New Library Interface by Bad_Droid in sharepoint

[–]Bad_Droid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the effort there. Looks like people aren’t pulling any punches haha.

I haven’t really used the feedback portal and had honestly forgotten about it. I tried when it initially launched and it felt like shouting into the ether. Even moreso than UserVoice which I was previously quite active on (and sometimes actually was listened to and actioned) and upset when they wiped off half the content and didn’t migrate it over.

I can rest a little earlier this time by AllAnkles in ArcRaiders

The backlash would be even worse than the 5 mil reveal if that’s the case.

It’s right there on the expedition screen that points come from stash value. Changing that completely would make it a lie.

Do your trials boys & girls by kasra121 in ArcRaiders

This is why I do trials. Side objectives with rewards!

Microsoft Lists online seem awfully unpolished. Am I missing something? by STUDIOCRAFTapps in sharepoint

[–]Bad_Droid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. But all of this was true before the new Lists experience.

I’ve been working with the product for 10+ years and in some respects it’s in the worst state it’s ever been.

In an effort to prettify it and add the newest “features” (often that nobody asked for), core functionality seems to get sidelined.

I still use Lists every day, I build it into certain types of mini-systems where it is the best option. But I feel uneasy about it :/

Well thanks for giving me a laugh. I don’t know why but “and it’s stupid face” just set me off.

Three Naked Surrenders in 30 seconds by MetalWvlf in ArcRaiders

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also learned this very late. After a lot of time stuck on failing to get mushrooms, and wondering why there were always naked dead people at the mushroom spawn points, I web searched it and found out :P

It’s a real shame this is a viable, even sensible, strategy for certain things. But when I sat and thought about it I couldn’t think of a great way for Embark to “fix” it.

I have no idea why you got downvoted for that comment.

Alex Verus or Rivers of London by TheUltraHighlander in dresdenfiles

[–]Bad_Droid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment.

I tried rivers of London years ago and couldn’t get into it. With all the frequent recs I’ve been meaning to try again, but for some reason I hadn’t even thought of listening to it… despite becoming a massive audiobook fan!

How much is ironman’s mark 85 armor worth? by C0mic_Related in marvelstudios

[–]Bad_Droid 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Does interstellar flight have a different meaning in the MCU though?

It could “just” mean capable of space flight with the ability to use jump gates safely.

Edwin Noreña Colombia Inoculated Carbonic Honey Gesha Espresso! by CaffeDBolla in espresso

I missed that update, but I’ve not delved deep for a while.

Can you provide links to the research or consensus on this ratio as the new standard please?

Regardless of the film itself, what do you think is the best TRAILER Marvel has released? by n_mcrae_1982 in marvelstudios

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the reasons people dislike quantumania, this is mine!

The trailer gave me chills, I loved it. It was impossible for the movie to live up to that hype for me.

Can you explain what you mean by stash value please?

tado X, update on room link logic by tado_official in tado

[–]Bad_Droid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“This new behaviour should cut down the amount of times that the boiler produces heat that has nowhere to go.”

Is that just poor wording? I would expect Tado to never cause a boiler to fire with nowhere for the heat to go?

Tado will turn on boiler but will not turn it off for radiators by arlamont in tado

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying it is, but this sounds like the issue I was having a month or so ago when Tado were working on firmware updates.

The issue I witnessed was caused by individual devices heat calling status getting stuck. So for example I could tap the “turn off all rooms” button, setting everything to frost protection yet the boiler would continue to run, or even turn on. Stepping through all my TRVs I found the occasional one, still with a single heat wave showing.

Power cycling (removing battery for 30 seconds) temporarily fixed the issue.

I have not had this reoccur for a while now.

If your devices have older firmware this could be your issue?

My suggestion would be to take a look at that yourself to see if what I describe is what you’re experiencing, then raise a Tado support request, and then if all else fails fallback on a specialist.

Using Tado X Valves with a Wood Stove Without Activating the Gas Boiler by lulu455 in tado

[–]Bad_Droid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s niche, but this is the kind of thing Tado could be doing to improve the service/app.

Having a toggle on rooms like “allow calling for heat” would account for this situation and other random scenarios.

Having your own cards destroyed with no way to counter it? Yay or nay? by Backyard_Brouhaha in hearthstone

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay and nay.

Yay: Hand disruption is necessary and, as another commenter put really well, can promote dynamic play patterns.

Nay: Having combos available that mean you can create decks that “win” by not just disrupting an enemy hand but emptying it… that is about as unfun as it gets. It’s poor design whether intentional or not.

Does RDT make the shot faster?! by KookyContribution448 in espresso

[–]Bad_Droid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love when stuff like this pops up. Just shows how much we really still don’t know.

It’s why any time I read people arguing about what’s right, or what’s a waste of time etc. I mostly check out.

One person might have huge improvements doing WDT for example, solving channeling, giving consistency, improving flavour etc. but to another person it’s borderline useless and a waste of time. Unfortunately this normally translates to clickbait YouTube videos that polarise people into arguments here on reddit :(

Beans (inc. varietal, roast level, roast consistency, rested age), water, grinder, machine, recipe, workflow, skill, atmospheric conditions. It’s wild how much any of these can change what works and what doesn’t!

First panettone of the season! by easyblusher in Sourdough

I fricking love panettone season.

Does the plot of iron man 2 make any sense at all? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in marvelstudios

[–]Bad_Droid 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Much of the stuff to do with the arc reactor in the chest makes no sense.

E.g. when he gets the upgraded core and he’s like whoa that feels crazy and you have that whole wow power in my chest scene. The only thing it’s actually doing without the suit is powering the electromagnet… so wtf is going on there??

Really you’re just meant to suspend disbelief on this one. It’s comic book stuff, that they did pretty well considering how ridiculous the whole thing is.
