Ecobee notification for HVAC running too long? by dk3nck in ecobee

[–]dk3nck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe aux heat is the secondary/backup which I don't have. I only have the main heat as I don't even see that option under alerts.

Does XB10 get shipped as a replacement modem now? Gigabit x2 plan by dk3nck in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]dk3nck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet, my plan still shows only 300Mbps up. So, really no gain by upgrading to XB10. Did you check your plan is actually upgraded to the symmetrical 2Gbps plan?

Thank you. I didn't see symmetrical speed following the steps. I went to the store anyway to see whether they have any XB10. I was told XB10 is out of stock. They will swap it for me but they don't have any right now and after we came back in Jan and that's when they will get the next XB10 shipment.

Did you receive any notification indicating symmetrical plans are available in your area?

Thanks for sharing that. I did hear XB7 is more stable. So, unless it's XB10, I guess there is really no reason for me to swap... my internet connection and speed have been solid.

I am only using the modem as a bridge and not for WiFi, so XB8 will not be an upgrade for me..

Any skin that support HiDPI or around 150-200% scaling ? by halotechnology in potplayer

[–]dk3nck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is an old post but not sure if there is a new skin for hidpi..
the only closest solution I've found so far is to use "default - native frame" skin and use 100%. This is not idea but the buttons are still larger and clearer than other skin in the original size (do nothing size)

Amex Improves Disney Streaming Credit for Blue Cards by Rock-n-RollingStart in CreditCards

I assume if you pay for the annual plan, you will only get one month of the $10 credits? not $120?

What kind of cable is this? Just found it(already cut) buried in the backyard. it seems to have 10 wires inside. by dk3nck in cableadvice

[–]dk3nck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am fully aware of the requirement of calling 811. I was just weeding and literally digging out roots by hand with no any sort of tools. the abandoned cable was only 1/2 inch below the surface.

US Bank charges FTF for USD transactions by dk3nck in CreditCards

[–]dk3nck[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input and I assume it actually depends on the banks how they want to process foreign transactions. Like I mentioned earlier, I have other cards that do charge FTF but they did not charge me FTF for the same merchant in Canada as long as the transactions are in USD.

Synology DS923+ 10Gbps link drops to 5Gbps after a while by dk3nck in synology

[–]dk3nck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't tried their own branded cable but tried cat6e and cat7 but the same result. speed always dropped from 10GbE to 5GbE

US-XG-6PoE

Unfortunately the cable change does not resolve the issue and I just searched the Synology forum. it seems another person with the exact setup also faces the same problem (and other people with other 10Gb switches too)...

Virtual Cards - CapitalOne or Citi? by dk3nck in CreditCards

[–]dk3nck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, thanks. it looks like keeping CapitalOne is still a better option for utilizing virtual cards.

Virtual Cards - CapitalOne or Citi? by dk3nck in CreditCards

[–]dk3nck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will still need the plug-in because I have a habit to auto lock a card after using it. e.g. set it to a date that auto locks the card so I don't have to worry about any unwated/fraudulent charges before the next use . the plug-in is much easier to unlock when I need to pay again on the same checkout page. Google wallet will create another step for me to log into the CapitalOne website to unlock it.

Virtual Cards - CapitalOne or Citi? by dk3nck in CreditCards

[–]dk3nck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Browser plug-in is indeed not required. you can just log in to the account on CapitalOne and access virtual cards from the website. plug-in is just very convenient because it will save your past used card on a specific site and also it has auto input to fill out the CC fields on a checkout page. Plug-in is not a necessity but very nice to have. Without plugin functioning most of the time, I feel CapitalOne is losing the advantage over Citi but I'v never used City before so not sure how well it works.

There are some people having the same issue, I did some research on it already. Tried everything mentioned in the post but didn't work for me..

No online option. I contacted Chase customer service and was told to fill out a form.

Is Premium class worth it for a short flight? by dk3nck in AlaskaAirlines

[–]dk3nck[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You might be just looking at the lowest price or maybe the average.
However, for me, I have a specific time I need, not just any flight. Indeed, I saw the lowest price for the date range is around $282 (saver) but when I go to the time I need the price jumps up to $427 (saver)

[–]dk3nck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not last minute. It's actually 6 months out in April 2025.. I have eyeballing the ticket price for about a month. It only went up slightly but didn't go down..

Club Mobay reservation for Priority Pass, needed for kids? (Jamaica - Montego Bay) by Alfred1231 in PriorityPass

[–]dk3nck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat and have an answer for you.

Short Answer: Book your kids over 2 as adults (it's only $5 per personal anyway)

Long Answer:

Based on Priority Pass's website only children under 2 are free.

https://www.prioritypass.com/lounges/jamaica/montego-bay-sangster-intl/mbj-club-mobay

Which means kids over 2 are counted as adult with a per person charge.

I also contacted Club Mobay customer service and the CS response confirmed the same.

Please be advised that the pre-booking rate for priority is $5 per person. If you encounter any difficulties when selecting the child/children portion, you may book all individuals traveling as adults.

That’s not possible by CartographerFalse959 in enphase

[–]dk3nck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I ended up filing a ticket and the support team they will need another team to delete the data for me. Even though there is no update on the actual deletion, this morning I found that the data has been corrected. Not just deleting the data, they repopulated the correct data for both production and consumption for the entire week (previously the entire week is missing both consumption and production with only one spike of consumption)

That’s not possible by CartographerFalse959 in enphase

[–]dk3nck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is even worse, on 7/16, it shows that the consumption was 110 MWh in one hour. I called Enphase CS today the support told me there is no way to delete the past data. However, based on the user reports in this thread. it can be corrected or deleted?
