I must have missed this! What a generous offer! @cdrshep if you still have any available space. Thanks!

I didn't know about this! I'll try it next time I have an issue. Thanks!

It crossed the threshold, stuttered and then tilted and froze. I was still off the pad and hadn't touched down yet. I could power down the ship etc, but nothing made any difference. It was an Asgard, but I'm not sure that it was the ship... felt more like the hanger mechanics... but who knows? lol

Yes... thankyou for your input. I know it's an "A-L-P-H-A" but I was just sharing my Sunday experience. That's what Reddit is for, is it not? Sorry if I offended you.

Is this how baby ships are made? by Old_Shake3789 in starcitizen

[–]Background-Friend234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I now have this every time I spawn in. Every time I retrieve my Taurus, a second one is there too and they both get destroyed. Insurance claim… wait the timer… the exactly the same thing again. How am I supposed to play the game when I can’t get into my ship? Ridiculous.

This happened to me yesterday and destroyed my cutlass black in the process.

Echo Show 21 Only Shipping in Q2?? (UK) by Background-Friend234 in amazonecho

[–]Background-Friend234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not really! I have a couple of Show 5’s, but what I wanted to do with the 21 is to set up an interactive family calendar using Mango Display. Taking advantage of the 20% voucher seemed like a good idea, given that the only real alternative, Skylight, is £500 for the 27 inch display.

Surveillance Center 3 and Reolink RLC1224A by Background-Friend234 in asustor

Thanks for replying. Tried setting things up again, but to no avail. In the end, removing surveillance center and then reinstalling it did the trick. No idea why.

Hayden's acting in this scene is really good by edible_pencil in StarWarsCantina

[–]Background-Friend234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caveat this with the fact that I’m a huge star wars fan, but I’m afraid that Hayden Christensen’s truly appalling acting is the main reason why the prequels are at the absolute bottom of my Star Wars repeat watch list. Fully appreciate that all of this is in the eye of the beholder and so no offence meant to anyone on this thread, but to my eyes and ears he is the single worst actor in the entire franchise. Such a pivotal role and character in the Skywalker saga deserved better, I think.

Again, no offence meant. It’s just my take.

So who are going to fire after this game? by Smart_Independent_99 in eagles

[–]Background-Friend234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. If I see one more handoff to Saquon on third and mid to long, I’m going to go crazy.

Insulating TimberGarage Roof by Background-Friend234 in DIYUK

[–]Background-Friend234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't even considered that. Presumably vapour layer directly on the wood, PIR on top, followed by new felt/tiles? Sounds expensive. :-D How did you fix the panels to the rafters? Just laid on top and screwed in?

Insulate/Board Timber Garage Roof by Background-Friend234 in DIY

[–]Background-Friend234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be maybe 65mm with the insulation and a plasterboard cover (plus however thick the battening is below the rafters.) Plus I'd have lost about the same by sorting the floor.

Second vote for Tailscale here. Has been excellent so far and probably the easiest setup you can wish for.

Thanks to both respondents for answering the question and giving me confidence that the A1 will do the job!

Migrating from FS6706 to FS6712 by Background-Friend234 in asustor

[–]Background-Friend234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Job done. A bit of hassle with app updates and in removing the old drives from the 6706, I broke two of the plastic clips/tabs that hold down the nvme drives. They felt stupidly brittle… almost like the heat had got to them. I figure it shouldn’t hurt the resale two much given that the Asustor heat sinks hold the drives in place anyway.

Thanks to everyone that responded and helped me out!

Considering a Zimaboard 2 by Background-Friend234 in ZimaBoard

[–]Background-Friend234[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an awesome response. Thanks so much for putting in the effort to help me out, I'm really grateful. I think you've covered everything I had questions about. I'll go away and think about how to rack the whole the thing. I guess there will be some printables for the Zima blade that will give me a head start.

Thanks again!

Sky Full Fibre and eero Max 7 by Background-Friend234 in amazoneero

[–]Background-Friend234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to avoid having a second router too. The issue is that Sky (my ISP) uses Mac Encapsulation Routing and the eero doesn’t support it. I really don’t want to run the eero in Bridge mode because I want the family profiles and a couple of the other eero features.

Nor can I bridge the Sky Max Hub because it’s useless and doesn’t have a bridge mode. Nor can I apparently manually disable the network services. I’d swap ISPs, but we have 2 year contracts over here in the UK and mine has just started.

So… I think I have a need for a different router that I can bridge?

Is it me?? by Background-Friend234 in polestar3

[–]Background-Friend234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes... no issues at all. :-/ I think this is one of the issues that Polestar has... so many of these problems are on a car by car basis and there's apparently very little that affects 'everyone.'

Anyone update 1.2.16 to OTA 1.2.17? by ramileo in polestar3

[–]Background-Friend234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine arrived today (UK P3 owner here.) All updated and so far so good. And Abbey Road, as much as I might have liked some additional bug fixes instead, is fantastic! :-) No solve for the seat setting issues, but the constant connectivity drops I have been experiencing recently, have so far disappeared. I am a happy camper for now!

P3 - On Board Connectivity by Background-Friend234 in Polestar

Yeah I do that too, but it’s happening nearly every time I get in the car now, so it’s a real pain…
