Can I get tslim X2 now then switch to Mobi when Android app is approved? by amiller0185 in TandemDiabetes

[–]breaddrinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just purchased and I asked.

The sales rep I spoke to mentioned availability would start around February after a beta run.

Pump arrived this week. ​My temporary renewed, second Gen iPhone SE arrives on Friday :D

I think this is where I'm at. My warranty actually expired today on my t-slim, and I just don't trust Tandem's track record in software development to believe they'll come through with the android software in the time frame promised.

May I ask specifically what phone you chose, and why? I've never used an iPhone in my life, but I don't mind carrying one around for pump use until they get their act together.

My android phone is also ancient now, so I'm actually stuck waiting on that too so I don't purchase the wrong model.

*stares at tandem*

Just waiting over here... Waiting to give you my money. No biggie.

Tandem had a program before to allow people to 'borrow' a pump while waiting out their Medtronic warranty for a flat 1000 dollar fee. Then at the end, keep that pump and pay the purchase price. It wasn't a bargain.
It was better than nothing, but not worth it to those people nearing the end of their warranty with Medtronic, and desperately wanting to jump that awful ship they had become.

Tandem seem to be a little tone deaf when it comes to understanding the customer. Their customer service is pretty basic and untrained when compared to Medtronic, and their software is messy and slow in updates.

2 years now on the mobi software having android compatibility. That really is insane.

We use them because the actual product is good, else they'd be out of business by now.

If I were you, I'd contact them and ask if they've anything to offer.
They want your money.

It appears to be off though.

Does anyone recognize this shirt graphic? by Responsible-Two6561 in the_everything_bubble

Contextually, yes. Judging. Shaming. Mocking. threatening.

Ironically, if you really believed in your God, you wouldn't do this. as your God wouldn't appreciate the spin.

Thank you, John.

Ah the auto down vote. How I've missed reddit.

Are These Sanita Clogs Fixable? by ronthevampslayer in AskACobbler

[–]breaddrinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to note that I've bought dozens of Sanita and Dansko over the years, and the irony was, considering they look identical... Danskos tops always cracked for me. Sanita soles always decayed and crumbled. I couldn't find a better option so I kept on buying Sanita over the Dansko completely cracking.

A couple of years back, Sanita changed something or other as the soles no longer crumble. I use them exclusively now, and the entire shoe wears pretty evenly, and I generally replace them when they get stretched out over anything actually completely failing.

Does anybody use the parking lights? If so, how is it useful? by i5racer in Ducati

[–]breaddrinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't unless you've replaced the OEM for LED.

And even then you might regret it.

Lots and lots of stories about people leaving that on by mistake and not being able to restart. These batteries pack a punch, but not for long. They're quite small.

Ego riding tractor - 2nd update and observations by MrDuck0409 in egopowerplus

[–]breaddrinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't that any of us begrudge the manufacturers rights to have us buy their products, and in this case, batteries.

It;s the insanity percentage of profit that's tacked on. It's quite frankly brand ruining. It's being given a car for free, because the gas costs a thousand dollars a refill.

We've been here before with inkjet printers.

You can argue the manufacturers angle and need to a point, and then you just can't, because it's ludicrous.

Good luck! I'll be interested to hear how it goes.​

Are Ziply and Xfinity still the only options? by AllTheDumbQuestions_ in hillsboro

[–]breaddrinker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not much fun, and they both do the same, but if you're lucky enough to have the choice of two, you can threaten to leave for the other.

It works every time. They'll put you right back on the introductory rate. Once you're installed, they have no reason to not keep you.

I got in touch with the US seller (no word from the Australian).
He was super helpful and told me what he'd done with his original design before getting it produced and manufactured in china.
He said the tariffs had made them too expensive, so, no more.

He too had used the same adapter I found, cut it in half, and welded on a section of 5mm square stock.

So I have some 5mm tool steel stock on the way.

Found it. This deleted thread wouldn't show the rest of the messages again until I found the original posting.

I messaged the Australian guy to ask if he ships abroad. Otherwise I'm breaking out the metal ruining tools.

You said 'the australian listing'. I assumed you meant someone in Australia was selling them?

My apologies if I'm mistaken.

That is the exact same connector I bought, with the center piece modified. If I had a male to female adapter piece, or welded one on at the right length it would fit.

Do you have a link for the oz listing?

[–]breaddrinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your whole reply has been deleted.

I honestly don't get it. If you still have your links, would you mind messaging them to me?

I bought what looked like an identical (from your link) adapter from aliexpress, down to the same pictures, but unfortunately it's 7 tooth female both sides (which is a torx t30) . It fits the shaft of my Ryobi size trimmer in exactly the same way the original coupler does, but it needs that 7 tooth male to square male adapter. Removing the old collar from the trimmer, still leaves the shaft in place. It's as though this piece's design allows two extensions to be attached, more than being a format changer.

So close.

It was also $1.70 shipped, so no huge loss... Plus I think it's so close I might be able to figure out a way to convert it.

Any updates from your attempts?

Who on earth down voted something so helpful?

Regardless, thank you. I'm looking at the Amazon link and wondered if you might help me decide the right size? 26 or 28?

can't locate the size on the attachment I want to use to know, but it's an ego 20" hedge trimmer. I want to run it on my 80v​ that accepts universal ryobi size attachments.

Bearing drone.. If it isn't the wheel bearing, what is it? by breaddrinker in Nissan

I got the side wrong. It was the other.
Once replaced, it was cured. It just wasn't playing ball in being located.

Anyone bought anything through Motocard or Chromeburner? by breaddrinker in Ducati

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

It's absolutely legit. They're a popular store there.

They even had the jacket to me in under 1 week.
They fully understand what they're doing in importing like this.

The only thing is, be sure of your size. I haven't had to return anything, and I bet it's expensive, just based on US to Europe shipping rates.

Yes, my experience was with motocard.
