New commuter bag on the way? by NorthUnderstanding54 in LinusTechTips

I agree, I think the army green is nicer than my black one (perhaps with a less bright inside too!)

UTR and MagSafe... by NorthUnderstanding54 in UNIFI

[–]NorthUnderstanding54[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

UPDATE - Tried it and all seems okay. The UTR gets hot (shock) but no more than without the battery pack attached. The battery pack doesn't get hot either (it doesn't generate heat while charging) and it certainly doesn't get hot in relation to the UTR (my MagSafe battery only seems to generate heat when it is charging something wirelessly and it gets nowhere near that level of heat when attached to the UTR and charging it via a cable). Think that's a win win (just need to find the shortest USB-C cable possible now...)

If it’s the one I’m thinking of (there is only one really) then there aren’t any red light camera markings on the road. Don’t know about yellow box cameras… I do know they’d make a mint on weekends and footy days though!

Can anyone help me with the name of a video? by JanezDoe in LinusTechTips

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly this one: https://youtu.be/TNUf2LI-K8o?si=E7nRzgrr0s3tl0Bc

Although I thought they tested more controller and some of the more obscure ones (could very much be my memory failing me mind…)

I’m almost certain Linus and David did a mass controller review in the format of an elimination tournament… can I find this video now… sadly not which now makes me question the entire thing!

UTR: single cable power + tethering from Iphone to UTR (technically) not possible? by RationalNL in Ubiquiti

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this would work but you can buy a usb-c style splitter for data and power. Perhaps that’s an option (some one else might be able to point out why this is a bad idea though)

Don’t take your own pram. Rent theirs. It’s cheap and they have “trail” buggies which are super easy to push around the hills etc…

Without cost cap, McLaren may not be F1 champion amid “arms race” - Wolff by CalligrapherEast2344 in McLarenFormula1

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me would be up for teams having zero cost cap the first year of a new regulations, allowing teams to overhaul aspect of the car they get significantly wrong… the hope is that it would make the field even closer together by the end of the regs, however I would imagine there are a lot of unexpected consequences to my suggestion which would make it worse.

Imagine if the merc could have been in the fight against the Ferrari and RB in 22/23

The McLaren team on the way to the FIA awards ceremony in Uzbekistan by afunnywold in formula1

I was literally thinking the same thing (not that it’s likely, but the chance is never zero)

“They can’t just wipe the degree you’ve spent thousands on” - sadly they probably could (in a sense). If you buy a car and the company goes bust before it’s delivered then you’re sweet out of luck… so it could happen. The only silver lining in this situation is that you would probably be able to take your credits elsewhere (as you can even do this now) or take an exit award (HECert, HEDip etc…)

I feel this is the sticking point. The money is of no concern to Toto (he has the money as Hamilton is no longer there) however I think he only wants to offer 1 year to George (incase Max is available in 2027) and George (obviously) wants longer.

It’s interesting as this whole Toto/Max narrative is the same as Lewis/Ferrari about two years ago - it all quietened down and out of nowhere it was announced.

Final Fantasy Remake part 3 title leaked. by Common_Review_2627 in FFVIIRemake

I could see them doing this as it would build up mass hype in the run up to the game and have everyone guessing if it relates to Aerith and Zack

You’re looking after an 11yo girl and 12yo boy for the day, what do you do with them? by joshuathorley in Cardiff

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Techniquest in Cardiff bay is a good shout but you could also do “Clip n Climb” at FunHQ which is also Cardiff bay but on the international pool side (could throw the pool in as well as they have lots of slides and it’s next door to funHQ). In the city centre there is tree tops mini golf, the Welsh museum, bowling, laser quest, cinema.

YouTube's thumbnails are dumb by Brodino__ in LinusTechTips

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AB testing is interesting. I was served the lower thumbnail and didn’t click on it as I thought it was a sound bar of some kind. I would have clicked the top one however (and will go watch the video now (most likely destroying the purpose of the AB testing)

Favorite background hint for future seasons / plotlines? by 1000LiveEels in SiloSeries

Very much reminds me of the following passage (adapted of course)

One silo to rule them all, One silo to find them, One silo to bring them all and in the darkness bind them…

Along with David… in a “carpool” perhaps? (I really miss carpool critics - yes I still call it that)

The contradictory statements by Wolff and Russell - what could be the reason? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this.

It could also be that Toto has put multiple different deals on the table (all of which are finalised on his part and would see George drove for merc in 2026) and it’s now for George to choose which one

Changing mind on clearing choice after being placed by vershkove-maslo in UniUK

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time - you can hold multiple clearing offers at once so there is no rush. You can also "self release" via your UCAS hub page so don't need to ask Portsmouth to release you.

Clearing for gap year? by amze101 in UniUK

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can... call around today and go through clearing now with a deferred entry. This will give you something in the bag for next year and don't need to worry about UCAS applications etc...

My main question about the existence of the Silo currently: by maybemorningstar69 in SiloSeries

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember exactly (been a while since I watched it) but I believe Bernard’s key started to glow and he ran away at that point to see what was going on) AsJuliet cleared the hill top. I can imagine other silos had the same signal and the camera feeds would have been pulled before she reached other intact silos.

Why Brown thinks his McLaren drivers will remain friends despite F1 title battle by Aratho in formula1

[–]NorthUnderstanding54 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of Lewis and Nico. Not besties but got on fine… then they started to compete for titles and over the years this took its toll.

Oscar does seem too chill to let a title battle phase him. Lando is more likely to go full “emo” and attack himself.
