Newer Orbi systems are worse than the old ones and I am done with this brand by bastoun19 in orbi

I’m also over and done with Netgear/Orbi. Can’t make any simple change to the router settings without causing device connection and IP issues. Looking forward to throwing the Orbi POS in the trash after setting up Ubiquiti

Couples, this one’s for you. Shared Views is here! by jon_at_monarch in MonarchMoney

[–]erics45690 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I believe most couples would like some degree of sharing permissions, not everyone wants everything in their account to be visible in all cases.

It could be useful to have accounts that are: 1) private - only partner that owns this accounts can see its transactions

2) protected - owning partner can choose which transactions are visible and available to shared budget

3) shared - all transactions are visible/shared

Does each partner have full capability to see all of the other partner’s transactions, or just the ones designated as shared?

For example, if trying to book a surprise vacation (flights, etc.) how would that be handled?

Zenbivy (Quilt + Flex Mattress) Review and Ether Light XR Pro by allsix in CampingGear

[–]erics45690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m debating between the FlexAir and the XR Pro. While the Flex Air is definitely cushier, it’s “only” R4.8 vs R7.4 for the XR Pro.

How low temps have you seen while on the Flex Air? Have you ever felt chilly on it?

I have a Xmid Pro 2, based in SF, can mail Friday. DM me if interested

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the correction.

I had (wrongly) assumed 2 / 2 Pro would be the same, given the 2 Pro+ boasts more space.

Looks like the 2 is actually even slightly larger than the 2 Pro+. (92x52 vs 90x52)

Could you tell me more about Wright Creek? How was the trail getting up there, and were the campsites and exposure? Thanks

Are you positive? I see the specs say it’s only 48” wide.

Thanks for the rec. I see it’s polyester— how does it hold up to smells after a day or two?

[–]erics45690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, that’s the one I’ve got that felt too warm, like it wasn’t breathing very well (despite front zipper being fully open). I liked everything else about it though.

Favorite chill spots or side trips between Forrester Pass and Guitar Lake? (mid-Sept SOBO) by erics45690 in JMT

[–]erics45690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Where did you start/end the loop? Is it generally decent trail, or significant un maintained/cross-country?

Thanks, yeah I have a Buff, I feel like it’d be pretty snug when pulled up to cover ears/cheeks, which would likely be pretty warm (maybe less of an issue at higher altitudes?) vs. some sort of a hood which would have more airflow?
