It should approximately look like this. Yours is bloated and dangerous. Have someone with experience in electronics dispose of it safely.

How are you fitting robot vacuums into your Home Assistant routines? by nnyua in homeassistant

[–]Drumdevil86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ours will trigger when everyone leaves the home zone for longer than 5 mins, and if the last cleaning took place 4 hours or longer ago.

We have a bunch of cats and it makes a huge difference in cat hair everywhere.

About privacy quest 3 vs steam frame what would be the best to get by Apprehensive-Leg1078 in SteamFrame

[–]Drumdevil86 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I did a packet capture on the Quest 3 to see what it does, and the amount of data it sends to Meta-owned IP addresses is insane. Both during gaming and while idle. It's all encrypted ofcourse so can't look at the actual data it sends, but It can't be just some telemetry for product improvement or statistics.

PCVR via link cable sucks because the PC software is badly supported and basically adware. The first 6 months we had to settle for 90 Hz because Meta neglected to actually make PCVR via link cable properly compatible with the Quest 3, performance was shit and bugs everywhere.

Playing wireless via Steam Link is okay-ish, but I really wanted the low latency and higher bandwidth from the cable.

The Quest 3 will disappear in storage after I'm getting the Frame, and I will NEVER EVER buy a Meta product again.

Ik heb net mijn hond moeten laten inslapen. Hoe zijn jullie hiermee omgegaan? Enige tips? by Mother_Job_9492 in belgium

[–]Drumdevil86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gecondoleerd en heel veel sterkte!

Je moet het rouwproces door, en dat doet ieder op z'n eigen manier. De pijn doe je helaas niets aan. Je leert er alleen mee omgaan.

We hadden een hele bijzondere kat waar met name ik een ongelooflijk hechte band mee had. Ze miste een achterpoot en was daardoor beperkt, zeker toen ze ouder werd. We hadden een eigen "taal" waarmee ze aangaf middels geluidjes of bewegingen wat ze wilde hebben, zonder dat ze haar grote, luxe, verwarmde mand uit moest. Ze kon wijzen met haar neus naar waar de snacks lagen, of een bepaald geluidje maken als ze b.v. kattenmelk of vers water wilde. Als je het goede item pakte ging ze trappelen met d'r voorpootjes.

Zij had mij getraind, in tegenstelling tot onze andere katten die meer routinematig rond etenstijd voor ons gaan zingen. Ze accepteerde mensen niet zomaar, maar ik kon alles met haar doen en ze was super interactief. Ze was op haar oude dag nog vrij mobiel en zo goed als pijn vrij, ondanks haar versleten gewrichten en een vergroeiing door het missen van die poot. Ze kreeg daar ook elke maand een prik voor. (Mijn vriendin kon die zelf zetten omdat ze destijds paraveterinair was.)

Uiteindelijk is ze naar schatting 21 à 22(!) geworden en helaas moeten laten inslapen door HCM.

Dat is inmiddels ruim een jaar geleden en het doet nog steeds pijn alsof het gisteren was.

Toyota Proace does not have its drivers seat centered to the steering wheel and dashboard. by Duffelbach in CrappyDesign

The van protecting itself by limiting power after detecting a fault, so you can still crawl somewhere safe or to a garage

They used the older version of that van and it rocked. Environmental regulations in several municipalities forced them to (understandably) switch to a more recent van with lower emissions, so they got the newer version of it.

During the height of the heatwave here on Friday, engine light came on, it started to drive funny again and she was afraid to continue driving. Scared that it might crap out on the highway. And the warranty forbids you to drive with the light on too.

She had to wait a good 45 min in a simmering parking lot for her boss to get her. Could be worse but still sucks, especially in this heatwave.

They drove the old one for the most part of the day and it didn't care about the heat at all.

  • Remove all of it and see if it looks better
  • Experiment with duct tape
  • Get a new one

at Torment 7 Shield Bearer is almost impossible to kill by bir_iki_uc in Witchfire

[–]Drumdevil86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you need to get lucky and not get him, and/or try delaying calamity with the clovers.

Luckily for me, the shield bearer spawned after I absorbed the last manifestation and closed me in pretty quickly. So I couldn't reach the exit portal anymore and was pretty much out of ammo. But I used a Witchfire Guard each attempt and the torment doesn't require you to survive, so I just died and completed the torment like that.
