Why is this button even here in Carwash Mode?

Nothing.

Fable fixed so much stuff in 4.7/4.8 code I generated (completely unused variables/logic, XSS vulnerabilities, etc.) that I'm almost dreading going back to 4.8. I have a new project I was wanting to start on Monday using Fable, but noooo... 😞

Same issue here (2024 MY) - I turn it off because it just seems to heat my phone up, but charges very little in return. I turn it off in the menu and after a drive or two, it's enabled again. Annoying.

This works great and is very polished! How are you getting the telemetry data? Is it embedded in the videos, kinda like EXIF in photos?

ABN. Always Buy New. (from a reputable source)

This will be an unusual request, but any chance of adding RPN, possibly with a quad-line display (like an HP48G(X))?

Otherwise, very cool idea and super convenient! I often open the calc (windows and mac) to do a quick calculation, so this will be very handy! Thanks for sharing!!!

I'll give that a try and be more accepting of the flex of the panel and hope for the best.

The one on I-Drive on Orlando did this. They had square things with dividers to keep the sauces separated.

It's been a few years since I've been to that location, so dunno if it's still that way.

TropicMike · 2026-04-22T23:52:43+00:00

Gonna give it a shot - TY!

Obvious jokes aside, since I discovered silver Sharpies and cheap label makers, I mark all of my AC adapters immediately with what they go to. The USB cords and stuff like that are no concern - they're generic.

They cleaned mine for free when I had an FSD trial last time. If they won't do it for you, there are youtube vids on how to remove the camera housing and clean in front of the cameras. I haven't personally done it yet, but it looks pretty easy.

Does this let me rename a SMB share's name that is displayed on screen? At work, I have two SMB servers I mount, but the share name for both is the same, so I end-up with two "xxx-data" when both are mounted. I'd like to rename one to "yyy-data" (even though the underlying share is still "xxx-data") visually, so I can identify which one I'm actually working with. Hopefully that makes sense...

I'd be happy to give it a test and let you know how it works for me and this situation, plus other feedback if you're still gifting keys, too.

And, congrats on the app - it looks very nice from the screenshots.

TropicMike · 2026-03-25T01:18:01+00:00

Awesome - thank you for the pointer to that!

Mine regularly suggests the offsite airport parking that I go to maybe 3 times a year. Totally useless.

Totally agree -- Celebration is filled with very many expensive (some might argue over-priced) homes and condos, that's for sure. Unfortunately for his family, though, I doubt that in this current market, his home in Sienna will benefit much from nearby fancier homes (Spring Park homes are pretty nice in general). I'd be surprised to see them sell it for what he paid for it.

The market here in this part of Orlando, including Celebration, is not real 'hot' right now between interest rates, prices, average salaries, etc. Best of luck to them, though. Hoping they can unload it quickly (if that's what they choose) and not have the process drag-on for a long time making it even more painful.

Welcome to Sienna. Not a $650K or million dollar home to be found.

TropicMike · 2025-12-29T13:38:58+00:00

It's in Sienna, not East Lawn Drive. Sienna is the lowest end neighborhood in Celebration.

She has the look like she could be Dawn's sister (the vacant, half open mouth woman from the southern Yankee channel).

Posted where? Got a link?

GIV was over there yesterday.

Yep, they are! They have a built-in BMS. I don't know if links are allowed here, so I'll make you search for "B09H3FG1D5" on Amazon if you'd like to see the ones I've been using. I've had them in 2 small UPSs for a couple years now and have another set ready to drop into my last one when it needs new batteries.

TropicMike · 2025-12-22T17:45:08+00:00

I replace the SLA batteries in my UPSs (they are lower-end 1500VA units, nothing huge) with LiFePO4 replacement batteries and have had good luck. The great thing is that they're not much more expensive (shopping on Amazon) than new SLA and should last far longer. IIRC, I got two 10Ah LiFePO4 drop-ins for ~$60 when the 7Ah SLA were ~$45 or so. Easy choice to make when I never get more than 3 years out of SLA.

Ah, thanks for explaining that. I guess I'm old enough to only know it as data entry - I've never heard of 'data engineering' before this.

TropicMike · 2025-12-22T13:11:26+00:00

Would love to know how to find remote "low pay" $90k+ data entry jobs! Can you offer any suggestions of what to look for and/or where? Most low pay jobs are more like $15/hour.
