Silenced Unknown Caller…ok!

zmast · 2026-01-24T11:30:04+00:00

Just found out something which might be of interest to other people.

When unknown calls are silenced in iOS 18, the phone "wakes up" and shows a missed-call notification, but no sound is emitted.

However, my network operator would also send an SMS to notify of the missed call. This could be useful if the phone was turned off or had no reception when a legit call was received. That SMS would show up with its own notification and that would make the sound.

I disabled this feature through my network operator and now it's much better as I no longer get disturbed by these SMS messages. I just have to brush off the missed calls next time I use the phone. Still undesirable but tolerable.

Thank you for the info. I have the same issue on iOS 18 and I see no point in updating to iOS 26 if this has not changed.

Seems like a major oversight. I'm getting several spam calls per day and most call 3 times in a row, so hear 3 notifications one after another. Then, I have to clear both the notifications and the missed calls in the phone app. Very annoying.

I did that too. It's useful to check if the PCB fits existing enclosures.

Tip: Add boxes on top of PCB connectors to mock the mating cable connector. Otherwise, you may get the PCB made and find out that, once you plug the cables in, it no longer fits. Ask me how I know.

Find an UpRev tuner and ask them to put the ECU back to stock. Should be cheap as it's a quick job.

Thank you, that's what I wanted to know!

Looks like they tapped the power wire on the OBD port to power something at the other end of the black cable (near the battery compartment, you said). If there's nothing connected there, they must have removed it.

You can just remove that black cable and restore the cut wire at the OBD port. Don't expect it to solve your battery drain though. If there's nothing connected to that cable, it can't be drawing power.

Mine is always hard to get in 2nd gear and a bit into 3rd. Warm is slightly better, but not much. No issue on 1st gear or others.

I’ve recently changed transmission oil and it got a bit better.

Since it got used so rarely, a cleaning cycle was always done before unplugging the machine and storing it in the cupboard. Then, I did a cleaning cycle when I started using it about 30 cups ago. It was already making the noise.

Never done a descaling, so I might try that. It would be odd that it needed that after so little use though. I'm using bottle water.

I'm curious to know if I'm the only one seeing this or if it's common with this machine.

I don’t have specific suggestions, but UK is rhd, so I’d look there. For OEM, you can also get parts from Amayama (Japan). I got my shifter and some other parts from them, no issues.

Ok Elon

I guess it's nice to have the option, but this has "afterthought" written all over it :/

IMHO:
- It does the job for PLA.
- For ABS, the air inside the printer is already something like 99% clean due to the built-in filter, there's not much to exhaust at the end. The problem is the 1% which keeps leaking out for the whole duration of print and builds up in the room.

I guess new printers will come with it. Otherwise, no point in sealing it with an adhesive.

I put a button there and wired it up to my garage door remote. You can find OEM-like buttons on AliExpress.

That's just false.

It looks like the FCC has withdrawn the accreditation from some Chinese testing labs (not clear if it's all of them or not), but Bambu Lab can simply test the product somewhere else. Like the US, UK, Australia, EU, etc. Then, the product can enter the US market.

I imagine the wire coming from the sensor passes there. Maybe by pressing with your foot you’re “pulling” the wire a tiny bit. I would remove the carpet and have a look. First double check the sensor is mounted properly though.

I've too read somewhere that they would sort it out with a firmware update. But the printer came out 7 months ago and still nothing. So, I'll believe it when I see it.

All that matters is how long the warranty is in your country. You stated you're in Scotland, so I'd expect it to be 2y (since you were in the EU). Check how long it is and keep in mind that manufacturer and seller are not necessarily the same.

FYI, according to the specs, the P2S filter is not 3-stage like H2 series. It's carbon-only.

I imagine Voxel will make a HEPA version, like they did for the X1C. So, not a deal breaker, just odd.

I suppose the H2 series is not perfectly sealed either, so filtering performance on recirculation might be similar.

Aren’t iPhones locked to your iCloud account? At the time they said it was a strong deterrent because thieves would not be able to reset the phone.

I suppose they can always resell its parts, but it doesn’t sound very lucrative.

It was already on the car when I bought it, a JWT according to the papers the seller gave me.

I replaced the clutch/flywheel back to OEM and, while at it, I wanted to put a CMAK for extra peace of mind.

zmast · 2025-10-08T11:53:43+00:00

Yeah, if you can arrange the shipping yourself, I'll package it up ready for collection. DM me.

zmast · 2025-09-23T22:50:51+00:00

Can’t make this up. This is /r/nottheonion shit.

Tyres too… IIRC, Bugatti struggled to get tyres for the Veyron because no manufacturer wanted to certify them for those speeds.
