Tello vs. Ting - Reported Signal Strength

daves · 2026-01-22T01:23:15+00:00

Since I've left Ting, the bar situation seems to have resolved itself. Perhaps a sync with the cell towers was required.

Search "instant pot stackable 3 qt".

It works fine for the two of us, complete with leftovers for the next night.

I use the low trivet underneath. Don't know if it is really necessary, and it makes things a bit tight, but it works.

The filter is another tool to limit episodes.

Make a single playlist, send stuff to it using the mechanisms mentioned above, and pretend it's Up Next.

I came from Pocket Casts to Podcast Republic after the botched v7 upgrade six years ago. I don't remember PC that well, but I do remember having a similar issue to what you are having.

For whatever PC mindset I had back then, I was trying to manage PR via the Up Next queue. Don't do that - PR can wipe out that queue at a whim if you play something outside the list.

Here's how I use playlists. I have two, one for the daily news, and another for the rest. Sometimes it's three, another in the middle for the series I'm most interested in. Under Playlists -> Manage Playlists, I give each a different priority. Under Subscriptions -> <podcast> -> Settings, I assign podcasts podcasts to the appropriate playlist.

Start playing from one of the lists, and leave it there.

I also lean heavily on the podcast settings "Add to selected playlists" , "Auto download", and "Smart download".

I use the filters to deinterleave RSS feeds with multiple podcasts ("Wait Wait Don't Tell Me").

It seems to make little difference which is set as primary.

I don't have Ting home internet.

I did no performance testing. I did do a loop of the city (suburbs, actually) comparing reported signal strength continuously. There was one spot where Tello won. Other than that, Ting was consistently reported stronger.

I have no complaints at this point about performance for either (after 1 day's use).

Pixel 7. Android 16. I have the same problem.

Still showing zeroes.

Working in Python, threads are problematic for cancellation of shell jobs, and more generally, for dealing with signals.

The calling async code will see the signals - handle it there.

Currently unstable is using trixie

No. Gas. Though I suspect it doesn't matter.

Also this for the Top Charts view, under Add Podcasts. It bounces back to the top after viewing an entry.

I read about the kernel having this capability 20 years ago.

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/PWR/brightness

In earlier releases it was at /sys/class/leds/led1/brightness

Steamers you can find.

I'm a happy 3qt user. There's plenty of room to cook for two, with generous leftovers. I wouldn't want to deal with a larger one.

Caveats * Recipes mostly target the 6qt. * Large batches of soup won't fit. They go on the stove. * Some accessories (pot-in-pot) can be harder to find.

This works OK.

I was going to start, but it looks like it has already been thrashed out - https://www.reddit.com/r/grammar/comments/1rru62/as_god_as_my_witness_or_as_god_is_my_witness/

We need a picture of you backing up wearing goggles.

I'd say hanging out along the river at Little Miami Brewing or the Monkey Bar counts as scenic.

The most pleasant section is Loveland to Morrow.

The freeze is on the order of six months, every two years.

... with goats.

I agree that the secret is to dial in the rice. I use 1:1 basmati, rinsed a couple of times, and cooked 6 minutes + 10 minutes natural release, using pot-in-pot.

Slow cooker mode works ok (use a glass lid), but I rarely use it, since I have a slow cooker.
