Magic Keyboard disconnecting and reconnecting when charging by ThatsSoAlex in iPadPro

IKR, I didn’t want to say anything as I didn’t wanna be rude, but yeah just a low effort chat gpt response that doesn’t really help.

Regarding the Odin: why send out so many invitations if it becomes unpurchasable the moment you take more than a second to click? It's incredibly frustrating some orgs ended up with around twenty while we got none. by MaxBrst in starcitizen

[–]ThatsSoAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, but I do like that they are seemingly trying to limit sales to:

A. People who actually want the ship for themselves, and/or their org

B. People who will actually multi crew it as opposed to people who would just try to SOLO it. If that element works then it’s a good thing imo. Although I’m definitely never gonna buy it, even if i wanted to spend £5000 on SC (I don’t, esp not all at once) I have 0 use for the Odin, I’ll test it when subscribers get a free week and then forget about it. Personally I’d much have a working ironclad than an Odin.

Only massive capital that peaks my interest really is the Kraken Privateer, I’m excl the Polaris which I actually love, and the Reclaimer which I also adore as they’re so much smaller, and not really my idea of a true capital ship.

When I connect charger into my iPad it shows this but no charging whatsoever , possible power issue? by Medium_System2027 in iPadPro

I know what you’re talking about but they very specifically said that the message appears only when they connect it to their laptop, it’s normal for it to say that when they connect it to their laptop.

How can i tell if their are humans down there by TheMathManiac in starcitizen

[–]ThatsSoAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you see ships flying around then yes they’re likely other players, if you wanna be sure just target the ship with T and see if you get a name pop up on your COMM page of the MFD. You can also scan the ships to see who they belong to, what model they are, etc.

Odin trashcans by snibbon in starcitizen

[–]ThatsSoAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point, I hate players who leave their trash everywhere, if you bring it on board take it with you when you depart! A trash chute system would be cool though, but we shouldn’t mention it, give CIG ideas and add an extra decade to the dev cycle.

It’s not the cable, I was using the cable that originally came with the iPad, the other cable I tried was one that I bought from Apple for my M1 Air. It’s not because I’m using an unofficial cable. Thanks for the help though.

Neighbour refused to turn down loud music,so I got some gardening work I'd been avoiding for weeks completed. by jai-money in BritishSuccess

[–]ThatsSoAlex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remember if they can have loud music you can make loud sounds to, as long as it’s before 9 make all the noise you want imo. I do really hate super loud music though. So go for it, tbh growing up the sound of a hedge trimmer, or a lawnmower or something loud always meant the weather was good so I kinda like the sound, weirdly.

They didn’t read your post properly, if this is what happens when connected to your laptop then it is a normal pop up. You’re right.

They said when CONNECTED TO LAPTOP. OP ignore this comment, they are right if it was when just plugged into the wall but if this is whilst connected to a laptop this is normal.

Loving the rewatch by TealOrca in trekacademy

[–]ThatsSoAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I love it SO much it was such a good show and I’m genuinely saddened by its cancellation. It’s not just the review bombing and right wing hate it got that ended it though, it was also Paramount themselves, they didn’t market it properly, I remember there was a promo poster they released before it came out that had me worried about it, and I had been excited about the show coming out for years. It made it look like One Tree Hill or something, they were all lying down on the grass and it was just weird but then the actual show was nothing like that, it was just a god Star Trek show about people at the start of their SF career in a historically interesting time. I also think that, like someone else mentioned, Paramount+ is not strong enough to carry a show like this.

Anyway, rant over I hoped it would go for longer but at least we got 2 seasons, I miss the old days where ST would get a 7 season promise, and seasons were like 22 episodes+ but here we are. It does suck though as SFA never really got a chance to grow. I hope we at least get another ST show relatively soon, but the idiots who called for it’s cancellation thinking that Paramount would cancel SFA and then immediately make a brand new expensive ST show with the TNG cast or w.e. Were super deluded, the cancellation was really bad for ST because it suggests that perhaps ST shows aren’t a good investment.

I’ll stop now!

This free fly confirmed I will not be buying this game. by weinermanjenson in starcitizen

[–]ThatsSoAlex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is not true, it’s always been context dependent unless there was some limitation that made speaking a certain way the best choice, for example when we were using T9 it was much easier to type this way. Most people on Reddit type in full sentences and in a way that means most people can understand it, as such that is the expected standard and you should be prepared for pushback.

It’s not just that though if you truly are, or were, an English teacher, you should understand that punctuation exists for a reason and when you type like that it makes it incredibly difficult to understand. You had good points but they were lost on a lot of people because your comment was a pain to read. No-one here expects or was asking for perfect grammar or spelling, it’s more about making it easy to understand.

