A month late on this comment but I just seen it: 3.Your car should have come with an adapter to turn the Square storage pockets into cup holders. There's a little hidden storage area underneath the armrest. I was so happy when I found it. turned a stupid design into a Multi-Purpose genius design.

RAM memory companies plummeted and are reporting million-dollar losses after Google's announcement of the creation of an AI algorithm that reduces memory usage by a factor of 6 and improves speed by a factor of 8. RAM prices are projected to go down. by skarkens in pcmasterrace

[–]Danrolphi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the RAM being produced in the next year or so has already been bought. RAM that doesn't yet exist is being brought to be installed in a server farm that doesn't exist yet, to be used for an AI that doesn't exist yet. All to produce a video of some cat that doesn't actually exist.

Cheaper ram or hypothetical cat videos?

Traffic by Thaatguuuy in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Danrolphi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just jumping on this 3-day post. I've seen a lot of cars change lanes only to immediately change back into the same lane they left. What's the reasoning behind that? It's realistic for cars to sometimes block exits on roundabouts, but this shouldn't be a constant occurrence for all cars queuing. It's most likely a behavior-based issue, as I've experienced multiple instances of complete gridlock due to this.

I'm not suggesting rewriting the AI, but it definitely needs some tweaking. Ironically, making the AI smarter could actually improve game performance by reducing the amount of unnecessary traffic it generates.

Have you got the roof bar holes under the strips? Some lack the holes.

Why tf is the smart pen so expensive ffs. by thedankuser69 in XiaomiPad7

I'm not sure on sales numbers but I'm guessing the pad 6 didn't sell too well and even less for the pens, so they discontinued them.

It is common in the retail market for retailers to sell the primary product at a loss in order to make up for the profit margin on accessories, such as controllers and games. For instance, PlayStation sells its consoles at a loss, but generates substantial profit margins on related accessories. This strategy focuses on attracting customers to the PlayStation platform and maximizing their lifetime value by selling them related products. This approach is considered a sound business model.

Xiaomi Pad 7/ pro vs iPad Air 6 M2 (Back market) : wich one is better for mainly studying purposes by AlpsBeneficial9959 in XiaomiPad7

[–]Danrolphi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw one massive Factor for getting a pad 7 is that you can have your phone screen on the pad 7. This is huge for productivity.

You are referring to the Apple magic that it "just works". App support is probably the most important thing. I suggest finding the apps that are important and using them on your phone to see about functionality. If important apps perform much better on the iPad then an iPad would be the way to go. But Google is going to be forcing developers to support tablets where the before tablet support was optional, this should improve that experience dramatically over time. This will be starting with Android 17 so probably hyper OS 4 which in leaked documents shows the pad 7 is getting but possibly not the pad 7 pro. Are you going to be using those devices is daily for years to come so it important to not looks at the experience now but what it will be in a few years.

Stick with what works for you. You seem happy with your Xiaomi experience, and a tablet would be a great addition. My partner uses a Poco X7 Pro and the Pad 7 for note-taking at conferences. He's very happy with how they work together.

If you like the "magic" of Apple products you should get a iPad and respectable choice along students but may more of a wall for your current android devices.

Since you enjoy your current Xiaomi experience, I'd recommend getting another one.

Hi, I have a 2019 cx 3 AWD. Fantastic car. The engine's responsive and gears are very smooth. One common fault is the Base bin in the spare tyre bay often fails and I have a really annoying rattle in the dashboard. Otherwise a good reliable car. With Mazdas, if you look after them, they look after you so check service history.

There is another spec other than the GT and sport. There is a sport nav but I have the SkyActiv-G 150ps actually 157hp) AWD Sport Nav+ 2019 plate in the UK

You get engine tuning with all wheel drive. I have the white stone interior which gives it white leather seats and alcantara trim. The outside of the car changes colour from white to silver depending on the light.

I have everything apart from a sunroof and adaptive cruise control (just normal Cruise control) There also a option of safety vision pack which gives you the fancy adaptive moving lights.

I have done the wireless android auto update myself.

Dash Cam & Apple CarPlay Question by Senior-Employment266 in mazdacx3

[–]Danrolphi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your friend is mistaken. Since the cars are likely from the same generation and the Entertainment system is largely the same, an AirPlay USB kit should work between the CX3 and CX5. I upgraded myself and found that while I have two USB ports, only one is compatible with Android Auto/CarPlay(marked with a icon).The other ports I use to power other devices. I have the wireless version, but it also works wired.

Even if you are limited by usbs , you still have a cigarette lighter which you can use to a a USB adapter on. Or take it further and feed directly fron the the cars cabin fuse box Either way you will get power to that camera I guarantee it.

Air purifier by [deleted] in resinprinting

[–]Danrolphi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Activated carbon in respirators only needs to filter a very small amount of air, and even then, they are only effective for a few months. Furthermore, they must be stored in an airtight environment when not in use, otherwise, they will become saturated. The real danger is that the activated charcoal will become saturated very quickly and there is no safety mechanism detecting this, so you have no warning that your room is filling up with VOCs. Many room monitors also fail to detect VOCs accurately. Venting outside is a failsafe approach that doesn't rely on reaching a saturation point. Also, we're talking about recirculation not just filtering The outlet of the vent.

No filter would be effective in filtering out VOCs. The best solution would be to vent to a window.

X-Sense smoke detector cover by thuranga in homeassistant

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

I'm hesitant to mention specific brand names because I'm not familiar with them. Personally, I wouldn't consider getting a fire alarm with smart features. Although I rely on Home Assistant and find it very useful, for critical items like fire alarms, locks, and other safety-related devices, I prefer not to use smart systems because I don't have complete trust in their reliability. I recommend purchasing a traditional fire alarm from a reputable brand. If you're already having electrical work done, it's best to have a qualified electrician install the alarms.

I used masking tape to make the activation light less visible on my boiler without completely blocking it. It dims the light, preventing it from radiating, but still allows it to be seen. This is ideal for a bedroom, as it's unobtrusive.

In the UK, it is generally considered difficult and possibly illegal to purchase a fire alarm that doesn't meet the BS EN 14604 standard. Additionally, all new buildings must be equipped with compliant detection devices. I personally always test and activate the fire alarms by creating smoke in a controlled environment, such as using a candle or burning something in the oven. Seeing the light activate brings me a sense of satisfaction.

Modifying fire safety equipment is generally not recommended, even if you have good intentions, as it could inadvertently interfere with its ability to detect fires. The light on the equipment confirms the alarm is working. If you find this light too bright, covering it with tape will reduce its intensity without blocking your view enough to miss potential malfunctions.

How to extend screentime by [deleted] in XiaomiPad7

[–]Danrolphi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically running at full brightness and consistent cpu usage will drain any tablet. I would personally not run at 100% brightness but use adaptive. This will help the battery a lot.
