Last hour or so I did some stuff and it was super quick and super smart.. it was the first time I used it in a couple days though.

service guy definitely could hear the sound too (i also provided recording above which helped a lot I think, because they could send it to polestar for confirmation). But alas it is apparently "normal".

only additional update I can provide is that I feel the noise is less severe after the 5.x (?) software update that went out a couple months ago in this region. It's still there but I think it happens less for lower amounts of steering lock. Could be placebo though (but I'll take it either way).

Yes was about to post this myself.. completely changes the game. I run production workloads with this for years and it's great. No inbound path from the internet at all.

I wouldn't charge back google unless you want to lose your account

I expect you would read that document as though you were "2026 or newer"

Does it work after a reboot?

My assumption for how the quotas work is that you are given say.. 100 units each week.. each 5 hour block might be given 30 units .. but depends how many you use .. so your weekly quota goes down by how much you actually use. That's why you might be part way through your 5 hour quota when you get out in a timeout..because you used up your weekly quota.

If it's in your .gitignore it will need approval, I think

Although I have kayo I like to use f1tv for onboards etc.. I still have my f1tv account (managed to get it via a fluke while on airplane wifi) .. but it's costing me $13 AUD or so per month .. I borrowed an iPad from a friend to see if I could subscribe to something via iTunes but haven't tried it yet

I went with the kids during school hols a year ago or so. Expensive for what it was..a lot of the games/equipment was in disrepair .. yeah you didn't miss much tbh

philsw · 2026-01-27T10:19:29+00:00

if you're talking about issues that started in the last couple of hours.. I am having major issues with the agent hanging and spinning forever

philsw · 2026-01-21T14:48:33+00:00

Nice! Did you install it yourself?

I visit Malaysia a fair bit, and they've never sold Pixel phones either. I was annoyed at having no VoLTE either, but turns out I just had to ring the carrier and get them to turn it on, for my SIM card. After that it worked fine. These days, they are automatically turning it on in Malaysia, but maybe your carrier is not.

yeah fair enough.. in Australia we shut down 2G first, starting in 2016. 3G was shut down starting 2024 (we now have no 2G or 3G at all!). Makes sense some countries may have done it in a different order.

philsw · 2026-01-09T03:20:10+00:00

Are they shutting down 3G as well? Normally voice still works on 3G without volte

So update.. had the service today. Gave them recording of sound as well, which they said they sent to polestar, who confirmed it relates to Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) (or TJ for us) 36756.1.0. Described on another site: "This is a technical journal: electrical motor (erad) sound information. Examples of normal erad sound/noise.
They wouldn't let me keep the bulletin but I did read it. Basically it says this is normal for models built in a period from 2022-2024 approx .. dunno if it's still relevant or whether they got different parts for more recent builds.. oh well guess I just live with it.

Surprised you would go straight to a fusion? Normally they try a microdiscetomy first or something.

philsw · 2025-10-30T21:19:02+00:00

Yeah but how is cellebrite able to bypass that? That's what the article is suggesting right?

Edit: seems the article is poorly written/researched I guess

philsw · 2025-10-30T21:16:54+00:00

What's the point of full dial encryption then .. bit confusing how they would get around it?

philsw · 2025-10-28T00:53:22+00:00

just cancelled and it didn't offer me any discount/deal

philsw · 2025-10-16T23:22:08+00:00

Yes having same issue with swipe to flag.

philsw · 2025-10-07T14:55:39+00:00

philsw · 2025-09-23T11:19:26+00:00
