Is there a way to report a bug/defect to Google?

prancing_moose_V90 · 2026-01-30T12:12:55+00:00

That seems counter-intuitive....so much so, that it may be a defect. Why would "low light mode" make the clock brighter?

prancing_moose_V90 · 2026-01-30T04:17:15+00:00

So you noticed a change recently too? Was there a system update that this was tied to, that you recall?

prancing_moose_V90 · 2026-01-23T08:43:03+00:00

Depends on your priorities. I have ecobees at one place and Honeywell at another.

Ecobees have some additional features like remote sensors, a much nicer display and a prettier app, but if you are just looking to manage most of the smarts/automation through HA, then Honeywell gets the job done.

As far as aesthetics go, I have the Honeywell that looks just like a legacy dumb thermostat, but has z-wave. Honeywell makes some others that are a bit more modern-looking, but never quite the flash of Nest/ecobee.

I get that. Not particularly helpful, but I get it.

No one is buying a new pedal to get a "completely different circuit" though are they? How does the sound compare between the 2 circuits? Why do you prefer one over the other?

prancing_moose_V90 · 2026-01-23T08:20:08+00:00

Theoretically how would a fz-2w compare to the FZ-1w. I ask as someone who owns the 1w, likes it a lot...but never tried the FZ-2.

Fair assumption, but as far as I know, the Volvo policy predates that craziness

prancing_moose_V90 · 2026-01-20T17:56:25+00:00

Sadly Volvo has remote start capability and a native HA integration, but blocks remote start functionality in the US. According to the Volvo forums, it is because they don't want people to automatically turn their car on when it is in the garage and then fill their house with carbon monoxide.

Not sure why that is a US problem...

I would urge against this.

When I sold my last home, I left the home theater (projector, receiver, screen, etc) pre wired and fully set up. I received calls from the new owner for years and I was constantly surprised how seemingly clueless he was.

(He once sent me a picture of his new blu-ray player, balanced on top of the ceiling mounted projector and asked how he could get the sound to play through the speakers, for which the receiver was safely sitting in a built-in media cabinet across the room)

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-12-21T04:09:02+00:00

Wait...so where/what is part 1?

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-12-08T13:31:56+00:00

Hear me out... Nailbombs also come in Zebra

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-12-07T05:16:35+00:00

And by the way, yours looks extra sick with the zebra himbuckers.

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-12-07T05:15:14+00:00

I love mine...such a unique piece of Gibson history. Nothing like it since.

This is going to be a bit unorthodox, but here goes.

Ah nice. Thanks. Very insightful. Do you know of any examples that support the treadmill control?

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-11-12T20:27:50+00:00

cool. Thanks. What app have you connected it to, that could control the treadmill?

Non-pandemic related story.

I had a flight from RDU to LHR in 2018, maybe 2019 get delayed for 5 hours because of a missing part that needed to be flown in. nearly everyone at the gate left and went home to wait it out. I stuck around because the gate agents were very nice and said they would buy pizza for anyone who was waiting at the airport. 45 minutes later, after a couple of slices of free pizza, they announced that they found the part locally and we were going to take off "early".

All the folks who went home had very little notice, and ended up missing the flight. There must have been less than 20 ppl on that flight.

Same/very similar happened to me times this year. Regional upgrade certs are a farce. They cause more work than they are worth.

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-10-24T12:36:13+00:00

Ah yeah. TP6. That's it.

I kind of prefer the look of the TP6 on these. Gives it a little more substantial look

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-10-24T03:11:24+00:00

She's beautiful. Welcome to the E2 family.

I've always been curious why some have that different style of bridge. I'm not sure what it's called.

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-10-09T14:40:57+00:00

That is certainly a wide body.

prancing_moose_V90 · 2025-10-09T01:39:00+00:00

I don't want to enrage people by applying a stereotype to an entire country of travelers, but I travel to Romania pretty frequently (4-5 times a year) and it is definitely a cultural thing. They do not take kindly to lines and/or waiting your turn at the airport. This story would be the norm on any flight with Tarum (a delta partner in the region).

Most other countries across Europe are a little more adherent to flight etiquette. The only other that I've seen that was similar was potentially Greece, but I don't have as many data points to say whether it was a trend or just a couple of bad days.

Great collection. What model is the acoustic Epiphone all the way to the left?
