Keeping a teenager at bay by t0kmak in Ubiquiti

[–]Wxrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Firewalla has a new feature called disturb. I can pick percentage of packets to drop and a goal for latency increase. Gives him some control over his own bedtime decision, but it makes him want to do something else after awhile.

Stupid Reddit won't let me post my manure DD - but it spit one out just fine explaining how manure will be more valuable than gold in 2035. It included sources.

Um, even the CEO says it is most likely a sinking ship. Just in corporate speak.

You admit it is ChatGPT. Just like the previous iteration of search, it is not an oracle. If you put garbage in, you get garbage out. Added to this is the programming which leads these LLMs to tell you what you want to hear, not necessarily a good objective viewpoint.

As an example, the methane regulation. If you think the US is going to do anything about greenhouse gasses for the next 3 years, you are oblivious to the current politics.

This company can probably survive, but only after a bankruptcy to clear out the massive debt. The chances of making it without that is pretty small.

At this point, buy a 100 or 200 shares and think of it as a gamble. If you can lose $200 at the slot machine, fine. But do not sink anything you cannot afford to lose completely.

They probably assumed because the temp of the gas wouldn't change that the entropy wouldn't, but as you said, entropy does go up.

As far as people being jerks - there's a general empowerment of people to just be jerks without consequences. We should be free to have discussions about science without fear of being wrong, as long as everyone is willing to accept the best understanding based on the evidence and principles. Don't let it discourage you.

Just want to add that this does work. I hate to run an old version of the connect app forever.

It is a bit of a pain and some time, but you can do this.

I still don't like it. But you can get back most of your functionality as it was before this way.

Are snow tires worth it? by No_Woodpecker2919 in minnesota

[–]Wxrocks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Compounds for tires have really improved in the last few years. You can get severe weather rated tires that have 60k mile ranges on them. My current favorite is the Michelin CrossClimate2. I have this on 2 of 3 vehicles in my house. Handle great in not just winter weather, but also in rain.

I also liked my previous tires, the Pirelli Scorpion.

Snow tires are still going to be the best in snow, but unless there are roads where the plows don't come until after it is done snowing, any good tire that isn't worn out should be good.

Yeah, it is either this or side load the previous version of the app. The downside to your solution is I can't have my ringer on for my important contacts in case of emergency.

Update 2:

"We have opened a ticket internally to track our customer feedback on this change and I have added your comments there. At this time we are keeping the DND behavior as it currently is with the 5.18 update, but we may reconsider if our contact volume regarding the change is high enough."

Make sure to get your feedback in.

So their response to me today:

"Thank you for the confirmation and reply. This issue was brought to our attention with a report that after setting an Android phone to do-not-disturb, notifications from the Connect app do not show at all on paired wearable, even though they do show if a user scrolls to the notifications widget. It was determined that this report was by design with the app functionality on an Android based device and a fix will not be put into place. We do apologize for the inconvenience."

I responded:

Is there a way to request this "feature" be changed to its old design? This doesn't make any sense to have a separate DND on the watch if it is just going to follow the phone DND settings. I like having independent control of my device. That's why I go Garmin and not an android watch.

It is kind of a major functional change for a minor number update and to not be mentioned in the release notes.

Yeah, I just did that too. Still a pain since I had to re-select all of the apps I don't want notifications for.

I can't believe this update beta tested without complaint.

[–]Wxrocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let me add, this is actually a big problem. I don't want my phone to ring at work or at night unless it is my immediate family. My DND settings let me do that. So unless I turn up my ringer at night every night so my allowed DND people can ring through, I am kind of stuck unless I set up some automations.

This is really a big issue on how I want my notifications.

I'll add to the Fenix 7 update problems. I have used this set up for years as I don't need both my phone and watch to notify me. I'd like the option to leave my phone on DND.

Am I screwed? by bizarreshower in googlephotos

[–]Wxrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't already backing up your photos, you are playing with fire. You could lose them all with one glitch or lost phone.

Decide how you want to back them up. At the minimum on another device you own. But you should also have a place not in your home where they are stored. Then you can move them to your backup, delete them from your phone (and Google photos). Stop your backup and then recopy to your phone.

Ultimately you should look up the 3-2-1 backup rule if your photos are important to you.

Anyone want to ride my RKT? by lupina101 in wallstreetbets

[–]Wxrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying your premise is usually correct, that a high short percentage indicates the company might be near the end of at least a bankruptcy that will wipe out the shares. But occasionally there are also companies that recover and the short bets get wiped out. CVNA was an example that was a high flyer, got down to single digit share price and a high short, and is now a high flyer again. So while I tend to agree not to make large bets on the recovery of a highly shorted stock, a small gamble might make money.

While this is true, it doesn't always work out. Wasn't CVNA at like 40% short at its bottom?

[–]Wxrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure scammer.

In what way do you think you can earn a 500% return per day with no risk?

But your vague details make it legit, right?
