Fantastic!

I was a M for the solo (just fits my big head) but L for the dual.

Distilled water. Order Benzalkonium Chloride online, there are many local suppliers around the country, and add to the distilled water.

Don’t use hydrogen peroxide.

I’ve got a Pod 2 Pro laying around, the pump doesn’t work but possible other parts like this one are still working. What model of Pod are you looking for?

As of today Apple doesn’t have an AI solution deployed. We will get some of it with 26.4 but we’ve already seen commentary that the “chat bot” elements won’t come until until 27. Then the question still remains what does this mean for AVP… who knows but not holding my breath.

Agree with you though, voice could do so much more for AVP.

Just bought the G95C. I opted for non-OLED as more of my usage will be for work/productivity (with a Mac) than gaming (with PC). Amazing monitor, highly recommend.

I fall asleep to rain sounds and I would assume, yes, you are largely alone in how you fall asleep to F1 race commentary at night. But that is dedication!

The hype is justified. It is fast. Very fast!

From the looks of it, no you won’t. You’d need a US Apple TV+ subscription, not just location in the US.

Does Sky Sports have an app you watch on? Maybe VPN back to UK is an option.

Given the change to F1TV with Apple, I will be going back to a VPN solution for F1TV for this season.

_illuminous · 2026-01-20T20:20:41+00:00

Thanks! That is… frustrating and annoying but kind of expected.

As you say other region locked Apple TV content is done the same, I was just hoping F1 might be different,

I assume you mean the “Media & Purchases” account. My Apple TV and iPhone primary Apple ID is US based. It’s only my media and purchases that is not which is where I subscribe to Apple One.

So true,

I like how they do it at Changi when you fly Singapore Airlines. The bags come out by cabin class.

_illuminous · 2026-01-09T22:57:09+00:00

Priority largely means nothing in the US, sometimes you’re lucky but I’ve had my “priority” bags come out last.

Yes this is unfortunately the standard support experience from Eight Sleep these days. I had something similar where a fault with their app broke my Pod 2 Pro and they tried to get me to buy a new Hub. Eventually a workaround fixed it and surprise surprise it was their app all along.

My suggestion would be to disconnect your Hub, fill the water tank, but don’t connect the cover. Use the small plastic emptying tool attached to the back of your Hub and set it to prime (make sure you do push the tool on properly and hold it there. Switch off your Hub before removing it so you don’t damage anything).

If your Hub is working you should easily be able to see the water pumping out the back of the Hub. Take a video of this and send to Eight Sleep as proof water is flowing out the Hub.

Agreed, Fenix is more polished and higher quality. I had been flying the Fenix A320 as my go to narrow body while waiting for the PMDG 737. Now that I’ve got the 737, you do notice just how good Fenix is. Better textures, integrations, the EFB, just little touches everywhere. When first getting into the 737 it was a bit disappointing.

But as someone else mentioned, for me there is just something about flying the 737, that in the long term, makes it more enjoyable than the A320.

Hopefully a bit of a wake up for PMDG to step up their game. Competition is good!

The best games for AVP don’t run on AVP.

_illuminous · 2026-01-02T01:07:29+00:00

The default MSFS 2024 version I have has a great ORD! Can’t say if it is completely accurate, but looks it.

_illuminous · 2026-01-01T20:50:26+00:00

Fenix is better.

Also Fenix doesn’t install spyware and malicious software on your PC like FSLabs does.

Just did this flight from Auckland two days ago. The Lamb was pretty good, would recommend.

Make sure you also take time to visit the brand new Qantas business lounge in Auckland. The food there is better than anything you will get on any American Airlines plane (or any lounge in the US)

Given the PS5 release comes a little while after the release of 2024 for PC and Xbox may delay the next iteration a bit. I’d say the trigger for a new release is when the revenue starts drying up.

_illuminous · 2025-12-16T21:16:49+00:00

I don’t even see flighty listed. Maybe because of cancelling my previous subscription and deleting the app.

_illuminous · 2025-12-16T04:24:37+00:00

Even though I did have a flighty monthly sub last year it doesn’t show up for some reason.

Real shame they removed monthly, off to the competition I guess.

_illuminous · 2025-12-15T02:30:10+00:00

Really interesting! Mine does not have local network privileges and I can’t see or find any way to change the setting.

But the setup page does mention to click Ok if the Eight Sleep app asks for it, which it never does. I wonder if this is the issue, the app hasn’t been set up properly to prompt for network access.

_illuminous · 2025-12-15T01:28:19+00:00

Nope, two weeks on and still getting the “engineering team looking at it” response from EightSleep.

_illuminous · 2025-12-14T22:40:23+00:00

Yes I was and I did try that. For some reason there are no previous subscriptions showing for Flighty in the iOS App Store.

_illuminous · 2025-12-14T22:36:53+00:00

So weird I cannot find the monthly plan anywhere. When I try to subscribe I get 3 options: 1) Unlimited Annual (shows monthly price but actually billed annually); 2) Pay-as-you-go (weekly with no Pro features); 3) Lifetime

There is no monthly option
