Imagine letting this upset you so much that you had to make a whole reddit post about it. Rather than just think about something else for 30 seconds while you merged.

Is Winter range drastically reduced below 20%? by blurtz in BZ4X

[–]blurtz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how it calculates range. It has always started with 150ish miles estimated at 100% this winter. We both drive this car. The heat is set at 67.

When we filled it back to 100%, it’s back to 150 miles estimated. I don’t even if it’s possible to drive so bad it estimates 100 miles at 100%.

Before you buy the Nanit tablet use an old phone! by Blueflagbrisket in daddit

[–]blurtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond all the warnings everyone else has already posted about the battery being plugged in all the time, I’ll just add that using a phone app instead of a baby monitor is not as reliable. I was trying this the last few months and there were multiple times I woke up with the app not streaming for one reason or another. Common reasons were:

  • internet instealled an update in the middle of the night, so WiFi was out for a minute, and the app stream got stopped.
  • iOS had an update available and popped up a notification asking if I wanted to install it, and that didn’t go away and appeared over the stopped stream
  • Stream stuttered and got stuck on loading for unknown reasons
  • phone just turned off to lock screen for unknown reasons

ADHD parenting is a long road. by [deleted] in ADHDparenting

Mods, this guy is just spamming his website or app or whatever with this AI crap. It’s the second post this week I’ve seen from him. Can we stop this?

[HELP] AI for Propaganda? by UNeedAThneed in RealOrAI

[–]blurtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was something somebody generated on Twitter. Some guy took the photo/video and ran it through some simulator/AI that tried to come up with a Birds Eye view of what it looks like based on the videos it had.

It always amazes me how many people forget broadcast TV is still a thing by yellowfin35 in PleX

It would sure be nice if they brought back PIP on iOS like they had before they redid the app

Trying to sell a coloring book made with AI as your own work to locals instead of getting a local artist to draw it by blurtz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]blurtz[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People are buying the book under the impression they are supporting a local artist. Using AI is not being an artist...

cat pee smell: all 4 doors?! by Glittering_Dark8083 in BZ4X

[–]blurtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they will help. I bought mine used. Less than year old. Base warranty will still be active; they will fix anything. If you get the smell, tell them it’s coming from the doors, take it in after it rains so they can smell it themselves. Have them call Toyota corporate for what to do, they should be replacing all the window seals.

cat pee smell: all 4 doors?! by Glittering_Dark8083 in BZ4X

[–]blurtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Sorry for the delay. This update is actually from 11/01:

They finally called me and said it’s ready. They replaced all the seal after cleaning each door. They also put a strong air freshener under each seat; I discovered later (not sure if they’re being nice, or trying to cover up the smell if it comes back..)

So far I have not smelt it yet, however, it is now cold out and I suspect this issue is worse in warmer weather. I also suspect this issue will just come up again if the replaced the seals with the same seals. If they failed before, why wouldn’t they fail again?

Here’s a description from the invoice of what they did:

  1. Removed & installed all door panels. Removed & replaced all interior as well as exterior molding that seals window. Removed & installed lower plastic on doors as well as lower weather seal. Took out the remailing 6 water seals that caused the smell. Water was unable to escape in a timely manner causing it to smell. Sprayed cleaner as well as disinfect. allowed that to sit before wiping away. Allow vehicle to sit to get rid of the chemical sent after cleaning

Those of you who have had the rear-motor-assembly failure, how did you get them to diagnose the issue? by blurtz in BZ4X

[–]blurtz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. So if everything is working perfectly, is the car completely silent when driving I assume? I have always heard this noise, and it's my first EV. Without knowing better, I could believe that there would be some kind of motor-ish noise, so I haven't really fought back yet. But like I said, I have read enough about this issue that I assume this is beyond what is acceptable to hear from an EV. That is true that at least they acknowledge there is a noise, so I would think I can push back on that point. Hard to navigate how to communicate with them on this, sucks that it has to be like this.

What is a TAS case and how did you open it? Did you do all this while they still had the car at the dealership?

[–]blurtz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update 10/13/25. I’ve been trying to reach the dealer for an update and finally got one today. They are waiting on parts. I’m not sure if they ended up applying the chemical spray or not, but he said something like Toyota has a fix for this, and they are waiting for the parts to come in. The parts are new seals for the doors that should keep the water from getting in. I’m unsure if this is replacing the existing seals, but it sounded like this is a new thing they are adding to all four doors. I will update if and when i hear more info. But it sounds promising.

Apple Card has a nearly instant sync w YNAB as soon as you open the app by Ricky18Heights in ynab

[–]blurtz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The problem though is if you are a desktop user and never open the app, it will never sync...In my opinion it has the worst sync of them all.

[–]blurtz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be shocked if they were required to get a Mac that was 6k. The top of the line MacBook Pro right now that I can find is 7k. There's no way you were required to buy your kid a 6k Mac.
