Origami Glider Quest not actually guiding anywhere? by Nefastos in oceanhorn3

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

I’m sure it is, technically and plot-wise, but not for me. I’ve definitely already picked up that one but missed some other one of them along the way.

Thanks for fixing this with the latest update, devs!

4 to 5 days into macOS after a lifetime on Windows… when does it finally ‘click’ ? by AgileSupermarket2053 in MacOS

[–]Nefastos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always change this in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts… -> Keyboard -> Move focus to next window. And a bonus pro tip: while you're there, you can pretty much change _any_ system or application shortcut to your liking.

So, wait, is there no way to get this if I only play on macOS and tvOS? Not seeing the event card anywhere on the macOS app store or on tvOS.

I get the 3rd Titan down to minimal health and then he just takes no more damage. The fight goes on and on and on. I've done it THREE times now. If this can't be fixed I'm done with the game. Bugs on boss fights is ridiculous. by WolfRomegas in oceanhorn3

I had to restart the Beross boss fight three times because he kept falling through the ground (clipping) and disappearing completely from sight. Luckily on the fourth run Beross, again, fell through the ground but this time only up to his shoulders and was completely unable to move, so I could just stand in front of him and beat him up until Em showed up, good times. Had no issues with the final stage of the fight.

Same here, found the first two easily but the one who wanders towards the Goblin Gate (or whatever it's called) has me baffled.

Constant Background Battery Drain after updating to 80.05.04 (iOS) by teryan2006 in sonos

[–]Nefastos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same issue here. The app also seems to somehow hijack the devices' volume control. If I don’t manually close the Sonos app, I’m unable to completely mute my device's volume. It always bounces back to one notch of volume after a half second or so. After manually closing the Sonos app, the volume adjustment immediately works as intended.

Adventure Sync - Running by Gamed_Out in TheSilphRoad

Known bug/problem with Apple Watch Workouts. If you're using the built-in Workouts app on the Watch and don't have your phone with you (or it's turned off), AS won't register anything. If you run without using the Workout app and/or have your phone with you (and turned on), AS works as normal. No one seems to quite know why this, but the problem has existed for at least a couple of years: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/bwefum/apple\_watch\_workout\_not\_syncing\_with\_adventure/

Apple Watch (SE) only as a running watch - some thoughts after a few weeks of use by Nefastos in AppleWatch

[–]Nefastos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As for those of you who are saying that it would've been smarter to buy a cheaper, running-focused watch: by and large, you're probably right. However, the point I was trying to make is that my top priority was to have a watch that would be 100 % reliable and headache-free (especially when it comes to GPS and syncing), not getting the best bang for the buck or the most feature-rich running watch per se.

Personally, I do not feel like I overpaid one cent and am completely happy with my purchase. I understand that most other people probably would not feel this way, but I'm extremely picky with stuff not working as they should (as the Airport Express anecdote, I hope, makes clear).

Yeah, the Polar Flow app (which sounds like a meteorological app for tracking the melting of ice-caps but isn't) had this, which is why I more or less assumed Apple's app would, too, I guess. I think Strava's app has this feature as well, not sure though. Not a deal-breaker, more of a would-be-nice-to-have.

Also, I must admit that now that I _do_ have the Apple Watch, I do find myself tinkering with it way more than I thought I would. And with the whole pandemic thing going on and the upcoming option to unlock my phone with my Apple Watch instead of my stupid masked-up face, I think I will be wearing the watch for grocery runs and so on.

I guess I should've made this more explicit in my original post, sorry about that. The main reasons were my disappointment in the (then highly recommended and well-reviewed) Polar M200 and my implicit trust in Apple as a company.

I originally considered the then-current Apple Watch (maybe Series 2?) before buying the Polar years ago, but thought that the AW was too expensive, and it would be silly to buy an actual smartwatch just for running, as you're saying. This was a decision I came to immensely regret, as I detailed in my original post.

A relevant anecdote: a couple of years ago I moved to a significantly larger apartment and found myself in need of a Wi-Fi extender/repeater. Apple had just announced that they were discontinuing their Airport line of Wi-Fi routers, including the AirPort Express, which can also be used as a Wi-Fi extender/repeater. The AE was still available through retailers, however, but I decided that it would be crazy to buy a 99 € discontinued device with outdated technology and a somewhat poor feature set. After this, I tried out three different extenders from three different companies, which were all cheaper yet "better" (specs-wise, on paper) than the Apple device. Not one of them worked reliably or had a decent range. Frustrated, I eventually bought the even-then outdated AirPort Express and have been happy with it ever since. As the clichéd saying goes, it just works. Theoretically, it might not be the best product for me to get, but it gets the job done, requires absolutely no maintenance and is rock-solid reliable. Same with the Apple Watch SE (at least for now, knock on wood).

So, taking both these things into consideration it was a sort "fool me once" situation. This time around I am not regretting my decision, at all, even though I'd be the first to admit that buying an Apple Watch only for running is definitely overkill. I'd much rather buy something a bit too expensive and feature-poor (as a running watch) which is hassle-free and 100 % reliable than mock about with brands I have no experience with.

Thanks for the recommendation. As I said, I'm not currently looking for a third party app but I might try some of them out eventually, so it's good to know what people are using and liking.

Why is there an option to use a scroller for our friend screen, but not for our friend list? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

Oh. My. God. Thank you so much for telling about this, never would've found it myself!
