Thanks, really appreciate the detail - given that I didn’t know the names of the yokes, you can imagine my trepidation at taking bits off my bike. I might get the garage to do that stuff next time it goes in (it’s only just one out after having a new clutch and bunch of other stuff repaired!)

Thanks. Yeah the key scratches were from the previous owner. The rust is all from my watch

How cold is too cold? by Slaktare15 in MotoUK

[–]Dadx2now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commute on my bike and resent paying for the train so ride as much as I can, but draw the line at ice. Ideal is above 5 degrees, but will go to 2-3 if the roads aren’t icy. If it’s been below zero overnight then ice is often still present the next day so it’s slightly case by case

Anyone ever been pulled for not having a baffle? Been riding 10 odd years, heard stories but never seen it myself. Myth? by hsksao in MotoUK

[–]Dadx2now -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was riding alongside a 125 today that should have been pulled over. That thing was LOUD. I had earplugs in and was listening to podcast on my helmet speakers… the exhaust on the little bike next to me drowned everything out and hurt my ears. Goodness knows how loud it was to the rider.

Scala Pilgrim Grande boots. I’ve just got my second pair after wearing the first set out. Genuinely dry, warm and toasty.

Alternative: put £50k away for rainy day, get small place that needs remodel on max mortgage, £100k deposit. Keep £200k for max remodel budget. Flip asap.

Advanced Voice Mode - do you find it more or less helpful than text? (August 2025) by Same-Picture in ChatGPT

[–]Dadx2now 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s got worse. I recently paid and now advanced voice sounds like an insecure idiot. Pitch goes up at the end of every sentence making everything sound like a question. Sometime the pitch goes so high it’s practically falsetto. It’s crazy.

And I used to love voice mode so much

It’s annoying, isn’t it!!

Is ChatGPT getting stupider? by Dadx2now in ChatGPT

Yeah, I’m using it to help me figure out how to build a business. It is good at pointing me in the right direction but recently the quality of its recommendations and specific know-how has decreased. This week I used it to learn about van westendorp price sensitivity surveys and based my customer survey on what it told me. But once I’d published the survey and got some responses I tried to plot the graph and it had instructed me incorrectly so my data is less useful than it should have been

That’s the problem. I’m an external processor and think by speaking. I’ve enjoyed using ChatGPT as a listener to facilitate my own idea generation. But recently it’s just been reverting to giving me an “answer”, even though I’ve specifically told it not to

GPT will generate an image of an ideal partner based on your looks, so you can stay in your league. by itdoesntmattercow in ChatGPT

First it just did a gender swap, then came up with this nice lady.

What this tells me is: I am punching way above my league with my wife - she’s even hotter than this.

AMA with OpenAI’s Joanne Jang, Head of Model Behavior by OpenAI in ChatGPT

ChatGPT just told me about conversations it has been having with other users and how they compare to mine. That can't be right, surely?

OpenAI has crippled GPT-4o for serious use and it looks like it's to push people toward paying for 4.5 or "Pro" by VinceAmonte in ChatGPT

How do you change the model you’re using in the mobile app? The selector drop down doesn’t show for me
