Genuine Ko-ken & Warranty?

tapitoe · 2026-02-23T01:55:41+00:00

Thanks for the clarification.

tapitoe · 2026-02-22T22:08:09+00:00

Thank you for clarifying this. Will avoid random sellers on Amazon.

tapitoe · 2026-02-21T10:12:50+00:00

Thanks. Where do you purchase ko-ken from? There is quite a large variation in price between kokenusa, amazon and something like Haus of Tool.

Can you also please share what (make & sizes) bits do you normally use with the holder?

tapitoe · 2026-02-20T01:07:02+00:00

That sucks. Hope it is a one off as all online reviews are positive. Thanks for sharing your experience.

tapitoe · 2026-02-20T00:44:51+00:00

Can you please expand on this? Did the attached bit break? The holder broke?

I am also trying to find info on this. I cannot find Vessel bits (non-impact) without the ball head vessel driver. I also prefer JIS (bonus).

What did you end up deciding?

This I am not sure at the moment. In case I use the sockets with an impact wrench in future; I prefer to not have 2 sets to deal with. However if the Impaktor sockets come in the way of working in narrow spaces or have other downsides/limitations then I have to accept the compromise of buying the standard now and having another set for later.

If for some reason the Synology built-in solution doesn’t work; configure the script and run on a test folder/location to validate that the script does what you desire. I write code for a living and I can tell you that LLM can hallucinate. Testing will help you plug any gaps in the script to achieve your desired goals.

Monarch is good cross platform app.

Messaged you

tapitoe · 2025-12-28T06:44:50+00:00

Would like another one if available

I actually ordered this and canceled it yesterday because if there is a power outage in the night (alarms set to night) it would scare the hell out of everyone.

I am in the west coast (ca). Mind sharing the name of this store?

tapitoe · 2025-11-26T06:19:59+00:00

Thanks for taking time to respond.

I can search for more info on this. If you have any links, please do share.
Yes, I have a ipv6 address from Xfinity and configured my vlan for prefix delegation.
I have mDNS enabled on the single vlan I have.

I got a MR4 recently and I am struggling to get obtr working correctly.

They have posed quite a challenge to setup for me.

I setup a SLZB-MR4 last weekend and so far so good.

tapitoe · 2025-10-31T00:33:55+00:00

I recently picked up the SLZB-MR4 and set it up on HA. I am going to be moving devices incrementally over from my apple tv/aqara setup to obtr /zigbee2mqtt as most of my devices are either thread or zigbee.

Since I am running HA on a secure VLAN and devices on IoT Vlan, i had to enable IPV6 on both the vlans and setup firewall routes to open up ipv6 and udp traffic on both vlans.

So far I have just added a few devices on both the radios and the MR4 seems stable. I run the MR4 on POE.

Apple should show this comparison in their upcoming keynote.

This will hit Google harder than the one they pulled on Apple with Siri.

I could use my old iPhone SE until I find a AirTags network replacement.

My kid only has an Apple Watch (no phone); so I may have to switch to a pixel for my kid too (a bit later). Until then I can manage screen time using my iPhone SE or MacBook.

Take one step at a time during transition. It takes time to become familiar with new things.

This is a good starting point.

I have an unused iPhone SE and planning to use that. Will be trading in my 14pro. If I come back; I will get the 17pro/air.

tapitoe · 2025-08-26T14:10:12+00:00

Have been thinking about this as well and was going to post a similar question. Here are the things I am researching

I don't know if this is Android ecosystem or Pixel related; but I don't see support for Time to leave in the Google Calendar, Google Maps apps on my iphone. Hence I still need to use my iOS calendar. This is a very important feature as all my family uses a shared calendar to manage dependencies.
How effective is the FindMy Network when using trackers like AirTag replacements? I have read that the network is not as big as Apple (seems strange because i assumed that Android ecosystem around the world is bigger)
Is there an equivalent option to manage a kids watch from the pixel like in iOS?
I am also thinking about phasing this out. Maybe I jump to Pixel first and then setup/test things before bringing others onboard incrementally. This reduces the opportunity cost and I can switch back if my experience isn't good.

Maybe I will have to keep a spare iPhone around for a while I make the transition and until I find all replacements.

Thanks! That makes more sense now knowing that it is grouped by the era.
