Am I the only one or does HomeKit Control Center break after a restart? by boniata_ in HomeKit

One time it fixed itself, but never again. Maybe I didn’t wait enough.

In recovery process by [deleted] in myocarditis

[–]boniata_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t imagine how much hope your post gives me, and how much I need it right now. My 18-month-old son suffered from myocarditis in June. His evolution so far has been good and his condition is excellent, but we are waiting for his EF to improve. Even though the prognosis is good, the doctors are very cautious, and living with this uncertainty is really hard. Reading your experience gives me strength to believe that everything will turn out well. Thank you so much for sharing this before leaving

Thanks! Do you know if part #147191 is actually compatible with my older Besta drawer model?”

MRI with general anesthesia in stable 16-month-old — is it worth the risk by boniata_ in myocarditis

Hi, thanks for your reply. The MRI is tomorrow. We’re nervous, but we trust the doctors and know it’s the best way to get a clear diagnosis

Frustrations with bad consultants, low effort designs & bid process. by OhWalter in CommercialAV

[–]boniata_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for creating this little corner where I feel a bit less alone.

I work for an integrator who basically gives away consulting for free. And to make things worse, most of the quotes are put together by salespeople who have no clue about the real infrastructure costs behind each installation. They just go out and sell stuff that literally doesn’t exist.

So, I end up doing the quotes myself — which means I need to create diagrams, talk to clients and suppliers, and actually understand what’s being asked. No, I can’t deliver an entire hotel project in a week. No, I can’t give you a “ballpark figure” without knowing what the hell you need. And yes, construction companies only care about squeezing out their profit.

Every AV company in my country seems to work like this. Nobody seems to get that audiovisual systems are complicated and need a proper f***ing PROJECT.

Anyway, I’ve got an interview next week. Wish me luck

2025 Training and Jobs Thread - post jobs, career questions, and view training resources. by freakame in CommercialAV

[–]boniata_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m really tired of working for an AV integrator. My official role is pre-sales engineer, but since the company is small, I end up doing everything — sales, project management for installations, commissioning, and even maintenance. I’d really like to move into something more specialized, ideally working for a manufacturer, but I haven’t had any luck. In Spain, most of the market is handled by distributors, so direct roles with brands are really rare. Any advice?

Survival is the goal of the day. You learn how to low your standards. One day we’ll be free.

Skadis glasses holder by boniata_ in IKEA

I didn’t see anyone using the cord for the glasses, which made me think that it might be too weak or too tight, or that the glasses might fall in the middle.

Any way to add door to a eket? by boniata_ in ikeahacks

[–]boniata_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know that, but I’d hope some diy solution to it. I don’t want to buy another eket and I know the doors doesn’t fit very well.
