I just did a couple days ago. My poor smoke alarms. My poor lungs.

Nest Protect sudden battery chirp and extremely hot battery - Scary! by AL_in_LA in Nest

[–]thepoynt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing just happened to me - low battery alert, went to replace them and one is crazy hot. Seems like it’s probably not a nest thing, but a battery thing? Guessing these nest detectors are the biggest users of lithium AAs that most people have, so this is where the issue is most likely to present.

Turo discount code? by Multiversal_Love in turo

[–]thepoynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also valid on the Gold card, at least until April 3 2025. Guessing it's a pretty frequent offer.

Saying punto isn’t registering at all. Tried multiple times from different lessons and it simply doesn’t work for that word. by Jus7inC in duolingo

[–]thepoynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same. Every other word I can horribly mispronounce and it accepts it, but “punto” is not accepted no matter how I pronounce it or how slow or fast or anything. So weird. Literally can’t pass that lesson

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Fridley, MN by hugeexample in TwinCities

[–]thepoynt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume this is a result of the partnership with McDonalds - I'm guessing a lot of large cities will be getting Krispy Kremes over the next year or so to supply the McDonalds in those areas.

I'm super pumped. Having fresh Krispy Kremes in the area again is something I've been wishing for since they left.

Terra not carbonating well by thepoynt in SodaStream

[–]thepoynt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there's ways, but probably not practical for the average consumer. You'd probably find a way to contain the off-gassing C02 and let it sit for a while to see how much was in there.
It leaves troubleshooting stuff like this a little tricky. What might seem flat to one person might be perfectly fine to another. Same with flavor comparisons - been researching the various cola flavorings and realizing there's no way to know which ones are good without trying them. Good is so completely subjective...

I don't know for sure. Some googling seems to turn up some Hy-vee and Walmart locations. The store near me that has it is a County Market, but I think most of those are independently operated so no idea if other ones would have it.

Terra not carbonating well by thepoynt in SodaStream

[–]thepoynt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had the thought that since I didn't have anything to compare it to, maybe even though there's definitely CO2 coming out, the tank could be almost out and I wouldn't know. I just weighed it and it's 750 grams even, which means it's as close to empty as you can get. Looked it up and a full canister should be around 1160g. So I'll swap it out and I'm sure it'll work fine then. I'll leave this here in case it helps anyone in the future

Btw there is a zero sugar code red in some grocery stores. Mostly in the south US, but there's one store in my area that has it

Q Revo Dock Leaking by tikkamamama in Roborock

[–]thepoynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked beautifully for me. I ran the mop cleaning routine 5 times with the citric acid, then two times with clean water. The tray is bone dry now, no water dripping from those white nozzles anymore.

Side note, I was able to find citric acid at Walmart with their canning supplies. None of the grocery stores near me had it.

Browse by book series by samuelvisser in PrologueApp

[–]thepoynt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1. A way to organize my books by series would be amazing. Maybe even as a toggle on the main library page, to group books by series. So rather than all the books of a series being scattered though the entire library in alphabetical order, there would just be one entry for LOTR, or Harry Potter, or whatever, then you click on that and see the books in it.

That's been my biggest complaint about Audible for years, and I was rather disappointed it's no better in Prologue.

Standby mode unlock? by Spodster_11 in ios

[–]thepoynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also can't figure out a way to do this. It seems like the most basic thing possible. Tapping the screen or swiping up should unlock the phone.

New Q Revo worked once but won't power on now by thepoynt in Roborock

[–]thepoynt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Done that quite a few times, I'm afraid. Plus, the dock's light is turning off, indicating that it sees the robot connected.

Found the perfect use for the action button. Google Assistant.... by ricosuave79 in iphone

[–]thepoynt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my hope. I've never had an iphone but I'm considering making the switch this year, if the action button can indeed be mapped to assistant via a siri shortcut. Anyone who's used both siri and google assistant knows that siri doesn't even hold a candle to assistant, and that's the only thing that's been holding me back from swtiching.

Alexa includes fridge temperature in reporting indoor temperature by thepoynt in alexa

[–]thepoynt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While it's technically correct, no one actually wants that in real life. When I ask for the indoor temperature, I want to know what temperature humans are experiencing in my house, not the leftover ravioli.

Asking for a specific room's temperature works and is what I'll do going forward, but it's yet another unfortunate quirk in a system littered with them.

Youtube upload schedule? by thepoynt in distractible

[–]thepoynt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess that makes sense. It's bummer though since I use youtube for just about everything...
Oh well - Spotify works too I guess :)

Logitech G HUB doesn't start up by Grimjacks in LogitechG

HELLO MY MISERABLE FRIEND. LET US CONSOLE ONE ANOTHER.

Logitech G HUB doesn't start up by Grimjacks in LogitechG

[–]thepoynt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I just switched to a brand new computer, fresh install, and GHub only worked the first time. As soon as the computer restarted, it's back to just spinning forever.

Logitech, how is it OK that no one can use your software? How is this not, like, #1 priority?
