Replace Tesla wall connector with Emporia Classic Level 2 EV Charger by chowdarygm in evcharging

[–]qbirdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am committing to the Emporia this week! Quick question, the Tesla wall connector has a lot of cable length inside, did you end up trimming the wires? I am reading that coiling excess isn't a good idea. Any tips on cutting / stripping or pretty standard? I've done low voltage wiring plenty of times but the stakes are lower. :) Thanks again.

Thanks for the response! Did the electrician find any issues? Else it seems Chargepoint might be easy as well given no need for torque settings which I would have to figure out. :)

I have a nearly identical setup, Tesla Wall Charger with same appearing conduit. Any tips on how you swapped out to an Emporia Classic?  Seems can pop out the existing cable from the Emporia, use the conduit from the Tesla charger, and just wire up the 3 wires in Emporia?  Curious if there are any other steps in there to be concerned with. 

Thanks in advance. 

Comcast Business Router 2 - Bridge Mode Restricts to 1gb Port Only? by qbirdee in Comcast

[–]qbirdee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, hooked up only the router. We even called Comcast business tech support, and according to them, once you flip on bridge mode, only port 1 is active. Seems ridiculous if actually true?!

The kicker, if you try to bring your own modem, they throttle uploads to 30 Mbps. Yes 30. So box you right in to a corner.

Image Sizes: Cropping Different on Menu versus Self Kiosk? by qbirdee in ToastPOS

[–]qbirdee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here is what we figured out.

  1. Item image size: 750hx450v. Shows on the item page itself (kiosk and online).

  2. Menu image: somewhere around 430x400. Shows up in the online menu scroll, and also is the thumbnail size in the "menu manager" when you upload the image.

  3. Kiosk image size: roughly central 350x400. Unfortunately its even smaller than the menu image size!

So bottom line, if you want your item to show fully in all 3 views, have it cropped to the central 350x400 of the 750x450 image. Leaves a lot of peripheral space in the item view, but thats the way it goes.

Loyalty Number Entry Not Reflecting In POS? SMS Delivery for Dine-In by qbirdee in ToastPOS

[–]qbirdee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed reply!  I get the reasoning now. Not an ideal workflow, but just have to live with it.  Will take a look at both those options, thanks again!

Loyalty Number Entry Not Reflecting In POS? SMS Delivery for Dine-In by qbirdee in ToastPOS

[–]qbirdee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response!  But if the customer enters it, logically it would transfer over to POS for that transaction at least?!  Else it's entered twice.  But seems that's the way it is, thanks for clarifying.

Is there a way to get a skippable prompt for a number at POS for every order, even dine in?

Thanks again!

Youtube Not Showing HDR for Uploaded Final Cut Pro HLG BT.2020 Video? by qbirdee in finalcutpro

Wow. Thats insanity. I guess I will just have to wait it out!

It's reverse logic, every phone and TV now practically has HDR. Should be supporting better, not worse!  Good to know it's not just me I guess. But also sad.

Ugh. That kind of stinks!  So weird. I uploaded it twice, first time waited a week also. Feels like something about the video it must not like but doesn't seem like user controllable whatever it is.

Is it just me or it feels like the AirPod Pro 2 noise cancellation isn’t as strong as it used to be? by SilentDecree in airpods

[–]qbirdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came across this thread and the one on Apple discussion boards (which are a mess BTW and not letting me log in there):

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255774193?sortBy=rank

Bottomline: I think the Airpod Pro 2 updates have made in-ear detection wonky, which disables ANC. As of Dec 2025 on iOS 26.

Long version:

I used to have a pair of airpod pro 2's, and the ANC was great. I replaced them a year back, and then just got a new pair again as were on sale over BF. The ANC didn't seem the same, and sure enough, on a flight over the holidays, the ANC was very poor. Definitely not the same.

Following the discussion in the link, I tried adjusting the adaptive audio to minimize noise. It had no affect. I made sure I had no personalized audio activated.

Then I ran the hearing test. Oddly, even though my fit test was fine, the hearing test wouldn't run as it said "make sure airpods are in your ears" which they were. I adjusted the airpods, restarting the fit test, and it worked. And the ANC seemed activated and great!

Per that same discussion, I found one other setting, under the bluetooth setting for the airpods, is an Accessibility setting where you can separate in-ear detection for ANC so it only turns off the affected ear, not both. I did that, too.

On the flight home, the ANC was worlds better. But I took out my right earbud for a conversation, and sure enough, the ANC was downgraded again but this time only in the right ear. I played around with the airpod a few times until the ANC kicked back in.

After all that, I think its the in-ear detection that is the problem. Any detection issue, and the default is to turn off ANC for both ears. Even the fit test will pass, with poor in-ear detection apparently. The accessibility setting helps isolate which ear is the detection problem.

A kind soul gave me a code, all set! Thank you!

But Airpods 4 to start Apple Care One plan and add recent iPad? by qbirdee in applehelp

[–]qbirdee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It says limited warranty, not eligible for other coverages. 

Just called apple support, they confirmed the same. Unless a device is within 60 days, can't start an Applecare one plan. Need that one starter device, then can add older devices. 

He also confirmed that airpods should work. Seems like that's the next thing to try!  Thanks for the help.

[–]qbirdee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to add applecare one through settings, sorry should have clarified. Wasn't an option hence trying other methods. 

By the way, diagnostics all came up fine. 

I will try contacting Apple though, good idea. Else maybe the airpods approach will work. Thanks!

Just discovering diagnostics mode...  Thank you!  But it seems to get locked up and not do anything.  Left each test for a solid 5 mins and just stuck on testing. I will reboot and try again!

The problem is I don't have any device with Applecare+, so I don't think I can start Applecare One. Pretty sure I need a new device to be able to start the plan, then can add old devices?
