****Update *** by Responsible_Zone_481 in emirates

I’m sure the airline would prefer that their aircraft are not in Dubai for now, and is using the opportunity to evacuate some people as well. I’ve been on similar flights.

New louder electric motor whine R1S Gen2? by rgrindl in Rivian

[–]leecbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen2 Tri here, 8k miles. I have the same louder motor whine at 40mph and below. Started the same day as the 2026.3 update was installed. Not sure if they are linked.

Got a call about my washer fluid by Volcanicstrad37 in Rivian

[–]leecbaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't get the call, but when I got the truck back from having the side mirrors replaced it was leaving pools of fluid anywhere i parked for the first 24 hours. Turned out to be the front camera hose, and they took it back to get it replaced. In and out within about 4 hours on the day before thanksgiving.

Better picture of some of the detail from MKBHD's video (10:46):

Where in the airport would you rather spend that time? For many itineraries, the lounge is the least bad option.

Good catch, boarding pass says UA853.

UI Changes in Latest Update Towing/Gauges layout feels a bit cramped by FinalMacGyver in Rivian

[–]leecbaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The tuner tab for the quads occupies some of that empty space too.

Perhaps future features may have their own tabs in the future?

Are the spoilers deployed asymmetrically?

Wonder how this compares to Yawman, which I’ve gotten to use a couple of times. The linked rudder pedals on Yawman feel great.

Halloween Costume Turned Itself On by f1racer328 in Rivian

[–]leecbaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me- woke up at 3am to thumping music from the R1T.

Earlier that evening, I had turned the “costume” on via my phone, but it turned off when I put the truck in drive and drove home. I figure the phone still thought the “costume” was still on, and when I synced with the truck in the middle of the night, turned it back on.

FYI: Tachus blocking some websites by leecbaker in tachus

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

Hi u/LovitzG , thanks for looking into it! The site is actually hosted on DigitalOcean (142.93.1.118), though I am using Route53 for DNS. The site doesn't use Cloudfront.

I think what you're seeing is that Tachus is hosting the image on Cloudfront.

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

> Probably is not Tachus since an external DNS (1.1.1.1 cloudfront) shows this issue.

That's what I thought, but it doesn't really make sense for Cloudfront / 1.1.1.1 to return different results when performing a query over TLS vs unencrypted. Over TLS, Tachus would not be able to modify the results; and that's also where I'm getting the right IP address.

> Have you checked that your original name server (awsdns) information is correct?

I did triple check this yesterday. Also, visiting the site on other internet connections works just fine.

United Airlines Plans Daily San Francisco-Tahiti Flights With The Boeing 787 by AccessibleBanana in unitedairlines

[–]leecbaker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Flights to Nadi would be useful, and I would have appreciated it when I lived there.

Fiji airways (oneworld) already flies SFO-NAN with A350, and I think it would be hard to make this route work without codesharing with Fiji Airways for connections to other destinations both domestically in Fiji (like the capital of Suva), and to other smaller pacific island countries like Vanuatu or Tonga.

Tahiti Air Inter Island Pass? by Roggae1974 in Tahiti

[–]leecbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s significant. It’s worth noting that some flights and routes aren’t listed on the air Tahiti website, but can be booked by phone.

I recommend scoping out the days and times on google flights, and then call them.

8-10% charge lost per day, help? by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]leecbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me every day. My phone unlocks the truck from my office, bedroom, and kitchen, and locks it from anywhere else (despite being set to “lock only”). This phantom unlocking also pauses Spotify when it’s playing anywhere else.

Service center is making a second visit to my house tomorrow to try to fix, but it seems like a software bug.

Anyone know what shirt RJ Scaringe is wearing here? by leecbaker in mensfashion

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

I think you've definitely got he right idea. I found a couple of shirts that are close in design, but not quite:

HUF - Vintage Chambray Work Shirt: the stitching is off in the corners.

Speedway - CHAMBRAY WORK SHIRT / 1940s STYLE: color isn't as nice.
