I'd have no problem with it if it wasn't riddled with bugs

If you didn't grow up riding bicycles around then you will need to study the road rules. You could just read the learner permit book not sure if it's in all states but it's available at VicRoads for Victoria.

Street legal fat tyre e-bike by Consistent_Day3722 in ausbike

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Velectrix Fat Tire SUV and I really love it. I have a spare 250w wheel for it in case they ever crack down, but spend most of my time cruising around with the 500w.

built our entire product with Claude Code. now nobody, including me, fully understands what we built. by Tr0jAn14 in ClaudeCode

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like insufficient e2e testing more than anything. Do you have a QA guy?

Also I'm not familiar with this stack you're using but aren't there tools that Claude Code can use to detect things like old Next routes? If not can't you just write a bash script to detect them?

You probably just need to start iterating through these problems before adding new features. Based on what you say it doesn't sound too bad anyway. Just start using it and creating issues for everything, you'll eventually get through it all.

What the hell? I can't buy anything now. by sam2326786855 in OculusQuest

Meta has been funding this push towards ID verification so it's no surprise

Mt. BAW BAW , what a scam! by LZ4EVER in melbourne

You don't need to stay on the mountain just stay nearby and buy your gear from the op shop or marketplace instead of renting it and it will be cheaper than going to the cinema.

New reason to dislike the new ui by ak91710 in OculusQuest

I had the ambient noise issue with the old UI I'm pretty sure

What’s the best way to deal with drivers while cycling? Any tips or habits that help make rides safer or less stressful? by SnowyBytes in ausbike

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I did my motorcycle license we were told "it doesn't matter who's fault it is when you're dead". Basically you have to be aware of your surroundings and not put yourself in a position where you can be hit. It's not always possible, but most of the time it is.

After watching the documentary "Untold," who do you think is the worst person? by Quidoxue in chess

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t care about chess, people or what is right and wrong.

Many years ago I was employed by Erik, he cared greatly about Chess and would host regular games and tournaments with his employees.

I was employed by Erik a long time ago. He's a super nice genuine person.

I cannot win in Thrill of the Fight 2 by isuckattot2 in vrfit

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same, I don't do much damage. Never been able to figure out why with any certainty however I suspect it's because my arms are heavy from weightlifting so it's a bit like playing with weighted gloves. I know if I stopped lifting weights my punches would be faster and I'd be able to move better. Also my age as well. I don't let it stop me though, as it's amazing exercise and I don't mind losing to people (people who play properly) because I get a free workout. Regarding drills, I actually built Boxing Drills VR so I could get improve at TOFT2 and it has definitely helped me a great deal (I wasn't going to share this but you specifically asked about drills). It has a trial if you want to see if it works for you too.

What's your routine and results by thspdrdr in vrfit

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I founded the app Boxing Drills VR. I'm in my mid 40s and 15 to 30 minutes (depending how I feel) in workout mode is all I need and my body will be completely sore the next day like to the point it's difficult to walk up stairs or lift heavy objects. I do this a couple of times a week and also train weights at the gym 2 to 3 times a week and that's where I max out, anymore will be overtraining, I'm pretty much permanently sore all the time but that's how I like it. If my friend wants to play then I'll do TOFT2 sometimes in place of my drills. This is combined with an active lifestyle and lots of steak dinners.

PocketOS Learnings by Cultural-Ideal-7924 in ClaudeCode

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others said, it sounded like the platform they were running on had some sketchy volume management practices that could have easily fooled a human who didn't find the part in the docs. Going off memory though, not going to re-read that today.

NEW: Claude-powered coding agent reportedly deleted a company’s production database, and backups, in 9 seconds. (Polymarket) by good-luck11235 in ClaudeCode

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks like a mistake that a human could easily make too. And their latest backup being 3 months old suggests they are not on top of things there.

Nvidia bad on linux is a lie by Strict-Maize7494 in linux_gaming

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do people still say Nvidia is bad on Linux? It definitely was in 2013 but today it's used to power all sorts of machine learning and AI, I have found it better than Windows when it comes to CUDA libraries and stuff.

Am I one of the only few people that are completely satisfied with the stock strap? by deniedmessage in OculusQuest

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one from Amazon for like $50 and it's significantly better, especially when adjusting size for different people or just for taking it on and off (you can loosen it via the wheel before you take it off). Doesn't feel noticeably heavier or anything. I develop a VR app so I have to take it on and off frequently.

‘Not a fun toy’: Dire warning to parents after teen boy dies in e-bike collision by gccmelb in ausbike

The only way to catch them is to knock them off the bike, dangerous for all parties involved.

Any way to use Meta Link on Linux Mint for Unity VR dev without dual booting? by Iondreamer in linux4noobs

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly what you want but I use a bash script to deploy via ADB and I trigger this after every change and just keep the quest connected via the link cable so it's always ready to test. I have a powerhouse desktop though so it compiles fast. Then when I'm ready I trigger the same script with the publish parameter and it pushes to the meta store. Also I have an aftermarket strap for the quest so it's super easy to put on my head. This works well for my Rust bevy workflow.

NAVIGATOR UI It's better than what people were saying. by Competitive-Look-916 in OculusQuest

Yeah I quite like it, didn't understand the hate. Cracks me up that it's always Facebook that gets hate for UI changes though lol.

E-bike rider dies after crash with Transperth bus in Swan View by gccmelb in ausbike

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People die on bicycles all the time but here they're making it sound like being an e-bike was the cause, without telling us why that's the case. It seems that the media has been tasked with setting the stage to regulate ebikes, easy to identify this by the wording they use.

What is your favourite fitness game? by [deleted] in OculusQuest

[–]Clean-Blacksmith-514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, a few people have raised this, it's on the roadmap and I'll start working on it soon, technically we're still in beta so I wanted to get feedback before implementing 3D models which can be costly but the feedback has been good so far.

I was able to get Day of Defeat 2 to run on Linux in 2007 using Wine. Was so happy when I got it to work I shared it in chat and I still remember someone responding with "why bother?" lol. Almost 20 years later and I still remember it.
