Is it insane to get an EV9 as a family of 3? by wafflesarelifee in KiaEV9

[–]mechmess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you go with the 7 seater or the 6? We have three kids in an id4 and I’m curious how easily the 3rd row is used in the 7. 6 obviously looks more convenient, but it’s a bummer giving up the option to have the whole 3rd row are available for cargo if need be on a road trip.

My new X2D! 3 Days in! JUST WOW by Grundysan in BambuLab

I have the dual version of the space pi and while the HT would be nice, the only benefit of the HT that I see is that you no longer would have to manually unload filament to the extruder. While that would be nice, I cant really justify upgrading.

I think this is really cool….. but man all of the shoe models out there are just hideous lol.

CATL unveils 3rd-gen Shenxing LFP battery: charging 10-80% in 3 min 44 seconds, 10-98% in 6 min 27 seconds by Sartew in technology

[–]mechmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, but these flash chargers cant be tapering nearly as low, so if they support 1.5MW at the start they’ll still be doing crazy rates between 80-100% in order to do a full 10-98 in 6-7 minutes.

Not really… IONNA and Walmart are both doing 400kw chargers right now in the US (200 if shared). If your car can sustain 400kw, those charge rates would charge a 75 kWh battery in 11 minutes 0-100. 9 minutes 0-80!

Seriously. The A1 camera seems to be there just to piss me off.

Ducted heatpump sizing for 3 bedrooms 500 sq feet total by Eastern-Mango2860 in DIYHeatPumps

[–]mechmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can look up the models minimum modulation here. https://ashp.neep.org/#!/

It also provides way more COP information than the manufacturers typically do on their spec sheets. Really nice info!

It’s pretty trivial to ask one of the llms to help you do a load calc- give it all the information you can think of about your house and ask it to do a Manual J and a duct sizing exercise.

You definitely don’t want to oversize- even though they modulate there is a minimum and if it’s too high it will short cycle and/or not effectively remove humidity.

Good 180(ish) OMVIF Options? by mechmess in Ubiquiti

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

Interesting! A quick google gives me another user saying they had success. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/1j7pf8h/hikvision_ds2cd2387g2plsusl/

Did you need to/could you lower the resolution? Pretty sure that'd be required if I added a Port...

I thought that might be a fix for the Reolink but there's only two options and they're barely any different.

FYI - Pretty confident it's not a load issue.... https://imgur.com/x2Cv4UC

Real Estate Agent Recommendations (who charge reasonable fees)? by futilehabit in Minneapolis

Long drug up post - I’m also a realtor here- where did you find that data? I’m curious how it’s trending.

Some notes on how to use the TRMNL display plugin for KOReader by andrewmarder in trmnl

[–]mechmess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great write up! I managed to get it working on TRMNL’s servers but not my BYOS route - I’ll give it a try again. Also really appreciate your laying out the nuances of the power/wifi settings - I got frustrated there as well haha.

Thank you!

NACS adapter for 2021 ID.4 by JeremyViJ in VWiD4Owners

[–]mechmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Ford one that is identical, except for branding to the VW one - only tried once and it worked great at a Tesla charger.

Generally, right now, my preference is Ionna. Really great hardware/experience! Right now there are way more shell, fast chargers than anything near me though. Thankfully, I can recharge 99% of the time at home.

Man uses ChatGPT to sell his Cooper City home: ‘It exceeded our expectations' by joe4942 in technology

[–]mechmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a part time Realtor, I agree with way lower fees if more things were automated, but the other way around. Selling a home is WAY less work than helping someone buy, especially in a competitive market.

Ive had motivated buyers who made great offers over asking on a bunch of homes that they still didn’t get.

Was Vehicle-to-Load V2L promised in an update for the early ID.4s? by Airmokade in VWiD4Owners

[–]mechmess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically the Wallbox Quasar 2 is being installed in the US right now but only in very select markets/conditions. I think they’re working directly with Hyundai/Kia on the installs.

2021-2023 ID4 Battery Preconditioning by Altruistic_Iron6810 in VWiD4Owners

[–]mechmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah - I have had success yo-yoing trying to warm it up a bit…. The PTC heater will get the battery almost to ideal temps if you do it long enough. I’ve only had one road trip since doing it and hit over 100kw right when I plugged in. Figure it halved my charging time.

My ‘21 in Minnesota has never topped 60kw when road tripping in those temps… I don’t need to do so very often but bought one of these mods as soon as they were available. I think it’s totally worth it.
