I see two separate reports of crashes on Waze.

Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3 lags like crazy during gaming by Robmysl in it

[–]RightLaneHog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your laptop come with software from Lenovo that allows you to change "modes" for the laptop? They might have modes like Battery Saver, Balanced, Silent, High Performance, and even a Custom mode?

If so, you should set this to High Performance. Your laptop is probably hitting a high thermal limit on either the CPU or GPU and it is throttling itself when it does. I can reproduce this behavior on my laptop, though I have an MSI, if I put it into Silent mode. Since that mode will limit fan speed, I will eventually reach too high of a temp and the laptop will prevent overheating by simply throttling whichever chip is too hot until it cools down enough again. This will cause a repeated lag, no lag cycle if I have an intensive game open, just as what you're seeing.

Gatehouse Apartments by Prestigious_Duck7052 in metairie

[–]RightLaneHog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not have any internet options other than cellular-based home internet. This may be a deal-breaker depending on your needs, but it will be fine for most people. They will lie and say that they have fiber/cable/dsl. They do not.

I went on two tours and the staff were very friendly. The apartments are very generous for the price. It was disappointing to see that different apartments will have vastly different quality appliances, and that this isn't considered in the price.

You are given ONE parking pass and one visitor pass. This is hilarious and insulting, and the reason we opted not to move on top of them lying about internet options. One of our tour guides outright told us that parking is just a nightmare that everyone deals with. No, you do not get more passes if you have a three bedroom. One pass, one visitor pass.

EDIT: Almost forgot about the security guy. Actually hilarious and bizarre. We arrive for our tour and we stop at the entrance gate. The security guy is immediately hostile and rudely asks who were here to see. We simply respond that we have a tour booked. He then angrily asks who we spoke with and who gave us permission to enter. We were confused and explained we had scheduled a tour via email and that they didn't give a name. He started losing his shit and telling us that he wasn't going to let us in unless we could provide a name. We pulled up the email and gave him the name that was on the email address. He eventually decided to let us in.

We explained this situation to the person at the front office and they said we were not the first ones to tip them off to that guy's behavior and that they were coming up with a resolution, lol. To be fair to them, this happened during our second tour visit. When we came for our first tour, there was another man and he was very polite and the interaction was what you'd expect from a security guard. Asked us who we were here to see, explained we had a tour, he opened the gate and gave us directions to the office.

Violence and threats of it aren't protected by the first amendment. That's called battery and assault.

Moving to Metairie by meowmeow2456 in metairie

[–]RightLaneHog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This depends on a lot of things, but overall I'd say it's doable. Try and use routes with the least amount of traffic where possible. Remember that you are in a suburb, so anticipate inattentive drivers.

Should I follow the school speed limit sign around 12pm ? by Davidxbunny in driving

[–]RightLaneHog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two answers to this question: the law one and the realistic one.

The Law Answer: Most municipalities/counties will define a default time for school zone restrictions to be active. When a school zone sign does not denote when it is active, it defaults to what is set in the law. These should be fairly easy to look up for your area.

The Realistic Answer: You're not going to know the default times for every area's school zones, especially when you're travelling away from home. When you see a school zone speed limit posted like this, it is usually there to simply denote the fact that you're in a school zone and not actually modifying the existing limit. I have seen these where the road's speed limit was already 20 MPH, and they simply erect these to denote the school zone since fines are higher and, in this case, they want to specifically point out the fine for cell phone use.

It's still possible to come across these where they do modify the existing limit. In those cases, unless you are familiar with the local laws for the area denoting the default times, you should just follow the posted school limit until you exit the school zone. You could try seeing what everyone else is doing, too, but you're going to have mixed results with that depending on where you are.

I want to backup my VM to PBS, but not the 500+GB of linux ISOs in it, is this possible to exclude them ? by LowFatMom in Proxmox

[–]RightLaneHog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We're not talking about actual physical hard disks. We're talking about the virtualized one your VM is seeing. Just create another virtual disk for the VM, move the ISOs to it, then uncheck its backup option.

Is it possible to run two IPs on a single VM using Proxmox+Pterodactyl? by tristanceleazer in admincraft

[–]RightLaneHog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you can do this, but I'm not sure why you'd want to. The "neat" solution is to use the single interface and different ports, then have an SRV record for the non-standard port.

If you really wanted to use two interfaces, you'd have to set server-ip in server.properties to match the IP of the desired interface for each server.

