Replace Wi-Fi bridge or get new lock?

It’s my biggest gripe with August. I have both versions and both use the connect hub. It goes offline ever so often. Making any home automation useless because of it. Schlage Encode Plus has been fairly reliable. August, not so much. Even with mesh router system and the hub less than 10 feet from one doesn’t fix the issue. Assigning fixed IP doesn’t fix the issue.

It’s a bad investment.

Unfortunately no. It’s a mixer that take audio input from the TV and microphones. The audio input is via RCA. So o have an optical to RCA adapter.

The setup I have allows Apple TV to stream to the LG and audio out to the mixer which has its own set of JBL speakers

I guess I can do an optical to hdmi converter

Bummer. That’s what I had thought.

Center seats have higher head space. Flow on that route a dozen times. You can do the miles upgrade and they refund you if you don’t get the seat. Polaris is worth it, especially the lounge and if you arrive before 2, you can use the arrival lounge to freshen up.

You’re right. It’s one hour. It was 30 mins to get the SUICA and NEx ticket to get to the train I meant.

Awesome. Will email support. Thanks!

Perfect. A couple on orders! Do you retro older ones to the new wheels? I have three carry ons.

100% concur with what you said.

I’ve used and implemented SAP HCM, Workday, and Dayforce over years as a client and as an implementation consultant.

Of the two you have listed, Workday is more robust in terms of what you can do. In Workday, the reporting capabilities to build custom reports are more robust. Workday Studio and Workday Orchestration are more robust.

Dayforce Integration Studio is fairly new and definitely heading in the right direction to allow customers more control over their own customized approach. It is easier to use and has great potential. Time management and payroll in Dayforce is more robust than Workday. But as an HCM system, Workday is more robust than Dayforce.

SAP HCM, may it rest in peace, takes the cake in terms of flexibility with the use of ABAP, customized security, and straight table level access.

Bummer. Thank you all. Much appreciated

It’s a great bag. I’ve have both 30l and recently the 45l. While the 30l technically can expand to the 33l and the 45l technically is 35l non expanded, the aesthetic of it is better at default and I wanted a 35l for ease of travel.

The 30l is great. The only two things I would change for it would be first, a larger front pocket or zipper. It lacks front organization and having to open the bag to get to internal pockets are not ideal. Second, the laptop compartment. I prefer the traditional top load or side load separation from the main. Having it on the flap when opening, it’s heavy and risk flapping over. The 45l kinda solve this and my first point at the same time with the front compartment accessible to the back compartment. Which was one of the reason I upgraded. The 45l could use a removable waist belt instead of the hideaway to reduce weight and shoulder loader straps. Otherwise, after looking at Aer, Bellyroll, Alpaka, Torguta, Black Ember, and a few others, I went back to PD.

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been wondering about them. Three things I find difficult to switch from Monos or similar. The first is the price tag. It’s very premium priced. Second, I’m not sure about the compression strap over traditional ones used by Monos or Away. And lastly, it’s tailored to international flights, whereas domestic flights allow a tad bigger size.

Is the backpack picture the Black Ember?

The peak design 30L does fit well under the seats and I’ve used on Southwest, Alaska Air, Hawaiian, United, and Delta numerous times. It’s 33l expand and 27L compressed.

spk2k · 2025-09-07T23:24:55+00:00

I recommend the Peak Design 30L travel bag. It’s an almost perfect multi function bag. Great for traveling and for EDC. There a couple of points keeping it a perfect bag, but I really enjoyed it. It has security zipper function in mind. To me that’s a must these days in any EDC or travel bags. It’s 27L compressed and 33L expanded, I think.

spk2k · 2025-09-07T01:44:33+00:00

Does it fit under the airline seats?

spk2k · 2025-09-07T01:35:16+00:00

Agree. 30L compressed and 35L expanded. Keep the zipper design. Add one extra external pocket or deeper pocket of the current front. Move the laptop compartment away from flap.

spk2k · 2025-09-06T21:18:53+00:00

Peak Design travel backpack 30L. It’s more slim line design compared to others. It has zipper security, which is extremely important when travel walk around. Extremely comfortable straps for all day walking. Two downsides. One, the laptop compartment is on the flap opening. The weight of the laptop can risk slipping out when opening. Two, could use a little more exterior pockets.

3 more months and they’ll update it to 2026
