eARC HDMI extractor that supports 5.1.2?

I have an Apple TV, a projector and a Devialet Dione that supports 5.1.2.

Since optical audio only supports 5.1, I was looking into eARC HDMI extractors, but it looks like at least the majority only supports 5.1, am I missing something? Any recommendations for an eARC extractor that will output 5.1.2 over eARC?

Update - 1800w Delta 3 unable to sustain microwave at 1685w - new video

I posted earlier about my Delta 3 unable to maintain my 1800w microwave - I just discovered that it actually overloads at just 1685w! The D3 is rated at 1800w, and 2600w X-boost.

So I did an experiment (see video): I was able to run the microwave at full power (~1850w) on the Delta 2, and the Delta 3 overloads and shuts down AC at just 1685w.

Is this unit defective, or is this typical Delta 3 behavior?

Note: My microwave usually draws ~1850w. Usually when you lower your microwave’s output/power, it just runs at max power but turns it off occasionally, but mine actually lowers the wattage consumption.

When I set it to “9” out of 10 power levels and it runs at ~1700w.

Opening a new credit card for a big upcoming international trip - is it a good idea? Which card?

I don't travel much, but I have a 2-month trip in Asia soon, and currently I have $8000 (not including the flights) that I will have to pay anyways.

I was thinking, since I need to fly Business and maybe use lounges once or twice (for being tall and having medical needs 🥲), maybe I can get a card and keep it for a year or two, so I can use it's sign up bonus and points from my $8000 expense to pay for part of the flight cost, which is about $3000-$4000 from Canada to Asia for one way business class.

I looked at the RBC Avion Infinite, it currently offers:

  1. 70k Avion points - 35k on approval + 20k on $5k spent + 15k one-time anniversary
  2. Roughly 100 point = $1
  3. Annual Fee $120

Let's say my $8000 is 8k points, so for this trip I will get 8k+85k+20k=113k, which is worth $1130. Minus 2*$120 annual fee I am getting about $900 for free.

Am I doing my math right? Is there a better card option? Usually I stick to cash back cards, so I am a newbie in points. Thank you!

I understand that the full charge the battery can hold will drop, but what happens at the end? As in like, does it just keeps dropping til like 50% of original capacity and stops charging forever? Will it puff up like in an old phone? Does the car tells you or refuses to drive?

Looking to get a used EV, preferably SUV. I was eyeing the Ioniq 5 and EV6, but i don’t like flush door handles.

What other choices would you recommend other than the Niro EV? Thanks!

I have a RAV4 currently, I was looking into getting the plug in hybrid RAV4, but it seems like support for that is still a bit rocky. What are people’s experiences and opinions on EV and PHEV SUVs?
