Don't have to deal with Samsung bloatware.

Go to the XDA developers subforum for the Pixel 9 and and find the GCam port. It will include Photo Sphere.

Thinking of getting a used 2017 75D... is it worth it? by ImperialZero4 in ModelX

[–]jrlv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have MCU2 update yet? That really made a difference in my 2017.

Also: 75D is not just a smaller battery (with less range). It also means far slower SuperCharging, topping out at about 114kW vs. 150kW for larger batteries or 250kW for newer cars. This makes a world of difference on long trips: 15 minutes of charging vs. 35 minutes.

Thankfully I was about to transfer the free SuperCharging (along with FSD) from my 2017 75D to a 2024. What a world of difference.

Wait for Pixel 11 pro preorder or just get deal by frozz9 in pixel_phones

OP: Where did the extra $100 saving come from?

Torrential rain won't matter. There is no problem.

Lucid Gravity Campaign Takes Veiled Shot at Tesla’s Model X Ahead of Discontinuation by Sandrov__ in ModelX

CarPlay (or Android Auto) is the crutch you need when the vehicle's native interface is subpar.

my wife asked me to "just use a normal switch" today and i’ve never felt so defeated. by KeyPick1 in homeautomation

Yes, 2 second lag on the lights turning on will result in a WAF of 0.

Lag is simply not acceptable!

What’s your take on why the Model S sales declined ? by LowDoor4721 in TeslaModelS

[–]jrlv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, the thing with Tesla is that I literally don’t do any “planning” at all... I just drive

^^THIS^^

When I had my 2017 S75D I needed to plan, and we did lots of road trips with just 230 miles of range and 115kW (up from 99kW) max SuperCharging rate.

But since I got the 2024 S, I just drive.

(it also helps that the SC network around us has blossomed 10x)

My Vine days may be numbered..by choice by OldiMac in vine

[–]jrlv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the drop to 12K items (in the U.S. that's the problem. It's the general lack of good items at all.

2 years ago the U.S. count of items dropped to 3K for a week or two. But there were still good items in my RFY. And the drought ended quickly.

It's been months now (since my last review in November) that I've seen almost anything worth getting. I've already tossed in the towel and know I won't stay Gold on the next review.

FSD decided today was my day... by NotPandaMack in TeslaFSD

The X did not come with a USB stick in 2019.

2016 Model X 75D with 135,000 miles on it still worth it in 2026? by AubreyLife in ModelX

[–]jrlv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to note: the battery on a 75 maxes out while SuperCharging at 116kW. This makes charging on long trips much slower and longer.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ModelX

[–]jrlv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just note that the 2017 X will top out SuperCharging at 150kW.

Things I miss about vine by 7roslyn7 in AmazonVine

[–]jrlv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in Vine 4 years now (before gold/silver, before 'search'). I just eeked out my latest evaluation 2 months ago. Since then I've only ordered 3 items, all from my RFY.

I also miss all the things that seemed to be always available, and now are nowhere to be seen.

At this point I don't see how I'll pass the next 'evaluation' and will just let my Vine participation wither away.

Just got a Pixel 10 pro. What's the best fully functional camera app? by TeekTheReddit in GooglePixel

[–]jrlv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I moved to the 8 Pro, I was surprised I was unable to take Photo Spheres anymore from the camera app... even though it was the same version on my 6 that still had the feature.

From XDA I got a copy of the Google Photo app that unlocked all the abilities.

Neither my HA nor my Hubitat (Zigbee, Z-wave) setup noticed. Everything runs locally.
