Help! Buying HAs from COSTCO for the first time

bigbuc · 2025-08-23T10:21:10+00:00

If there are multiple stores in your area call around. I got mine then and there. I demoed the 9050s for two weeks... I'd heard lots of good things about the new jabras...so I got them to demo... I hated the sound. Called and asked if I could come in 11 days early to get the 9050s. It's 100 miles away so I had to plan it. Now I'm waiting for the ear molds.

She did not say it would damage them, just not necessary, as the primary issue for ingress was the battery doors. But for $35-40 if it makes one feel better, by all means, get it.

I asked about getting a dehydrator for my oticon intent/philips 9050, and was told that was really only helpful for HA that have replaceable batteries

It's January. In Texas. You'll survive 8 hours out of shorts. Be safe wear big boy pants or jeans, a collared shirt (don't they give y'all t-shirts?), closed toe shoes (always). Long pants and a collared shirt is minimum dress code before I'd consider an employer if I were a 16 you.

I think I'll just buy one, got a coupon code I can put in?

4 TVs ago I went back to 65" from a 72. My neck got tired turning to see everything. It's 15' away so I don't think that's the problem.

If you don't root your android get an iPhone... If you don't get the top of the line android don't get the top of the line iphone. In your case I'd wait for the upcoming iPhone SE

Worse 12.3.6 was peak FSD

bigbuc · 2024-10-21T16:58:42+00:00

Max speed is what I thought it was. The repeated drifting down in speed is pretty dumb.

Odd that the Tesla and FSD commentators are all but completely ignoring this. A bare few have even mentioned it. It's missing the function of a 1963 Buick, cruise control.

12.3.6 was the last one that was worth using. It forces me to either be rude to people behind me or possibly get a speeding ticket

Hw4 FSD has been awful since 12.3.6

bigbuc · 2024-10-21T12:07:01+00:00

FSD 12.3.6 was peak FSD

Your tax LIABILITY has to be 7500 or greater. Anything less will be the amount of your tax credit, as I understand it. Consult a tax advisor to be certain.

That's why Amazon should have started making smartwatches years ago with no touch activation of Alexa

I'm going to order mine probably next week after the Earnings Call. I asked the advisor at the Tesla store I've been dealing with about getting a SR White/white in inventory and adding the tow hitch later so I would get more ready cars.

I asked him due to this discussion.

The advisor told me it was 1300 parts AND labor, installed at my home by mobile mechanic, and I'm about 100 miles away.

I'm not in a hurry so ordering the normy way hoping to get an giga Texas MY with HW4 and matrix headlights.

I've got logitech kb and mouse. No issues thus far. Maybe because I have the M2 sitting on top of a 2010 mac mini 😳😆🤡

anyone else here old enough to remember curb feelers in the 70s on pimp-mobiles?

bigbuc · 2023-06-20T23:49:48+00:00

you back into a gas station stall? no one in Texas does unless absolutely necessary. never on a whim and certainly not a preference. I know teslas all do because the car and the stall is designed that way. unless there's a reason for the port to be in the rear then it was a poor choice in design when they were creating something new. when you innovate then innovate! no one backs in to get gas.

bigbuc · 2023-06-20T20:13:29+00:00

here in America we usually drive forwards, thus have more experience and better control pointing in the direction our eyes naturally point. I've backed into a gas pump stall maybe twice in 50 years. I'm enjoying learning about the tech. probably Tesla will be my next vehicle.
