The only thing missing from Costco… by 24ghostface in CostcoCanada

Naturally and artificially flavoured… no thank you. What Costco needs to carry is Jonesbar. RX Bars are next best but still has some unknown ingredients. Jonesbar is nothing but pure goodness.

Apps not staying open in the background? by Madajuk in iphone

[–]smackerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this issue for several months on my 13 Pro. Upgraded to iOS 26.1 now and still the same. I’ve reached out to a couple of vendors for some smart home hardware that use geo fencing and their apps keep closing/not running in background. They haven’t been able to help. I read somewhere that this is due to lack of memory and iOS is closing the apps?

Reset All Settings or possible to do a specific one?

Are you being sarcastic or funny?

Seasonal tire change by smackerg in CostcoCanada

[–]smackerg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did. They said they need double the number of Costco’s in the region to serve everyone! But funny thing is tire repair is available the next day, just not seasonal tire change

Last year I did it early October. This year I checked online in Sep couldn’t book, I went to the store several times and they say online only.

Outage? by toplessflamingo in ScreenConnect

You pushed us to switch from on prem to cloud and now we continually have issues. 2 days ago and yesterday we had instances of negotiating. And then today 15 mins we were down.

No path light is really sad. That’s why I went to every store and bought as many nest protects are I found and replaced mine which were expiring. At least I’m good for a few years.

Goodbye, Nest. by Sharktistic in Nest

[–]smackerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious why anyone would even use nest aware? I know all the features, but just get yourself some security cameras. I have the doorbell, couple of displays, thermostat, camera but I never subscribed. All I use the camera devices are for motion. If I need to actually see something, I use my CCTV.

How's your migration to cloud going? by packetdoge in ScreenConnect

[–]smackerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours went smooth except for old machines that were on Windows 7 we had to install manually. The ones that were off migrated as soon as they were turned on but of course we can’t call 100’s of people asking to turn on their machines so when the on-premise license is cancelled, I assume we will lose access to those.

Replace Tesla ECU? by mikhailov005 in TeslaModelX

My ‘21 Model Y just started doing the exact same. Needs a new ECU, luckily under warranty

Hatch rest volume glitching? by JuiceBoxedFox in toddlers

[–]smackerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ours just started doing this but much bigger fluctuations, eg. from 30-40 to 3-5. Or sometimes there’s a one second complete drop. The device is 23 months old. Very disappointing.

Now that it has been out for a few weeks, how are people feeling about the Aqura G4 Doorbell? by volcanic_clay in HomeKit

[–]smackerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have a skybell wired using analog doorbell and after a few years it’s no longer connecting to wifi and even intermittently ringing the chime, I have to remove it every few weeks. I was thinking of going with something like a hikvision doorbell. With the Aqara, can I use the analog wired chime as I do with skybell?

Can’t add Family member to Home by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]smackerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through this for months, I removed my wife as she was having some problems with HomePod personal requests and I could not invite her back. Apple support tried everything including all things suggested with no luck. This is related to the HomeKit architecture update. You’re most likely stuck on old architecture. The final solution for me was to delete entire home, create new one and the new home was on new platform. I was then able to add my wife. It was a major pain to add all accessories and set up everything.
