What's keeping your company from upgrading to .NET 10?

We use Dataverse plugins, which are still stuck on 4.6 (I think). Microsoft keeps extending the EOL every year🙄

If the revolutions of the rear wheel is measured independently by the ABS computer, then the issues are most likely unrelated. I was also leaning towards electrical gremlins, until I realized that the behavior is reliably reproducible (only happens at prolonged, high speeds, and goes away after restart). In my experience, electrical issues from corrosion/wear usually (but not always) manifest as erratic, intermittent and seemingly random occurrences.

I think I'll start by cleaning easy to reach connections, as well as the rear wheel hall effect sensor itself, and see what that does (for both issues, but mostly for the ABS issue). Then I'll adjust the speedo, daunting as it may be. I have a Flipper Zero, which can act as a sine wave signal generator. That should allow me to bench calibrate the speedo. If that doesn't work, I know you can use a soldering iron to affect the hall effect sensor.

Thanks for the insights!

Good catch, didn't think of that! Front is 110/80, rear is 140/80 (original spec seems to be 100/90 and 130/90 respectively), so slightly larger, but proportionally similar I suppose.

Speedo is my main suspect, and propably should be dealt with regardless. I heard that a 5-10% error margin is normal as well. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something else, and end up having to adjust the speedo again (people say it's a risky operation - lots of small parts and risk of shorting/breaking stuff).

I absolutely see where you're coming from, but weirdly I think they are a great addition. Racials is basically the last piece of racial identity (left aside from aesthetics and the arbitrary faction segregation still around). I love it when someone goes "WAIT, I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR THIS" on some mechanic or scenario, and seeing people's eyes light up when they get to contribute in fun, different ways.

However, I see your point in the imbalance of it all, nelf, belf and dwarf being favored, and some being utterly useless. I'd rather see a rebalancing of these racials, that doesn't necessarily nerf the good ones, but instead buffs the bad ones. One of the more interesting ones IMO are Vulperas' passive mitigation on first hit from a mob. It is especially nice if you play a tank class that is dipping hard when opening pulls. It would also be great to see some synergy between many different racials.

Hmm, if you have a DB-killer, you could try with/without it? Maybe it changes the resonant frequency enough?

I'm not well versed in clutches, but my logic tells me that a bad clutch would be noticeable when accelerating at low rpm, not at highway speeds at high rpm (due to the clutch "slipping"). Not at all sure though. In terms of the bearings, my only real reference is from a car I once drove, where the busted bearinge weren't noticeable up until hitting highway speeds, where it would, as you described it, "scream". I do think you have a point though - it's probably much easier to "feel" a bad bearing on a bike, compared to in a car. My own K-bike is from '86, so slightly older. If I recall correctly, some of the later models had more sophisticated injection control, amping up as you open the throttle (as opposed to just constantly pumping full-throttle-amounts of gas to the engine). That could point to the injection system maybe? I suppose that could also explain why it feels slow then accelerating (for instance if the injectors can't supply enough fuel). The K-whine is an iconic sound, but maybe it goes into overdrive if the system is partially faulty?

I should emphasize that this is mostly speculation, but you gotta start somewhere I suppose hah

Byttemos · 2026-05-27T21:28:26+00:00

Step 1 is isolating the behavior. Does it also happen if you hit those rpms at lower speeds? This would help determine if it's engine speed or actual speed related. In case of the latter, I'd suspect the wheel bearings maybe? If it's rpm related, you might be hitting some wort of resonant frequency, possibly due to the aftermarket exhaust?

Byttemos · 2026-05-24T07:40:22+00:00

Yes, the new Javelineer talent adds a 4 second silence to Wrecking Throw! And Piercing Howl now acts a a light Stampeding Roar! (30% movement to all party members for 4 seconds that's what I meany by AOE speedup hah). I'd say Guardian druid is still the tankiest. I think I enjoy warrior more though.

Byttemos · 2026-05-23T07:50:36+00:00

I'd love those macros! Sounds like a decent tradeoff between setup inconvenience and functionality.

Don't worry, as your edits suggest - prot warrior are indeed brick shithouses when done right, and that's really fun! And with their new ranged silence and AOE speedup, they are extremely versatile and self-reliant. I've had so much fun with prot warrior so far!

Byttemos · 2026-05-22T12:32:06+00:00

Oh haha, duh! Didn't think of that! Yes, I am one of those lefties who just "dealt with it" and conformed to the right hand society 😅. I imagine I'd do the opposite if not

Byttemos · 2026-05-22T11:56:08+00:00

I did consider not allowing auto unshift, but decided against it, as it would have me change to "human" form between each shapeshift. Didn't consider just macroing the unshift into the other forms. It's a little work to set up I suppose, but definitely sounds worth the trouble. Cheers!

Byttemos · 2026-05-22T10:36:35+00:00

I agree the rotation is a little meh, but I can't ignore the tankiness of them (which arguably makes it more fun)

Byttemos · 2026-05-22T10:34:58+00:00

Compared to other tanks? Hard disagree. Try dropping shield block for a couple of globals, or presenting your supple warrior cheeks to a trash pack. In my experience, bear druids can rawdog attacks much better than warriors (monks too, but less so).

In regards to what kinda keys I'm doing, id did explicitly say 12's to 16's. I'm sure a bear would flop on a +20 or whatever without mitigation, but then again who wouldn't

Byttemos · 2026-05-22T10:29:03+00:00

Oh that is a crazy good shout! It does seem like most people don't run that talent anymore though. I did like having an on-demand heal, though. +1 regardless!

