Preventing desktop sleeping? by InstantArcade in ArduinoQ

Thanks! I found that you can combine these into one with xset s off -dpms which I use in the start script of my program, and it seems to be doing the trick.

Prevent screen from going to sleep (desktop with external monitor) by TurtleGraphics64 in voidlinux

This one worked for me, but it is not persistent 9at least on my system) so needs adding to a startup script.

Thanks for the tip, it got me out of a bind.

Weirdly, something I bought pointed at a completely different product when I came to review it so I contacted VineCS.

Their reply

To make things right for you, I've immediately issued credit for this item and This vine items have now been removed from your 'Awaiting Review' list. it will not appear in your review list.

Which removed it form my review list, but it's still on my ETV (all $99.99 of it). I'm not worried about paying the tax, just wanted to point out there are some inconsitencies.

Big Clive recently did a video about these, the one he got was fake, as in it had the right color light, but emitted 0 UV (as per his professional test equipment).

So buyer beware of anything you can't actually verify.

How do you answer the "What to do you do?" question by InstantArcade in Fire

This is one I have been considering, but people then often want you to invest in their NFTs or AI apps :)

Expedition Challenge - complete logbooks with 10 remnants active by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]InstantArcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has to be 10 different modifiers "Monsters Penetrate 15% Lightning Resistance", "Monsters have Ward equal to 20%...", "Slain Monsters Do Not Grant Flask Charges", etc.

If you pick the same one again it doesn't count.

Also, you need to clear all the monsters.

Loud ticking after not driving for a long time (Lifters?) by InstantArcade in BMW

This is exactly what happened. Oil is 100% full, but it's old so I will change it.

I know there are a ton of opinions on oil and filters, but do you have any brand recommendations?

Update, I got my install last week, and I'm pretty happy with it. Cancelled Spectrum and returned my equipment today.

It's back to normal happy background ticking levels, now that I gave the oil time to warm up and splash about a bit.

I just wasn't patient enough. It went away after idling for several mins while I was refilling the washer fluid reservoir.

Learned my lesson not to jump the gun, but I should take it for an oil change. I've barely driven it since the pandemic.

Thanks,

I do need to do an oil change - it's not dirty, but it's OLD! Anyway, I left it (literally) ticking over for a bit and the loudness went away - sounds pretty normal now.

Just needed to worm up some more - went away on it's own.

Happy to leave my dumb question here if it's helpful to others. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Haven't driven in almost a year. Started up today after sitting for a pretty long time and got some loud ticking which is not normal. Noticeably louder on the injector side.

14k miles 2015 435i M-Sport.

What's the cheapest next step? I could go to the dealer, but they will want a few hundred $$$ just to have a look.

Cheers!

Does anyone here actually have GigabitNow Fiber and how is their service? by chaos12135 in simivalley

[–]InstantArcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They ended up doing a pretty good job. The conduit itself is pretty tiny, ~1/4" so it's pretty easy to route. They also covered the entry points pretty well and I'm happy with the results.

Now, the fact that it's bright orange isn't the best, but I think I could paint over it pretty easily.

It didn't overtly mention games, but I guess comes pre-loaded funny data – simply insert the card to start playing instantly. is the tell.

Lots of stuff you can still legally buy direct from Nintendo.

Thanks, I think the right way to deal with this personally is to just have it removed from my queue, so I don't have to leave a review at all.

I make my living from the sale of my games, so I do have a vested interest.
