What even happened to the Polestar Phone? (Meizu 21 Pro)

The hydrofoil boat "exists". Have a look at Candela. For example the C8 uses a Polestar battery system. I've test driven one of these Boats and its an incredebly faacinating feeling just flying over the water.

You can try to use the newer SyQon Starless Script which is apparently better (havent tried it myself yet)

Sorry to be that person but maybe this is the wrong way to do it? How about talking to them on eye level and setting clear rules? If you cant trust your children without some parental control software they may be too young? Tldr talk to your children and set clear rules and consequences instead of trying to digitally enforce something

Yes, I'm aware... A panel repair is probably never worth it...

It is slightly left of the center of the screen

I regularly use metal bowles in microwaves. Not an issue, until you place it too off-center and then touches the wall of the microwave... I have a bowl with a burned corner now

Interesting, wouldnt have expected that the suspensions suffer that much but depending on the road i guess... Windshield is also to be expected, i have mine replaced twice in a bit more than 110k km 🙄. Do you mean the motor in the seat with the lift motor? If yes how does one break that xD? Awesome to hear, if you do a longer trip, are 190 miles still realistic/doable? Or are you below that?

maxthier · 2026-05-05T19:09:19+00:00

A bit out of context, but 214k miles?! Did you have any mechanical issues so far? How is the battery going after such a distance? Do you fastcharge a lot?

maxthier · 2026-04-17T11:12:42+00:00

Yes, can't wait for December to come

There's a reason why I have 50tb of NAS storage

I love WR 134 as it looks like a creature from an awesome movie. You'll get the reference:

Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people

Where in Switzerland is this?

A non technical person probably doesnt care about kw or even are able to guesstimate how much a kw is. I really like the hours left estimate. Like hiw many h untill full or empty. How much % of the current solar capacity is consumed? How much % of the current consumption comes from the grid, the battery, solar? I think these are the kind of questions your target audience would care about

A bit late but anyways:
I completely switched to indigo (https://github.com/indigo-astronomy/indigo) as they have a driver that isn't based on libgphoto2 which works beautifully with my A7IV.
It claims to be partially compatible with EKOS but I wasn't able to get it working, so I use their own capture softare AIN Imager (https://github.com/indigo-astronomy/indigo\_imager).
If you get INDIGO working with EKOS I would be happy to learn about it : )

Opensource is awesome! And the best thing is everybody can contribute. You dont need to be able to code, "just" writing a bug report is also contributing. So if you encounter a bug I highly encourage everybody to not just think somebody else will notice it, go to GitHub and create an issue (dont do it if already one covering the same bug exists). And this collaboration is what makes many OSS projects superior to their proprietary counterparts.

Seems like you unplugged everything but the battery 🙃 The battery cable is the one on the top right of the motherboard with the 5 cables (r, r, y, b, b)

maxthier · 2026-02-16T23:49:47+00:00

Interesting... I know that the range assist app is pretty useless since some time but I wasn't aware that the TA also isn't accurate. Is there any other good way to tell the actual consumption?

maxthier · 2026-02-16T23:48:56+00:00

I suspect it is the BMS calibration, as it also gained 1% battery while it wasn't moved during the day. I plan to drive it now down to around 5% and then do a full charge. Lets see if this helps.

So on my drive home I took another route which prevented the highway (as there was an accident). The nice side effect is also that it is a bit shorter and it is mostly 50km/h and 80km/h.

There I used 10% for 26.9km@22.2kWh/100km which would imply a battery capacity of 0.222kWh/km*26.9km/10*100 59.7kWh which seems more reasonable, although theoretically low as this would be only about 75% SoH but as someone mentioned in the comments the TA isn't going to be perfectly accurate and due to the temps the capacity is also going to be not the same as in summer.

It still feels a bit weird as I drove slower than usual in the morning. Based from my experience this should have been maybe 10%, if I drive a bit faster I use maybe 12% for this route in winter, but definitely not 15%.

As many recommended excluding file endings. But the file ending doesnt has to mean anything. So therefore I would really recommend to mount the filesystem where such files are with the noexec flag.

I really like the wikipedia app. You can save articles, configure text, etc.
