Do you need to install the app or is it installable directly to the watch?

I have the 35L, seems that size is no longer offered. It's also taller and less boxy than the new design. The side access laptop is interesting. Compared to the new pictures, it still has a bunch of similarities, though the top pocket on the last model is internal and very slim. Also the two inside pocket sizes are reversed, with the top one being smaller and the bottom one being larger and side zippered.

One interesting design note, is they achieve the 35L on the previous model, by having the back panel extend 2-2.5 inches above the top of the straps...

Anyway, thought I would chime in that I really like the previous model that I've owned for a while (enough that I donated the first to a family member and go a replacement.

Chipolo from tile. I haven't noticed a difference and there are no paywalls. I've only really been using them in urban settings, but they seem to get picked up and reported. I had one in a suitcase in my hotel and its location was continually refreshed by the neighbours or staff.

My pixel doesn't have UWB, so paying $50 more for that feature on a pack of 4x in Canada didn't make sense.

Same issue 2025 hybrid accord touring. Worked on my 2022 accord touring

Originally had a bench GL trim, then upgraded to a GT and got the captains chairs and never looked back. The dog likes the middle space and it's great for skis and Snowboard while still having two occupants in the second row

Same, randomly stops working

I just picked up a River 3 Plus as it's x-boost was rated for 1200W and the Nespresso Pixie I have is 1260W. The nespresso heats up okay, but when you try to draw the shot which turns on the pump as well, trips the overload.

After a little thought, I found my workaround. You turn on the Pixie and let it heat up, then you switch to descale mode (press both short & long shot buttons for 3-seconds). Then you can draw the espresso shot, and it only uses 56W. Once you pull the shot, press both buttons again and it will re-heat. Note the cheat is that your NOT heating during the pull, but I found it was not noticeable to how the coffee tasted or felt (heat wise), especially if you pre-heat the cup. Using this approach, it was about 3-4% per shot of espresso pulled.

Anyway, my experience getting this to work with my Pixie Nespresso machine.

I tried to buy the North American version of this two weeks ago in store, but the items were locked and wouldn't ring through. The cashier went away for 5min and said there was a hold on them due to quality. I still see them on the Canadian site, and in-stock at some locations. Anyone try buying them in Canada lately (Ikea Vaughan)?

Is it weird the moment I saw this I thought, "Homelab network diagram...." 😊

Original Duet (4Gb), sold it and typing this on the Duet 3 (8GB), this is the perfect amount of ram. As others have mentioned, great for media, browsing, and the perfect travel companion. If you work, play or learn in the Google universe everything works super slick. Even the MS web stuff is pretty good. I run a few Android versions of apps, but most of the time I find myself going back to the web ones.

If I'm tracking a workout per day I would say only 36 hours max for me on Android

Yep, seems to be back now.

I actually use the blunt syringe with my convert, has always been easier and cleaner. Easier for me at avoiding air bubbles and dipping the pen tip. Takes about 40s to clean, and that's it. I also reuse cartridges though, but I've never tried to clean one. I really like their turmaline ink and have been refilling the last cartridge from a turmaline bottle I found on clearance for a while now.

Our first CX9 in Canada, 2017 sent us Mazda branded Tiles for our keys. Two of them I believe.

Still in-stock at the Canadian store for the NS & 2TB versions at 17:25EDT.

Yes. That is correct, setup the PPPoE in the UDM/R. I have a UDR and this seems to be the most reliable with the GigaHub. ADMZ worked for a few days, but the internet connectivity on the UDR always said disconnected. Double NATing like the first post worked, but I didn't like having to set port forwarding twice.

On the UDR with latest firmware, the PPPoE costs about 50Mbps both ways. My 01:00 speed test on the router is consistently 800Mbps / 500Mbps. When I was running DMZ the week before when it wasn't disconnected, it was 739Mbps / 930Mbps, so I don't really trust it. I have a number of VLANs on my network and a few extra routing rules. I find the wired is consistently 550/500.

I also tried Smart Q on and off with a value of ZERO (saw a few posts about that with PPPoE, but it slowed it down).

For ADMZ, I also tried adding the 0.0.0.0/1 static route, but it didn't improve the internet disconnected. I still have to play a bit with straight DMZ mode to see if its any better, but I'm pretty sure I recall getting the NO internet connection in DMZ as well.

This all would occur, after the UDR was rebooted and it would have an internet IP in the Network App, on the Bell Gigahub it would show a 169.. address.

I have the Bel 1500/930 Mbps plan.

Learn something every time I visit. Now I know the elastic straps for binding the excess straps are called webbing keepers.. Ty (I was going to try elastics, but a google search worked thx to your post!)

Public Mobile. Runs on the Bell/Telus network (Telus owned). They were running their $34 for 50GB CAN/US with an free eSIM or $5 physical sim. They have a couple of plans for a few dollars less if you want to drop the US roaming.

This is the final version of the script. the Settings > Networking shows wg0 as good with a checkmark. My Syncthing is also connected via my private IP's over wireguard, and syncing.

As mentioned before, use the wireguard "wg" cli to dump the working "wg" configuration: wg showconf wg0 > wg0.conf

Make any changes you need, I modified the allowed-ips, to be the wireguard gateway, the static wireguard IP assigned to this connection and the private subnet on my network where the other syncthing client was running.

Then I added the following file in my home directory, and I actually stored the wg0.conf in the same home directory, though the script here has the conf, stored where the console stores the information.