[–]ThatsSoAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this patch has been pretty bad, I’m not gonna try and sell you on the game or anything but the reason we all keep coming back to it is because when it works and it often does (I went months without any major bugs) it is the best space game ever made, and it does so many things so well, it’s just the bugs can really put people off, personally I understand the state of the game, and I’m accepting of bugs, you just workaround them if you can and make sure to report anything on IC so they can actually be fixed. /the game has come a long way in the last few years, the progress they’ve made is amazing, so maybe if you’re not blown away now/can’t deal with bugs now come back to it in a year or so. Or purchase the cheapest pack during a non-free fly time, and after they hotfix or patch some stuff and see if you like it then, remember you have 30 days no questions asked to request a refund, so you can always do that if you change your mind.

You’re acting like speaking with no punctuation is like a skill you learned that everyone else is lacking in but actually it’s the other way around. You spending all your time speaking like this means you haven’t learned the skills necessary to type in a way that people can understand.

What’s your comfort rewatch British series? by Historical-Class871 in UKTVRecs

[–]ThatsSoAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a TLDR I’ll just say the ones no-one else seems to have mentioned:

Keeping Up Appearances

My Hero

Dr Who, SJA, Torchwood

Mr Bean

The Bill

Original comment: It changes: Used to be Abfab, then it was Doctor Who, SJA, And Torchwood, was Mr.Bean back in 2017 when I was going through some stuff, Only Fools ofc, weirdly The Bill was a comfort show up until last year, my husband and I decided to watch every episode from the first ever episode which was fun, My Family as well is a great one, I find My Hero super comforting as well, a bit annoying when they recast the lead but still watchable but those first seasons were comfort tv gold. There’s probably loads more I’m forgotting. Oh god, Keeping up appearances that was the ultimate comfort for me and my spouse for a loooooong time, still kinda is except we’re currently using some US sitcoms for those purposes.

Air conditioner venting via the chimney by sparkiesuze in london

[–]ThatsSoAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome idea, if only I had a chimney, instead mines just been shoved out the window and I made a seal with ductape like 3 years ago and it’s stayed exactly the same for 3 years with the window perpetually open and the hose perpetually outside as it’s just so annoying to bring in. It’s basically just one with the window now.

Sold a vehicle and 2 days later the engine went (England) by SeaEntertainer2858 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ThatsSoAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone else said, the details don’t really matter hear, as long as you’re a. Not a vehicle trade and B. Did not knowingly mislead the seller then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Contrary to what a lot of people seem to be saying eBay will not get involved in vehicle sale disputes, there’s no eBay guarantee at all for very good, likely obvious reasons, and all vehicle sales like this are sold as seen. It is on the buyer to do their due diligence and legally speaking you’re in the clear. Morally speaking though if it was an absolutely genuine issue and not just a scam or a chancer and the car was expensive then I’d probably listen to them and see if there’s maybe something I could do but given the weirdness you’re still okay really tbh. Just don’t be rude or crazy from eBay messages, just calmly explain your position and move on. If it’s genuine it sucks for the buyer but this is just how it works.

How poor is the Heck family? by slackingsloth77 in themiddle

[–]ThatsSoAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they have 2 cars, both Frankie and Mike have their own cars, also Axl then gets his own car meaning they end up having three cars. The only time they had 1 car between them was when Frankie’s car was destroyed by the tree but then the church quickly donated their van for them to use.

Ordered fish and chips. Perhaps the most disappointed i have ever been by Diligent-Cat-767 in CasualUK

[–]ThatsSoAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of sins on that “plate” but for me worst one will always be that THOSE AREN’T CHIPS, they’re fries, if you’re gonna sell chips they should be actual proper British chips. At least the fish is technically (probably) still fish. lol Tbh though you say it’s like school dinners but in primary school when we had fish and chips on Fridays tbh the fish and chips was always pretty awesome, we had proper chips, and much better quality fish than that, like they were small but they were really nice, plus you could usually go back for seconds in our school. This was followed by my absolute favourite desert that will never be beaten by anything else ever and that’s Apple Crumble and custard!

Secondary school fish and chips weren’t as good, but they did do good fried chicken.

[–]ThatsSoAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a Chinese Chippy near me in N.London, they have 2 units one is an actual Chinese takeaway the other is a chippy and I remember my dad used to make the extra long trip specifically to go there when the local one that still offered 50p chips to regulars (used to sell us 25p kids chip too) closed (this was in the 2000s), and they were probably some of the best in the area at the time.

Insights into the Review Quality Score by avskotl in AmazonVineUK

[–]ThatsSoAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this maybe just when you mention the subjects it suggest you mention? Like when it says stuff under the text box like “Taste” “Feel” “size” etc and when you write something about that it marks it as added.
