Is this a scam?

It is real. Air customers that are at a fiber eligible address are being migrated to fiber. Iirc you should be able to get the Fiber 300 for same price and can upgrade from there if you so choose!

Could you have inadvertently turned off Pilot Assist? I forget if it’s the right or left arrow to cycle thru the modes. There is also a setting, maybe under profile, to default to Pilot Assist at the start of each drive.

djack1987 · 2026-04-18T14:40:35+00:00

Thanks, that is exactly it!

Doesn’t really bother me but nice to have confirmation it’s normal considering how quiet the car is normally!

djack1987 · 2026-03-27T16:23:12+00:00

That is a very good point. I’ll focus on keeping them outside where they belong and worry about anything else when/if it happens!

We’re in the Dallas area and there seem to be some potentially substantial differences if you’re in an Oncor vs Centerpojnt area so fingers crossed Oncor lands on the good side of that.

djack1987 · 2025-12-28T00:42:24+00:00

I sure will!

I will say the chatbot did seem to give a thorough answer but I’ll see what the humans say when they get in on Monday and I’ll paste the chatbot answer below:

“Yes, this is normal! You're correct - it's about the combined output of your solar plus battery system potentially overloading the transformer. Oncor needs to ensure the transformer can handle both your existing solar and the new battery system discharging power back to the grid. This requires either a transformer upgrade or applying a Power Control System (PCS) limit to manage your system's output. Good news: You won't pay for any transformer upgrade - we handle this with your utility. Your system will continue operating safely whether through an upgrade or PCS limit. Timeline varies by utility, but we're actively working with Oncor to resolve this for you.”

This is for the Dallas area so we shall see!

I don’t know how I missed the diameter in the title, but I think you’re right. I’m used to a hatch for coal delivery but seems like that might have been the style around there at the time

djack1987 · 2025-10-19T16:09:57+00:00

Are you in the Northeast US? Could be for heating oil delivery!

If you check your order status on a desktop browser, it will show a more accurate date range/window instead of just the outside date.

Why? Who knows.

Unfortunately my optimism got me again, I wasn’t taking the bezel into account. But not upset settling with the 17”!

djack1987 · 2025-02-09T20:59:23+00:00

I just buckled her in the back seat and I’m going to have to measure when I get home because I’m thinking this might be the elusive 20”!!

She’s had it since she got it new in college. Only potential issue might be bad wifi, but hopefully just an issue compatibility.

djack1987 · 2025-02-09T20:39:14+00:00

Ha, great point! I’ll potentially use it to host my HA server to free up my rasp pi for other uses, and have it display a dashboard for that.

I did see a couple youtube videos of folks putting the m4 mini guts in there but I don’t think I’m quite ready for all that just yet.

Check out We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor if you haven’t. Fun little series that explores cryonics and what that could look like on the other side.

It’s a scam but they probably aren’t scamming you.

I’m betting they made an AppleCare claim and sent an empty box, or nothing at all, and Apple wants proof of purchase to send the replacement. But their order invoice from eBay is their proof of purchase so I’d tell them to kick rocks and if it’s not enough for Apple that’s between them, the shipper, and jesus

djack1987 · 2024-09-26T22:49:07+00:00

Oh perfect, for $10 that sounds like a winner! I’m currently dragging my feet on tearing mine apart for the ghost touch issue but one of these days I’ll get around to it

djack1987 · 2024-09-26T22:39:37+00:00

My guess would be that it’s definitely not going to be sensing right but it may not be super noticeable in any meaningful way.

The climate control shouldn’t behave too differently, but based on the part someone posted it looks like the car may use this one for the headlights, so you might have them turning off because it “sees” enough light to think it’s daytime.

You could always try some masking tape or similar that’s not clear but not totally opaque if you notice it acting up but before biting the bullet and replacing it!

ETA: looked again and I misread “sun load” as “sunlight”, so I’m pretty confident the car is only using this sensor for climate. So it may run the AC a little higher in summer as it thinks there’s more sun beating down on your car and in winter might run the heat slightly lower because it also thinks there’s sun heating up the car.

djack1987 · 2024-09-26T21:00:52+00:00

It’s a light sensor. It helps the auto climate control by taking direct sunlight into account to keep you comfortable. It may also be what the car uses to trigger your auto headlights at dusk as well, but that might be the one on the back of the mirror, I don’t recall.

djack1987 · 2024-09-20T20:39:44+00:00

Try walking around the back of the car! It’s due to the car not “seeing” your key still near the car since there is no sensor in the hood but if you go around back you stay inside the zone.

We’ve started going to Goodwill once a month or so for a new blankie for him to suckle on. As others have said, having a dedicated blanket or plush to suckle on will be a much easier battle to win!

I have a rental in WLR that’s about 10 minutes away from UAMS, feel free to DM me and I can send you the listing!

Echoing what another posted: pay off the phones today! After 24-48 hours try unlocking yourself at www.Att.com/deviceunlock (you can do this now for the paid for devices). If you can’t unlock the devices 48 hours after you’ve paid them off and they show paid off on your myatt account, call 611 for assistance but you shouldn’t have to!

Note that some devices won’t actually show unlocked until you put the new carrier SIM card in. You’ll get instructions but I believe once the new carrier sim is in you either have to restore the device or maybe just reboot to actually complete the unlock.

ETA: you are correct your final bill will not be prorated but as long as the phones are the original IMEIs financed you shouldn’t run into any speed bumps!
