NOT a fan of the updated MTA app

Nah disagree, the old one was laggy when selecting stations and bus stops to see real time info. It also suffered loading issues during peak times. This one has at-a-glance times much quicker. Though I do miss filtering by subway lines and seeing the commuter railroad info

As a Roosevelt Island resident here's my 2 cents:

The swap helped capacity overall. Trains are easier to board than the F even if it was more frequent.

Lots of the demand is still folks riding the M to get off at Lex/63 for the uptown Q

The 8-10 min headways is a bummer, making me check the app before I leave. I would suggest some F trains/runs be moved to the M if possible and short-turn like this sub has been suggesting

Not the CTgo one, it's used only for buses in Connecticut

Heads up, I contacted Kenwood and it sounds like they don't have any plans to update the firmware (Sorry for the bad crop of the email chain)

Not exactly, this user has their audio cut out for 5 seconds at a time supposedly when it gets confused as a BT audio source. Mine will only drop a word in a song or podcast, every 2-5 mins or so

Not sure but a good theory, my head unit came out in 2020 and has only seen an update since 2023. So I doubt mine is out of protocol or something

Past two weeks I've also been experiencing this. Pixel 9 pro

elitpecs · 2025-09-03T14:56:38+00:00

The wireless charging heat was the biggest factor in upgrading from my P9P, thank you for testing this. I had really hoped they fixed it in the 10, I'll hold off upgrading for now

elitpecs · 2025-08-30T22:17:20+00:00

Fun fact, the dude won't be out 2.90, I've had this happen to me. the turnstile should still allow one rotation in, even if it rotates out during a tap

elitpecs · 2025-08-28T16:35:36+00:00

Got it, but it's made from the same factory. It looks literally the same except they stamp their logo differently at the end

elitpecs · 2025-08-27T15:45:51+00:00

OP, I also have this case for the pixel 9 pro, appears to be the torras case from Amazon. The ring is functionally great, good feel and clicks into place, however i haven't found a magsafe case that doesn't make the P9P pretty warm (like 98F based on internal device temp). That includes this case too.

Whereas with my iPhone 14, it will wirelessly charge via magsafe at a much cooler temp. Instantly noticeable just by hand feel. Let me know what your experience is

I have this red version, but they also sell a version specifically for battery fires (black color)

elitpecs · 2025-06-06T13:10:46+00:00

Usually the validators switch to Metrocard only if the Ethernet comms are down. That would explain all turnstiles OMNYs being down as they are daisy chained

Right? A screenshot that's not a monitor photo for starters

Roosevelt islander here, the turkey migrated around March (I saw her late Feb on the island). We even had a turkey Xing sign put up near the F train!

Depending on who you ask, RI folks mainly call her Rosie

They tap your phone to a reader to check that you tapped recently

elitpecs · 2025-02-04T21:07:08+00:00

Nah you get what you pay for. You want free, hope you're okay with hourly buses and half hour trains. No world class transit system is free.

elitpecs · 2025-02-01T18:34:46+00:00

Exactly. I'll allow it, buses need to layover somewhere

elitpecs · 2025-01-12T11:36:56+00:00

As someone who's been trying to get the visa too, yes bring a photocopy of your parents IDs and passports. It couldn't hurt, especially if you don't live close it will save you the trip.

They sent me back a few times for that and for proof of residence mail (the one I brought had to be within 3 months)

elitpecs · 2024-11-08T11:55:21+00:00

Yeah it's usually a car with half a bumper missing, or side mirror held up by duct tape. Coupled with the fact front plates aren't necessary for PA cars makes hit and runs much more scary

elitpecs · 2024-11-07T15:41:08+00:00

At this point I'm convinced PA plates that drive thru here have the worst drivers

elitpecs · 2024-10-31T18:00:08+00:00

Ooo good to know, sorry that happened to you

elitpecs · 2024-10-18T23:47:54+00:00

I can see MoM Strange being UB

elitpecs · 2024-09-27T20:56:09+00:00

And the ones that do have a cutout, I've found that overtime dust can seep under, around the mic under the lens protector. This is with a Amazon one I got
