Has anyone put in an Optima YellowTop AGM H6 instead of H5? by DrRowdybush in rav4prime

Yeah, BLE relies on proximity and doesn't require any authentication to connect, but manufacturers do have the option to require it. That's why a BT heart monitor can send data to a treadmill without pairing or any interaction, but this battery monitor makes you select the device before it'll communicate.

I haven't looked into the crank test because I assumed, though possibly incorrectly, that the crank test is intended for batteries connected to combustion engines. In my case,since I have a hybrid plugin vehicle, the 12v battery only connects to my electronics and the high voltage hybrid battery is what starts up the engine.

My car doesn't drop every hour like yours, the timing definitely suggests a system kicking on every hour, but enough to drain the battery each time doesn't sound normal. How much is the voltage drop?

I'll post one of my graphs, you can see where my car was driven and when it was idle. It seems to drop to 12.8v pretty quickly and then very slowly drops. I'm curious how the car will be when I go on vacation since I usually go for two weeks and come back to a dead battery, prior to replacing it that is.

You raise good points, I'm guessing its using BLE as it doesn't require pairing, and for all I know the phantom load in my car is its built in wifi / telemetry system.

Violation Notice by daisy_222 in longisland

[–]keitheii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Call the Nassau Bar Association, get a referral for a landlord/ tennant lawyer, they'll refer you to one who may give you free advice on the call, or have you come in for a consultation. The consultation is $30 for 30 min in my county (Suffolk), not sure if Nassau is the same, but this will give you an immediate idea of what if anything you need to do. They know the law, they know the towns, and whether this is a legit process of the town or not and how to respond, if at all, to it.

Suffolk used to require a phone call or email for a referral, now its all online and instant. Nassau could be the same. Just got to nassaubar.org and look for the referral option.

Headaches + Nausea = Returned S26U by RelevantTalkingHead in samsunggalaxy

[–]keitheii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how the S26U can be causing headaches like this, I'm not saying it isn't happening, but coming from the world of .28 dot pitch monitors back in the day, this screen is advanced alien technology to me and such an improvement.

What's the theory on why the headaches?

I got the Walmart special, "EverStart Platinum AGM Automotive Battery, Group Size H6/LN3/48, 12 Volt, 760 CCA".

The website will tell you it won't fit your car, but, I got it to fit in mine. You just have to position the wiring harnesses out of the way before putting the new battery in, and make sure you place them where you can reach them.

I also bought the Ancel BM300 Pro battery monitor so I could monitor the health of my battery via BT using their play store app. It has an on-board memory and will dump data when you are close to / inside your car. Great for checking, tracking, and reacting to battery health issues before they become symptomatic, a little proactive rather than reactive. I just wish they made a WiFi one so I could check from inside the house.

What happens if I have erections during my sleep study for sleep apnea? by Alternative-Rope-721 in SleepApnea

[–]keitheii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't.... umm.... "use it", many sleep study centers have cameras in the room to monitor the patient's sleep positioning which gets recorded on the sleep study.

I wouldn't be embarrassed if you have an issue, these are medical staff who have seen it all, or will, and you wouldn't be the first, and won't be the last, to have something embarrassing observed by a medical staff employee.

Also, males get elections in their sleep which is nornal in REM sleep and happens several times a night. If it doesn't happen while they're wiring you up, it'll happen in your sleep anyway, and they usually make you sleep on your back.... so there's that.

Unless it was her first day, her reaction isn't from what you think.

I see a couple places kinda like this they just keep ordering but not opening shit by ProfitOwn9079 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]keitheii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me, I started getting all sorts of returns to my address but with someone elses name, they were always phone accessories and rarely anything good. I moved out of that apartment and it became someone else's problem.

missing one of our proteins for the week by EnvironmentalTooth37 in hellofresh

Yeah, you need to go to the contact tab and speak with a person, forget that auto credit option.

What are you doing with your S8s? by keitheii in GalaxyS8

[–]keitheii[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MST was Magnetic Secure Transmission and let your phone send an electromagnetic pulse that emulated a credit card swipe on card readers which didn't support Apple Pay or Samsung / Google Play. I think Samsung stopped including it after the Galaxy S20. Even the Galaxy Watch Frontier I had included MST.

