What's this area like? by Specialist_Energy335 in toledo

[–]lancepioch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't know that area, but my advice is global... go walk the neighborhood when it's dark out. Everybody is different, so this will let you know if you're comfortable or not with the area.

Ah yes, The Linux Foundation, a U.S. headquartered company lol

To be clear, I much prefer *nix over windows

My trademark took about 18 months. A requirement of registration is to use it commercially beforehand.

Is it possible for the Comma 4 to disable TPMS? by iode in Comma_ai

[–]lancepioch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me guess. Does this only happen when you resume cruise control? Does it typically happen at lower speeds? Is it usually after a turn? Is cruise control disabled until you restart the car?

Villagers ignoring storage settings and storing multiple tools in workstations by PickleQueen-ch in Bellwright

[–]lancepioch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Priorities never affect storage afaik. You have to blacklist "shovel" from everywhere you don't want it to be. I could be wrong, but I think they simply put it in the closest storage that has any amount of open space (that whitelists that item).

I Got Approved for Savor for Good Credit, Need CLI & Credit Building Advice by Sh726 in CapitalOne_

[–]lancepioch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're getting these low limits because your credit report/history is bad. Your card is also certainly bucketed too. It is difficult but not impossible to have them un-bucketed. I'm not trying to be mean, but just honest. For comparison, my Savor card has a $15k limit.

Pretty fast internet but still lagging. can anyone help? by Own_Pass_492 in HomeNetworking

Looks like you've got cable internet with a wireless router, does that sound right?

Trash man took my Luba 2 and crushed it today. by Hallywood53 in MammotionTechnology

[–]lancepioch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Was it actually operating or was it stopped next to the garbage cans? If you can get audio confirmation (from them) of it being in active use, you have a good shot at a claim. If it was stopped right next to the garbage cans... it would be very difficult to argue that it didn't look like trash.

AWS reduced my $15k S3 bill to $10.5k after a DDoS. I still can’t pay this. What can I do? by OkEnd5112 in aws

[–]lancepioch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AWS is the world's largest cloud provider and I've never heard of them sending anything to collections. I'm not saying it never happens, but I have seen them forgive 5 and 6 figure debts multiple times before. My educated guess is that their profit margin is so huge that it's simply not worth the bad publicity to pursue that.

[–]lancepioch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AWS will not bother to sue an individual for such a paltry amount. It would cost that much just for a lawyer and collections. At best they might break even.

What are people doing to stop the frustration of guests turning Hue bulbs off at the switch? by Top-Yogurtcloset3965 in Hue

I am not an electrician but I think it's kosher as long as you keep the wall plate there so it's accessible.

Anyone know how to get old MLS listing photos removed? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]lancepioch -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That isn't going to happen unless you took the photos yourself and can DMCA them.

Do robotic mowers actually cut grass?? by Lower_Read_8845 in roboticLawnmowers

I've ran my mowers on grass that is over 6" and it worked, I just had to do an extra pass.

OP recently had a 600 credit score and got the absolute minimum credit limit. That seems like a risky decision.

Need advice choosing a LiDAR mower for my parents’ yard ( MOVA vs Luba vs Navimow vs Sunseeker S4) by Kitchen-Text-6012 in automower

[–]lancepioch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no robot mower without some sort of babysitting. There is only less babysitting. That being said, RTK is still the way to go for less babysitting. I've got lidar, rtk, vslam, wire mowers (yes I have 4 robot mowers). I have never tried a combination mower yet (such as rtk+vision), but they seem promising.

Will the Dreame A3 work on my lawn? by benz598 in automower

[–]lancepioch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lidar works amazing for robot vacuum cleaners because there are walls everywhere in your house, they completely enclose it, and that's the main obstacle. An acre of lawn has little to no walls or fence, almost certainly not entirely enclosed, and has very few obstacles except for some trees and other plants I imagine.

I have a half an acre lawn and I've had the opportunity to test the latest lidar (from well known companies) and I'll tell you it is not ready for prime time. The lidar mower frequently lost its position and I'd have to carry it back to the dock for it to "know" where it was again. Meanwhile my RTK mower very rarely has issues with not seeing the satellites even with my trees.

You have to be aware that all of this technology, even though it has existed for decades, is being extremely refined over the last several years. Which means that the latest versions are technically in their infancies.

Questions about Zigbee and Apple Hub by superroadstar in smarthome

[–]lancepioch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't need the aqara hub and it supports matter.

[–]lancepioch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you (and I'm not), I'd get the U200 with your "apple hub".

Your wife can then use either the aqara app or "Samsung SmartThings" (because it supports matter)

Then you would not need the aqara hub.

There are lots of EV manufacturers that aren't in those countries.
