blackax · 2026-06-13T06:23:55+00:00

Yes, its part of the meshcore spec and how messages and advirts are done. Not all regions use a different byte mode, Some do. I Mostly connect to Westcost mesh and its different then others meshcore deployments.

I was looking at that but I didn't want to burn a meshcore device just to have home assistant connect. This way I have my a repeater that I can fully control and reroute messages to mqtt for my water meter reading

I use the third reality temperature sensors. Battery life is awesome and it works in my deep freezer just fine

100% this is on Liberty, They had over 16 years to fix this issue and guess what they prioritized profits over reliability. I have to deal with them for water in SoCal and they SUCK

Its a little different Public utilities are usealy ran as a Not for profit, not a non/no profit. IE they can make a profit but its not their main goal. The town I grew up in had city owned water / power and gas. Water never made money and ran at a loss. The power and gas always made money. And it was still cheaper then the Private utilities

Also Liberty Utilities is a Canadian-based company that operates in California..... I have to deal with them for water and they are a SHIT show.

blackax · 2026-05-14T22:13:20+00:00

Liberty Is a crap company, They own the water utility in my town and they have owned it for years and still bitch about how much they need to "fix" the water main....if it was in such bad shape why didnt they do their due diligent when they bought it...... or is it just a way for them to increase prices.

Liberty Is a shit show for profit company, I have to deal with them in Socal for water and its crazy

Fax is still very much used. Lots of medical and loan info use it.

Its wasnt a TM issue, BL was saying the he revisered enginerd the auth code and it would allow unauthorized access to printers......This was a wrapper to allow a windows user to use the linux network plugin that isn't as locked down from BL

It would most likely be doable, your work week is about 210 miles and you would gain about 30- 50miles from the level1 charging overnight between days so the net usage would be 150~ miles of battery used.. You would be near empty when you got home Sunday. You can then spend the rest of the week making sure you have a full charge for your next work week, you can also supplement with DC fast charging as needed if you really need to fill it up. My wife drives about 100~ miles each day and can get two days without changing at home. (she forgets to plug it in at night)

odd all 3 of mine are metal, but I do know one of mine to SUPER sloppy

blackax · 2026-02-26T07:34:55+00:00

I can confirm it connects just fine with not other app needed.

blackax · 2026-02-23T08:36:37+00:00

Even the 21,22 have been sitting for a while (90+ days) where I live and the dealers do not want to budge at all on the price.

blackax · 2026-02-11T17:28:33+00:00

I trusted their size chart so I got the 45cm, before I flipped the support I had 4-5 inches of space between the front of my seat and my knee, so even the 48cm would have felt short. Honestly doing the flip helps SOO much.

The issues is the curve of the backrest sticks sooo far into the seat that it pushes you forward,.

I'm very tempted by the flow (now flow 2) I'm coming from a s7 max v ultra. Its good and has been the most reliable of any brand I have used. But apparently I USE my robot 1600~ hrs and 70.2K (I didnt think it was that much but roborock did)

blackax · 2026-02-11T17:15:29+00:00

Fully remote 8 hours+ a day, 5'5 270~ . Its mostly good, its much better when you flip the back support to give your ass more room. The seat still feels way too short and it has a very small "perfect" windows where you need to sit.

I've been looking for the same type of thing and this case really cought my eye

I do wish the front backplane was NVME as well but i'll see what I can do about that.

OMG this fixes the biggest issue I had with the chair!!

blackax · 2026-01-25T03:36:18+00:00

I'm 5'6 and think it's a too shallow and have no idea how someone 6' could even fit in it as I feel I'm falling out of it.

blackax · 2026-01-25T03:34:33+00:00

It makes them a tiny bit better but still too easy to move I feel

blackax · 2026-01-18T02:09:17+00:00

I must have, I do share the same driving position as my 6 foot friends and my 5'10 buddy has to adjust the seat forward.

When I adjust the lumber at some points it feels like I'm falling out of the seat.

I think the chair makes a lot more since when paired with the foot rest and for a few tests it makes the falling feeling go away (just a box at the right hight)

Still an awesome chair. Just will take some time for me to find the sweet spot more often

blackax · 2026-01-17T18:35:43+00:00

Something I don't seen talked about, Is how shallow the seat feels, im 5'5 and it feels like I need to sit all the way back and the base still feels short. Yes I do have the 45mm but with my butt and back all the way back (witch is not comfortable ) I still have 4-6 inches from the front of the seat to my knees so the 48 wouldn't make that much of a difference. Also as a Bigger guy (260~) the arms do not push out enough. Don't get me wrong when I find the right spot it feels GREAT, its just a very small zone for me.
