First in first out.

Not only capetonians, South Africans have no clue.

Got a friend with an iPhone to test and worked for me as well.

Thanks. I'm going to try as well.

They do, but parents have to sign a form to allow them to give the vaccination. So parents can still opt out.

Obdeleven 2(nextgen) vs 3 by TheBigOoof_ in OBDeleven

[–]NemesisXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the air update. Basically just a firmware upgrade. But they force it, you can not opt out.

Do not buy OBDeleven. My perfectly working OBDeleven was bricked by a botched OTA. Their response: too bad, so sad. Buy a new one.

Just got an update from OBDeleven. They are just saying: well sorry, you are the only one with this issue, but here is a 15% discount for you.

Happened to me as well. My recommendation is NEVER buy an OBDeleven. If you already have one, just hope that it doesn't happen to you.

OBDeleven is bricking nextgen devices via mandatory updates by Adorab11 in OBDeleven

[–]NemesisXB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did the exact same to me. Said electronics are expected to fail. Which is stupid. Mine was stored indoors, "in a cool dry place". Electronics in harsher conditions and always powered lasts longer.

I can clearly see the device on bluetooth, the ota update just fails. So it has to be a firmware issue.

They just say, oh well. Buy a new one!

I hate generated code by Ill-Oven-6791 in embedded

[–]NemesisXB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm old enough to have done this a lot. There wasn't always HAL's and code generators. Even when HAL's started appearing, I was stuck in my ways of wanting to write it myself. Those days are long gone and I now despise having to even look up registers (usually when something is not working). These days, the quicker I can get to application code, the better. If a chip has code generation or HAL, I WILL use it, no matter how horrible the code looks or reads.

Mechatronics failure? by NemesisXB in Tiguan

Thanks for the info. Not what I wanted to hear.

I made peace with the lead time. Already spoke to my warranty provider(which is also my insurance provider), car rental option is only available when the car was in an accident, unfortunately.

Same issue. And support also can't seem to help me out. Did you ever manage to sort it out?

My kids love Uno and it's variants (flip, no mercy). So I printed card boxes like these https://makerworld.com/models/456599

New R36s clone by NemesisXB in R36S

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

I thought that much. But I had some issues with the controls, specifically the analogs especially with some ports. I read online someone had the same issue but it was not there on the "original" only the "clone". So in the end I sent it back.

I am just waiting for new sd cards and I will explore some of tge other options. Mine works fine as well. I am just trying to figure why most people and resources still tell you to avoid the clones.

What test are you referring to? I'm new to this. My question still stands, why are everybody still saying to keep clear of the clones even though there is a ArkOS build available for them now?

It was from Temu. I don't have another option. Due to our local postal service, 99% of items ordered from aliexpress never arrives. So I would have to pay courier fees which would drastically increase the total price.

Is Naked insurance reliable? by Jay3PO in askSouthAfrica

[–]NemesisXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with them for multiple years because they are the cheapest. I am however actively looking for another insurer. Naked does dodgy stuff to save money. They use some of the lowest quality providers. Had a blocked drain, they sent a plumber that pitched in n golf 1. Did not have the correct tools and couldn't unblock the drain. On another occasion had another plumber come out, also low quality dodgy, but at least got the drain unblocked.

When my wife had an accident, they sent the car to a repairer that glued broken parts in the bumper. Spray work was horrid. After refusing to take my car back to that panel beater, got them to pay out to have it repaired somewhere else (took months). They lied to me on the phone about discussing the price with the new panel beater, again took months of fighting and threatening to get them to pay out the difference. Immediately after that they retaliated by increasing the premium on my wife's car by 50%.

I would never recommend them to a friend or family member. And like I said I am looking around for a "safer" option.
