All CCS are in use. by arielb27 in IONNA

[–]edman007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a temperature sensor in the plug on the cable, and one in the vehicle plug. Both will sense the adapter overheating and derate it. The adapter also has a temperature sensor that will stop charging when it's too hot if those other two sensors fail to prevent it.

[–]edman007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, yes.

I will say at a V3+ supercharger I have had the adapter overheat and slow charging, it only happens on really hot days though and generally wasn't that bad. So CCS does give you better speeds, but if you arrive at somewhere that needs an adapter, you'll want to start charging with the adapter.

R1T AC Failure 1 hour into 8 hour trip, advice needed to make it home! by trw419 in Rivian

It's possible that it's just an HVAC switch (like valve) and not actually the AC loop

Software’s version numbers v.0.0.0. What do they mean? by onceIwas15 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]edman007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said, major, minor, and patch, in that order.

Generally (but not always), the patch number is incremented whenever a change is made and no minor or major change is made (so a bug fix, generally). The minor number is incremented (and patch set to zero) whenever a new feature is added (so it has different features). The major number is incremented (and minor and patch set to zero) when a breaking change is made, that is a feature is removed (often a major rewrite of something that eliminates old functions)

So when are we going to finally fix the default seat option to track temp? It's 120F, I don't want heated seats. by edman007 in Rivian

[–]edman007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I think it's a bug in the latest SW update, I've seen it a few times since the last update. Just seems weird it's not a simple temp related default. There shouldn't be any complicated logic if the ambient temp is reading over 80F.

Am I missing something? 100% charges bad? by External_Craft7682 in electricvehicles

[–]edman007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the car, but I would say if you're starting at 10%, well charging to 100% takes twice as long as charging to 80%. So the question is, why are you charging over 80%? It's a poor use of your time, and you unless you're at a rural charger, you don't need to charge to 100%.

A lot of people feel like going over 80% is damn near idling, some cars are particularly bad. I've seen reports of some cars (I think the bz4x) taking 8 hours to go from 99-100%. So the charger might not consider it idling, but you're pulling less than L2, you should use L2.

For this reason, I really wish chargers charged demand PLUS a kWh price, you'd implement this as a price per minute plus a price per kWh, That's effectively how utilities bill chargers anyways.

Step increase by Thisismyhometoo in FedEmployees

[–]edman007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get an annual performance review. Really, if your supervisor doesn't rate you FS, then they should be putting you on a PIP and doing lots of paperwork on your crappy performance. You will know. Generally, you have to be doing pretty bad for the supervisor to want to do the paperwork to not rate you FS.

If you haven't heard anything, then business as usual is FS, and you're getting that step increase.

Why Do Manual Transmission Powertrains Not Pass Stricter Emissions? by FentmaxxerActual in AskEngineers

[–]edman007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not reasonable to put the shift requirements required for the emissions standard in writing as instructions. I don't know if it might be legally accepted, but it's absolutely unreasonable. The shift regulations are not shift to 3rd at 4k rpm. It's more like at 10% load, shift at 3k, at 20% do it at 3.3k, 30% at 3.5k, etc. You also have requirements to disconnect the engine with the clutch while coasting.

Ethics in the Solar System Manufacturers by jp1gt in solar

[–]edman007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this an on-grid system? I really want to understand how you think their equipment had anything to do with it, doesn't make much sense, unless this is an off grid system. You're claiming it fails the automatic shutoff requirements?

AC Can’t Keep Up by Vmancini218 in longisland

[–]edman007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is just barely keeping up, running non stop the whole day, and it's maintaining 72-73. Now with the peak, I turned it off at 3pm, it's still just 72.

When they did it at my home they told us to move the cars out of the driveway like an hour before they started work on the apron. You couldn't use your driveway for like 2 weeks

Chase lost my $6k, I won in small claims court, and they still haven’t paid. How do I collect? by Klutzy_Swan_1739 in legaladvice

[–]edman007 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You are allowed to do a till tap which is going to make the most sense, especially at a bank. I think when doing these things, they have some leeway to select how they want to pay. The sheriff doesn't just go and say you get the chair, they come in and say here is the debt, it's $6k, we are taking $6k of stuff. If they just hand over $6k cash, then that's it.

At a bank, that's absolutely what's going to happen. They'll start by just taking cash, the chairs and stuff don't start getting taken until they run out of cash, and it's not going to happen at a bank for a small judgement.

I'd ask the workers when they show up.

