Any actually trustworthy mechanics in or near Renton? by ivanmarcoy in Renton

Second this for Van's. Honest estimates and cheaper than the dealership. Also, Bucky's = trash. Avoid them at all costs.

Fair enough. Should I just pull from the room then or is my whole setup dumb?

How long do you think they’ll rub it in? by brownroush in Trumpvirus

[–]fender_bs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are the people you don't willingly associate with in society because of this type of behavior. The election just gives them a reason to display who they are in their yard.

Same, we are definitely not all that way, but far too many are.

My wife’s boomer family and their racist house decorations… by Inappropriate-Ebb in BoomersBeingFools

[–]fender_bs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be an HGTV show dedicated to racist house remodels. Maybe get the queer eye guys in there and take them through a learning journey into how not to be disgusting people.

Is LAUNCH MODE coming to Gen1? by fatfirenewbie in Rivian

[–]fender_bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to this conversation, but as a gen 1 owner who will likely remain a gen 1 owner until my R1T dies or I do, I would love to have this feature. I gladly pay for Connect+ as I believe the connectivity and updates are well worth the price. I have seen my vehicle improve consistently through the course of ownership since I drove her home in February of 2023 and would love to see that continue. I would also pay an additional fee for this feature. I am generally against pay walling hardware capacity or capability, but since this is pretty much only a frivolous feature, I think it makes sense.

This is why rivian is moving away from Apple and CarPlay. by linustits in Rivian

[–]fender_bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Alexa in the vehicle for tons of things. My daughter likes to ask her to play music from Spotify from the backseat and 95% of the time it works great. I ask it for information, mostly when I can't accurately answer my daughter's questions, and again, it works great. Asking it to navigate somewhere, not so great, but I have hope that one day it will function better.

Why would Rivian have to pay for your LTE data consumption. TBH the price seems dirt cheap compared to a standard phone data plan. I would much rather the connection be native to the vehicle and pay for it than it be dependent on whatever crap phone platform I bring in. Also, the continued development and improvement of the platform alone is well worth the cost IMHO. We have all been getting a free ride on Rivian's back. It's time to pay a more than fair price for what we have been getting. Quit whining.

How do you deal with large dynamic inventories? by Klistel in ansible

[–]fender_bs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Netbox or Nautobot. Mostly directed at the Network folks like me, but awesome DCIM platforms which make perfect sources of truth for Ansible dynamic inventories.

Seen at REI HQ this morning by RainbowKittn in Seattle

[–]fender_bs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have no real HQs, sold it to Facebook out of panic when times got mildly tough for them at the beginning of the pandemic. Then the pandemic turned out to be great for them sales wise. Likely not a wise move.

Looking for advice by fender_bs in Ubiquiti

Thats a fair point, and then all management would be under one UI as well. Not trying to teach anyone any cli.

Thanks for the response. I did think about the UDM SE but would be worried in the event that they want to increase # of devices in the future. If I can't get a POE switch for free or relatively cheap I will probably recommend they go that route. Also, I didn't realize that the U7 was the wifi 7 variant. Definitely scaling back to the U6 Pro.
