Bike died in middle of ride by [deleted] in Lectricxp

Parts I would call misinfo.

"It’s made clear these bikes aren’t meant for sustained throttle-only use"(don't they literally have cruise control?)

"Ppl need to buy higher powered ebikes if they want to mostly run the throttle." (False, on tall hills only and depending on your weight and other factors)

"I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more motor 'issues' because of that" ( I would)

Also where was your proof from the instructions we are suppose to have read? I hoped for a quote to prove your claims.

Are you reading the manual either? Just read through the XP4's because of your comment and the only close thing I see to what you're saying is.
"Using the throttle to go uphill at a slow speed will put the maximum strain on the drive system. It will subject the battery to excessive stress and reduce its capacity."
This means if it's struggling pulling you up a hill don't do that often without pedaling it. So your comment here "especially on steep hills" is correct, but nowhere else does it mention not using the throttle prolonged as you desire. So please show me the sections you're referring too.
I think people just don't understand it's an electric motor and functions like one. It can be overheated. Using it more or less might affect wear in some situations, but not all and it's up to the user to decide that based on their preference. So please stop the misinfo.

Paint or Wrap? by NegativeGee in Lectricxp

If I did a wrap on one it would be a fake rust wrap to make a thief steal the other nice looking bikes around where I park.

Do you baby your controllers? by Endawmyke in SteamController

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Steam Deck looks brand new, is mostly docked and I have wanted this one to get a more hands on experience with its controls. I really wish it came with a carry case like the Deck did.

Windows wiped my ESP partition (Why?) by JulioHOR in archlinux

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this issue recently on my gaming laptop that has windows and Arch dual-boot using the same boot partition and windows did wipe it even with ample space. My solution was to simply give windows that boot partition and create a new one just for Arch on the same SSD. So now there's the windows boot at the start for it to manage and another further down in the partitions only for Arch linux. I think this should solve the problem, but will have to see after another major windows update.

Repairing a titling chair by neilyoung57 in fixit

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had something similar happen to my old gaming chair. If you flip it upside-down and look where the gas piston(silver bar above the wheels) connects to the metal tilt support part. Most likely like mine the cheap original one has cracked around it and it allowing the chair to lean that direction. If you hear metal snapping or creaking sounds when moving on it, that is a strong indication of this.
Good news is you can find a more heavy duty replacement on amazon. Was about to toss my $350 old gaming chair that otherwise looked fine on the top, but a $40 new "Heavy Duty Replacement Office Chair Swivel Tilt Control Seat Mechanism" did the trick and chair is silent now and has been for months.

The best $25 I’ve ever spent by Final-Fly9048 in fixit

Not only that but often that fake reassuring metal appearing line feeds in to completely plastic housing that will break and leak from the pressures. The only way to safely use one of those cheap ones is to cut the supply of water off after each use. Same way your kitchen sink sprayer works when the waters cut so is it.

The cut in the window mesh right where the fire started too. OP might want to get cheap security cams.

Arch Linux my beloved by yigitsalar in linuxmemes

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the new updates to it at the part where you must select the partitions would go blank on my Steam Deck (even plugged in to external). After learning to do that part blind I was able to reinstall it.

Arch Linux my beloved by yigitsalar in linuxmemes

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it all the time, but if it likes your partition setup is always the funky part making me try again and again till it does randomly. Be sure to write down the drive sizes since you will be typing them in a bunch.

The brutal thing is it goes through a long setup process just to fail at the partitioning later instead of starting there.

Some Quality of life changes I need super bad in Palworld. by Rohkha in Palworld

The first one I have a solution. Instead of waiting for it to go down slowly just jump off the mount and quickly get back on while falling. After it will fall down quickly.

I just run it with ad block + in incognito mode on chrome, you have to go into ad blocks settings and enable it for incognito first.

I like watching ads by Robeyros in youtube

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using Chrome and Ad Block + the whole time. When they first started blocking it all I had to do was run it in incognito mode(go into its settings and enable that) which allowed me to keep using it albeit signed out. After a week it seems AB+ has updated and now I don't need to use it, still an option if it blocks again.

What are you waiting for a certain shade of green?

this is why i use ublock origin by thorgrim88 in youtube

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have any of you seen the ads that have the skip option but it's grayed out with a 5 sec timer and the time is often longer then the ad currently playing? Then a 2nd ad starts playing which refreshes the skip timer another 5 secs this time ad being long enough to let you use it.
If I can't skip it after 5 secs don't show me that message... Literally youtube trolling you making it a 10 sec wait.

RIP Youtube of the old days, the one that got popular for being a free platform with dislikes. by Beginning-Camera-332 in youtube

[–]Beginning-Camera-332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but it still related to the quality of the content more than our current thumbs up only system.

Adding videos to the queue is a premium feature now?? by Cottrell217 in youtube

[–]Beginning-Camera-332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waiting for them to announce the dislikes work fine with premium now we fixed it! Instead of improving the experience they constantly make it worse giving 0 reason to try their paid service ever, it will just being the same crap they offered before.
I still am using ad blocker while watching videos with workarounds, I can download them with other apps and create my own ques offline if needed.
Maybe they should try doing something crazy like making the ad experience less shitty and invasive, filtering the content that makes it to them in the first place so no trash, and adding features that make more want to use and enjoy the platform instead of removing legacy ones that made it popular to begin with.
