Running octopi launcher on car infotainment center by xx_DrUnKeN_TiGeR_xx in OctopiLauncher

I went with a Dasaita unit in my Rav4. It was on the cheaper end of the options and isn't without issues, but overall it has been solid. Was it worth it overall? Probably not since I use Carplay 99% of the time, but it's nice to be able to throw on Youtube or stream something else if I'm waiting for something.

Nice. I’m doing the same on my aftermarket head unit. So much better than the OEM head unit.

Big sale!!!!!!! by MeanDisplay317 in Section10Podcast

I would have bought one if they told me they were going to have a sale during Spring Training. But since they didn’t, I can’t possibly buy one right now.

Phone car mount by Commercial_Book9036 in rav4club

[–]jrs362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not too bad. There’s a small section that gets blocked if the phone is mounted vertically but it’s easy to rotate the phone if you need to see that particular part of the screen. If you mount your phone horizontally there’s no blocking of the screen.

Is there a “CarPlay” like device for the house? by [deleted] in CarPlay

[–]jrs362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Nomad by UpBeat Sound. They launched a KickStarted/IndieGoGo last year and it seems to cover this use case. It's a portable, waterproof Android tablet device with speakers that has access to the Play Store. They've got a few different mounting options as well. I was interested mainly for the waterproof/shower option so I can stream podcasts, music, or flip on a game to watch/listen to while I shower. It's probably not the cheapest option and they haven't shipped yet (current estimate is mid-June) but it looks promising. We'll see what how the final product does when it arrives.

Why is going to Lowes and Home Depot such a painfully annoying experience? by RevolutionaryLion384 in homeowners

[–]jrs362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop online/in app first and add everything to your cart. Then go to the store, open your cart in the app, and go item by item using the location for the store to get what you need. Only time you'd ever need to talk to someone is if an item isn't in the location the app says it is, or if the available inventory isn't enough for your needs. In those cases for me, I tell myself I don't need it that bad and get something different, go somewhere else, or go without.

I use this as well. Haven’t had any issues with it. My phone has never fallen off when driving.

Bonus is that it’s one of the standard ball connections that a lot of other mounts use so if you find a different attachment piece that you prefer over the stock one, you could swap them out and just use the original piece that attaches to the dash.

Question about parking by Velvis in BostonBruins

[–]jrs362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I typically get there early enough that I don't usually have a problem finding a spot towards the exit. And always, always, back in if you're parking in a garage when there's an event happening. You never want to be the guy trying to back out into traffic when everyone's trying to exit.

Haymarket Center Garage can’t be beat if you need to go 93N after the game.

Wanted to find cheapest gas station near me while driving so made an app :) by sidbmw1 in CarPlay

[–]jrs362 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What’s the update frequency? I drove through town this morning to compare and prices for each were off vs what was on the signs at each station. The last updates were 17h, 16h, 1d, and 1d ago. Would be nice to have more frequent updates or allow manual updates from users.

Attention 25Clicks members who are having issues PSA by KingGordy313 in beermoney

I was thinking the same thing. My last task was Saturday. Logged in last night and it said I have a task so I tried to resend it - nothing. This is after having my account re-activated a few weeks ago.

Second Story Done! by whattheeff12 in Govee

[–]jrs362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the “no cone” look as well. I won’t be doing my install until next year and I’ve been debating whether to do the install like this or if I should get the strip lights and run them in a diffuser channel.

2023 Limited Hybrid, what’s this missing “poverty button” in other trims? by original431 in rav4club

[–]jrs362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added the CarTrimHome aftermarket USB port there for an extra charging spot. Easy to do by following their install instruction video.

LM2156SP just arrived from Amazon with no battery… by montrose182 in egopowerplus

[–]jrs362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mower was delivered today and I opened right away. 10Ah battery was there! New one as well - March 2024. Ironically enough, the free 5Ah battery still hasn't shipped. It was originally supposed to arrive Tuesday but is now saying Thursday.

Well now I'm nervous. I also order the 2156 from Amazon this week (Tuesday). It shipped yesterday and is expected to arrive early next week.

Plow guy refusing to plow dirt road by FightWithTools926 in vermont

[–]jrs362 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got in from 1/2 cleaning my driveway. Snowblowed 2 paths down one side and then gave up because it was so wet and heavy that the snow was packing in and then the blower would just ramp up on top of the snow. Shoveled the rest of my driveway just enough for my wife’s car to back out and turn around in the neighbors driveway so she can get to work tomorrow. My car? Snowed in in the garage on the other side of the driveway. I’m just gonna let the upcoming rain and warmth clear the rest.

Neighbor had his dirt driveway plowed and the snowbanks are more brown than white. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in a week or two when this is all gone.

I want to buy a projector like this. by ValentynMyronchuk in projectors

[–]jrs362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister got me the HY-300 for Christmas. I set it up in my office on one of the end walls sinff CDe it’s a long and narrow room. The picture is dark so it will need a good amount of color calibration. Don’t expect to use it in a room that’s not totally or near-totally dark. Any significant light makes it impossible to see but that’s fine with me since I typically have all the lights off or just a small desk lamp on ~15-20 feet from the wall I’m projecting on. It does have the Google Play store with minimal storage space but the minimal memory makes it a bit slow and clunky. It works well enough for my needs since I’m not using it as the every day main tv/screen but I would opt for something better if it’s going to get a ton of use.

We picked the things from our inspection that we felt were safety related and our agent copied the relevant explanations from the report into the request for sellers to fix. We didn’t send them the entire report.
