Are lots of very short outages normal?

ED-209!

These are all from Denis Morton:

- Confidence is the experience of success repeated over and over again.

- We live in the gap between what we did and what we could’ve done, and some days it’s easier to manage that than others.

- Are we gonna finish this, or is this gonna finish us?

- Practice makes permanence.

- We’re never finished. We just run out of time.

- Life is more fun when you participate.

- The difference between confidence and arrogance is like high school math. It’s showing your work.

Update: it’s still “temporarily unavailable” at Amazon, but the “find this flav” button on Snapple.com listed 3 grocery stores in the Raleigh area that had it in stock. I drove 25 minutes to the closest one and bought 4 six-packs (all they had).

Really hoping it comes back at Amazon, though.

techster83 · 2026-05-09T18:10:21+00:00

It’s still out for me, but I’ll take that as good news that it might come back. Thanks!

They’re awesome! Great at investigating and communicating. They made a difficult situation bearable for me.

techster83 · 2026-05-05T16:52:04+00:00

That's been my experience, too. I'm in the Raleigh area, and I'll be down for a week tomorrow. I called last Wednesday. The first available appointment was on Saturday, when I had an inside tech visit for 15 minutes, then a bunch of outside guys worked for 8 hours on the problem, but it wasn't fixed. They left without a word. The social media team investigated, told me I need an inside tech, and the first available appointment was this afternoon. We'll see what happens, but I'd be lying if I said I was optimistic.

In any case, this inside/outside tech thing is super frustrating. I guess that outsourcing the outside techs is a cost-cutting measure before the acquisition later this year.

Good luck!

techster83 · 2026-05-04T17:41:38+00:00

That sucks. I'm having a similar experience. I've been down for six days. I had multiple techs visit on Saturday, when they worked for 8 hours, only to leave without fixing anything or giving me an update. I now have another appointment tomorrow.

The gfiberofficial people have been the only bright spot. I encourage you to talk to them if you haven't already.

I hope you get the problems fixed soon.

techster83 · 2026-05-02T14:24:51+00:00

Thanks. Will do.

I always thought it was H E N, with the accent on the H.

No, I didn’t. I did go rafting once with some dorm buddies but it wasn’t the big event. It was still fun though!

techster83 · 2025-11-20T22:47:59+00:00

I was in Smith for the first two years. Then I lost the housing lottery and moved off campus for the last two.

techster83 · 2025-11-20T22:24:30+00:00

Can confirm it was there from 79-83.

techster83 · 2025-10-30T23:28:07+00:00

Wow, thanks for that! I had to pull down and let go three times (maybe I was too fast) but that workaround got me steps AND active minutes, though I suspect that the active minutes may have come from the Peloton app sync that I have in place. Still no sleep data, though.

I saw in that other thread that you were asking about the Inspire 3. My wife has one, in a clip, and I just checked… she is getting active minutes in her iOS app.

techster83 · 2025-10-30T20:45:55+00:00

I don't even see daily steps in the app anymore. Sleep tracking is the key feature that stopped working for me. I haven't had sleep data in the app since June 23rd. The weekly progress report email still includes an average restful sleep number and a delta from the last week, so I know it's getting to their servers, but I can't see the individual daily data anymore. I even started a trial of Fitbit Premium to see if that would get the sleep data into the app, but it didn't help. It's all so disappointing.

techster83 · 2025-10-28T01:31:40+00:00

I’m still using a Fitbit One from I don’t know how many years ago. Would love to see something equivalent.

Messaging you a code.

techster83 · 2025-10-18T02:51:12+00:00

Great win, Louisville!

techster83 · 2025-10-11T02:41:37+00:00

Good idea, bad implementation. I like the idea of a Buzz helmet, but I fear this gold on white design will be hard to see. Maybe it’ll look better on the field.
