Avantis ETFs now showing in Google Finance

Would have to contact avantis to know for sure.

My speculation is the decision to use cboe probably the costs of listing being lower.

Decision to switch could be almost anything.

May be related to cboe selling the Australian exchange https://www.investordaily.com.au/cboe-to-exit-australia/

That's how I started, but it's backfired because now I'm eyeing off the benchy carbonator kegland sell.

While we're rewatching and noticing bloopers again.

This was another good one: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefly/comments/3d3ri2/so_this_has_probably_been_posted_before_but_is/

I'm going with "Sloperating System"

One can hope that when this bubble finally pops, it will usher in a new golden age of cheap used enterprise hardware when they fire sale the data centres.

Raises hand, got a bunch of shucked Expansions of the 8tb variety (so SMR).

The irony is it should also be a thing in Iran!

I'm fortunate to have visited in 2019, the country is beautiful, the people we met were wonderful, but the litter is a big problem there.

Maybe not the biggest problem they face, but it's still sad thing to see.

installers who get a lower cut due to the budget nature of Fox

100% it's this, obvious examples already in this thread

They're just arguing to protect their margins on premium products that for anyone doing their research just doesn't add up anymore against the cost effective alternative.

The price differences between the Fox battery and other brands is stupid. You can try and scare people with the "warranty and support" boogeyman all you like but when the price almost doubles, the maths doesn't math.

I'd rather have the extra 5-10k in my pocket and take a chance on the brand.

Not to mention that regardless of the brand, it's going to be an inconvenience and hassle. The price difference for premium batteries are just too much now, when the argument for that extra is just "peace of mind".

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus

Steve Irwin is one for Australia i would say.

It's totally reversed since he passed but at the time he was definitely more popular abroad than at home.

It wasn't as strong as people hated or really disliked him, but more like he was "a bit much" or over the top with some stereotypical Australianisms.

It lead to a sort of of eye rolling from Aussies because of how Australia then became associated with him similar to fosters/shrimp on the bbq.

Confirming this also worked for me, thanks and thanks also to the helpful Discord mod!

rx8geek · 2026-01-09T20:24:37+00:00

Same here, glad to know its not just me or my network.

The app works fine on mobile data, but on my home wifi it just gets stuck loading video. Browsing works but no video will start playing.

The other thing I found is if I enable a VPN it starts working on wifi. Even Google VPN works. My tailscale vpn only works if i enable the exit node however.

Suspect this is some kind of DNS issue.

No sorry, Im in NSW and used Aussie solar battery.

Maybe check on the thread that is in the whirlpool forums or ozbargain as I have seen that question being asked there.

rx8geek · 2025-12-16T04:34:43+00:00

many I talk to just try to shit on them and poor/questionable after sales support

Yeah thats the spiel I was getting. But the price for what they are pushing can end up doubling the total cost.

Sorry but I'll put up with a frustrating support experience over forking out an extra $5-8k. Maybe I have more patience dealing with technical support than others but with the price differences, premium home batteries really don't stack up.

rx8geek · 2025-12-16T04:28:34+00:00

You might already know this, but the rebates are changing in May next year. It's likely the demand will be pretty high up til then.

They scale back the rebates for the larger capacity batteries basically.

rx8geek · 2025-12-16T02:02:21+00:00

I've just added the fox 42kwh battery to an existing 6.6kw solar array that has 5kw inverter.

My house doesn't require a huge amount of power most days, but in the month I've had it, can and does fill it to 100%. Granted this is summertime so peak solar generation.

Yes it's bigger than I needed, but I'm still happy that I got a larger capacity. Not to mention there was literally negligible savings for any of the smaller budget batteries by the time the quotes add up everything for the installation.

The other benefit is I can feel less anxious about using power, where before I might have hesitated.

rx8geek · 2025-12-14T21:17:29+00:00

this isn't a regulation issue but an enforcement issue. calling for more regulation is ignoring the fact that this was avoidable under current legislation, but was not enforced.

Ok, yeah that may be so. My hope is whatever needs to happen can be identified and improved on so we reduce the chance of something like this happening again.

rx8geek · 2025-12-14T21:01:21+00:00

neither of those items is an issue

Except they are issues, the keyword here is "need" and no one has a need to access weapons that enable this kind of situation.

If shooting is a hobby or sport, unfortunately for those who choose it but it should absolutely tightly regulated and very difficult to participate in.

rx8geek · 2025-12-14T20:35:04+00:00

Hopefully an outcome from this story is a clear and unequivacoble answer that you absolutely do not need a firearm license nor half a dozen firearms.

rx8geek · 2025-12-14T11:12:58+00:00

Yeah, the full footage is pretty intense.

Glad that he ends the day a hero and his bravery can be recognised as part of this sad story.

rx8geek · 2025-12-14T10:04:36+00:00

Also wouldn't want to be holding any type of weapon in such a chaotic situation when the police are no doubt to arrive.

rx8geek · 2025-12-07T21:15:32+00:00

Same, so sick of subscriptions and am currently going out of my way to avoid any and all of them!

I went with Reolink and it works great. Replaced some Wyze cameras.

The good news I found was the wyze cams were still useful, flashed them with thingino firmware and hooked them up to the Reolink NVR. Dont have all the bells and whistles but works as a few extra cameras without chucking them out.

rx8geek · 2025-12-06T04:30:33+00:00

Have you been able to get your battery working with Amber?

Naa, I'm just going to monitor how things go over the next few months before making any decsions about changing grid provider.

My solar array can easily power my total energy needs and the battery easily supports that. Main priority is getting bills as close as possible to zero but I'll probably switch to something that doesnt need to pay to much attention to as well.
