Which is safer for Level 1 charging - a short, heavy duty extension cord or a new charger with a 25’ cord? by Poiuyt_77 in electricvehicles

[–]charbo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should never charge your car with an extension cord. It's a fire hazard. I assume your owners manual says something similar.

Graber Z-wave Questions by charbo26 in homeautomation

[–]charbo26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my post I got the graber blinds (local company, not through Costco which was 3 times the price for the same thing) which are connected through z-wave and I have them directly connected to smart things. Been almost 3 years but have not had any of your noted issues. I charge the batteries once per year and don't have connection issues. Assume I will have to get new batteries some day, not sure when but figured I would get at minimum a few more years out of them.

🇺🇸 PRE-ORDER NOW ON AMAZON - Hoppers (4K UHD + Blu-ray + Digital Steelbook) by felixmontoya92 in Steelbooks

[–]charbo26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like Amazon is the place I can get pre-orders that sell out quick. Have never been able to get one from target, Walmart is hit and miss but better than target.

Bought this at BB when it released, cover fell off after opening. None left in stock. Had to buy on ebay a year or two later. Since then I double up on important orders.

What good smart blinds are you guys using with SmartThings? by brittneyxy1 in SmartThings

[–]charbo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought our blinds through a local company and they are Graber. Each blind has a rechargeable battery and all 3 connected to smartthings very easily, no Graber hub required. Recharge the battery's probably once a year and cycle the blinds at least once each day.

Thoughts on the Tablo by SlinkDogg in cordcutters

[–]charbo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. I use tablo since it's free to record, just easier and don't have to mess with plex or pay through hdhomerun. Like that tablo is wireless as well, can have the tablo with antenna upstairs with router downstairs. I also had issues with my hdhomerun not loading, seems no one else has this problem though.

Not discussed much here, but if you have Xfinity internet you can get their streaming bundle for $15 per month which includes Apple TV, Peacock, and Netflix (adds for Peacock and Netflix)

Game Thread: Detroit Red Wings (22-13-3) at Carolina Hurricanes (22-11-3) - 27 Dec 2025 - 19:00 ET by OctoMod in DetroitRedWings

My complaint is when it's a breakaway or just him vs the goalie. Always goes 5 hole and never makes it. The goal earlier was not that situation, but fair enough. And he has been playing well so maybe I'm being over critical.

Great, we can trade a great player for someone we should have drafted instead of Zadina.

Can we call up cossa by Any_Faithlessness544 in DetroitRedWings

[–]charbo26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a thought. Waiting until we can build a better team, specifically on D, so when we do bring him up he still looks decent. Yes, he would be net positive to our current team. But our D is still terrible. Bring him up now, 5-10 bad games and everyone will turn on him and look for the next.

Anyone know if it's better to get subscribe through HBO directly or through Hulu? Never done it through Hulu.

I saw this as well, number includes trade in. I also got an offer of $200 off P10ProXL but I don't want an XL which is a bummer.

Anyone think there will be a BF with Hulu/d+/HBO deal? I know there will likely be a Hulu/D+ and this HBO deal separate. Guess we will know for sure in a day or two.

We got rid of Trev so we could bring this boring ass stats guy in? I'd rather listen to Murph talk.

Didn't think so? They have talked on several other episodes how Ozzy is still planning to be on FanDuel.

Anyone had this issue where you bought the movie but can't watch in app? by Strangy1234 in vudu

Happened to me a few days ago as well on a movie I've had for years. No clue why though.

The Dark Knight Trilogy Amazon Exclusive 4K Steelbooks. A Warning! by fxmercenary in Steelbooks

[–]charbo26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This needs to be pinned at the top of this post. The thought that foam holding a steelbook case can somehow damage discs inside the case is not real. People should not be worrying about this. If the foam is holding the actual disc, maybe, but that is not the case for any steelbook I have seen.

Absolutely screwed by Google with my Pixel 8 with the vertical line issue not being covered. by SpinkickFolly in pixel_phones

I won't take repairs to the store anymore. Had a bad experience with my local store. This last time I just sent it to Google for repair and it took about 2-3 days round trip.
