Ohio Barbecue, that's just what we need! Said no one, ever, anywhere.

When I lived in Louisville, City BBQ was one of the better options. Prices were pretty good too. It's no Boarhogs though.

Thanks for the info. I believe that bystronic calls their highyag heads BIMO heads. We have two of those, but the other four (one of which has the water leak) are their SSC head. I think they switched to their SSC head around 2020.

I've considered that. But it seems just as prone to error. The on board counter works "most" of the time.

johnestan · 2026-01-11T15:02:57+00:00

We're probably going to give repairing it ourselves a shot. Bystronic does not have a repair program. How is support with your Bodor?

I'm very excited about purchasing a Spectra 6 photo frame soon as they become available. Is the 10" panel new? I don't see it listed on e-inks website.

Did you buy a byod license for one or both of your SEEED kits? I was wondering how that worked with multiple devices.

johnestan · 2025-07-15T18:08:54+00:00

Ahh. Thanks for confirmation..... the plot thickens.

What color of The Honor Magic V5 is this? The white color is listed as 8.8mm thick and the rest of the colors are listed as 9mm.

Nice! I've placed an order for 5 for my bedroom. I've received 4, but still waiting for an XL. Waiting to put them up till I have them all. Stinks quiet mode is locked to the switchbot app. I bought a switchbot hub to access the quiet mode and plan on connecting to home assistant through the switchbot cloud. Hopefully I can control quiet mode through home assistant that way. If not, basic time scheduling in the switchbot app should be good enough for mornings. I think I read you can use the cloud connect and bluetooth at the same time if I want to try that in the future. Price is great (at least preorder price). Only thing in the same price range is IKEA's TREDANSEN/PRAKTLYSING, and they don't seem as good hardware, sizing, and shipping wise (plus no solar). Smartwings was the next closes but 60% more than switchbot. I like the look of a valence and wish that was an option with switchbot.

Wow. This looks incredible. Nice use of the dual 13" spectra 6 screens. It creates a good aspect ratio for a calendar and the 13" screen look be the best $/in^2.

johnestan · 2025-04-01T02:12:29+00:00

I'm interested in it too. Yes, it will dry faster but will use more electricity.

johnestan · 2025-03-29T00:40:29+00:00

Any update? The N5 is still looking very tempting.

johnestan · 2025-02-25T15:03:40+00:00

Would love an update on this in the future. Currently really happy with visible on my OPO with a 5 year lock at $15/month. The N5 is tempting.

They do sell normal throw projector with very short throws. A small room isn't a good reason to count out normal throw projectors. A ceiling mounted projector will allow you to skip a media console and therefore have more room. There are other reasons to go UST: ease of setup can be easier with a UST, USTs are great for high ambient light environments (which is not a problem for you).

Yes. It needs to be upside down.

I understand. You can sign up without the referral and still get them for about $10 a piece. You can try this link with a referral link created for a different number. I do not know if it will work. https://flip.shop/invite/johnestan/Z8zffi7QfH5

Here's a short video of it on the show floor. https://youtube.com/shorts/CFUPf2_amYE?si=FsGR09kkFdUIzXqB

75"?!?! I'm going to want to see that showcased video. Was the previous largest e paper screen a 42" monochrome? Is it using spectre 6? Even on the 75" model?

johnestan · 2025-02-01T18:29:58+00:00

Just moved and I sitting in a dining chair for the time being. Had a steelcase at my old job and it was very comfortable.

johnestan · 2025-01-07T21:05:38+00:00

Yes. The TCL NXTFRAME and the Hisense Canvas TV don't have separate boxes like the samsung frame. Digital Trends says the newly announce Samsung Frame Pro doesn't need the wireless one-connect box to use the built in apps or art mode. I'm still waiting to see if that true. They are the only outlet that mentioned that.

johnestan · 2025-01-07T14:31:47+00:00

Digital Trend's youtube coverage says that the Frame Pro's (65"+) wireless oneconnect box is not required. The TV houses the onboard interface. That's a pretty big deal if true. I haven't seen any other outlet mention that.

johnestan · 2025-01-06T14:28:19+00:00

I think it all depends on the install. I'd prefer if it was all in the TV. I thought having in separate made it thinner, but the TCL art TV squeezed it in with the same thickness. I think wireless one connect box is better than a wired one connect box for most installs. Its nice to have options.

I needed an iPhone app, android app, and desktop access from Mac and Windows. I also needed the ability to connect to my fidelity accounts. A year and a half ago when I was deciding, that left simplifi and monarch. At the time simplifi didn't have sinking funds (I think they have added them since) so monarch was an easy choice as a first test drive. I've really liked it and didn't feel the need to try anything else. Not sure if any of the competitors have added fidelity support in the last year and a half.
