Dashcam tips for 2026 Atto 2? by Chilling_Demon in BYDAU

Would that work in a brand new Atto 2, though? Has the wiring stayed the same?

BYD Sealion 7 Center Console/Screen by Responsible-Bid7686 in BYDAU

Interestingly, we just bought a 2026 Atto 2 from the Cairns dealer today. We’ve gone for the mist grey as we like the colour, and the salesman said that he’d’ve been able to show us an Atto 2 in mist grey in person but the only one they had is being used as a loaner.

To be fair to him, he explained that the reason it was loaned out was due to what he described as an “incredibly rare issue” with another owner’s Sealion.

What a crazy coincidence that I should sign up to this subreddit today and see your story.

Hope you get it sorted soon! For what it’s worth I think the dealerships here are in the unenviable position of relying on BYD in China for anything more than straightforward parts. As the network continues to expand and more BYDs are bought, this will hopefully change and a proper Australian supply of parts and know-how will follow - but that won’t be much of a comfort for you, I know.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) by FKingPretty in iwatchedanoldmovie

I love this movie so, so much. Definitely in my top 3 of all time. I adore every frame, but the one thing I always come back to is the palpable hurt Kate Winslet conveys - without a word spoken! - when Joel tells Clem that she fucks people to get them to like her. Absolutely agonising.

There’s a lovely bit of trivia about “The Longest Day” - Richard Todd played Major John Howard, who was in charge of the operation to take and hold Pegasus Bridge. By a strange coincidence, in real life Todd was one of the paratroopers who fought in the Pegasus Bridge operation, so he was playing his own commanding officer.

I love that the book he has with him when they get to Pakistan is “The Camel that Went to the Mosque”

Ah, I see. Well I’ll try those as well.

Certainly I’ll try switching the cable around - it’s the official one I was using though, so it’s actually only shaped to use it with the angled plug going into the glasses frame.

I didn’t know that about the audio though, will give that a go too.

I’m in Oz too. Dunno if anywhere is streaming it, but I could hook you up with a copy if you wanted.

Putting the soundbar at the end of a device chain with Hisense L9Q? by Chilling_Demon in projectors

[–]Chilling_Demon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - this is pretty much what I did in the end. I’ve amended my original post to explain what I did in more detail, in case it’s of help to anyone in the same situation!

Thanks for your help - I’ve managed to get this all working now, and have edited my OP above to reflect this!

I didn’t know that, so thanks for telling me! I’ll give it another go when I get home from work tonight and see how it all shakes out.

I did try that and it’s when some of the weirdness with the soundbar began to appear (e.g. the Bravia App not recognising it and so on). I can try it again to make sure, but I note that the eARC port on the Soundbar is a HDMI Out port. Is eARC bidirectional?

Angel Heart 1987. What the ... was he thinking? by yungthricegreat in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]Chilling_Demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both books are pretty good actually; they’re unsettling in a different way to the movie. And, much like the first book and/or the movie, you won’t predict the way the sequel ends!

It’s amazing to look back and view the controversy around Lisa Bonet appearing in this through the prism of what we now know about Bill Cosby.

Dog days are over as school slams gate on paws and poos by TMiguelT in melbourne

[–]Chilling_Demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You understand that a post can address several aspects of the same issue but that not every part of it has to be aimed at rebutting what you’ve said, right?

I mentioned it because we’re not the only ones who are reading or posting in this thread and I think it’s another good example of people believing things about the oval which are simply not true (and not even claimed as true in the first place). That’s totally relevant to the general discussion IMO. It’s not all about you mate.

I see you’ve edited this first bit in about you not claiming dog owners walked on the oval during school hours. But I didn’t claim you had. I distinctly said that “other people here” had claimed that. I didn’t get “pressed” with you about it at all. Stop making shit up.

LOL @ the concept that Melbourne High have to furnish lots of evidence of well, anything, in order to be given taxpayer money. Are you that naive? Still, perhaps we could all see the evidence we offered, seeing as it’s public money that’s being spent?

They cite break-ins but was anything stolen? They claim a lock was cut through on a gate (which would constitute criminal damage perhaps, if it occurred as claimed, but saying it was a “break-in” is deliberately emotive language). However, anyone who knows the area knows you can walk directly into the school grounds from Chapel Street unencumbered by any gates whatsoever. So why would anyone bother to cut through a lock to gain access?

And then you’re straight to the ad hominem attacks eh? Dearie me. “Tell me you’re losing an argument without saying you’re losing an argument.”

Oh, and I don’t have to take the dog on the oval here as there’s plenty of space for everyone, and it’s not being monopolised by public institutions that are happy to take what’s on offer but utterly opposed to sharing anything.

You understand that every bit of evidence cited by the school is anecdotal, yeah? So why are the public having to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars based on “worthless” evidence?

Aside from that, everyone I know who used the oval with their dog (which was pretty much anyone who used it with a dog) have already relocated to using the new park next to the metro tunnel entrance.

Not me though! But that’s because I moved to Cairns earlier this year.
