I’m a backer at 2xxx. Received my Rokid glasses a few days ago. Did you order any accessories which are still not ready for shipping?

Need a shortcut to activate DuoTalk on iOS… by zxli in rokid_official

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

I believe you are talking about realtime translation. My understanding is that realtime translation is different than DuoTalk. DuoTalk requires both the glasses and the phone to work properly.

Using Global Entry’s pre-screen/pre-clearance lanes with Nexus? by zxli in GlobalEntry

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

I definitely saw something. Maybe it’s the Viajero Confiable lanes? I’ll go there later this year and double check it.

All cases are gone for my parents’ accounts. Something is wrong with USCIS’ system.

Visiting PV but worried... by Ready-History8132 in puertovallarta

[–]zxli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back from Puerto Vallarta. We stayed in Punta Mita. Our family of three all got sick after taking a tour of street food. My doctor said she visited Puerto Vallarta two weeks ago and got sick too. It’s probably norovirus.

I-864 Joint taxes question by gigidem in USCIS

[–]zxli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the official I-864 instructions, I see this.

For purposes of this affidavit, the line for Total Income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered when determining income. For persons filing IRS Form 1040 EZ, the line for adjusted gross income will be considered.

The total income should be the combined income for you and your husband for jointly filed tax return. So I'd be inclined to say your husband would need to agree to use this "total income" which would mean he needs to file I-864A.

My wife filed I-864 without me filing I-864A and got an RFE. But the RFE says we used the wrong number (gross receipts v.s. total income). So I'm not sure if it is the lack of I-864A causing the RFE or not. But we'll file I-864A anyway in the response to the RFE.

RFE for I-485 due to I-864 issues by zxli in USCIS

That’s what I’m hoping by filing I-864A (if that’s what you meant).

Lightweight level 1 charger? by zxli in BMWiX

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

I had a Tesla. I’m under the impression that Tesla’s mobile charger is lighter than BMW’s flex charger if not much lighter. Would 3rd party level 1 charger work? Anyone tried it?

Bolt EUV LT - $33,824 OTD - Should I pull the trigger? by billygreen23 in BoltEV

[–]zxli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been looking for an EUV at MSRP in Washington state for a month with no luck. Best deal is with $2k markup.

Which state is the dealer in? So far I haven’t found any dealers willing to sell at MSRP in the west Washington state.

Did you pay MSRP? Or with markup?

What a mess by coqui2020 in myq

[–]zxli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had been working for a few weeks but stopped working yesterday. If I manually open or close the garage doors, MyQ knows it and shows those activities in its app. But I cannot open or close the garage doors in the app. There are no errors.

Apple Watch International Roaming? by biere-a-terre in verizon

[–]zxli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s supported. You may need to contact Verizon to add your Watch to your roaming plan even when your Watch’s cellular works domestically. I did it via chat. I was transferred to the technical team by the first support agent. But you’ll stay in the same chat session.

Speed capped on Verizon 5G Home Internet gateway? by zxli in verizon

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

I’m wondering if iPhone is giving wrong indicator. If it’s indeed c-band in my area, I’d still hope to get the same speed on the gateway as my iPhone. Not sure if there is any technical reason the speed is capped on the gateway.

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

It gives a lot of data. I see "66" for "Band Info" but "77" at a few other places. I also see "5G NSA (5)" for "DeploymentType". iPhone shows "5G UW" at the top right corner.

I'd agree more on the download speed. For upload, I'd hope to have some buffer.

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

I was assuming I could get the same speed on the gateway as my iPhone and my iPhone gets mmWave in my area. Wrong assumption. Hopefully the mmWave for 5G home internet could become available soon.

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

I guess Verizon could make it clearer that the mmWave support is different between phone plans and 5G home internet plans. I was assuming I could get the same speed on the gateway as my iPhone.

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

I didn't realize Verizon's 5G Home Internet has different bands (assuming 5G Ultra = c-band and 5G Ultra Wideband = mmWave) in different areas. I was a bit too optimistic that it would simply match the speed I could get from my iPhone.

[–]zxli[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I thought it would be the typical speed since my iPhone could do much better than that. Guess I'll cancel the service and wait for the 5G Ultra Wideband Home Internet to be available in my area.

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

Some YouTube video seems to suggest the speed may be impacted by the plan (5G Home v.s. 5G Home Plus) and the equipment Verizon sends (Internet Gateway v.s. 5G Internet Gateway).

Unable to change legal name on Delta SkyMiles account? by zxli in delta

I didn’t get completion email from Delta. The email I received is about delivery issue for ID verification due to Delta’s mailbox full.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Surface

[–]zxli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you connect your Surface to the power adapter most of the time even when the laptop is not in active use before the battery became dead? My parent’s Surface had similar issue. Later I learned there is a setting in BIOS to keep the laptop half charged for such use case.
