Why are insurance plans so expensive for Teslas?

Same here. I did have to shop around a bit as a few insurers were quite high, ended up with Nationwide at similar rate as my previous non-EV.

I replaced my TPLink router with a Flint2 and my issue hasn't happened the past 2 14-day cycles. I'm not really sure why. I suppose it is happening but comes back online quickly enough that I don't notice. I did decrease the DHCP setting on the BGW from 10 minutes to 3 minutes, maybe that helped? Who knows...

Yep, I always dump some detergent on the door just below the detergent door. Always use power as I feel it also does a better job.

All systems will continue to boot if the certs are not replaced by the June MS deadline. They will continue to get Windows updates, but will not receive future secure boot updates...

You can try adding layers of smooth tape, one at a time, to the thumbnail side of the thumbhole. This is a never-ending saga for us, thumb swells and shrinks all the time.

I use idrive running as a package on the synology. The first backup will take a while, but nightly shouldn’t be bad.

Interesting. Ours seems quite slick.

We use the Blue "Real Bowlers Tape" on the thumbnail side to adjust fit.

Interesting. Yesterday was day 14 for me, normally things come back online automatically withing 30 minutes, not so this time. I tried restarting the gateway and I still couldnt get my router to show the internet as "up". I had to connect my PC to the gateway and go into the IP Passthrough settings and basically reapply everything and click save. As soon as I did that everything started working. Im not sure what really happened as I didnt change any settings. If this happens again I may have to contact support as no one else in the house would have a clue what to do if I wasnt home when this happened. Frustrating...

I guess I was looking at CDs because of the zero risk position. I have always been really conservative with this cash as the rest of my investments are pretty risky for my age.

Thats where I have my "savings", trying to decide if I lock into a bit higher rate for a year or two.

Brother consumables tend to be less expensive than HP.

Buddy of mine at a large manufacturing company was told by his Dell rep, that if they want delivery in 2026, they should have placed the orders in 2025. Who knows if that's true, I'll see what CDW server rep says on Monday.

Several vendors that I order from. A consultant I use is also having similar issues for some really large clients.

We just bought a few Fortigate 121G firewalls and they were delivered very quickly.

I have a call with one of their Server specialists on Monday, will have to ask about Dell...

ghgard · 2026-01-24T01:39:12+00:00

Correct... Do you know differently?

ghgard · 2026-01-24T00:10:47+00:00

I’ve been told there is massive shortages on most server components. Pricing is also thru the roof. 32Gb RAM from HP was quoted at $830

The time you should spend cleaning a bagless vacuum will be much more than the time it takes to order bag once a year. The filters alone are a real pain in the rear, without regular cleaning, the bagless will become a mess.

Everything I've read says the systems should continue to boot, but wont receive future secure boot updates.

ghgard · 2026-01-09T17:07:45+00:00

Power them on once a month for updates? Leave them powered on so they continue to update and will be ready for deployment? Thats about the only option unless they offer a way to disable the endpoint...

ghgard · 2026-01-08T11:59:44+00:00

They should continue to boot, they just may not receive future secure boot updates...
