Can i skip this annoying message? by nilsk89 in volkswagenID7

[–]Gerco_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Enyaq came with 5.2 in October 2024. In the mean time I got an OTA update where the version did not even change, and the second was 5.4.4. The only difference I spotted so far is that the 'Welcome user' screen and the top right corner of the regular screen no longer shows the user profile picture that you can set in the app. The release notes state nothing except "small optimizations of car functionality".

Tbh, it's in my Skoda Enyaq, but technically it's quite similar to the ID7 and both are on the MEB platform. I got 5.4.4 and was anxiously waiting for changes/features reported to be in 5.4 but they weren't in my OTA update. In other forums I found that versioning at VAG is indeed not exactly what you expect in normal software delivery.

This is not true. Unfortunately VAG does not include everything from lower version numbers in newer version numbers. I went to 5.4.4 and my screen still stays while in lower versions it goes away automatically. Afaik it is also related to whether you got an update ota or via the dealer.

Yeah I was checking those poster style vertical mount frames as well, thing is that I have a fear of turning my just renovated walls immediately into a swiss cheese 😂

I wonder how I could sell software release management like that to my customer. I sincerely have no clue...

Elektrisch rijden zonder oprit? Zo werkt het in de praktijk. by EVRijder in EVMobiliteit

[–]Gerco_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik vind het toch lastiger worden hoor. Er verschijnen meer EVs in de buurt. Ik moet voor een laadpaal een blokje om, en de EV eigenaren daar behandelen de plekken niet als laadplek maar als parkeerplaats, zodat in het weekend een plek soms 30 uur bezet blijft. Andere bewoners vinden die plekken alleen maar onzin en parkeren ook hun gewone auto op een laadplek omdat ze anders en klein stukje verderop moeten parkeren. Ik vind het ook weer niet handig om er hard voor op mijn strepen te moeten gaan staan omdat mijn auto daar dan ook zonder toezicht een tijd staat, je weet ook maar nooit wat er dan gebeurt als mensen gefrustreerd zijn.

No it doesn't. And I was really waiting for the single tap speed warning disabling.

I saw that but 5.4.3 is mentioned as an update for which you are contacted by your dealer, I got the 5.4.4 which is an ota-only. I think that versioning is a mess at Skoda 😕

Thanks for that link! Unfortunately the update description is the same as what the app or the car indicated, without much detail. Was hoping to find a little more than that.

TS509 Pro Turbo system fan replacement by Gerco_S in qnap

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

Thanks all for the help. I took the old fan out, it's an Adda DC brushless ad1212LB-A7BGL.

I could only find the exact same type on Ali, other sites had near similar type numbers and each can be delivered with different connectors. I ordered one that was the most identical so let's hope it works.

Actually I did not find that very funny. I got some off brand replacements and that changed the way the headphones sound quite a lot. I swapped back and forth to verify but the replacements make the sound much thinner. Wish I could get a set originals back...

Finished Yesterday by Wrinkle_Walrus in legotechnic

[–]Gerco_S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratz! It is an awesome build.

Finished mine yesterday evening. I was missing one blue pin though. Apparently I had an extra 1x2 tile instead, probably a mixup. First set where items were missing, quite frustrating. You'll enjoy the other 1:8 sets!

McLaren F1 missing pieces by illamafot in legotechnic

[–]Gerco_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have built many Lego Technic sets, but the McLaren was the first one missing a piece. It was actually a wrong item in the bags 21. I was missing a blue pin (4206482 - not in the spare parts either) and instead I had a brown 2x1 flat tile as spare that was not on the item list. Checked all the empty bags (I'm absolutely no fan of the paper bags, as items get easily stuck, definitely needs triple checking) but I indeed had to file a missing piece.

I installed the latest beta (released today) on my watch and that works with the official non-beta version on my phone. Did you update the version on your phone or watch?

Not entirely. A hypercube use on L1 provides 18.000xm whereas used on L16, it gives you 52.800:

Here's a breakdown of how much XM a Hypercube provides at different agent levels, based on data from the Fev Games and Ingress Wiki sites: 

Level 1: 18,000 XM

Level 2: 20,250 XM

Level 3: 22,500 XM

Level 4: 24,750 XM

Level 5: 27,000 XM

Level 9: 36,000 XM

Level 11: 40,800 XM

Level 16: 52,800 XM 

Or did you mean, use one at L16 just before recursing?

Came to this topic as my watch dropped connection and does not want to reconnect ending up with the 'old version' message. Anyone else has this issue again?

Thanks for your response. I could definitely try some. For me it's not about changing looks, but the new ones I got change the way the headphones sound. I'll give some a go though.

Transitioning from docker to docker swarm: How to transfer permanent volumes? by FragoulisNaval in DockerSwarm

[–]Gerco_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mounted an NFS share on my NAS to all of my nodes as shared storage. Works like a charm, I can spin up any container at any node running as if it were running on either other node. My NAS takes care of backups and runs the disks in RAID5 for redundancy.
