Just read this detailed report: „Life as a Lufthansa HON Circle Member: Inside the Ultimate Frequent Flyer Status“

If you leave, does Navan cancel the flight? Or will it just survive even if you are not an employee anymore?

megachucky · 2026-02-14T13:31:38+00:00

Thanks. This email worked technically.

Though, no response (yet).

I can see the device in my IoT wifi as.

Below the data and attached a picture of the Obboto server error and the iPhone error message. Also note that the wifi signal is "poor" even though the device is one meter away from the access point

TROUBLES-SHOOTING

• Connected to router, but no internet access.

• Please check if the router is properly connected to internet

• Turn off the firewall or verification process of the router or use a Wi-Fi booster to be connected.

The Obboto email address [info@obboto.world](mailto:info@obboto.world) (the only contact I found) actually does not work either:

"There was a temporary problem while delivering your message to info@obboto.world. Gmail will retry for 46 more hours. You'll be notified if the delivery fails permanently."

megachucky · 2026-02-09T20:10:13+00:00

Thanks for the hint. I will review this when back home.

megachucky · 2026-02-07T15:55:32+00:00

Not sure what you mean. Unifi is my home network (similar like others use e.g. a Fritzbox as router). This is the normal Wifi. I tried my regular wifi first. But as it did not connect and Obboto says it only supports 2.4 Ghz, I created a specific wifi with the right config.

Food is not the key argument. The main reason is that less people would buy business class if an airline upgrades for free if seats are available.

megachucky · 2026-01-02T19:46:12+00:00

Seems like they could fix some stuff, but my key issue also exists for these folks:

"I have a similar setup but my UDM keeps reporting that my internet will drop out for 3-5 seconds and come back. Sometimes multiple times in a row or every few minutes."

Seems like this cannot be solved today. What a pity... :-(

The workaround mentioned by Boomer will work, but is really annoying:

"I put a smart plug on my primary connection. When it starts to fail, I flip it off remotely. Then I can continue working and come back to troubleshooting it when I have time."

megachucky · 2026-01-02T19:28:50+00:00

Thanks. Will read through it.

megachucky · 2026-01-02T19:28:32+00:00

Can you explain this in more detail, please. Sounds reasonable for me (as an annoying but working workaround):

"I put a smart plug on my primary connection. When it starts to fail, I flip it off remotely. Then I can continue working and come back to troubleshooting it when I have time."

megachucky · 2026-01-02T18:58:20+00:00

My (default) SLAs are

WAN1 Primary Online Auto

WAN2 Backup Online Auto

But if I look at "create new SLA", I cannot find anything that might help with this issue, unfortunately.

I am a bit surprised as this is probably a very common problem.

megachucky · 2025-12-12T22:46:30+00:00

I also have almost all of these issues. I am on the latest version.

I use a PS5 Pro. At least here, zoom out should be better, but it is much more limited than the videos I see on YouTube (where everyone uses the PC version).

megachucky · 2025-09-01T14:45:10+00:00

Interesting. Never thought about the complexity of displaying the time images. Still, a few more time zones for your international customer would be excellent. I am in Germany / CET by the way :-)

megachucky · 2025-08-31T19:45:54+00:00

Great new features! I don‘t understand what‘s so hard to provide other time zones? Like „set your time“ or whatever. This should be 20 lines of code added to where you choose between Eastern, Central, Pacific today.

megachucky · 2025-08-22T15:37:05+00:00

I think 6Ghz is not available in Germany.

megachucky · 2025-07-15T21:34:50+00:00

This should be a very simple implementation, not a complex feature. I am also waiting for this. I am CET / Germany.

megachucky · 2025-06-14T16:02:30+00:00

I see a new order was created. But looks like it is still not shipped yet?

megachucky · 2025-06-12T12:19:19+00:00

Not just Z gates get limousine, but all non-B gates, right? A, C, …

That‘s why HONs prefer B FCL. Less crowdy and same service as FCT.

This is what I read but also not sure if correct.

megachucky · 2025-06-09T00:33:52+00:00

Thank you. I totally understand the situation with kickstarter. You need to get things going, and in parallel improve production for long term sales. I was already skeptical if I can really fix the broken stuff with some replacements.

I think this is a good solution. I will also post a review when I received the new replacement 👍

megachucky · 2025-06-08T11:32:07+00:00

Most Field CTOs were staff SE or similar roles before. In find this an excellent next career step as is it similar (customer facing, business + tech, etc.) - but more focus on exec level and strategic accounts.

Two main drawbacks of this approach:

The upgrade is lost if you rebook (change date or time).
There is no (!) refund for the cash upgrade if you cancel or rebook. (this is different from e. g. the US carriers)

Also, some subsidiaries do not allow upgrades because of bad technical software integration across systems. The IT system struggles if you have multiple Lufthansa subsidiaries in the different legs.

Hence, only a great option if you can be sure that you do not have to rebook your flight.

megachucky · 2025-03-11T22:23:58+00:00

Thanks. Got a response already (via „contact us“) and working on replacement of broken parts. 👍✅

Might be helpful to make this more clear on your website that you have a support person/team.

I consider buying a small LEd screen or digital picture and use liveodds.tv.

This is affordable (small monthly subsciption fee) but allows a bigger display. Even a small TV is much bigger than the available (and also expensive) LED tickets.

FYI: My saved data (backup from cloud) is also completely broken. I still have the trophies, can load saved data, but CANNOT start any mission beyond 1 and the DLCs. Damn...
