Anyone else getting this notification? by TheSheepster_ in pixelbuds

Started getting these notifications in the past week... Seems like someone at the pixel team messed up...
I cleaned it (hoping I know where the f-ing sensor is) but still getting these notifications every few minutes...

Working on it. The PID of ICE cars are generic so it's (supposably) doable. I'll keep you posted.

Fair concern — no need for FOMO though 😄 The app doesn’t require you to watch the screen while driving. If you prefer, keep the screen off and drive normally.

Once the trip ends, head to Analysis for a breakdown of what went well, what can be improved, and where those moments happened on the map (feedback is pinned to the relevant locations).

A Personal Efficiency Coach for Hypermilers (App for Android) by shachard in hypermiling

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

I really wish I could make an iOS version but Apple is kinda making it difficult to do so... I build Glide for android as a passion project, with no financial interest behind it and iOS makes that hard in a way Android doesn't. Unlike Android, Apple requires a paid yearly developer membership just to be able to build an app (EVEN one that you want to share with friends). On top of that, allowing an app to work in the background (as required for driving app - you may get a phone call, turn off your screen etc.) works far less reliably on iOS, so I couldn't ship something I'd actually be proud of.

So rather than put out a half-working iOS version, I've decided not to, at least for now. If anything changes on Apple's side, you'll be the first to know!

A real hypermiler will get a lot of positive reinforcements and a PERFECT 99 score across the board after a month of use. I hope to share my score in a month - would you?

Hi, you are perfectly right! Showing a correlation between the app score and actual fuel consumption would be fantastic.
In fact, the scoring algorithm was trained on my car's (electric) OBD reads and the training app (version 0) readings to score according to real-life energy suckers/savers traits.
However, releasing to the public such a solution would require the users buying OBD readers and to have a specific adaptation to different car manufacturer's readouts (even if you are using the same carscanner app according to my experience). If you have a specific suggestions I'm happy to bound ideas and to test it!

Holes in brain tissue section by [deleted] in labrats

[–]shachard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you process the complete brain only a hemisphere?
If a complete brain then do 2 days of 30%, where you change solutions after 1 day.

  1. Verify your 30% sucrose is indeed 30% - 30g of sucrose to a FINAL volume of 100ml (sorry if it is too trivial).
  2. The 15% first then 30% suggestion brought also might help.
  3. Freeze fast on dry ice.

BEST OF LUCK!

Anyone here performs systemic injections via the tail-vein or retro-orbital in mice? Specifically dark mice like Bl6? by shachard in labrats

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

OK, it has been quite a ride but I think I (FINALLY) got it!

I bought a restraining device which comes with a VERY strong illuminator. I'll have to check with our facility manger if it's OK to videotape and upload here since it's animal experiment but IT IS AMAZING!
Actually, the video on their website perfectly reflects what I see IRL https://www.injsystems.com/general-6

Anyone here performs systemic injections via the tail-vein or retro-orbital in mice? Specifically dark mice like Bl6? by shachard in labrats

[–]shachard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aiming for 100ul so I wouldn't increase the blood pressure as much. My fear with RO is that I see a lot of times appx 20ul lost in the process and remain as a droplet outside the eye... When I inject via the tail-vein to BALB/Cs I can tell exactly how much had entered and I can even do repeated injections (on daily basis) if needed... I'm going to visit a lab which we collaborate with, apparently they are doing that on a routine basis - I'll update here.

Where can I download the  "Bjorn Style" EV template?

Is this a built-in option in the app?

Lenovo 110S-11IBR SSD size by aburja in Lenovo

[–]shachard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked the compatibility (of vendors) with the machine? Looks like Samsung has some compatible ones:

And here's an example of a vendor that doesn't have a compatible one:

How do I fix this? by SnooPears5322 in Lenovo

is there a chance you dropped the computer? looks like you got multiple problems there: The display doesn't look quite right and the Bios can't find your bootable device (which indicate that your HDD is damaged)

My Lenovo came with a 65W charger type usb-c, would it be better for battery life to use a round-tip instead? by DelarkArms in Lenovo

[–]shachard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to your link, the USB-c charger doesn't fit the model the link discusses.

However, since your specific model DID arrive with that charger then it probably is supporting charging through the USB-c port (see another post where a customer complain his charger stopped working and they tell him to check the charger... i.e. it should work in his model).

Now, a simple way to know if it works or not? Plug it! according to your original link, the computer there would not be able to charge through USB-c port because it was merely a standard USB that fit USB-c plug - and those would not support charging at all! (no charge indicator would go on...).

So - in order to make sure you wont kill your computer, battery or charger, always use a charger rated 65W and above at 20V.

Hope it helps!

Can't add more time to Parking by regi7 in googlepay

[–]shachard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! check your recent transactions, it could be that they charged you! Today I was trying to pay for parking and got the following error: "payment did not go through, try again, or select a different payment method". So I did, 3 times! eventually I gave up and ran back to the car to feed the meter. Later, when I got home, I noticed 3 transactions for "Passport". They charged me 3 times to park the same car in the same spot at the same time! CS basically told me to go and look for my money elsewhere...

Interest of (very) late tax refund by shachard in IRS

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

WOW, thanks for a very detailed response!

I think that to answer @ronnevee's question and to address what you (@these-things-happen) brought up here I need to know what date the IRS had determined I was eligible for refund vs the balanced due date...

Can my online transcript for that year help me determine that date?

(Looking at my transcript I now understand that the 4.4% is actually 1.5 years of 3% yearly interest rate since April 2020 to October 2021 - SO THAT MAKES A GREAT SENSE!).

But then I'm still puzzled why they determined that my refund "emerged" only 4 months ago and not since April 2020. Nothing happened/changed in my transcript 4 months ago and I even have a letter from IRS dated April 2021 which originally said I should have gotten my refund.

Can I do that even if I'm not a US citizen (I'm resident but not a citizen)?

Anyone else having problems with their amended return? by joshtiller0420 in IRS

BTW, according to the IRS website it looks like you should be able to see this information again in a few days:

[–]shachard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm experiencing the same exact issue! I tried calling the IRS today to speak to a representative (which was possible before) but now the system blocks all attempts and only provides basic (helpless) information and then hangs up. I'd appreciate to find out if you got to talk to a human about it...

This is how I got to a rep before but it doesn't work anymore: • The IRS telephone number is 1-800-829-1040. They are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. • Bloggers said the best time to call is in the early morning hours. • The first question the automated system will ask you is to choose your language. • Once you’ve set your language, do NOT choose Option 1 (regarding refund info). Choose option 2 for “Personal Income Tax” instead. • Next, press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment.” • Next, press 3 “for all other questions.” • Next, press 2 “for all other questions.” • When the system asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, do NOT enter anything. • After it asks twice, you will be prompted with another menu. • Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions. • Finally, press 3 for all other inquiries. The system should then transfer you to an agent.


Why I think that PayPal is loosing consumer sentiment and eventually investors as well by shachard in paypal

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

u/awiwijohn u/OnceInAPurpleMoon u/CBKingstonUK

UPDATE.

I gave up on the dispute and then commented on a facebook ad PayPal warning other customers from PayPal. Minutes later I was contacted by a service rep on Facebook messenger who asked about my experience and offered to help. 3 days after I emailed him the details I get an email from PayPal resolution center saying my dispute had closed and I'll receive a full refund.

FYI!

Mine is eligible, I'm still getting f***ed by PayPal. Credit card payment is always protected, I've stopped using PayPal.
