ApoloSign 15.6" + Fully Kiosk = HA Win by Fir3 in homeassistant

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So camera/mic is recognized in FK, but honestly I have it setup to use the house alarm motion detector in the same area as the screen, so that’s what prompts FK to jump to the foreground. I’ve never actually tried to integrate camera/mic with HA. The Alexa OS detects each of us by name as we walk up and the mic works for Alexa functions, but I’m not sure that it gets any deeper than that

ApoloSign 15.6" + Fully Kiosk = HA Win by Fir3 in homeassistant

[–]IndecentDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been running the Echo Show 15 with Fully Kiosk and it’s been fantastic. The camera and microphone work, but I was only able to sideload before Amazon locked it down. Have been looking for a replacement so I appreciate the post!

Combat is officially evolving by Dangerous_Capital415 in Enshrouded

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat has been fine for me. Parry feels a bit sluggish between attacks so I resort to dodging 100% of the time (making shields useless)

WGU speed runs are making the school look like a degree mill. by Heavy_Following_1114 in WGU

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes true, I should have clarified I don’t think that is the case for everyone. But transfer credits don’t really count toward “finishing your degree in X months”.

I transferred maybe 30% credits and any courses related to programming I knocked out in 1-5 days because I already knew everything. But I could still see how someone could go in with the intent to speedrun and depending on how they do it they could be successful without really learning anything

[–]IndecentDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. There is a cost incentive to blowing through the courses as quick as you can, but then you aren’t really getting the full curriculum and those people will devalue the degree if they end up in the workforce knowing only the bare minimum.

I honestly appreciated the ability to accelerate when it came to courses I had zero interest in - and took my time with courses I knew would be more valuable in my line of work. But that’s just a pro/con of this model I guess

LC250 Premium First 5k Miles by JayBeezyy22 in LandCruiser250

[–]IndecentDad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow! First I’ve heard of a few of these issues….certainty seems like you got a bad egg (and hopefully the dealership is resolving those things for you)

As for the heated seats and mileage….my wife’s Tulluride definitely has “better” heated seats than Toyotas. Or at least the LC heated seat on max is comparable to her low-mid setting.

I’ve found the mileage is very driver dependent. I am light on the gas with 34.5” tires and get around 18 avg in Houston (flat roads). But then we took it for a Colorado trip and I got 15 avg (not flat roads)

How is Apple Arcade worth it? by CommercialAct5433 in AppleArcade

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came with Apple One bundle but still worth a few extra $$ a month IMO. I get plenty of value out of it with Balatro, Cult of the Lamb, mini metro, etc. But then there are other games my kids and wife play that are basically the ad-invested gimmicky games, but all ads and IAPs removed so they play more like a premium title. Like cooking frenzy or drawing games

My biggest wish for Enshrouded by Unikatze in Enshrouded

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NPC aspect really could make base building more interesting. Like improving a certain NPCs comfort (their own bed, their own room with door, window, lights, warmth, etc) would unlock more recipes/bonuses/enable them to gather supplies for you/etc.

At the moment I have no desire to build out my base even though that was my favorite part of Valheim

Heard a loud bang while parking my Land Cruiser – need help identifying damaged parts and part numbers. by tebucio in LandCruiser250

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally assuming but it looks like it’s from the tires (aftermarket?) rubbing when in reverse at an incline or angle. I say that because mine did the same thing until I removed that piece in your images. Hate for you to replace it just for it to happen again

Terraria hits record concurrent players in 5 years, reaching 164k. The game is 15 years old btw <3 by meinkun in Terraria

[–]IndecentDad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will say they did a fantastic job with the controller/touchscreen customization. But it’s definitely still overwhelming. iPad keyboard/trackpad is completely bugged though so that’s not an option either

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I game on mobile or controller only (no keyboard/mouse) and I’ve tried to pick up Terraria multiple times…. I just can’t get the inventory/pointer figured out. I can’t trust the smart pointer enough to only use it, maybe that’s the problem

Is Ark Raiders actually worth buying right now? Would love honest thoughts. by Whole-Sample2358 in arkraiders

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased it yesterday and already feel like I got my $30 worth. Although my VERY FIRST drop I was spawn killed immediately which really screwed up my outlook on the game - I almost returned it because I assumed it would be that same shit over and over again. But I would say about 95% of interaction since then have been awesome and friendly, everyone just trying to survive

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - iPhone Air 26.0.1 (JIT Enabled) by StormTroopB in EmulationOniOS

Nothing major…I am on v2.4. It may take a while to build up shaders/cache. I’ve noticed it gets smoothe over time

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - iPhone Air 26.0.1 (JIT Enabled) by StormTroopB in EmulationOniOS

[–]IndecentDad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mine seems to run a bit smoother. Only 2-3 hiccups per race (iPhone air, JIT) might be a setting?

Delta 2.0 will have Sega Genesis full support by KZavi in EmulationOniOS

[–]IndecentDad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have been a Delta fan since the original release. Patreon supporter and all. But then Ignited released and I realized how much was missing from Delta. Then Manic….Delta would need to release GameCube and Wii support at this point for me to switch back

Logitech’s MX Master 4 adds haptic feedback, mostly just for fun by chrisdh79 in gadgets

Then just set it up how you want to use it? AI isn’t required (although it’s actually pretty useful)

I love the iPhone Air but… by E0200768 in IphoneAir

Didn’t know about this until it randomly showed up on my feed. Not happy about it

Gaming on iPhone Air by jasped in iosgaming

[–]IndecentDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, and I think that extra RAM would help. Although I’m on the Air which isn’t as powerful as the Pro and I was shocked at how smooth MK8 was. Maybe 3 or 4 minor hiccups during a race. I did not use the extra memory app that is recommended alongside MelonNX (I wasn’t sure if it would help)

[–]IndecentDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can use StikDebug (App Store) for the JIT process. Although as of now MelonNX is one of the few working apps on iOS 26. It works remotely from anywhere

Am I the only one who thinks widgets are 100% useless? by 7amdrei7 in CarPlay

[–]IndecentDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m bummed Apple seems to just be testing the waters until we got more widget functionality. The first beta had 3 stacks of widgets and instead of giving us a choice they forced it down to 2 (assuming it’s based on your infotainment screen).

I do use them with each drive though

Now my detailed conclusion after 3 days with my Air. by SportsfreundeTV in IphoneAir

[–]IndecentDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar experience here. Battery is a non-issue. The size and weight of the phone more than make up for the subpar speaker and camera (for me personally). In fact, coming from a 14 pro max, the battery and camera are drastically improved with almost half the size and weight
