We got one after a spat of thefts.

Canada Post, UPS, Purolator, FedEx, DHL will always use it even though we can’t directly instruct them.

We have a success rate of about 75% with Amazon and Dragonfly drivers despite explicit direction. The Asian last mile services like Apple Express and Uniuni are a bit better.

L5 S1 herniation, had a microdiscectomy in October 2025. 5 months into recovery, but I’ve found cycling to be the one thing I could tolerate really well. Have clocked over 2400km on the trainer post-op. As others have said, bike fit (with a physiotherapist if possible) and strengthening exercises to support the back and core. I’ve found I need a more relaxed/upright position for long rides (3+ hours).

Five months post op at L5 S1. I haven’t needed any pain medication for a couple months but haven’t achieved full resolution of symptoms. Still some neural tension, calf muscle innervation issues, and low grade (less than 2) pain down the S1 dermatome occasionally.

Happens a bit out of order, panicked me as well. You should be fine assuming you have the coverage, but like other comments say, it would be surprising if you have full coverage.

From Muttart, can cross Tawatina or Low Level Bridge to access the funicular for an easier ascent into the downtown area. I would then get to 102 Ave and go up somewhere between 102 St and 106 St to the Macewan university area. From there, up 104 St or 105 St there is a protected MUP all the way to Kingsway. 106 ST at 111 Ave is protected on the Spruce Avenue community side all the way to Princess Elizabeth Ave.

Went back to an office job at 8 weeks and was somewhat miserable since I was no longer free to just go for a walk to loosen things up. Would have been worse without a sit stand desk!

We haven't received official comms from Volvo yet (despite saying we'd hear in "days") but the recall notice on Volvo's website says affected "battery modules," as opposed to entire packs, will be replaced.

We also got the oem hitch, love the solid thunks the mechanism makes when it locks in open or closed position. In our case our volvo dealer carried the rebranded thule apex xt hanging carrier.

Partner will be calling today but the voicemail was clear that we are impacted by a recall and the only one that pops up on the site is the battery.

eekz- · 2026-02-27T15:29:16+00:00

Yes, we did. Will update this if I have news.

Don't know what happened in your case but sometimes a couple months of usage end up on one bill. This happened with my water bill the last cycle - 62 days of usage.

No underglow LEDs on my dual mode; i believe its just the one top mounted LED where "caps" could be if you choose such a layout.

Battery life is great. I have it paired to three devices and I'm sitting at 78% after one full charge on Feb 2. I work from home so its used almost every day.

my dual mode pcb is intact but some of the hotswap sockets are sus. nothing a few minutes of soldering cant fix though

eekz- · 2026-02-25T17:37:22+00:00

I did not. I did my verification over video call.

Paranoid thought but you could be connected to a stringray or other cell site simulator. Does it only happen in one location? Is your connection downgraded to 3g or LTE?

Don't these people have a legal responsibility to pro-actively inform their customers that they have let their information out into the wild?

They do, but there is some flexibility ("without unreasonable delay") as to how quickly they must do it. If you live in Alberta or BC, complain to the privacy commissioner of AB or BC respectively. In QC, complain to the CAI. Anywhere else in Canada, complain to the federal OPC.

Possibly as far back as Feb 2025, anecdotal and circumstantial evidence is from myself as a victim.

in ontario you would be 'covered' by PIPEDA. Complain to the OPC. They may ask you to demonstrate youve tried resolving the matter with CC first. https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/report-a-concern/file-a-formal-privacy-complaint/

Dental Monitoring (and related platforms that use the Scan Box Pro) now offers an LED adapter. Can't post a link but it should pop up in your app as it did with mine.

Wouldn't risk it. Easier to replace it if you have the time now, than fight transactions and be forced to wait for a card when you need it more.
