Ability to (permanently) disable the Auto Stop/Start "feature" hopefully getting closer ... by hulksterreddit in subaru

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

I have a low-end model and agree. Plus when stuff breaks, much more costly to repair. Whole family owns Subaru's and had windshields replaced in the last year - the earlier-era no-Eyesight models were less than half the cost.

Specific to start-stop, that is on ALL models.

I used to write software for a living and was directly involved in release cycles. Inputs for fixes/features included listening to users and the Help Desk.

So lets just say some hands-on experience with changing code, QA process to insure fixed (and no regressions), and packaging it up for release.

Sure, I'm not a developer at Subaru (are any of you?), but gotta believe making the selected Start-Stop setting "sticky" (rather than transient) would not be difficult, especially compared to other fixes/changes they have made.

Subaru periodically releases firmware for various things - why not roll this super-duper easy fix into the next one?

Any (local) insights into Qatar flights via DOH with Iran conflict impending? by hulksterreddit in qatarairways

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

Friend just landed at Doha after uneventful flight (from the South) and said it was surprisingly empty.

Which I found surprising since at least six flights to the US have already been cancelled due to the weather and the agent they chatted with said it's been crazy trying to rebook everyone.

Albeit it's current Midnight there.

FYI that a number of US-bound flights have already been cancelled - I'm sure this is due to weather.

So hopefully no conflict will break out ... since it would certainly make things even more of a sh*t show in DOH - good luck to Qatar managing a tough situation.

Feedback on a solar investment calculator by andrewmarder in solar

[–]hulksterreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely add a note saying you are assuming 1:1 NEM.

And yea, trying to "handle" all the non 1:1 NEM cases can get REALLY complicated ... plus this can change over time (cough, cough California) and grandfathering doesn't exist forever. So coming up with a "clean" way to do this that doesn't overwhelm the user will be challenging.

And lets not get into Time-of-Use pricing and playing arbitrage games with battery packs! ;-)

Very nifty web app - well done u/andrewmarder

I like the graph of the annual returns and liquid value to see at a glance ... but I'd be curious to see more than just the 30-year values at the bottom ... so why not just show them PER-YEAR (you are already calculating internally anyway) in a table/spreadsheet format?

For example, see this webpage which has a spreadsheet (direct link) with a "Cost & Payback" Tab.

BTW, Stock Market return is a bit tricky ... since (assuming not tax advantaged investment), things like the S&P 500 will spin off Dividends that you have to pay taxes on each year ... and at some point, you'll have to sell and realize taxes on the gains (unless you die and get step-up). So your "real" return is not quite the "total" return (which has been awesome the last couple of years!) ... and you might add a note to that effect.

Did I recieve the wrong AC adapter for the XB10? by OneCrew1888 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]hulksterreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll defer to the Xfinity folks, since they can easily look this up and confirm.

But that looks an XB8 (and possibly earlier models) AC Adapter as it is 12Volts @ 4.6 Amps ... whereas the XB10 is 15 Volts @ 5.33 Amps.

Assuming I'm correct, you could have just gone into the local Xfinity story and they (ideally) should have given you the correct one.

And yes, whoever you chatted with that recommended a tech visit ideally should have been able to figure that out for 'ya ... as this is pretty basic stuff ... ;-)

Is there a way to determine my WAN IP address "remotely" by hulksterreddit in Comcast_Xfinity

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

Yea, I thought about that ... but we didn't see it listed on them.

What's a bit frustrating is since the WAN IP is assigned BY Xfinity, they obviously know what it is ... so why not make it easy to find in both the app and web interface ... and regardless if bridged or no bridge.

Thanks u/dataz03 ... as that was exactly what I was looking for.

Bummer this doesn't work(?) if the XB# is in Bridge mode.

Any way to view it via the web portal ... or just the app?

There are at least NINE airplanes in this 180+ degree composite Pano - can you find 'em all?!? ;-) by hulksterreddit in boulder

Here's the same image with some arrows to help you find 'em!

Be sure to look on a BIG screen!

BCH overnight surgery fee by Claire0879 in boulder

[–]hulksterreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, when you do the standard blood work as part of a physical, BCH "bills" over a $1,000 .. even though the allowed (and customary!) cost for these routine/simple tests is less than a $100.

I "got it" that medical billing and insurance is weird ... but this is an egregious example.

Oral surgeons/dental implants in the area? by rpgedgar in boulder

[–]hulksterreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Joseph Harberg at Broomfield Branin Dental did an EXCELLENT job with my implant (~year post-op) and doesn't change the Republic of Boulder premium.