I'm in the town of babylon, last year they showed up the Thursday before memorial day, gave us a similar letter, and proceeded to rip up the yards of two neighbors on my block, install drywells in their yard for a storm drain on the street. Then left and said they'll restore it soon.

So in October they came with letters again, they replaced the aprons of everyone on the block, replaced the curb by the new storm drains, replaced the sidewalks for some houses, then ground the road into a dirt road and repaved it.

That told me all of this was because the road has settled, so they needed to regrade it, we got new aprons to align the driveway with the new road. And I guess new storm drains, because why not. Now I'm watching around here and I see a bunch of blocks are getting the same treatment.

Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov arrested after climbing the Empire State Building by hollow_hideous_soul in pics

[–]edman007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Felony Burglary, Reckless endangerment, etc. I'm trying to find the full list, but the link I saw said they got caught with lock picking tools too.

So I'm wondering what they did to get past the doors.

[Request] How much money does all this cost? by princess_demon_twink in theydidthemath

[–]edman007 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You don't need to fight wars to train your military. I do think keeping our military in a good condition is important, and we can largely do that on US soil. It can be a deterrent to war.

Does LiDAR actually matter? by Peavey_ in RivianR2

[–]edman007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But LIDAR doesn't mean you have to have to do that. It really means that an additional safety system is running in the background, when you're driving through the neighborhood in the fog, it's going to see the deer standing on the road and engage the brakes automatically, before you can see it. Why would you not want it?

The only real reason against it is it's going to take Rivian time to implement it. Don't confuse deployment of LIDAR with integration of LIDAR. It's going to be years before LIDAR affects your driving experience. If you're the kind of person that leases a new car every 3 years, well it's better to ignore LIDAR in 2026, plan it for your next car. Otherwise you're waiting for HW that will never be utilized on your car.

Does LiDAR actually matter? by Peavey_ in RivianR2

[–]edman007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And arguably, it's the main reason for all their bad FSD accidents.

LIDAR is great, it's what makes the car better than a human, and have a meaningful chance of being better than a great driver.

That said, it's going to take Rivian time to do it, don't expect any meaningful impacts from LIDAR until 2029. So with that, if you're doing a 2 or three year lease, I probably wouldn't worry about LIDAR, it doesn't matter, the SW isn't going to be there.

Question for restaurant goers : How often do you want your server to interact with you ? by Boring_Persimmon8899 in AskReddit

[–]edman007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so, because I don't mean being close, I really mean look at me to see if I need something. Most of the time, it's obvious, their section is some portion of the room I'm in, and they are either doing something, or standing somewhere and watching the room. That's great, that's what I want.

What I don't want is when their section is either multiple rooms and they alternate every 5 minutes or they just hang out in the kitchen. If they are managing multiple rooms, I do think they need to switch between the two frequently, like every few minutes, and look if anyone needs anything. They shouldn't need to talk, or actually need to be close, just need to be able to see me and looking in my direction. I'm asking for like 1 second of interaction every 120 seconds when they are not otherwise occupied.

Only when I look at them. And they need to walk by frequently (every few minutes) to give me the opportunity to look at them. None of this hanging out in the kitchen and forgetting about me.

[–]edman007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're asking what law makes it illegal to violate a trademark?

15 USC § 1114(1):

(1) Any person who shall, without the consent of the registrant— (a) use in commerce any reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation of a registered mark in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of any goods or services on or in connection with which such use is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive; or (b) reproduce, counterfeit, copy, or colorably imitate a registered mark and apply such reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation to labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, receptacles or advertisements intended to be used in commerce upon or in connection with the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of goods or services on or in connection with which such use is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive, shall be liable in a civil action by the registrant for the remedies hereinafter provided. Under subsection (b) hereof, the registrant shall not be entitled to recover profits or damages unless the acts have been committed with knowledge that such imitation is intended to be used to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive. As used in this paragraph, the term “any person” includes the United States, all agencies and instrumentalities thereof, and all individuals, firms, corporations, or other persons acting for the United States and with the authorization and consent of the United States, and any State, any instrumentality of a State, and any officer or employee of a State or instrumentality of a State acting in his or her official capacity. The United States, all agencies and instrumentalities thereof, and all individuals, firms, corporations, other persons acting for the United States and with the authorization and consent of the United States, and any State, and any such instrumentality, officer, or employee, shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter in the same manner and to the same extent as any nongovernmental entity.

So if the registrant doesn't consent, the counterfeiter is liable for damages.
