Failing sensors

I picked up 3 g7 sensors from my pharmacy. The first one failed in 3 days. Dexcom sent a replacement.

Now the second one has failed in 5 days of using.

I haven't had many issues up until these last 3 and I don't have any complaints with dexcom customer service. I have to call them again today. I was under the impression that dexcom will replace only so many. I think sense I started using the G7 about 18 months ago I requested 5 replacements. 1 would not pair. The other 4 just quit.

I hate the fact that my app wont say what the serial number or any information about the sensor that is still attached to my arm. Everything about it is just blank.

The data was there when it was working.

It matters because dexcom asks what the serial number is and its just not there. You would think the app would save that data.

I get my G7 From Medicare and they are super strict about when I qualify for my next subscription. 30 days not 29. So when these fail especially if its the last of the three 3 days before I qualify for my next subscription I'm screwed.

This time im still waiting on the replacement of the last sensor and have only 1 left . Now I have to call in for another replacement before I receive the last replacement and it takes 10 days to get.

I have two questions. Has anybody experienced back to back failures?

Has dexcom ever denied replacement?

The questions they ask me make me feel guilty of doing something wrong.

They ask for the serial number that I don't have but should have been stored on their very own app. Stupid!!!

I'm on a weekend trip and lucky have my next and last G7. The box is at home.

I used to throw away the box right after activating because I though the app would have the serial and manufacture info. When these fail the app removes any information.

Dexcom... update your app to record and maintain the data of current sensors so I dont have to feel like it's my fault.

Im a bit nervous now as my endo has dramatically changed my insulin routine and they are watching my reports. I have been falling into the upper thirtys at night. The g7 has been saving my life. If this third and last one fails there will be several days with no data.

Rant over spot light pro...

​

I replaced my garage spotlights with ring spotlight pro. It does the normal ring stuff. Turns on light with motion, records camera. I can turn on lights with the app.

The last one is where I got ticked off.

Turning on the lights with the app only keeps them on for a limited time. Automatically turns off.

Sometimes I'm in my driveway or deck and I need light. My last spotlight stayed on until I turned it off.

Rings solution is to buy a ring switch. Swap the ring switch with the old physical switch.

The ring switch talks to the spotlight pro. I send a command from my ring app to the spotlight that sends a command to the switch that then sends a command back to the camera spotlight to turn on the spotlight indefinitely.

Ring could have just added a button in the app to do the same thing without forcing me to buy the switch. Or ring could have added a command to keep the light on from my phone without using a timer.

Right now when I turn on my spotlights with the ring app they turn off after a short time. The app could have had a command to turn on lights for a period of time AND to turn on lights until I say so.

Ring is forcing me to spend more money purchasing a switch and hiring a electrician to pull an additional wire from the light to the unneeded switch.

If I have to hire an electrician I might as well mount the old spotlights next to the ring spotlight pro and control that light with a separate remote controlled switch or just a normal switch.

The new updated ring app has no easy way to gain control of lighting. Its buried in the app where before lights button was right at the top when I opened the app.

Good going ring for over complicating the most basic electrical need.

Pulling my hair out. Spam calls

For weeks I have been hounded by the same spamming. 15 to 20 calls a day up to 10pm.

1 The caller ID is always "toll free number"

2 the area code is always 844, 855, 866, 877.

When I reject the call it goes to voice mail and visual voice mail.

That's a major problem and waist of time.

T-mobile rep suggested I turn off my voice mail. really?

Im asking here if there a way to block a call caller id of "toll free number"

Keep in mind the scam caller uses different numbers each time I receive the call.

Locked out trying to set up tapcut

First time setting up tapcut for iPad.

I tried logging in using my Google account. Got to my birthday input but I guess I didn't set the year right. I got a message that tapcut is for people over 13 years old. Now I got locked out for 24 hours. This really pisses me off!!!!!

Why 24 hours? That's a long time when I needed to get it installed on my iPad before my trip tomorrow morning.

All they had to do was say noone under 13. I would have realized that I messed up my age. Becides what the hell does age do with it. I was building computers at 11 years ago.

Has anyone gotten the xreal one pro glasses to work with the dji rc2 and mini5pro?

I watched YouTube videos that show they work with rc2 and 3s.

Three of my AI say it works but I dont trust AI

I have the jdi mini 5 pro. I bought the xreal one pro glasses. I had researched that I could get video of the rc2 controller on the glasses. When I connect they glasses I get notification that video not supported.

Should these work together?

Does anyone know why I get video unsupported when I connect my xreal to my dji rc2 controller?

Im using the factory cables from xreal. Im connecting to the usb c on the controller.

I did a lot of research. Two different AI say it should work. I read from reddit it should work. The ray neo is also reported to work.

I dont know what happened. My xreal pro connected to my galaxy s22 used to play sound on the glasses. Now the sound comes out my phone.

Can it be a setting in the phone or the glasses?

Have you ever felt the need to find a link back when your in a particularly strong session? Like trying to force your way back because your overwhelmed. Just a peek to break the panic loop.

Well I accidentally found a way back fast. I tried Spotify once. Its algorithm sucks for keeping the style of my ketamine music consistent.

Last session I was particularly in a altered universe. Enjoyable. Then Spotify shoved in a knee slapping hillbilly track.

I was pulled home so fast. I was also pretty pissed.

I pretty much use Tidal music. Its algorithm for selecting the same genres is remarkable. I made a screen app that moves on to the next selection by just touching my phone screen. It dang near impossible to get my shit together enough to make my fingers work. Every now and again there is a track thats going to pull me home when im not ready. Vocals and fast beats stress me out of the zone.

Often I read that some complain about inconsistent doses in troches.

After talking to the pharmacy that compounds my ketamine I asked how it could be possible to make a troche tray where the quantity of ketamine is different between each individual troche. They said its impossible to have different strengths in the 30 count tray.

I think some people think each individual troche is hand made and individually placed in the tray.

That would make no sense. Think of the time it would take.

That would be like making cupcakes where you make 8 individual batches to fill a tray.

It was explained to me that the mix is made in a single batch. Like enough to make 300mg troches for 6 trays at once and poured into the tray like using ice cube trays. The dosage of ketamine is the same for each troche.

I think some people dont understand that the effects of ketamine one each one of use can be metabolized different from each session.

I have had sessions that are a complete dud on 400mg where nothing happened then a couple days later I get the full monty from troches fron the same tray.

Why i believe that is because in order to get 400mg I have to use 4 troches at once. It would be impossible to have a dud session because I thought some of the troches were weak. How would it be possible to pick 4 of the thirty that were lacking ketamine?

Then I moved to compounded spray.

Its a bottle with liquid ketamine.

One session I feel nothing then another session out of the same spray bottle will have a stronger effect.

I know for sure that our bodies process ketamine differently based on many factors. Foods we eat, medicines we may have taken, sleep, how hydrated we are.

It bothers me that some bad mouth compounding pharmacy saying they dont make their troches consistent.

Now I can understand that each tray could be different but not each individual troche.

Anymore I dont go into a session expecting the same wildfire effect.

I have learned that I cant get the same from each session. I cant blame the pharmacy when I am using the same bottle each time.

Then there differences on how you disolve the troches. If you spit you dont know how much may have been swallowed accidentally. Any swallowed ketamine will be processed into norketamine. I used to swallow. I would get to a certain level during the desolve stage then swallow. Ten min after I swallow I enter a different stronger effects.

If anyone can explain how troches could be different from each other in the same tray I would be interested to know how that would happen.
