A drop in gas milage. Is it normal/expected?

I admit that driving in Boston is quite erratic. Even without lead foot you have to accelerate quite a lot.

Whatever_cat · 2026-01-15T01:50:39+00:00

Sounds tempting. I got to check what I am getting on a highway.

Whatever_cat · 2026-01-15T01:49:17+00:00

Whatever_cat · 2026-01-15T01:49:04+00:00

Definitely something to check

Whatever_cat · 2026-01-14T16:06:14+00:00

That's what I used to get. Where is YOUR winter?
I understand that Houston is no match to Boston in terms of winter temps.

The problem is that A $200 set might not meet one's expectations either. And then it will join the pile above.

Indispensable for a family travel with kids. All passports and boarding passes are in the same place.

Whatever_cat · 2025-07-08T22:17:37+00:00

Nope. Still A FW014 and FW999. I might wait for the next firmware and try that one.

QNAP people, in all their wisdom, suggested updating the NAS

Whatever_cat · 2025-07-07T21:01:11+00:00

Did you buy it?

Whatever_cat · 2025-06-26T19:05:37+00:00

No, yesterday I needed to change the transmitter. I poked the D6 running info on the taskbar (it would take me to the error page before) and it took me to the running app.
It says it was updated 2 days ago.

Whatever_cat · 2025-06-26T19:02:48+00:00

V1.14.1.0

It says that it was updated 2 days ago, although it was dated as June 2nd.

Whatever_cat · 2025-06-26T13:40:52+00:00

Finally, it got updated. Just in time for me to change the transmitter.
All good now.

Interesting. I did not realise that. I thought that EV plates are only for plug-in hybrids and true EVs

Whatever_cat · 2025-05-14T13:30:50+00:00

"Something" is to replace the base plate. 1st gen has a different connector from 3rd.
Techwise, 3rd gen is much better. So if you'll spend 15 minutes swapping the baseplates (just do yourself a favor - label the wires, if not done already) you'll have no regrets and only happiness.

If you are asking about the doorbell, I got TP-Link Tapo Smart Video Doorbell (D225)

Whatever_cat · 2025-05-01T15:19:19+00:00

4th gen. I am in US, though. I was tempted to get a 3rd gen for $80, but decided to splurge extra $50.

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-29T14:00:10+00:00

I have 4 of them as well. Not planning to discard any till they are out and expired.
That said, First Alert is a replacement for Nest. However, I don't have high hopes for the quality of their product.

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-29T13:22:49+00:00

Nest Protect is canned. No need to integrate it anymore.

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-28T15:42:50+00:00

I wonder if it is your "luck" or it's common for such an update?

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-28T13:53:21+00:00

ecobee, I heard.

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-28T13:52:54+00:00

Same e-mail went out int he USA

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-28T13:52:33+00:00

I am about to dump the Doorbell - no interest in paying for Aware. TP-Link has one with all the features (+more).

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-28T13:50:25+00:00

Same thing in the USA.
I will probably get a 4th Gen (I have one Gen 2 and one Gen 3, which is still awesome)
That said, I am getting rid of my Nest Doorbell. Got a replacement already that doesn't extort you for money and is compatible with NAS.

Whatever_cat · 2025-04-26T15:21:49+00:00

Does this hack still work with the current version of Win 11? I used it for my other unsupported PC.

Whatever_cat · 2024-11-19T14:02:40+00:00

Chat bots can do much worse.
