After Entering 99999, How long will the Driver's Camera stay Off? (SmartDrive)

SmartDrive systems (now part of Solera) are designed to monitor driving behavior, typically using both road-facing and driver-facing cameras. The functionality you're referring to—entering a code like 99999 to disable the driver-facing camera—is a feature controlled by your employer or fleet manager, and its behavior depends on how your company configured the system.

Here's what’s generally known:

  • Entering 99999 (or a similar code) may temporarily disable the driver-facing camera, such as when you're using the vehicle for personal time or off-duty use (e.g., during a break).

  • Duration: In most configurations, this camera shutoff is temporary—often for a set time like 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or until vehicle movement—but this can vary.

  • In some setups, the camera turns back on automatically after that time expires or when the vehicle moves again.

  • Reactivation: In some cases, you'll need to re-enter the code (like 99999) to turn the camera back on manually, but usually the system restores itself automatically after the timer runs out or the trip ends.


Important Notes:

  • Not all SmartDrive systems support driver-facing camera disablement, and using such a feature without proper authorization might violate company policy.

  • If the video you saw isn’t official or your fleet doesn't use that exact setup, the behavior could differ.

  • Always check with your fleet manager or your company's SmartDrive administrator to get the exact details on how it works in your vehicle. There may also be privacy protocols they follow that you're entitled to know.

 

I just bought a Food Dehydrator and the manual doesn't say anything about what temps to use

Ah—that's super common with lower-cost dehydrators. They often skip detailed instructions. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Here's a practical temperature + time guide you can follow for your Food Dehydrator (any model with a 95–176°F range).


🔥 Reliable Dehydrator Temperature Guide

Food Type Temp (°F) Time Range Notes
🍌 Fruits (e.g., bananas, apples, berries) 135°F 6–16 hrs Slice ¼" thick. Soak in lemon water if browning
🥕 Vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, broccoli) 125°F 6–12 hrs Blanch most veggies first for better results
🍖 Cooked Meats / Jerky 160°F 6–10 hrs Must be fully cooked & fat removed
🍚 Cooked Grains (rice, pasta) 135°F 5–7 hrs Spread in thin layers
🧅 Herbs & Greens 95°F 2–4 hrs Use lowest temp to preserve oils
🥔 Mashed Potatoes (flakes) 135°F 6–8 hrs Spread thinly on parchment
🥣 Soups & Stews (cooked) 135°F 8–12 hrs Dry in thin layers like fruit leather

⚠️ Important Tips

  • Always pre-cook meats or eggs—dehydrators don’t get hot enough to cook raw proteins safely.

  • Don’t overcrowd trays—allow airflow

  • Rotate trays halfway through for even drying (some models don’t auto-rotate)

  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats for liquids or soft foods

DIY Seed Starting Mix

Those ingredients are perfect for a DIY seed starting mix, and they serve as both a growing medium and a mild fertilizer. Here's a breakdown of what you're looking at:


🧪 Ingredients:

1. Coco Coir

  • What it does: Lightweight, holds water well, and provides good aeration.

  • Replaces: Peat moss (eco-friendlier).

  • Nutrients? Minimal — mostly structure and moisture retention.

2. Vermiculite

  • What it does: Improves moisture retention and aeration.

  • Nutrients? Contains trace minerals, but not a major nutrient source.

  • Common in: Most seed starting mixes — it helps seeds stay moist and oxygenated.

3. VermisTerra Worm Castings

  • What it does: Provides a mild, balanced organic fertilizer rich in microbes.

  • NPK (approx.): ~1-0-0 to 1-0-1, gentle enough for seedlings.

  • Bonus: Adds beneficial bacteria and fungi that promote strong roots.


🌱 DIY Seed Starting Mix

Mix Ratio Example:

  • 2 parts Coco Coir or Peat Moss

  • 1 part vermiculite

  • 1 part worm castings

You can adjust based on what you need:

  • More vermiculite if your area is hot and dry.

  • More coco coir if your mix seems too wet or heavy.


✅ Why This Works Well for Seedlings:

  • Light and fluffy — seeds sprout easily.

  • Moisture-retaining but not soggy.

  • Worm castings feed seedlings gently, so you don’t need extra fertilizer right away.


Optional Additions (If You Want to Boost It Later):

  • A dash of kelp meal (for micronutrients)

  • A sprinkle of mycorrhizal inoculant (for root health)

  • Compost tea or diluted fish emulsion after seedlings grow true leaves
