WTH has happened to limits and basic usability?

I have been a pro member for about 7 months, and in the time, I have seen my limits go from "I can snap out some projects this week" to "WTF, I literally started 5 minutes ago".

I have been using sonnet 4.6 on medium for most of my tasks and it seems no matter what I do, my usage is gone instantly. All I mainly do it clean up my HA instance and write automations. I have had it do a couple of other things, but nothing crazy.

This week I switched to Sonnet 5 to see if it really made a difference. Token usage is much higher, but 4.6 was constantly wrong and getting stuck in loops. Although Sonnet 5 used 2 full sessions of usage getting stuck fixing my cameras on HA because it literally tried the same thing 6 times, even though its rules say try twice then stop. It has ignored guides I have given it and found ideas from 2017 and used those instead, ect.

First 4 months were great, but not.... its not very useful. Surprisingly, Gemini and ChatGPT free have done more correct work than my paid subscription which is making me reconsider paying for it.

Anyone else feeling this?

Looking for Bravo Shows

I am on usenets and torrent sites, can find them in 720 or 1080 sporadically, but would love to find a decent 1080p provider. Anybody have something?

I wish we had more medical options

KH buys up everything. Its extremely frustrating.

I havent had health insurance in a while as it was unattainable. Now I have it and I am trying to find a pcp.

My insurance app lists doctors, says they are accepting new patients.

I call KH (on my 6th day of calling) to see if Doctor is available.
"No they are not accepting new clients"

Tired of that run around, so I can and ask where I can find list of doctors who are accepting new patients. "Im sorry sir, that doesnt exist, you just need to call and verify. The internet doesnt update fast enough" I sat there for a minute in just utter shock at the idiocracy I just heard.

So I have to call within business hours playing a who's-who game with a receptionist to see if I can find a doctor instead of it being online where I can schedule.

On top of that, I cant see someone until NOVEMBER. Seriously, our health care system is useless.

Just to check, I called back and I can get in as a cash patient within 3 weeks.

FML. Sorry just had to rant.

How do I get my car to back into my driveway?

Hello. I have a 24y with hw4 in the US. Throughout my three Teslas I have reversed into my driveway every single time. I even have charger selected in parking solution at my house because I have a charger on the front of my house. It always tries to go in nose first. What solution am I missing? One out of every 10 times it does back in.

For my realtor friends

So I've been an agent 20 years and I'm used to spam calls. My call screener catches most of them but this person claimed they were looking for real Estate. So I answer it and it's a woman and within the first 4 seconds I know it's a sales call.

She babbles on for about 20 seconds about how she's a known partner of EXP realty and they have a new AI tool called allegiant and they want me to take part in their program.

I called her out and interrupted her and said " you lied when you said this was about real estate, it's about sales and I don't want your AI slop. Remove me from your list have a good day" then I hang up.

She then proceeds to text me LOL. Watch out for these scammers.

Fsd won't slow down

Tesla y in America, newest software update, although it doesn't matter the last three have been the same. Screen shows it knows the speed but it's doing 10 to 25 mph over. I used to be able to tap the speed limit sign indicator and it would bring my speed down but it no longer does that. Is doing 72 and a 55 through a construction zone today and it showed 55 on the screen but the only way I could adjust my speed is if I brought it from standard to chill. My offset is plus five.

Anybody else dealing with this?

Google store charged me and won't refund me

I've been a Google customer for years, had every pixel phone watch and the tablet. I have an entire ecosystem. With that said I'm moving away from their cameras and Gemini because well let's face it they're trash anymore.

Apparently my Google home premium subscription renewed on June 16th. I didn't know that until I saw charges on my bank account. Lo and behold their subscription renewal emails were going to my spam which is a Gmail account. Interesting how their own company's email goes to spam.

I reach out to try to get them to refund it as I didn't intend to renew and I don't even have the cameras anymore. They've just stoned me. 2 days after they've taking money from my account, they say no refunds enjoy your Google home premium services.

I don't know who else to escalate to, my next step is to charge back via the bank. Anybody have any thoughts or is Google support here and willing to take care of this?

Pulling my hair out with PAM8403 and Max1984

I am putting electronics in my helmet. I have this pam https://a.co/d/0f86FKje and this max - https://a.co/d/026A6bWw. I have 2 of these speakers - https://a.co/d/0bo6kGdI

Now I should be able to jump AR to VDD and the Gain to G to lower it down and kill the squeel. But I cant. I have tried a pam I have with a knob, no luck either. I have a shielded guiltar wire between max and pam. 10k resistors on the Max out (2 wires together) to the L and R of the Pam, no difference. I need to power it with 1 power bank.

What am I doing wrong?

AS5202T wont boot

Unplugged the device about a month ago as I upgraded. Turned it on today with no hard drives and I get a weird boot screen (Cinsyde logo) the it just sits at _. Some times it flashes, sometimes it is solid. It long beeps after a couple of minutes.

I have tried with drives and without, same result.

Looking for UI experience

I hope I'm describing this right. I've used Google home for years and I've finally got home assistant built up enough that I can replace it. I'm running a local Qwen3.5 model and my AI is pretty good at home. Interfaces with Spotify and my Google calendar and searches the web when I can't figure it out.

With that said I want more of a Google home experience (when it actually works) when I say add something to my calendar a card would pop up and confirm everything instead of just a voice response. Those type of UI bonuses.

Is there anything out there that I'm missing that would provide that?

I am trying to setup a newletter, and there is no info in the log why it is failing.

Unraid Docker - Gmail - port 587 - TLS - Created app password in my account since I have 2fa

I have tried AI and its the same steps over and over, I have set images to cloudinary, I cant find this "enable newsletters" option that AI keeps telling me to do so I edited config.ini to have enable_newsletters = 1 and still nothing. When I click on the newsletter preview in my logs, it is just a white screen.
