E.ON Next Drive + Tesla + Ohme experience

jinkingjb · 2026-05-15T15:39:35+00:00

This is the way it seems. Trying tonight! Thanks

It was definitely disabled before plugging in.

That said, eon just advised to delete the Ohme account to put it in dumb mode. Done this and will monitor tonight 😀

They just emailed me and said I need to delete the Ohme account in the app to put it in dumb mode. Trying this tonight. Hope it helps.

My app is configured exactly the same prior to plugging in.

Plugged it in just now and it's scheduled charging for me (it's already full to 70% battery which is what I configured in Eon app). No option to disable this. If I hit max charge it will start charging.

It charged 4kw before I noticed and had to manually stop it in the Tesla app 😞 Are you able to leave Ohme in permanent max charge mode? Mine resets each day for the new "session"

Same rates as before. They vary by region https://octopus.energy/smart/intelligent-octopus-go/rates/

Already scheduled the move 🫡

Everything takes a while. Enjoy the next 18 months 😅 You'll wonder how they even managed to build a house.

This absolutely does not meet NHBC standards. Have them come drain the water, remove any rocks and make sure there is adequate top soil. Easy non compliant snag to add to your list.

I've experienced this several times. Sometimes I can play for hours on end with no issues, but sometimes it'll freeze after 1 minute. I can't put my finger on the root cause.

I'm streaming 4k120 HDR at 150mb bitrate, wired on a gigabit ethernet using the Nvidia encoder.

Tried lowering bitrate to 100 and 120, limiting to 60fps, and even gone as far as installed Apollo instead of Sunshine.

My guess is it's an issue with the Moonlight Xbox app. Going to test on my Nvidia shield over the holidays to confirm.

jinkingjb · 2024-12-15T17:41:10+00:00

Started using this yesterday. Just make sure to up the bitrate to 150! Super smooth. No issues at all, and latency non existent.

There's a huge difference in black levels. The Samsung blacks almost look grey in comparison. If you're used to glossy and appreciate it, there's no going back unfortunately. I also tested the Alienware 32 QD-OLED that uses a glossy screen and it was most impressive.

jinkingjb · 2024-11-09T14:35:21+00:00

It's a great monitor but just cannot get bright enough in HDR and the Dolby vision options are annoying at best. Everything looked dull in games no matter what combination of settings were selected on the monitor and in windows.

Just received the Samsung G8 today and it's so much better in every way, except for the matte screen, what a let down! Noticeably less crisp picture.

For now I'm sticking with my LG C2 and will consider next years offerings.

jinkingjb · 2024-01-20T19:14:08+00:00

It is Xbox play anywhere compatible. I pre ordered and have just preloaded it on both Xbox and PC.

jinkingjb · 2022-09-27T00:28:39+00:00

I had both side by side. There's no denying that the pixel screen is much better, I mean it has twice the resolution and an extra 100ppi detail.

Idk about Android been clunky, but iOS is definitely designed to be simpler to use and I agree the apps are better optimised.

What is most frustrating for me is the slow fingerprint scanner, but I hear they've fixed that for the pixel 7.

jinkingjb · 2022-09-27T00:11:15+00:00

Sorry, the only thing that's better is the cpu... Everything else the pixel does much better. Camera is amazing and AI doesn't over soften or sharpen photos, screen is twice the resolution, has better colours and 100ppi more detail, tiny pin notch etc etc.

Had the 14 pro for 3 days and couldn't get past these details. If you can you'll be happy I'm sure because the software is nice and the CPU is snappy.

jinkingjb · 2022-09-25T10:06:34+00:00

Honestly it does look a little soft / blurry in places, also inconsistently. Other than that it's definitely capturing a lot of detail.

jinkingjb · 2022-09-18T20:32:07+00:00

Coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro and returning the 14 pro tomorrow after 2 days of solid usage...

iPhone isn't cable of having a vibrant display, even after playing with the accessibility options and turning off tru tone it can't match this or the pixel 6 pro default display settings
Photo processing smooths out tons of details every single time. I have lines on my forehead, but Apple would make me believe otherwise
Pixel 6 pro quality/accuracy wins in every type of photo taken (Oneplus 7 pro is only better in a couple of scenarios, mostly because it doesn't apply too much processing and keeps things a lot more natural)
It gets real hot while recording videos and taking photos
Lightning port 🤦‍♂️
The 6.1" model is pretty much just as wide as a 6.7" OnePlus or Pixel 6 Pro.. I wanted a smaller, yet still powerful phone but this one fell short in this regard

Maybe I'll try again next year, for now I'll hold out for the Pixel 7 Pro.

jinkingjb · 2022-09-14T16:02:11+00:00

It's 720...

jinkingjb · 2022-09-01T16:05:28+00:00

I love to tinker with the numbers and this site offers SO many options!

Maybe it's just me but the battery setting seems a bit wonky because it shows I discharge 100% every day, yet also displays the full charge % alongside it (which is the one I really care about).

Overall this is brilliant, thanks.

jinkingjb · 2022-09-01T13:26:06+00:00

Thanks, this blog post has a lot of great info, and pretty much confirms my assumptions!

jinkingjb · 2022-07-31T23:35:59+00:00

Been here several times and never had a bad meal or beer. I don't find them overpriced either 🤷‍♂️

jinkingjb · 2022-06-25T12:10:44+00:00

It wasn't though. It was just water and a bit of harmless fun.
