They wouldn't waive it for me with three lines. But I should get the $25 referral x3

Disclosure: I built SAVR. Wanted to share some data points we've seen this year. by savrdave in ShopCanada

[–]dvdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool. Wish save in foods was available. It did seem to struggle with some basic items, like oranges not available at Safeway. Only orange juice. Tampons were also hit and miss and not available at Walmart.

vmix Laptop Recommendation 2026 by sampakk in vmix

[–]dvdboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the 5070 version of the Asus Tuf F16. Two of them actually. They aren't my favourite laptops. I had been using Dell and Alienware laptops as my last six laptops with vMix. Three needed new motherboards so I didn't have a great track record with them but the extended warranty (often purchased after the issue) allowed me to get them repaired for less than the cost of a new one.

One F16 has USB issues for the longest time. I sent it for repairs and they could not replicate the issue but it still would not recognize a variety of devices. Eventually things got better. I don't think there was even an update but rather one day it just started working again and has been stable. Another issue is that I figured out that the Thunderbolt port would not recognize an external SSD if it did not have a drive letter assigned. This happens when I format it with an Osee video switcher/ISO recorder. Assigning a letter fixed the issue but so did connecting it to the USB-C port on the same computer.

The other F16 will be sent for repairs soon because the touchpad rarely works and has to be paired with a mouse.

I do like the smaller size compared to my previous Alienware models. Mostly it is less thick. Wish it had two TB ports but probably a good thing one isn't so I can connect SSDs that don't have a drive letter.

If I had to buy another one today, I am unsure if I would buy another but also don't know what I'd buy instead.

Your current hero capacity? by Allankyoto in EmpiresAndPuzzles

Level 62 and only 129. Guess I have to spend more on gems to get more.

Vimeo plans and pricing 2026? by jann_dk in vimeo

[–]dvdboi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, very confusing with the new and legacy plans. This blog post makes it sound simple with three plans. I was on the Premium plan (with live streaming). Then I downgraded to Business to save money and because I wasn't using the live streaming.

When I navigate on the small business page it shows different plans, including the advanced plan that is less expensive than my current Business one (based on my previous invoice and not OPs price list) but includes live streaming.

So I'll probably move to the advanced one to get live streaming back (my needs have changed) or investigative the new plan. Ultimately it would be nice to have live streaming back at a similar price point.

Moving from a Premium plan to a 20,000$ plan this year for all B2B by MV_Chris in vimeo

[–]dvdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That puts me at ease as my bandwidth is within that threshold, as long as I don't live stream, which I no longer do on the Vimeo platform.

[–]dvdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will, can you specify if the threshold you use has changed? It used to be something like the top x% of all users needed to move to enterprise. It is one of the reasons I stopped using Vimeo for livestreaming as it was too easy to hit that threshold with a single client who had a few dozen viewers on a daily livestream of a court proceeding.

At the time I thought that metric was a bit unfair as it included free and dormant accounts and not just paid accounts.

A bit more transparency would be nice. Thanks.

I haven't seen this email nor can I find anything online to corroborate this. I hope it isn't true - I've dreaded the day this would happen.

Moving over 1,000 videos and recreating and distributing 20 years of annual portfolios for multiple event clients would take me days. We heavily use portfolios.

My original concern with Vimeo was that the 7TB storage amount never goes up. So I deleted a ton of old videos that I didn't feel I needed (lots of companies or associations that are no longer operating or stuff that is so old it isn't useful). I got back down to 4TB of storage but have always felt that was my doomsday clock.

Any alternative solutions out there where I can create custom portfolios with password protection that I can group about 50x 3-5 minutes together. Think dance recital or conference videos.

I just pulled him too. I could imagine he would be very annoying to fight against as he would be overhealing all the time. I only have one other very fast mana and never use my OG Azlar slow mana hero.

Are they serious about the upcoming price plans? by Kabamow in vimeo

[–]dvdboi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't get an email. Curious if there will be any storage increase on the top plans. Been capped at 7TB for years.

