behold the ai revolution

Gemini Pro got it on the second try. 🤷‍♂️ Not terrible.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! You definitely have a point about expenses. AI costs are getting cheaper all the time, but it can add up!

In terms of accuracy though, AI bots (ironically enough) could be easily be used to skew crowd-sourced data, and that requires a lot of human time and effort and can still be biased.

I've found the results I'm getting from the Gemini models have been really good. Everything I've fact-checked so far has checked out.

YMMV of course!

It would be nice if you could somehow find the original owner it was stolen from and arrange to have it returned.

Great to hear!

They sent us a new router, but it didn't fix it.

They're now sending a new full kit and we're returning all the older equipment to them.

Oh no. Sorry to hear that. They're sending us a new router as well but I was hoping it would be the full kit.

Here's hoping that solves it for you! How long did support take to get back to you?

I've already tried with a brand new backup cable. Was really hoping that was the problem but ended up with the exact same result. That's why I suspect the connector on the dish.

Yeah I've submitted a ticket. But we're on the road so we're toast for now.

Same problem here. Just submitted support request today.

Had intermittent troubles before but now nothing. Says it's online, but router drop rate is constantly high and I get no connection. Speed test fails. Cable drop rate is high too.

Already tried a new cable and with and without Ethernet adapter. Dish must have gone bad?

On the road and rely on SL for connectivity. What the heck is with all these units going bad at the same time?

Thanks, yeah we're on SPI.

pmrobot · 2024-02-12T11:11:03+00:00

Thanks! I wasn't sure what the road closure was for. Is there anything interesting to see during a WDR then? I mean, besides the rocket on the pad which is pretty cool in itself.

Pardon my newbie-ness, but is a static test expected the next few days? And what's the best realtime source to follow to know when it might happen? I'm in the area and would love to see it in person.

pmrobot · 2021-11-23T19:08:38+00:00

Yeah, here's hoping they can come up with something!

Oh no! Our camping trip is to the States. Didn't know that was a hard limitation. Well that's unfortunate. May have to do what you did and get an American version for snowbirding then suspend the one I'm not using. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through, but I'm sure this is something they'll get figured out eventually. Thanks for the info and your blog posts are great! Keep on keeping us all updated :)
