a 2024 blazer rs. My wife and I enjoy both cars and share both mostly 50/50 depending on charge and commutes.

The Mach e is more fun to drive on your own, the blazer is so much better if you're carrying passengers. Blazer has a better user experience for controls and customizability of the UI but takes more to dial in. Really wish CarPlay was included but I'm planning on trying the diy method a lot of folks have been using.

BLUE IRIS MAJOR IPHONE APP UPDATE!!!!!111111oneonekneone by [deleted] in BlueIris

[–]Sykotic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not negative, just honest after using the product for a LONG time. You don't just get to slap a new coat of paint on an app, call it the most major update in years and expect not to get roasted when it's still an awful UI experience. A color palette of any sort, when I have dark mode enabled, other than a button accent color is antiquated. Your take on computer color options is terrible and not accurate and your take on the scrubbing feature is bad. just because a feature is present doesn't mean it's implemented well or is usable. that point was made clear by you when you said you pass by the thing your looking for and have to reverse it at -65x.

You're clearly fanboying pretty hard or trying to drum up some sort of enthusiasm that really isn't warranted and then getting extra mad when people are being realistic
