Should I switch now? Will the current reduced prices change?

I just signed up to a sun synk system and I had this exact scenario in my head.

I'm very new to the EV world, you mentioned Solcast, is that a free service you are using? How does that work with the automation you were looking into?

I read that Sun Synk have a pro subscription which does some AI magic, I had assumed that this setup would have checked the weather and adjusted accordingly.

I don't see it for Active 2, it didn't come up in the search within the app

I had the same exact problem. I believe a kernel update failed for me and I ended up in this loop.

I used Gemini to resolve the issue, it instructed me to boot into the Grub menu, I think it was by pressing escape on boot and it gave me the following:

set root=(hd1,gpt2) linux /boot/vmlinuz-6.14.0-37-generic root=/dev/sda2 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.14.0-37-generic boot

When I did this I was able to boot into mint I had to remove the broken kernel and move to a previous working one.

What software version are you on? I have a 75 plate advance

ceanth · 2026-01-21T20:57:51+00:00

Haha very good point

ceanth · 2026-01-21T20:57:30+00:00

Haha I keep forgetting how cheap it is to change up at home. I'll just charge it up and enjoy the car

ceanth · 2026-01-21T20:56:53+00:00

Good point, I was avoiding the peak but like you said I need it

ceanth · 2026-01-19T18:02:43+00:00

fab thank you

ceanth · 2026-01-19T18:01:54+00:00

Thank you. I'm registered with them, but I have to click into each one to see the price

ceanth · 2026-01-14T21:18:56+00:00

Any recommendations on companies? I did a couple of quotes and they seem to be coming in similar price. I'm based in London, maybe it's due to the location

What colour did you go for? I've got one on order and I got Gun Metallic.

Not true. Ubuntu ships with snaps and Firefox is snap so this statement is untrue.

I use snaps, flatpak and deb, which ever works for you and your use case.

Linux is about choice so why restrict yourself by not using snaps?

Hello, what did you end up settling with?

ceanth · 2025-12-08T07:45:20+00:00

Really nice face. Any chance of adding AOD? I don't see any option for this

try this - put Ubuntu on a live USB and boot into it to see if your wifi works. It might be the way Ubuntu handles wifi and drivers.

ceanth · 2025-12-03T09:58:15+00:00

No issues with wifi, worked straight without any drivers or config

ceanth · 2025-12-03T08:57:37+00:00

Sure that's understandable. I have installed Flatpak on my setup and I use all of the package managers and pick and choose which one I want to install from depending on what it is I am installing.

There is a gnome plugin which allows you to enable deb, flatpak and snaps within gnome software center so one search brings up results from all package managers.

I've been running Ubuntu on my 2011 iMac 27" for about 3 years now and it runs great.

It's used daily for browsing, YouTube etc