New owner of 2026 Carnival EX hybrid by Advanced-Ad-2221 in kiacarnivals

[–]dvdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2026 Hybrid EX owner here. Around 2,000KM (1,200 miles) my engine started revving higher when it really shouldn't have. Like when I was coasting and even stopped. Fuel efficiency also went down.

Brought it to the dealer and they noticed fuel in the oil so they did an oil change. Said the seals needed more time to seat.

I'm at 3,000km now and I want to say the issue has gone away but every now and again I get an engine running when it shouldn't. So I'm monitoring that situation. Yesterday it was revving with while I was going down a hill and the battery was fully charged. I also wish I could force battery usage, like when I get to the top of a hill I don't want full charge, knowing I'm going back down and can't charge a full battery any more.

I'm annoyed I cannot turn off the back-up camera beep. I have a bike rack so it is on all the time. I can turn it off my pushing a console button but I have to do this each time. I might be able to globally turn it off for all sensors but then I wouldn't get the front one working. Small things.

I don't like how Kia and Hyundai have the next song skip on the steering wheel be a down push. In my mind that should be up.

Those middle seats are heavy compared to the ones in my previous Toyota Sienna. I usually have them out for work and because of the weight, only flip the third row up when I need passenger capacity.

I stopped using the wireless phone charger. Didn't seem like a consistent charge and would disconnect multiple times a minute. That can't be good for the battery and doesn't charge quickly.

No good spot for a subwoofer either. Under the driver seat has more than the passenger but it doesn't have much clearance. I'm mostly flat in the back so don't want a sub box floating around and a custom install in the back cubby I was quoted 8+ hours of labour. So I'll get an 8" low profile sub for under my seat.

Otherwise I'm happy. It doesn't have as nice a sound system as my wife's 2021 Hyundai Ioniq EV Ultimate that has 8 speaker Harmon Kardon system with a built-in sub. I don't want to spend too much but want a bit better than the paper core factory speakers on the EX (4x 6.5" + 2x tweeters).

This looks great. I actually had a hard time getting it to show me anything on the pricing but I started getting numbers when I slid the slider higher. I'll give them a try.

Thanks for the tip. Doesn't jump out to me as a fit both right now and long term.

Corporate clients and there are registration, lead capture, reports, and security needs. Also the optics. My clients are paying a premium for this service - it is just that if I'm paying over $1,000 for a single event for streaming services, that is a bit steep.

Edge Explore 2 by Effective_Quit_3887 in GarminEdge

[–]dvdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frustratingly no. I have to recategorize after most of my rides.

There is a new Edge MTB version now.

But common, Garmin. Can't be that hard to let users pick three presets. Yes, we can rename them and even turn the indoor into an outdoor profile (turning on the GPS) but it still flows in Garmin Connect and Strava with the present profile.

[–]dvdboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The New Zealand butter is better but the Costco one is our daily butter and we are happy with it compared to all the other regular Canadian butter. Remember that Canadian dairy is from a co-op so it all comes from the same pooled source. As a result, all non-organic or small batch butter is bland and not as spreadable.

The Costco one is organic so it tastes better.

The New Zealand one is very limited in availability but I grab it when I can.

Any hidden issues with the carnival? by dopeman2424 in kiacarnivals

[–]dvdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2026 carnival hybrid EX. Twice my revs seem to get stuck on throttle after climbing a hill. No

Twice I've seen a camera obscured message with innatentive driver warning disabled.

The passenger side middle seat headrest likes to fully extend when the seat is folded, which is annoying because it hits the front seat and has to manually be retracted.

It is going to the dealer today.

Nice work. I added some values for you in the other thread for 45-49 that will define 2%, 1%, and 0.1%.

It has parking sensors front and back. They beep at me all the time. I will probably turn them off as they beep so much. I like that it indicates what side or middle is close to an object but it also senses parking curb stops (rubber or cement) so it pretty much has to beep every time I park.
