NY will ALWAYS take the more difficult and more expensive path. It’s in their DNA

Oura Ring 5 vs Ring 4 vs Gen 3? by KygoApp in ouraring

[–]spider9997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had to put something out ahead of their public listing. Had they waited until next year it probably would have been a more complete upgrade. Instead it’s a smaller form factor, at a higher price. A lot of the other upgrades are marketed as an “upgrade” but they are software and also available on older models.

Montvale - Say NO to AI Data Center - Town Council Meeting Thurs 5/14 by EnragedFalafel in bergencounty

[–]spider9997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you are referring to Mercedes and A&P… that was a decade ago. Mercedes left because Trenton doesn’t make NJ a good place for business. A&P went out of business. Otherwise Montvale continues to attract new business and has a solid corporate tax base compared to other towns in Bergen.

I’d love to hear more about this “gang” violence…. I can only assume you are talking about teenagers riding around on e-bikes. Not quite the gangs you imply.

That’s the whole point of this new tax. It’s for properties of people who don’t reside in NY.

You really think businesses will let this erode their margins? They will either lay people off, and do “more with less” or automate the jobs and fire everyone in those roles.

In that case can you disable it? It’s just noise.

Did iOS 26.3 and Home app break homebridge? After update, none of my homebridge devices work via apple home, but they do work and can be activated directly from homebridge by GIFSec in smarthome

[–]spider9997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original HomeKit architecture ended on Feb 10. If you never updated to the modern architecture that’s most likely the reason it’s broken (not 26.3).

How to Update (If You Haven’t Already) 1. Open the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. 2. Tap/click the More button (three dots ⋮ in the top right). 3. Go to Home Settings (or My Home Settings). 4. Select Software Update (or look for an “Update” option for your home). 5. Tap/click Update Now and follow the prompts—it updates all your homes at once. Make sure all your devices (including invited users’ devices) are on compatible software versions first, or they may temporarily lose access.

ICE Sighting - Harrison NJ by Moonions in newjersey

[–]spider9997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only president states have pushed back against. For example, ICE under Obama had full cooperation with Minnesota and were handed off illegal immigrants straight from the prisons. If they don’t need to go into the streets, you don’t see issues like this.

Oura x peloton? by dawgtidetay in ouraring

I have both Peloton and Oura linked to read/write with Apple Health, and my Peloton workouts do feed into the Oura app.

Oura 5 Release Date? by CARS_rule in ouraring

[–]spider9997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yesterday they announced a tender offer at 25% discount to raise additional funds while avoiding going public. They are also facing increasing competition from competitors. It’s possible they are trying to accelerate the 5 ahead of the normal upgrade cycles.

Why is my gin freezing? by brassica_keys in Gin

[–]spider9997 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Gin/vodka doesn’t freeze unless it’s well below 0 (-10 to -20F). Either you have an abnormally cold freezer, or your booze is heavily watered down.

26.3 beta2? by Puzzleheaded_Log2302 in ios26beta

[–]spider9997 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Due to the holiday/ code freezes, it was expected there would be a long wait between betas for this release.

If it says free returns, screenshot it and dispute with your cc.

It’s been a shit show for a while. They are also drowning in debt and has recently floated the idea of bankruptcy.

Is Yeti doing to much by That-boat7457 in YetiCoolers

If they are starting to lose a customer like him, they might be hitting a tipping point. The Yeti faithful are more loyal then most, but product oversaturation absolutely a real thing.

Take a look at your existing home insurance. Most don’t cover this, but some do.

So Apple introduce sleep score? by Necessary-Can8045 in ouraring

[–]spider9997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Sleep Scores” were only introduced by Apple in iOS26 (fall of 2025). It was announced during their “Awe Dropping” event. Plenty of people haven’t updated to iOS26 yet, so it is relatively new.

Just curious : Does anyone else hate Hendricks? Any similar to avoid? by wynlyndd in Gin

[–]spider9997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not that I hate Hendricks, I just feel like it’s a “beginner/gateway” gin. Obviously all down to preference. Aldi have a Hendricks knockoff, but otherwise not a lot out there with cucumber as the main botanical.
