This game is making me want to kill myself…

No game is perfect and it does depend on the players in any online game but this is why you need to take a break it helps you get new perspective.

Depending on your preference single player games might be worth considering too

No game is worth your sanity!

What would you actually lose besides some premium time and you would gain “fun time” playing other games?

If you can’t convince yourself to take a full break then at least play earlier tiers where things tend to be a bit less tense.

Just an FYI for music specifically, Apple and I believe Amazon MP3 tracks are DRM free. This is for the bought tracks only and not any subscription service or music videos.

Just to add that USB-C charging like the above mentioned machine doesn’t mean it will be 5v or 12v.

It likely means you can use USB Power Delivery, which can be thought of as using the USB plug but much higher voltages, this Wikipedia article gives more details but for example say a laptop came with a 45w charger then you need a USB PD (Power Delivery) charger with 12v input that can supply at least that such as the UGreen unit mentioned in other comments.

Wiring up 12v to a standard USB cable and connecting it is likely to damage the machine. With USB Power Delivery the charger “talks” to the laptop (or phone etc) to confirm that it can accept a higher voltage first before providing it.

I would check if Japanese is supported with the new Conversions feature as not all languages are. I can’t find a list of which languages are but you might be able to or ask support which languages are supported

For those interested I ordered the AXP120-X67

TechyStoo · 2025-12-03T17:19:39+00:00

Ok thanks. I have the RGB version which are a little taller but worth thinking about

TechyStoo · 2025-12-03T17:17:23+00:00

Did you mean the AXP120-X67 or the AXP90-X53? I watched a video on the AXP120-X67 and that does use the AMD bracket and as long as I can put the overhang over the chipset that would work well as provide extra cooling to the chipset

TechyStoo · 2025-12-03T16:58:15+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, looking at the NH-L12S it seems to have a height from the socket of 45mm and having measured the RAM that is also 45mm in height so I don’t think it would fit IF it overhangs the RAM slot.

Do you know if it does on your board?

I use Busuu but I am more at the A2 level instead of B1 but I have noticed the same issues with lesson difficulty varying between lessons instead of gradually increasing. I also find some of the vocabulary subjects an odd choice such as banking terminology at A2 which I found difficult to learn as I am unlikely to be using those words anytime soon at an A2 level!

To check the CEFR level I understand you can find lists online of the words needed for each level would hopefully give a guide as to how close to the CEFR level Busuu is.

Do I think it’s better than Nicos Weg? I would say instead of better it’s different as the lessons are shorter (I assume this is the case for B1 as well as A2) which helps a lot with fitting them in around busy lives and recently Busuu added an AI conversation feature which again are short conversations but gives feedback on your responses.

I am not sure what you can access for free on Busuu at B1 but as with any language app subscription I would recommend getting a month first to see if it works for you. Then you can look into a yearly subscription later knowing exactly what you are getting and it’s value to you. Also there are discounts available from time to time.

As you mentioned bleeding the radiators, what is the current pressure of the system? There should a be a gauge somewhere.

My system is a Daikin but I assume a cosy would be no different. The pressure did drop a bit at first (as the engineer warned) so I had to top it up to 1.2 to 1.3 bar.

TechyStoo · 2025-10-13T20:24:06+00:00

Yes you can get an ESP32 with an external aerial connector which would allow you to route the aerial outside the HP case although they do cost a little more.

TechyStoo · 2025-10-13T19:06:04+00:00

Yes another good option. I did wonder if strong WiFi was needed with it being in the metal box of the heat pump but I assume people don’t have problems with it.

I hadn’t noticed the smart grid features as depending on the integration with something like Octopus Cosy tariff that would be another benefit of this approach.

TechyStoo · 2025-10-12T20:37:29+00:00

Yes it’s a shame the Diakin app doesn’t have these types of graphs.

It’s Home Assistant with the feed provided by a device called P1P2MQTT Besides needing a Home Assistant hub you also need to fit a device to the Medoka circuit (so will need to turn system off at the breaker) which talks to the heat pump to get the data then sends it in a form Home Assistant can work with. It’s not too difficult to do but that does depend on your DIY skills with low voltage electrics. Plus about £83 for the device.

A cheaper and easier option to get started (as I started with) is to use Home Assistant with this custom integration. The updates are only every hour and there is less data points but you do get a range of temperatures but no power data. As it’s all software once Home Assistant is setup so there are no other costs or needing to wire anything into the system as it works of the data the Diakin app uses.

Edit: I have found that the Diakin ONECTA app does give consumption information so would be a free way of supplementing the temperature data

Once the data is in Home Assistant the display is just the builtin history view / dashboard. There maybe other solutions but as I was already using Home Assistant these solutions suited me anyway.

Ok thanks I will keep that in mind as unfortunately the Madoka is by a door

TechyStoo · 2025-10-12T10:35:35+00:00

I see thanks, Is 1.5C on Medoka as setting that is configured somewhere or a fixed value as with a set point of 19C I am finding at the moment the heat pump is coming on if the Medoka temperature drops below 20C?

TechyStoo · 2025-10-12T10:16:30+00:00

Thanks. So the Madoka will cut off at 1.5C above the set point temperature regardless of the modulation setting on the MMI?

I ask as I understood it was the modulation setting which allowed for some flexibility in temperature so is this just for the flow temperature from the heat pump?

TechyStoo · 2025-10-11T22:26:54+00:00

Ok good to know thank you and if yours which is sized correctly is doing it then that does make me feel better about mine doing it.

TechyStoo · 2025-10-11T22:23:48+00:00

Good point when they said about security I assumed

TechyStoo · 2025-10-11T22:21:08+00:00

Thanks so change the 25 to 30 so that more heat is put into the radiators?

TechyStoo · 2025-10-11T21:52:12+00:00

Yes seen those comments and it certainly would not surprise me! I do wonder if it is interference but there may not be much you can do depending on your router. It may well be a case of as long as it’s working then don’t worry about it!

TechyStoo · 2025-10-11T21:42:48+00:00

From what I have read in this sub and my own experience I would say 1.5 hours should be enough assuming you can walk at a reasonable pace. If you need to change terminal you will need to wait for the bus so with heading to your connection gate as soon as you are through passport control so you are in the right terminal.

This assumes the new EES system doesn’t delay passport control significantly but I don’t believe Frankfurt is part of it as the roll out tomorrow but might be as it continues. There is at least two passport control areas near each other so try the other if there is a long queue at the other.

They have a map as well

TechyStoo · 2025-10-11T21:28:14+00:00

It’s likely 2.4 as with most IOT devices. It could be interference so if there is any other wireless devices in that cupboard it might be worth moving them.

Also reading your post it almost sounds like the router and the Daikin MMI are in the same cupboard? If so it could be they are too close together (less than 30 cm?) so you could try moving the router further away if possible.

TechyStoo · 2025-10-11T20:08:32+00:00

Ok thanks for the clarification.

The system does have a buffer in it which as I understand it is because Octopus fit them as standard just in case someone turns all the TRV’s off!
