First trip, think I’ll make it?
I am planning on making my first trip out of town with my new Mach-E GT. I am going to go on my old route I used to take when I had a motorcycle. Google Maps says it’s 161 miles and will use 50% battery. There is a charging station at the last stop before I finish the trip and head home. It will be hot so I know I’ll loose range due to AC. Also, I’ll probably be driving it pretty hard in the curvy sections. I’m not sure how much extra battery charge that will use up.
If I left with a full charge do you all think I can make it?
Please arrive 15 mins early for your appointment
No, how about you make my appointment time for when you want me to show up. My appointment is 6 months from now, I’ll never remember that you told me in person to be 15 mins early.
Scheduled client reconnect
I have my all my equipment on a weekly reboot schedule. My APs seem to take different amounts of time to reboot. Because of this all my devices seem to connect to the first AP to reboot and then hold that connection even though the signal is poor.
Is there a way to schedule all the APs to force reconnect all clients? I could schedule this for 30 mins after my reboot schedule and then everything would connect to the closest AP.
I can’t seem to find this as an option in the controller.
Samsung TV app slow
I am having very slow browsing on my Samsung TVs. The app takes about 5-10 seconds to load. Every title I choose takes another 5-10 seconds. Searching for something is a game of select a letter, wait 2 seconds, select another, eventually wait 5-10 sec for results to load. Once I am streaming everything is fine. I do not have these issues on iPad/iphone.
All my TVs are hard wireded and I have the server IP manually bound. My server is a GMKtec G3 N100.
I am guessing this is just the Samsung TV app being slow or the TVs not having enough processing power? Anyone else have these issues or fixes?
Bonds are terrible gifts
Yay, I received two, $50, 30 year bonds when I was 10. Something about learning the importance of saving. I just put them in a bond calculator and they spent $50 to give me $200 30 years later. That’s barely a full grocery basket or a meal out for the family.
$200 means so much less when I have a career, family, house payments, and other bills. 10 y/o me would have gotten much more enjoyment from $50 than 40 y/o me with $200.
Plus as a gift, a 10 y/o almost immediately forgets about it as it’s useless to them. I’m only cashing these now because I happened upon them while going through our important documents to make a copy of a birth certificate. They could have stayed there for another 10 years and I wouldn’t have noticed. I’m more mildly annoyed about the fact that I gotta make an extra trip to a bank to cash them…
Edit: My post comes across as ungrateful, and I can be reflective to myself about that. The point of my post is that Bonds as a medium for a gift aren’t great. I’m not talking large investment levels. My grandmother took me on my first bus, train, and plane rides as I was growing up. We did day trips. I remember those trips fondly to this day. Those kinds of gifts are much more meaningful to me now than getting $200 as an adult. With inflation and interest rates, small value bonds are not great gifts, separate from the intent behind the gift.
