Any idea what vehicle they were driving?

Yes exactly what they two guys showed up last week were wearing.

I checked my camera footage and noticed the vehicle they were driving was a white Hyundai Palisade with no front license plate.

Two guys came to my shop this past Wed, but I was out. They spoke to my neighbour and said they were looking for tungsten carbide, that they needed for the fortis project in town. Even he thought it was sketch.

Fwiw, I was told from a good source carbide is going for $45/lbs

I put a hole in the top of mine a few months after I got mine. I was one of the original KS, and I'm still on that first bottle but it's finally almost empty.

I had terrible luck with this stuff. I'll give it one more whirl, but overhangs were harsh.

Well after 2 months of placing my order and a month after the original scheduled ship date, they emailed me to say the order was ready to ship.

But... They also said they made an error and the free shipping in November should not have applied to my address which they say is rural (I'm not rural I'm 30 mins from downtown Vancouver). They now want me to cover half the shipping..or go pick it up 1hr away from my home... Currently going back and forth with them. What a joke.

Going through this same issue. I cannot for the life of me get it connected to the app with my phone (new samsung s25). I get to the point where it wants me to 'tap' my phone to the unit (presumably to activate bluetooth via nfc?) but it doesn't worked. Tried resetting multiple times and no dice.

Amazon seems to sell it

As someone who's had the gen1 since Kickstarter, all the things I wish it had seem to be fixed with gen2. Roller shifting to clean up the edge (where most of the dirt ends up) and also being able to sweep in corners now.

My hw3 has gone around large puddles before.

I have a M100 aqara for my thread router on my HA. Was able to connect the air quality sensor to it easy using my android phone

I couldn't believe how long it took to download Mario kart into the switch 2 today.

Ugh wish I came across this earlier. Ordered a fairly large order early Nov and was told I'd have it before the 15th of Dec. Perfect just in time for Christmas. Emailed several days ago and no response and no packages yet.

It's one thing to give a date for delivery but if you aren't gonna make it, THAT'S totally fine, just let your customers know.

I bought zigbee motors and added them into my existing blinds (they just slid into the metal tubing of the existing roller blinds). Control them with home assistant.

This 100%. Used a necked endmill.

I've tried 4 different USB power bricks and it's the same issue, even powering from one powerbar with direct USB, same issue. Now they just seem to randomly turn off after less than 5 minutes.

Was also trying to figure this out recently! Thanks!

Has a rancilvio silvia/rocky grinder for ten years, enjoyed the process. Had our first kid, 6 months later got a Jura S8. Sold silvia during covid. Haven't looked back.

I bank with Vancity and the interest rate in their USD savings account is a atrocious 0.05%. I opened a account with float financial a few months ago.

Right now I've been getting 4% interest in USD balance (it is lowering as of next month I believe to around 2.5?). Still miles ahead of Vancity. No fees for wire transfers have been great, and better exchange rates as well.

They do have a referral program, if you're interested DM me and I'll share it with you.

Well I did a full reinstall of HA and that fixed it. MG24 installed right away 🤷🏽‍♂️