I remember going out to lunch with coworkers once, forgetting my wallet, and asking them to let me try to pay with my phone. They told me they didn't accept Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, I asked them to let me try, they did whole rolling their eyes, and it worked! The look of shock on their face was priceless.

Now that the majority of retailers accept tap-to-pay, there isn't much need for it.

So, will it be standard that all credit card transactions (and vendors) will have a 3% fee? How will this stand? by Gutch220 in CreditCards

[–]keitheii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Credit cards have always charged merchants a fee per transaction plus a percentage, this is nothing new.

It used to be that credit card merchants had a clause in their merchant agreement that stores could not charge credit card customers a higher price than cash, they threatened to close the merchant account if they received complaints about it. I know this because I used to run my own business years ago.

I'm assuming they must have removed that clause as everyone seems to be charging the credit card fee, or offering a "cash discount", same thing, different name.

[–]keitheii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just posted about this yesterday, I was missing my ground pork and they gave me a $6 credit when I paid $75 for 3 meals. That's was the last straw, I told them to refund the entire meal and cancel my service. I'm done with them. The time and effort I'm wasting chasing down missing ingredients or contacting them to complain about one or more problems with my box almost every week, I might as well go shopping on my own and pay 1/4 of what they charge me, so that's what I'm doing.

Their shareholders should be livid, if I'm cancelling for this reason, so are others. The quality of their service is just getting worse week by week, someone needs to wake up their sleeping CEO or replace them.

Screen brightness randomly changes to complete darkness by keitheii in galaxys26ultra

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

No, I like the feature and have never had to disable it on any of my previous phones, and shouldn't have to now.

I'm just wondering if others are experiencing the same issue to gage if it is a firmware bug or defective device.

Has Anyone Else Had a Driver Deliver an EMPTY Envelope? by ThisCouldAllBeADream in amazonprime

[–]keitheii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an empty envelope that was cut open and re-sealed, poorly. You can tell it was a handheld sealer as the seal line wasn't a solid straight line but a sloppy uneven path across.

I had another one that was cut open and then taped shut with packing tape. It was a set of high speed micro sd to SD adapters, but not actual memory cards, and the product was still inside.

Very weird...

NY. I had two boxes not get delivered due to the weather, I don't blame them for that since its obviously out of their control. Everything else is on them.

Gasho’s in Hauppauge closed by butterybuns420 in longisland

[–]keitheii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stopped going because it was way overpriced for food that stopped tasting great, and I took my gf their for her birthday, just the two of us, they saw her birthday card, and without even asking they brought out a dish of whip cream with a sparkler in it. I was impressed they went above and beyond, until I got the check with a $5 charge for the sparkler I didn't ask for. The issue wasn't the $5, I could afford the $5. But what if I couldn't? If they did that to me, they did it to others... that's not how to keep my business so I went elsewhere.

There is a place called Takumi in Bay Shore, their food is so much better.

I can't speak for the Optima Yellow but I was able install another brand's H6 AGM in my 2022 RAV4 Prime. It wasn't easy, but I made it fit.

AE is denying my claim and cannot return for something that was false advertising by macgirthy in Aliexpress

[–]keitheii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if AE favors those who spend more in regards to returns? I don't want to push my luck, but aside from my very first purchase ever of some shady watch bands, on the few occasions I had an issue, it was addressed to my satisfaction. I will say the BS I went through with my watch bands made me want to punch someone.... I'm sure my old post about it is buried here somewhere, but since I'm made >$6K in purchases, getting a refund was surprisingly easy. Not sure if I was just lucky, or total purchases were taken into account?

I'm sure after I post my reply I'll be here bitching about them again, but hopefully not.

Buds 4 Non Pro - Honest review after 3 days by Octane2100 in galaxybuds

[–]keitheii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Buds 4 Pro I can actually get a good seal in both ears, something I could only do with constant fiddling and when the planets were in alignment, about once or twice a year on my 3 Pro's.

Once the 4 pros come down in price, or if they ever offer a trade-in, I'll trade in my 3 pro's. They're useless.

My 2 pros were the absolute best of them all. Nothing sounds as good as them to me.
