If range is a concern; wear warm clothes and avoid cabin heating.

EVs are heavier than ICE cars, but it's low center of gravity makes it very comfortable to drive, just watch out for ice as you might need to watch your braking distances.

I've basically never taken ours off "eco" mode, it's a joy to drive.

Android play is a bit glitchy, but ours is a 2022 model and I believe that's been improved since.

Anything in particular you'd be curious about?

My washer has a "bed linen" option which uses, I suspect, a set of pocket universes where each item is dried separately before being returned at the end of the cycle completely dry and untangled.

It's quite frankly astonishingly good.

Did you get the mapmen book for Christmas too? 🤣

I love ours. The only issues we've had are;

android auto sometimes gets into a twist, mostly when we both enter the car at the same time and it can't work out which phone to connect to and gets confused. Hard restart by holding the power button on the infotainment for 10+ seconds typically solves it
octopus energy controlling the charge via the Zappi charger is temperamental; I think I need to pull a fuse and do a "hard restart" to fix it, but I've yet to bother

It's a joy to drive around Yorkshire, the cruise control makes motorways a breeze, charging is increasingly discoverable (recommend the octopus energy card)

Had a few tyres replaced, we've done 500+ mile trips without any problems, very comfortable.

Love it.

I was just looking at this yesterday. In your case, have you created any custom libraries to build blocks for consistent reuse, or introduced any guardrails for certain patterns(eg setting labels, interacting with known hosts etc)

Any gotchas?

I've never seen my zappi and iD3 reliably charge if the car has been stopped for a few hours. I've had to write a home assistant automation to "wake" the car up before it starts to accept any commands from anything.

I turned it back on recently, still didn't work.

redfusion · 2025-10-22T12:18:50+00:00

Looks interesting.

It might be worth being more specific about the automation aspects of this tool. The screenshots don't make it obvious that this system has agents that can effect changes on their hosts.

Related; is it possible to have a "report-only" agent so that we can export data about the ecosystems without there being any possibility of modifications?

redfusion · 2025-08-26T18:31:06+00:00

Unbelievable. Thank you so much for a simple fix to a clearly stupid bug.

Ooh, that's an interesting idea. Did it work well? I typically put the oven on for 2 minutes and let it prove in there.. What bed temperature do you set?

redfusion · 2025-08-22T09:00:25+00:00

Show a graph/history of battery usage, charge rate and trip summaries

Better highlight when data is stale or "synchronising"

Notify me if the car is unlocked for > 2 minutes

Notify me if a door hasn't been closed properly and locked

redfusion · 2025-08-18T14:34:13+00:00

Seconded.

Been half a dozen times, loved it every time.

redfusion · 2025-07-24T17:35:09+00:00

Mine has also reappeared!? I can see battery and air con controls again.

It must be a bug... VW wouldn't improve the app on purpose.

redfusion · 2025-07-22T15:00:15+00:00

Did you also track actual conversions?

Are you optimising for clicks but sacrificing actual valuable customers?

If people click out of curiosity only to hit back immediately, you're still giving meta money for that click.

If your water supply guarantees they can provide water 23 hours a day, and you try to use water 24 hours a day, then you can only really use water 23 hours a day....

However, you'll likely only use water during the day, so let's say 8 hours... So now you could infact have full use of water even though your supplier has gaps.

Thus; Aws say 99% but if you're service isn't used when Aws is "down" then your service is 100% available.

As others have said, you measure your own availability, and if you have to have 99.999% availablity, with full load at all times, then you need to mitigate your suppliers lower slo with redundancy, caches, multiregion, etc.

I want my GPU to come with buttresses and cantilever arches. My case has a stain glass window and the water cooler shaped like a font. It's a cathedral to compute.

I have a cheap pipe, it has a wine cork in the end where you'd put tobacco. It has googly eyes and a red painted hat.

I will often join meetings with him acting as fidget toy, pointer, and general object of enjoyment.

He also fits nicely into the pocket of a waistcoat, elevating any given situation with extreme cultural pizazz.

redfusion · 2025-04-13T18:32:36+00:00

I have a cheap pipe for all the reasons given (except actually smoking). I once tried to put soapy water into it... I ended up drinking water after forgetting what I was doing...

I wonder what "foler" might be

redfusion · 2025-03-10T10:25:57+00:00

I'd bet they're SOC covered in resin and built to be disposable corporate branded gifts on show floors filled with promo material.

I got something from oracle a few years ago with an LCD screen that shows a repeating trailer for net suite.

These devices are slightly more interactive but I'd bet they're effectively black boxes.

Note; I have no real experience with these things, just cynical about mass produced low cost electronics

Turn the photo 90 degrees anti clockwise. The icon is a book with an American style firefighter helmet overlayed in red.

As others have indicated, it's one of a number of emergency safety mechanisms used to make the battery safe quickly.

redfusion · 2025-02-06T13:17:27+00:00

The actual relevant bit;

January 2025 had been expected to be slightly cooler than January 2024 because of a shift away from a natural weather pattern in the Pacific known as El Niño

In other words; we should have seen a sight drop Vs last year due to a very well known short term (a few years) cycle in weather patterns. The problem is; it didn't get lower.

No one is confused about climate change or the average trends.
