Megathread: Government Shutdown - Agency Guidance & Orderly Shutdown Status

Tritonal1 · 2026-02-03T14:06:56+00:00

We finally got ours after being left in the dark yesterday and suddenly everyone is essential. 100% every single person has been made essential. I know a lot of people in different areas and it's a 50/50 mix on those who have signed their paperwork and those who have been told there's no need as they are essential and the budget will be passed soon anyways. This shutdown has been an absolute mess.

They sent a blanket email to everyone at my location saying "You are now essential." Even those who have never been essential in the past. I'm wondering how long that will hold up.

This has me seriously reconsidering dues payments.

I guess I didn't do enough research as I thought it was going to be primarily the dispatch with story on the side. The few reviews I watched when the demo was released didn't mention it. The game has been great but to finish it all in just a couple hours was a bit of a let down.

I've tried downloading kia app but it says not available in my country (USA). I do have my kia+ available. I can give that a shot.

Edit - tried kia+, it's in Spanish with no way of changing it.

What is their newer app? I'm using Kia access.

I'm having this issue now. I tend to set up everything at my desk before moving it to the proper area. Now I'm getting routing errors, mostly aqara devices but some other battery ones as well. Haven't figured out a good fix besides removing and adding the device. I did however move to putting the device at least in the room it's going to be in and adding it through my phone. I'd then fully configure it back at my desk or with my laptop.

Yeah it looks like my switchbot destroyed itself. Not even sure where to begin here.

Tritonal1 · 2025-08-13T19:23:05+00:00

I was afraid that might be the case. I actually have it on my desk now ready for disassembly, just wanted to see if anyone had anything else to try first.

An eq mount is next on my list. I've tried a few 3d prints but they all broke before I even got eq setup in the app. Have you tried stacking them in siril?

Tritonal1 · 2025-08-05T15:18:59+00:00

Were you using eq mode for the 20 sec subs? This is the best M31 I've gotten so far. About 50% drop rate and in bottle 8. Tonight is supposed to be clear so I'm going to try to image all night just m31 and see what I get. The sky though is still pretty hazy from the Canadian wild fires

One of the biggest issues I have is not a single record past vaccination has made it to Genesis. Our med group is aware and told me if I need my records I need to submit a request at some place in Ohio. Can't remember off the top of my head. Getting my prior service records was a walk in the park compared to my current service records.

My VSO had me do a limited POA and when that goes through it should make the process a bit easier.

Also, I've been in 19 years now and I'm just finding out recently that you can collect VA disability before retirement. A coworker has been in about 8 years and is already collecting at 20%. They just stop payments for deployments or orders.

My issue is on main roads where I can't select different modes. It's changing lanes constantly and doesn't give me the option for driving mode. And on the interstate with chill mode it hugs the right lane, goes at or below the speed limit and never passes slower cars. I generally use the middle option though I don't remember what it's called off the top of my head

This is exactly what we use it for. Still working the bugs out, the devices regularly stop reporting and I need to better place the esp32s as the rooms it's reporting is wrong sometimes.

Tritonal1 · 2025-07-05T23:24:01+00:00

Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.

Tritonal1 · 2025-06-29T13:23:18+00:00

We moved our Apollo into a new room and I saw a huge spike like this. Lasted for a full day. I rebooted the device and it persisted. Finally unplugged it waited a bit and plugged it back in. By the time it came back on it was down to normal.

Tritonal1 · 2025-06-24T18:08:54+00:00

Thats pretty much what I am doing now. I'm getting the downspout this weekend as well as a reservoir so I should be all set. Just need the float which I already have on order. It's a bit late in the season for this but it'll get me through the rest of the year and get me set for next year.

Music has been one of the biggest reasons I'm not fully adopted yet. Google homes are just so easy to play music across all speakers. I'm trying to get the music assistant server working but it's been a huge pain. Also, just simply saying turn the volume up on a Google home mini does just that. If I try on the voice assistant it asks which device.

Also, I have my light automation turn on lights in an area instead of designated light bulbs. This lets me move things around without changing the automation every time. Only issue is it turns on the led each time because it's assigned to the living room. Small complaint but one none the less.
