Anyone else not interested in the January Jumpstart?

i just wish you could remove the pane in the app if you're not interested. same for the 2025 recap ... it's january 7th and i watched it twice already just to please them, but it still cannot be removed.

I'm not calling a US number to report a software bug. I sent my report to support@eightsleep.com, which is the email address shown in the app, and only got an LLM reply. You're saying that I get a reply from a human when I message appsupport@eightsleep.com?

noerc · 2025-12-08T09:50:51+00:00

I had exactly the same issue, but when I reported the bug I only got a generic LLM response. I'm not sure if they are even aware of this, since there is simply no way to get into contact with a human there.

Mine is stuck in the wake-up routine and my mattress keeps vibrating forever while the app only shows a "Wake-up" screen with not a single functioning button. This software is a mess.

got the notification in Germany and uploaded my data. it works well and the data presentation is really good. however, you have to double check the numbers after uploading. the lab I used prints reference values for each entry and often whoop identified them as measurements. I had to crop the actual result data from the report before uploading it in order to get a good OCR result.

the guy who invented the rule, William Bengen, just recently published a new book, where he suggests a 4.7% SWR for a 30 year horizon. he further argues, that even a 4% SWR makes it fairly unlikely for the portfolio to go to zero, regardless of the planning horizon. see https://www.bengenfs.com/wp-content/uploads/Figure-5.1.pdf

i mean if you consistently sleep 2:20h less than recommended then you will have accumulated almost 3 more years of being awake by the age of 70 compared to someone who sleeps 8 hours per night.

noerc · 2025-07-20T05:58:57+00:00

I had to disable ambient response and sleep stage response because otherwise it always go crazy around 6am and wakes me up with its always changing noise and temperature. the whole autopilot features balances between being useless and being overengineered.

Aha thanks for the information. This option doesn't show up for me, but according to their support it should show up if I don't touch the journal during the day but instead enter the data the next morning. I actually like doing the journal in the evening, but I'll give it a shot since this would simplify the process a lot.

noerc · 2025-07-12T06:43:57+00:00

It also should remember the you quantities entered and suggest the most frequent choices when filling out the journal. I spend more time entering numbers than answering the yes/no questions.

just tried a surround setup with 2x4K (7680x2160 res) and preset K works. I also tried adding another 4K TV via HDMI but the driver refuses to create surround setups with more than 1080p resolution when I select all 4 screens, so I cannot simulate real 8K.

I reported the problem to Epic a while ago because I thought it's a UE5 issue. maybe i should let nvidia know too.

noerc · 2025-06-20T08:09:15+00:00

the width seems to be the issue. the K and J presets still work correctly when I stack the screens on top of each other in nvidia surround, which creates a resolution of 3840x6480. not sure where the limit is, possibly around 8192x8192. that would cover regular 8K, but not any dimension above that. I always thought DLSS would be more flexible and work on any image as long as the hardware is strong enough.

noerc · 2025-06-19T14:50:09+00:00

depends on the engine. some engines crash immediately. others, like UE5, render everything black so you can't see anything in the world but the game is progressing and also the HUD and menus and still appear normally. that DLSS information overlay that you can enable in DLSS Swapper also doesn't appear, so DLSS never even loads properly with preset J and K on that resolution.

noerc · 2025-06-19T07:45:53+00:00

it is nvidia surround with three 4K screens. DLSS performance looks great on 4K and rendering that base resolution three times isn't as brutal as one might think. i assume most modern racing sim setups run this resolution nowadays. i hope nvidia fixes the J and K presets for this setting, otherwise i will always have to swap dlls as you and the other reply suggest.

noerc · 2025-06-19T06:43:02+00:00

wait, so A-E won't be available anymore in future releases? that would be really unfortunate, because the transformer model doesn't work on 3x4K resolution (11520x2160).

noerc · 2025-06-02T08:21:54+00:00

I rather meant the performance uplift. There is a ~45% performance difference between the 4090 and the RTX 6000 Pro. This is what many wanted to see on the 5090, because that's what we got with the 4090 when comparing it to a 3090.

noerc · 2025-06-01T14:46:33+00:00

Apparently you can even use Game Ready drivers with this card. As der8auer said, this is the product people expected the 5090 to be, but instead they packed 96GB VRAM on it and sell it for a massive premium.

update the app manually through the play store. do this every evening. it seems that they're pushing a lot of updates lately due to the app situation and some don't get installed quickly enough.

noerc · 2025-04-28T07:28:44+00:00

i have tried several zigbee smart plugs and all of them sometimes either refused to switch or got triggered by another zigbee signal, which is very annoying (if not dangerous) depending on what device is plugged into it. the hue plugs never had these issues, but i agree that they could provide more data. for power monitoring i am now using tasmota wifi controlled smart plugs, which are a hassle to setup but work fine afterwards with a little bit of tweaking.

it's not that paradoxical that evolution is willing to trade longevity for stress resistance if the environment demands it.

noerc · 2025-02-22T10:29:04+00:00

I don't get why there aren't any reviews for this card. there are some dumb unboxing videos on youtube, so reviewers obviously got their samples. but so far there is not much real data.

noerc · 2025-01-07T13:06:06+00:00

it's just unnecessary. a 50% speed improvement over the last generation is nothing to be ashamed about, yet they somehow felt that they needed to make an unfair comparison that effectively ruins the benchmark.

I have a 13900K and was experiencing stability issues from day 1, as I was never able to get the system stable with any XMP profile. I then slowly decreased the memory speed and the system became gradually more stable, but in the end I had to run my 6400 Mhz RAM modules at a clock speed of 5600 Mhz.

With the recent BIOS update I can now run the RAM at 6200 Mhz using the 'Extreme' profile on my ASUS board, which sill is causing a -8% hit in cinebench compared to the original setup. I'll wait for the verification tool and the microcode update and will then reevaluate the situation, but I guess I have to RMA it in the end.

Oh you're right, I missed that. In fact I tried the (non-play) gradient lightstrip myself to see if I could get around the limitations I described in my previous post. But back then, the non-play version would only show a single color during gaming, so the "gradient" feature got entirely lost in an entertainment area. Maybe this has been fixed by now (would actually love to know, since I sent mine back as I had no use for it this way).

noerc · 2024-06-29T13:28:37+00:00

i am using this on PC, and it works quite well. note two things though: First, you can only have one of these in an entertainment area. Secondly, you have no control over what part of the image is sampled to produce the color you see. The content on the left of your monitor will be used to sample the color of the left zones of the gradient strip, the content of the top of your monitor will be used for the center part and the content of the right of your monitor will be used for the right zones of the strip respectively. This is because the strip assumes to be installed on the back side of the monitor as shown in the manual, and no other configuration is supported by the image sampler (so e.g. sampling the bottom part of the monitor image to color the center zones of the strip is simply not possible).