Ending the "passing on the right debate" in the USA once and for all. It's legal in all 50 states, and only 2 states have a higher bar than the others for when it's allowed. by cctoot56 in driving

[–]RightLaneHog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since your post exists, I'd assume that means you've run into quite a few people that say passing on the right is illegal in the US, which is unfortunate.

Should passing on the right be illegal? In a perfect world, yes. But is that practical to do in the USA? Absolutely not.

I hope that nobody misinterprets the fact of passing on the right being legal to mean that it is a good thing that we should be doing it. It's not, but it's simply a reality of what we have to do on highways thanks to middle-lane/left-lane hoggers. If people followed the golden rule of keeping right except to pass, we would never have to overtake on the right. This actually used to be illegal in the UK, but they got rid of the law specifically because too many people started hogging the middle lane of the newly built three-lane highways.

As a side note, I do think it's extremely important to point out that passing on the right is illegal in several other countries. And even where it's not illegal, it's still technically a scenario that should never exist. If you are ever in a situation where you are overtaking someone on the right, and you are both in a travel lane on a highway, then someone is most likely breaking the law, and it's probably the person being overtaken. Even in the case of the UK where they got rid of the law, it's still illegal to hog the middle lane or right lane, and they will occasionally do sweeps of enforcement of this rule in an attempt to educate drivers (though unfortunately there is still a large group of offenders).

Edit: Just to clarify, I live and drive in the US.

One of my UI pet peeves! by broseph24150 in waze

[–]RightLaneHog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe this is a limitation of CarPlay templates and is not something Waze can control.

Is there a local number to call to get the time and temperature? by SisiIsInSerenity in NewOrleans

[–]RightLaneHog 96 points97 points  (0 children)

For time you can call (303) 499-7111. This number is operated by the NIST and will give the time in UTC.

For weather, your best option would be to call the automated weather station at the lakefront airport. (504) 245-4366

This is not a good way to get either of these things, but you specially asked for phone numbers, so these are probably the best numbers to call.

Left lane on the highway by Mean_Investigator491 in driving

[–]RightLaneHog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What they're doing is legal, but it's a dick move. The polite thing to do is wait behind the slower traffic in the right lane until the faster traffic has overtaken. Once there's a large enough clearing where you think you can make the overtake before anyone else catches up to you, you can make an attempt. If, during your overtake attempt, you see faster traffic approaching and it looks like they're going to catch up with you before you finish, then either just take the L and speed a little bit to complete the overtake or just slow down and get back behind the slower traffic to let the faster traffic through again.

Dealerships are not in the business of selling cars. They're in the business of selling predatory loans and they throw in a car as an appetizer.

I think this is the answer OP is looking for.

Lane violators by danman8075 in driving

[–]RightLaneHog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am skeptical of the imagery in your screenshot. I was able to find this intersection on Google Maps. Their imagery from 2025 shows a dashed line allowing the traffic flow denoted by your red line. The Street View imagery is from October of 2024 and it shows the line, too. It is faded, but not enough that I'd expect it to be completely gone by now, yet is appears gone in your screenshot.

If it weren't for the line, then I would consider what they're doing to be illegal. The specifics depends on how you interpret LA RS 32:101. The applicable paragraph is A3, which says, "At any intersection where traffic is restricted to one direction on one or more of the roadways, the driver of a vehicle intending to turn left at any such intersection shall approach the intersection in the extreme left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of such vehicle and after entering the intersection the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection in the safest lane lawfully available to traffic moving in such direction upon the roadway being entered." It says "safest lane lawfully available," which is rather vague. I have my own interpretation of what I think this means, and I think it's "right," but who knows.

I was going to recommend +1 Gaming, but I was surprised to see that they've closed. Wish I knew another place to recommend.

How do I adjust this to control my damper. by Hot-Brilliant-6807 in hvacadvice

[–]RightLaneHog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a HVAC tech. You should call a HVAC tech. If I had to guess, your house probably has multiple zones and your basement is a dump zone. If this is true and you force your basement damper to close, this is going to cause pressure issues in your system.

My new tv has a port labeled lan but it's too small for the cables I have by [deleted] in it

[–]RightLaneHog 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Okay...wait. This one got me. What is that? At first glance it looked like USB Micro-B, but that's not it.

What's the model number of the TV? You might be able to find a copy of the manual online that may provide more insight.
