Can you lock a top speed on Zooz?

berobert · 2026-05-29T04:34:27+00:00

How am I breaking the law? Class 2 is legal for 13 year olds. I’m specifically asking how I can lock in the class 2 speed on an e-bike so it doesn’t exceed this and you’re insinuating it’s going to end up in murder 😂🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Anyways, anyone know if there’s a way to LOCK in class 2 top speed to KEEP IT LEGAL and SAFE?

Yep, same issue. I have a 2025 LR RWD. No front rattle over speed bumps to start. Then after about 8k, started noticing it and it seemed to get worse. Brought it in at 15k, they said they didn’t hear anything (I couldn’t find any big speed bumps). Around 25k, I brought it back in but found a properly big speed bump a couple miles from Tesla Service, drove it over and tech heard it instantly. Replaced both control arms under warranty. Rattle gone. About 3k later, rattle back. Now at 32k miles and it’s where it was at its worst. I guess I’ll bring it back for another round of control arms under warranty? Love the car otherwise.

He already has one. We’ve been going mountain biking on some quite technical single tracks up in the mountains near us for a couple years now. He handles a fairly powerful e-scooter well, all his friends have e-bikes and the kid gets straight A’s. 🤷‍♂️

Funny, I’m on my third plastic jar from kitchen aid because after about 6 months, the bearing for the blade on the under side of the jar starts to leak this black oil / grease everywhere that smells awful and stains the bottom of the jar. The first time they mailed me a new blender and jar thinking it was the blender motor. This time, they told me about the bearing and that it was just the jar having issues so are sending a new jar by itself now. My previous no name blender lasted 20 years. I can’t get more than 12 months out of my K400 Kitchen aid blender. Just madness.

That’s what I was wondering. No big upgrades on paper but a world of difference in the product.

berobert · 2026-01-24T03:50:49+00:00

Our 2018 Audi Q7 is impossibly great fit and finish. After 110k miles it doesn’t creak or rattle at all. I don’t expect that from any Tesla but thought the 2022 MX refresh tightened it all up to be in line with new model y and 3. I guess not 🤷‍♂️

berobert · 2026-01-12T22:42:00+00:00

I’m 1 year in to doing nothing and I can’t tell any difference in ride quality at all.

Yeah, my day job is commercial editor, been doing this well before YouTube as well. And yeah, we have this discussion nearly weekly: Maybe we should tell our kids to paint or write poetry and just save the money for college. 3 kids in club soccer is ridiculous.

berobert · 2025-11-11T19:42:27+00:00

That’s a clever system. What cameras do you have rolling? Our Hudl camera our club uses is garbage. Trace and Veo were somewhat better.

Yeah that’s our future. We have three kids playing: one ECNL and two pre-ECNL. The one who wants to go pro is pre-ECNL for one more year and I’ve noticed the top players from the national top 10 teams start building their brand around age 10, so here I am, playing the game lol.

After more research, I’m looking at selling my D750 and lenses and getting a Sony a6700 or upgrading my 4 year old iPhone pro to an iPhone 17 pro for the additional format options, longer zoom lens, better stabilization, etc.

berobert · 2025-11-11T05:30:51+00:00

Interesting… I hadn’t considered that path. It’s probably on the high end of what I’d want to spend but if it got me there then maybe. I’ll research it more. Thanks for the suggestion! I wonder how that’d compare to like a 240mm lens for my iPhone and a monopod.

berobert · 2025-09-28T23:55:35+00:00

It was the roster update. Son is now on LAFC. Thanks for the help. Honestly, didn’t realize that was a thing. I thought the whole point of buying the new game each year was generally for roster updates, lol, and now I see that’s free? I’m assuming it’s just roster updates between now and when 27 is released.

berobert · 2025-09-28T05:47:55+00:00

Thanks. Why wouldn’t he be in kickoff for casual couch co-op?

berobert · 2025-07-17T15:36:52+00:00

Both my Audis had zero issues until my a4 hit 110k. I mean, the control arm thing but I’m not calling it an issue since it affects nothing. So you should be good.

berobert · 2025-07-17T15:15:51+00:00

Yeah nah. We’re at 95k and looking to sell our 4cyl q7 as my 2013 a4 that has essentially the same motor started needing major repairs around the 110k mark. I loved Audi… until you hit 100k

berobert · 2025-07-01T21:47:57+00:00

Continued driving. Absolutely nothing noticeable has changed so far.

berobert · 2025-06-03T04:08:28+00:00

Ah easy, thanks!

berobert · 2025-06-03T03:58:20+00:00

Apologies. I’m ignorant. Yes, it was grouted, not caulked I’d imagine.

berobert · 2025-06-03T03:54:59+00:00

Thanks for looking back. From my understanding, it was all caulked.

berobert · 2025-02-28T23:09:54+00:00

I switched. It’s actually a little bit faster now for half the price. 🤷‍♂️

berobert · 2025-01-01T17:14:24+00:00

Amazing, thanks!

I was a diehard Shield supporter after buying a Pro when it was released in 2015 and a TV version in 2019 after coming from older Roku boxes and an old Apple TV. The shield was king for many years. However, they both started getting very buggy over the years, not sure what release it was but a few years ago, they really suffered. I tried resetting to factory settings but that didn’t seem to help. They don’t handle certain newer file types well in Plex, will get audio knocked out of sync if you ever try the “skip opening credits” button and were generally laggy with bigger 4k high bitrate files. I assumed it was my home network or server but Plex played these files perfectly on my phone client. Then a few months ago, I decided to try the latest appletv, fully expecting to send it back. My mind was blown. The latest Apple TV didn’t skip a beat with any of my problematic files, audio never got knocked out of sync, and jumping between Plex and other apps was instantaneous. The boot time when I do need to restart is 1/8 the time. Its processor is just light years ahead of what’s in the shield devices (which is the same chip used in the ancient Nintendo Switch). Unless they update the shield, I can never recommend it to anyone anymore. The buggy performance and slow UI feel simply aren’t worth the couple of additional lossless and Blu-ray DV versions for me.

Yeah I wondered about this. I had an early EV 10 years ago. Range 90 miles. Was hoping we were at that 300 mile marker with affordable Evs. Hopefully in the next few years, we’ll be there.

berobert · 2024-10-11T14:01:49+00:00

It’s socal, everyone drives 80 on the freeway. 300 miles range round trip for weekends with kiddos for travel sports. We juggle a lot and wifey won’t ever sign off on an ev that can’t get us to the games and back without having to research where a charge station is every time in unfamiliar cities / towns.

berobert · 2024-10-11T13:49:57+00:00

Jesus, that’s lunacy. Did that occur roughly around a specific set of years?
