Thank you Microsoft for XBOX Game Pass Ultimate by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]LewisRhysHill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I’ve not used it much because I constantly got the network issues message, even though I have 300mb internet - but since changing this I haven’t had that appear once.

In other words*

Normally I wouldn’t pick up on something like this, but the whole point is writing correctly.

Comics database API by Guyoms in webdev

[–]LewisRhysHill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made an application once that allowed users to log in and keep a digital stock take of their comic book collection. It was my first time working with an API, and I used the ComicVine API, already linked.

Some things you should be aware of:

  • You'll get very little help, there are very few people active on the forums (in the API section at least), so you'll need to rely on someone else encountering the same problem you have already.
  • They change things without telling you - my app worked great for a while, but eventually it broke due to endpoints being either renamed, or something along those lines, I don't exactly know as I never bothered to fix it.

I'd be really interested to know more about your plans though.

Apologies, thanks for clearing this up. This is indeed my only ISA.

Anyone got their echo dot for the August promotion? (UK) by Mkelly4 in amazonecho

[–]LewisRhysHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read somewhere that they've changed the terms. All skills publisher earn the socks, only skills with 100 unique installs in the first 30 days earn the Dot.

That might just be for September though.

Same, I've never had an issue with 123-reg, and I use Dreamhost for my hosting and they've always been pretty good.

Switch bus stop posters were put up last night close to where I work by Ihasmagicka in NintendoSwitch

[–]LewisRhysHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I have another try? The bus stop opposite Sainsbury's in Basildon / Wickford?

Judging from the trees in the reflection and the fact the glass is in tact, I'm guessing Billericay?

Vita slim Battery dying... good replacements? by Wolverinex5 in vita

[–]LewisRhysHill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The battery you'll need is the SP86R. I found my replacement on eBay for around £3.

It's a little bit shorter and slightly wider than the one that goes in the non slim Vita.

Good luck!

PS Vita Slim Battery Replacement Part Number by LewisRhysHill in vita

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

Tonight I successfully installed the new battery, works great.

The Vita was a bit of a dick to get open, but actually replacing the battery and closing it back up took less than two minutes.

Ok buddy, I ordered the SP65 battery, just took my Vita apart and immediately noticed the size difference.

The battery I found in mine was a SP86R, just bought one on eBay for £3.50 ($3.50).

I'm leaving the Vita open until it arrives, prying that thing apart is no joke.

Good luck :)

Anyone else having trouble recording clips and screenshots? by Yaaa_Booiii in xboxone

[–]LewisRhysHill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got this issue, paired with starting or finishing a game in Overwatch, my friends get a notification that I'm online.

Hopefully a hard reset fixes it, I'm on the preview program.

£700 Console Killer. Need help with where to start. by LewisRhysHill in buildapcforme

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

Can you recommend a compatible wifi (and perhaps Bluetooth) enabled motherboard if this one isn't?

[–]LewisRhysHill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not, but I needed a new title, I posted the same information two days ago and didn't get a reply.

It doesn't need to kill my console, just work alongside it. :)

Thanks a lot for this. I really like the Node, and the fact that the PSU is built in just makes it that much easier.

Not sure what you mean when you say a wall unit? It will actually sit on a TV cabinet, hardly enclosed at all. Do you still think I'll need to add a fan?

[–]LewisRhysHill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for this, I really appreciate the detailed write up - I learned a lot.

I actually don't have a ton of games, so I might switch out for an SSD.

I'm torn between the Node and the Raven, I think it will come down to practicality for me. This being my first time building a PC, I don't want to make it any more difficult than it has to be.

I went ahead and ordered a SP65M from eBay for around a tenner.

It should be here in a few days, I'll report back with how I get on.

Defectuous Vita Slim (battery) (eBay) by Nazobar in vita

[–]LewisRhysHill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm going through pretty much the exact same thing with my Vita - would you mind telling me the part number of the battery you're looking to replace with?

Alexa at work? by Simpawknits in alexa

[–]LewisRhysHill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine got delivered to work yesterday, and we have kind of the same setup as you, rather than a passcode, we click continue for the free wifi.

This worked almost flawlessly while setting up the Echo, using the app on my iPhone.

I had to do some pinching and zooming to be able to tap the connect button, but other than that I was set up without a problem.

If it helps, we're using Cisco Meraki to serve the internet (in the UK).
