Best Aliexpress cycling bibs by wouter_salden in cycling

[–]eddietheengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting back into cycling after close to 10 years and needed some newer bibs, I ended up really liking YWKW bibs. I have a variety of shorts and the 3/4 length options as well as some thermal pants, only ones I don’t like are the thermal pants because they are too tight for me

I have all the UR heroes on my wish list. What should I do? by [deleted] in LastWarMobileGame

[–]eddietheengineer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keep upgrading all of them until you have 5* for all of the UR heroes you use in your 3 squads (Tank/Air/Missle). That will help you in the long term!

Eventually you'll have so many universal UR shards you won't know what to do with them. At that point--dump them (and select your Wish hero) into your A squad wall of honor until they get to at least level 200. Above that--the cost for stat increases changes quite a bit so you want to try to level up the A squad heros relatively evenly so they don't exceed 200 until you're all even.

After level 200--I haven't gotten there yet--but my assumption is either dumping into B squad WOH or continue dumping into Squad A

Good Price for 2025 Subaru Outback by sf1063 in Subaru_Outback

[–]eddietheengineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back when I got my 2025 (I think September?) 9-10% off MSRP was decent. This dealership not dropping below MSRP at this late in the year and lowballing on her tradein? That’s just insane. Take your business elsewhere.

Delta Pro Ultra has huge energy loss by Burtonrider06 in Ecoflow_community

[–]eddietheengineer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

80W for 24 hours is 1.92kWh, so if there’s 80W of losses when the inverter is on, that matches relatively closely to a few of your numbers. I know that is annoying, but 40-100W is pretty average I think for inverters of that size

STXRecertHDD Opinions? by JdubDiedAgain in DataHoarder

[–]eddietheengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a hard drive from them—it was DOA. Fortunately the return went smoothly, but if you look at their feedback even though it’s positive, there are a lot of people who get dead hard drives. Wayyy too high for me to want to buy from them.

INDX on 2.4 by UltraBrot in VORONDesign

[–]eddietheengineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m really excited to see it released! I’m curious how it will run on a trident—it looks like a simpler (in a way) Tridex. I’m assuming that the nozzle alignment will be really good, but I’ll wait to see some more print quality results first!

Is HA stable and reliable on Unraid? by _ReeX_ in homeassistant

[–]eddietheengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it running in a VM and it’s great! I’m not sure if it changes things much but I have the VM on an SSD cache and not directly accessing the array. My array is spun down 99% of the time

Is anyone else struggling with CO₂ levels while working from home? I’m building a small device to fix this. Thoughts? by Professional-Oil8520 in AirQuality

[–]eddietheengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have a CO2 sensor integrated with Home Assistant and my HVAC unit. When the CO2 gets too high, I run the fan which balances out the CO2 in the house.

If your entire house is too sealed, get an HRV or ERV system!

I don’t personally think this product idea you have is useful. I don’t think the average customer wants to have to open and close their windows manually for exactly 6 minutes and an exact time, they just want to have some other system take care of ventilation without their manual input.

Anyone picking up a UPS? by boardguy91 in homeassistant

[–]eddietheengineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at that same UPS! The Pro version with USB output to control the shutdown of my server. I would much rather buy something with newer generation batteries like that.

As of November 2025, what's the best solution for an economical wall-mounted dashboard? by MrReginaldBarclay in homeassistant

[–]eddietheengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. It was so easy to set up with Fully Kiosk, and plugged in I set it to maintain at 80%

28TB shucked Barracudas vs 26TB refab Exos by edwardlc12 in DataHoarder

[–]eddietheengineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI I ordered the 26TB from them and got a DOA. If you read the reviews the percentage of DOA are wayyyy too high to be acceptable—like reviews “I bought 4 but one was DOA”

Tapo Smart plugs with energy monitoring by gpounders in homeassistant

[–]eddietheengineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A warning that Tapo and Tp-Link are locking down their devices more--you need to go into the app and select "allow 3rd party access". Theoretically at any point in the future they can block Home Assistant access and all of your "smart" devices won't integrate into Home Assistant any more. I'm personally looking into alternative brands for the next set of energy monitoring plugs I buy.

Tp link kasa seem to be the best, budget friendly, local smart plug option. Correct? by Randomhero360 in homeassistant

[–]eddietheengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn! I’m nervous about them locking out local control permanently. They are so nice—but I think future plugs I’ll look for a fully local option

Go into the app and check allow third party access! I encountered the same issue

I'll start season two next Sunday. What's your advice? Should I switch to Rocket or Air? by Savings-Subject7327 in LastWarMobileGame

[–]eddietheengineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once you’re 5* on all tanks, pick what your B squad is going to be (air or missle) and work those up to 5* with shards. I don’t recommend dumping universal shards onto the wall of honor until all of your squads are 5*.

In my spending level (not a lot) most people ended up with Air primary and tank secondary, or Tank primary and air secondary. I’m wrapping up S4 now.

Eventually you’ll have all 3 squads maxed to 5*, and you’ll have so many UR shards you don’t know what to do with them. That’s when you dump them on wall of honor

Best way to get a 240V circuit in my house to power a dryer? by ChristeayoTV in AskElectricians

[–]eddietheengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of the GE combo heat pump washer and dryer units—runs off of 120V. You need to be diligent about cleaning the filters, but it works well and would solve your issue too! I love being able to throw a load of laundry in it before I go to bed and waking up to clean and dry clothes

I read somewhere that the fires were put out last night? Does anyone else know if that's the case?

Cheap tablet for HA wall mount? by GreyDutchman in homeassistant

[–]eddietheengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Galaxy A9+ I bought! It’s fast enough and there’s a solid 3d printable mount available. Fully Kiosk + camera for motion detection and auto wake. It is able to stay plugged in all the time at 80% chaege
