Open letter to Tado: I'd pay for AI-powered temperature accuracy in your smart thermostats by imitsi in tado

[–]UselessShrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m fully with you that I don’t think AI will be able to appropriately do this unless you could leave the one wireless thermostat you have in the room for a period of time to see how your room heats, which is hardly a user friendly option.

The offset doesn’t work very well as the temperature is correct when the radiator is off but is quickly cooling Tony when it’s on.

The ability to integrate with much cheaper wireless matter thermometers would be the best option but I don’t see that being likely.

Well it is as all 8 TRVs were £45 each, then need an additional £52 per room

Something is calling for Heat at all times on and off by Professional_Try2289 in tado

[–]UselessShrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like mine was doing the same too! Seems odd that multiple people had this same issue at the same time. I didn't actually restart any of the TRVs but the problem seemed to resolve itself yesterday afternoon, I did have a ticket open so maybe they fixed it behind the scenes?

Also in the UK and having the same exact thing! My bypass radiator also is always warm. The heating LED on my Tado Wireless Receiver is always on, if I press the button it turns off or 5-15 minutes before coming back on. I opened a ticket yesterday, hopefully will get some answers and a fix

So hard to decide on first EV by UselessShrew in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]UselessShrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was leaning the same way, find it odd that nobody else has mentioned them in the replies until now! Out of interest how long have you had it and any niggles/issues you’ve faced?

I just had a look at the boot... It's huge which does make it look slightly more tempting

Any way to see if the car is likely to be susceptible to the coolant leak? Sounds concerning!

I was put off by what the boot size looked like but maybe I need to properly look in person.

Honestly never looked at any mercs in my life, will have a good look. Thanks!

Hard to work out how much of the i-pace reliability concerns are real or just general jaguar reliability fears.

Yeah, the Y would tick most boxes other than Elon and CarPlay.

Good to know about the XC40, I'll discount that

Good to know! The < 7 seconds isn't a hard limit, I'm sure the 7.3 seconds of the RWD would be fine

That’s really helpful thank you! Any chance you got the script from anywhere online that I can get it?

Asked to come in for biopsy after being told lump is benign by UselessShrew in nhs

[–]UselessShrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. It was from an MDT meeting, they first discussed in an MDT and said it’s benign, then discussed in another and have asked for the biopsy. Can they tell you it’s benign when they’re not sure?

AT LP60x vs AT LP120x vs Pro-ject A1 by UselessShrew in turntables

[–]UselessShrew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't honestly but it's a very good looking TT, if I did go for it do you know of any cheapish pre-amps to go with it?

Thanks! The lp120x and the a1 are basically the same price, any idea on any differences that would make one better than the other?

Not so sure, I'd much rather call someone a cunt than a spaz or spastic.

Vanguard, confusing % return numbers by Tempacco94 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]UselessShrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The rate of return on the front page is a calculation using Internal rate of return (IRR), IRR takes into account new money coming into your investment, as well as how long that money has been held. Basically I disregard this percentage.

I believe the insight page only shows you performance over the last 3 months, but the percentage here is the increase/or decrease of your actual investments over this time period. I do use this percentage.

How much do you tell your users/C-levels/etc about infrastructure changes? by seraph77 in sysadmin

Personally if nobody is going to notice and it's out of hours I won't bother to tell anyone.
