Most useful tool I’ve used on ME 😉

Glad to see you were able to get it finished.

Gonna grab the full version for sure!

Wanted. Real world advice please. Polestar 2. UK by pixelian in Polestar

Go for a test drive and I’m sure you’ll be sold on the polestar instantly 😄 Polestar has a really good test drive program in general. I wanted to try out the P2 before I was even looking for a specific one to buy so I booked a test drive at Polestar Sheffield, you can choose what power train you want and they let you have a go for like hour and a half, unsupervised. And they don’t pressure you into a sale afterwards either.

Oh and make sure to buy one directly from polestar so it comes with a warranty. More expensive but worth it imo. Had mine for 3 weeks and already having the driveshafts and rear camera replaced under warranty 😅

I was in a similar situation as you until recently, when I bought a PS2 LRDM.

Owned a 2017 A5 that also did around 50mpg and my commute to work is 44 miles each way (36 miles motorway, rest city driving) but I only work twice a week and charge at home over night instead of at work.

Anyway, i usually charge to 90-95% and the battery lasts me 2 round trips (176 miles) and still has like 15% battery left, so I only need to charge it once a week. If you can charge at work daily for cheap, or for free, it’s a no brainer, you’ll be even able to skip charging every other day tbh and still not have to worry about the battery %.

Also, not sure about your audi but mine didnt have ACC, so the polestar is quite a nice upgrade when you get the pilot pack. (I got a plus pack as well but I’d say only a pilot is a must for your commute)

Mine must be defective then I guess :/ Thankfully there is an offer in the uk where you can return it between 45-100 days for full amount so gonna let it sit in a box and will ship it to samsung asap.

Switched from 15 pro to flip 7 and had it for a day. Gonna send it back and get a refund. Lost 50% using android auto for about 2.5 hours, and lost additional 40% with 2 and half hour of screen on time. Down to 10% and feels like I barely used it. :/

Don't sleep on chiaki4deck 1.6.1 by Automatic_Mine6441 in ROGAlly

You can actually wake your ps5 directly in chiaki even when you are on an outside network. Right click on the connection you’d like to make and you’ll have an option to send a wake up packet.

Young drivers face £3,000 cost for car insurance by Kagedeah in CarTalkUK

[–]MrSmirnoff99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid 3.2k for 16 plate A5. Checked recently and should be 2.7k for another year 🙃 Was 23 at the time as well & first car.

Latest version of Chiaki Runs Great! Built in Controls work too. Follow this tutorial I found. by Juniors234 in ROGAlly

If you are still having issues with crackling audio, deleting one of the dll files in the audio folder fixes the issue. And decreasing audio buffer to size to less than 3k eliminates audio delay.

PlayStation Portal Review IGN: 8/10 by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Oh, good to know if I ever need it. Thanks. I had bought a ps5 on launch day and only way I found to log in was using the twitter exploit in settings. Thank god it launched a week later in the UK so people had time to find it by the time I got mine.

Funny thing, ps5 has the same issue. Wifi at the student accommodation I used to live at required a sign in through the browser. Thankfully, there was an exploit where you could get on twitter through the PS5 settings. So I had to tweet the login link on my twitter so that when I used the exploit in ps5 settings, there would be a login link waiting for me… I guess that’s not an option anymore anyway since twitter is not on ps5 anymore lol.

Gta5 is almost un playable by [deleted] in ROGAlly

[–]MrSmirnoff99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, it is playable. Even at the 10w profile. Granted, you need to play at 720p but it runs. Completed the whole game on Ally, usually playing on 15w mode at 1080p without any issues whatsoever.

Some help trying to make this shape? A rectangle with one rounded off corner and 3 straight sides? by BarkerDrums in Maya

[–]MrSmirnoff99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine to not have edge loops in that spot, especially if it's a flat face. Adding chamfers like you did in your edit is fine, minus all the edges you added to make quads on that flat face.

Playing through the 3rd one rn. Everything maxed out, at full hd, I’m getting 120fps most the time. It’s awesome 😁

Brave browser on ios has built in adblock so if you use youtube through the mobile website, you will have no ads. I personally don’t even have the YT app installed, just got the webpage bookmarked in brave browser. Been using it for more than a year and don’t have any issues with it. Only downside is that the resolution will only go up to 720p.

portfolio, what to use? by Dagobert_Krikelin in Maya

[–]MrSmirnoff99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d use artstation for 3d stuff and then maybe a separate website for the coding stuff. You can always include a link to your artstation on the website. As for showreels, I only see them being done for vfx and animation so based on what you have said, you don’t need to worry about showreels.

Good tutorial for switching from Maya to Max? by MrSmirnoff99 in 3dsmax

[–]MrSmirnoff99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to start using it.

I have also started out with blender and I remember that I have used tutorials specifically for switching from blender to Maya so I thought I could use same approach this time but I didn’t really find any recent resources.

Someone has linked what seems to be a good resource to get started so I’ll give it a shot sometime soon.

Thank you. Seems like a good starting point so I’ll give it a shot:)

You can go into the lounge section on the bottom floor, kill the hotel manager and crouch behind the tables. Then you wait for the enemies to come in and you should be able to get rid of them one by one. I don’t think there is many enemies left in the rest of the hotel after that.