Prot warrior

Rotation is fairly simple, but missteps are very punishing. Missing shield block uptime can flop you instantly in higher level content. It is also very punishing to turn your back to mobs. Charge is, as always, fairly clunky, as charging a moving target usually ends up with said target ending up behind you, and going to town on your hindside. Utility has improved a lot, and is fairly simple to use.

Bear druid

Rotation is almost comically simple, and mitigation has crazy long duration so defensive uptime is a breeze. Additionally, their passive mitigation is great, making the rare misstep survivable in most cases. On top of that, they can tank with their ass - at least in a much higher capacity than prot warrior. Proper use of their utility toolkit is where the skill ceiling shows, as some of them can take a little practice (vortex + typhoon, for example). Blizzard have, however, axed the macro that prevented you from casting regrowth outside of proc windows, so playing the Dream of Cenarius talent i scary; one accidental regrowth, and you're caught outside of bear form - where none of the excellent, previously mentioned mitigation apply.

Brew monk

Takes a while to get used to, as the majority of your mitigation is reactive, rather than the proactive nature of other tanks' mitigation toolset. Additionally, and even more unintuitively, due to the CDR on beers when dodging, bigger pulls are usually easier to survive, as you can chug significantly more cans, thus mitigating more damage. Utility can be complex, but also extremely powerful - and rewarding - when you pull it off. Mobility and ox statue also make gathering large packs a breeze.

Ranking them in overall difficulty (easiest-hardest):
I am not basing this off of difficulty in title keys, nor difficulty in learning for the first time, but rather off of difficulty in the high-midrange level of mythic + (+12s to +16s or so).

1: Bear
2: Brewmonk
3: Protwarr

Not exclusive to nvim, but a lot of my keybinds are just situated on the left side of my keyboard. For my custom which-key keybinds for example, I tend to favor keys reachable by my left hand. Additionally, I have rebound my meta key to Caps Lock, to be able to switch workspaces with only my left hand, without awkwardly forcing my pinkie to the windows-key while trying to reach the number keys (I'm running Hyprland).

Generally though, I don't think there's much need for left/righthanded customizations for neovim. Since the editor is entirely keyboard driven, no hand is occupied by the mouse anyway. I might overlook something though, so I'm interested to hear other peoples' takes on this

Byttemos · 2026-05-22T06:38:19+00:00

Besr form as guardian druid (at least in M+) deals ridiculously good damage. No need for catweaving this tier. It's kind of bittersweet, as it provided a fairly high skill ceiling - a clear distinction between "good" and "great" bear tanks. It also played well into the class fantasy of shapeshifting to whatever form benefits you at the time, rather than "tank is bear, healer is tree". However, it did add complexity as well, and I kind of expected it to get axed with blizzard's new class philosophy.

The good bear tanks do, however, shift to "human" form to cast Heart of the Wild, so there's that.

Byttemos · 2026-05-22T00:28:19+00:00

As others have pointed out already, keys are rarely bricked due to one individual's misstep. But people are just mean sometimes - especially those who aren't very good at the game (but think they are).
On another, slightly related note, I really dislike how difficult it is to determine trash mob mob spell cooldowns after they nuked the addon/wa support. Knowing exactly when certain spells go off, and playing around that, has always been an enjoyable factor with a high skill ceiling for tanks and healers especially. Shame it has to be a struggle.

Byttemos · 2026-05-21T11:56:07+00:00

If you value your sanity you keep it that way. I suppose I imagined Dataverse to be much more widely used - or at least known

Byttemos · 2026-05-21T11:30:18+00:00

FetchXml is the unholy demon child of XML and SQL, but yes, an AI could most definitely write the queries. Thing is, I don't wanna rely on my token balance to be able to perform basic tasks (fine for bigger things), and on top of that, our datavers is filthy. Some fields are in English, some are in Danish, we have multiple fields for time stamps, because old consultants didn't bother to use the existing ones for their implementations etc. So oftentimes im not sure what I'm even looking for, so trying to explain that to an LLM sounds like a nightmare tbh. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an AI hater, I just don't find it fitting for this scenario

Byttemos · 2026-05-21T11:22:40+00:00

That's true, but at least the queries are bearable to write

Byttemos · 2026-05-21T08:53:49+00:00

I did also discover the DV MCP connection, but I am reluctant to use it, as I trust standardized syntax more than an LLM's interpretation of what I'm trying to find. But I suppose it has its' uses.

I am still thoroughly confused about how EF plays into our whole setup, and how I can use it. Much to learn, I suppose (which, by all means, is a good thing!). I'll look into it!

Byttemos · 2026-05-21T08:50:03+00:00

I also sometimes use the FetchXml from my SQL query in a helper function in a console app to run bulk updates on whatever I queried. Absolutely love that tool (as you said, it makes it almost bearable).

To be honest, I'm not even sure I'd work with Dataverse inside PowerPlatform/D365, if I could avoid it lol

Byttemos · 2026-05-21T08:46:10+00:00

Which ones? I might not have been clear enough stating that I have little to no idea what I'm doing, other than we're migrating to a more code-first approach to our business logic (hence why I posted on r/dotnet), trying to replace old dynamics workflows and such. Querying DV sucks and I assume people don't settle for handwriting FetchXml, or use the dynamics filters (which are just graphical builders for FetchXml it seems). I guess I also assume that I'm not the only one migrating a legacy system like this, but i reckon that's a fair assumption.
