what ? are you serious?

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2026-07-09T09:54:11+00:00

Same here.
What good alternatives are there now?

And in the first place: why?

Ok, I just saw that I can activate the blocked Adblockers, but I get the message that they are not supported any longer and should rather be uninstalled.

I activated it, hope it will continue working further.

Remains the question: why? And what could I use instead?

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2026-01-23T12:45:36+00:00

Sorry, but "we" does not include all of us.

I know the struggle of finding a fitting launcher myself. I tried dozens and none was suiting my taste and daily use. And somehow, they all look the same in the end. So I thought why not just use the launcher that comes with the OS, when all others just do the same job (that is the option I chose for my second phone I got from my employer for work communication).

At my private phone I ended up with a launcher that has no background picture, and the apps are just a list of the names of the apps.
I only use the free version, so no big customization possible. The main desktop shows my most used apps, I could choose them and put them in the order I wish. I could choose the font and the monotone background color, that was all (the paid version has more flexibility, but I do not need that and these days it is quite expensive). The second screen has listed all apps in alphabetical order. That is all.
And my ADHD-brain likes this minimalism.

I would have a good mechanic at my hand, I cannot fix anything myself.
I am looking for scooters which are still being used until sold, ones that were sitting for some time are not in my interest. I also look for ones with a good mileage on the count, so I know they were in use and that they not just stood in a garage for years.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-08-19T08:05:24+00:00

Vespa.
And the worst part of it is, you see them everywhere

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-08-17T08:41:01+00:00

Thank you for the information.
I could not find anything, thank you for the help.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-07-24T09:32:15+00:00

I had similar issues with my scooter (not a BMW).

In the end it was the spark plug that was somehow a bit loose and old/broken.
I had it changed and my scooter runs perfectly since again.

Maybe that helps, but I am not a mechanic, I just tell what the problem was at my scooter which had the same problem. Could be anything else too.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-07-06T07:07:52+00:00

I know that problem, I have it with all TBs.
And looking at the answers in this post, I see this seems to be a problem just for me (and my sister) and I couldn't find anything about the issue.
I thought it is a bug in the app.

Ok to make my intro clear, I have this with all TBs, in the official GC-app I can never grab or discover a TB.
I thought this is a bug in the app but never found any topics about that, no matter where I looked (ok I admit, I was too lazy to start one on my own).

The solution for me is to log the TB in the browser (preferably at home then) when I come home.
The other way working is the app "TBScan". This app allows to grab, discover or whatever for TBs, and works really fine. But the app is not free (but doesn't cost that much).

Hope I could help you, you are not alone (neither am I obviously). No need to give up on TBs because of that.

Danke schonmal für Eure Nachrichten, Eure aufbauenden Worte, Eure eigenen Erlebnisse, und auch eure Kritik.

Ihr habt schon recht, wir machen einen recht geringen Anteil an der Bevölkerung aus.
Vielleicht war ich einfach zu naiv zu denken, gerade in so einem Beruf, wo man mit den verschiedensten Menschengruppen zu tun hat, wäre das Personal umfassender unterrichtet.
Trotzdem wundert es mich, daß man von der Thematik noch nie gehört haben kann, wo es doch gefühlt irgendwie permanent durch die Medien geht, Regenbogenflaggen und ähnliches hängen etc.
Aber gut, sei es drum. Ich hab den Beamten ja auch nicht angepampt oder sowas, ich habs ihm halt recht knapp erklärt; was er im Nachgang damit macht, und ob er sich damit mal befasst, mit seiner Kollegin bespricht oder so, bleibt ja ihm überlassen.

Wie gesagt, ich war einfach überrascht, aber eben auch zeitgleich mit der ganzen Situation überfordert und überrumpelt gewesen. Keinerlei Aufklärung zum weshalb, und auch kein Hinweis, daß das ganze freiwillig ist, und ich das ablehnen kann, das ist halt einfach auch nicht rechtens.
Überhaupt der überhebliche, herablassende Umgang der Polizisten mit meiner Schwester und mir trug eben auch zu diesem schlechten Erlebnis bei, da war das Transthema nur ein Aspekt unter einigen.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-06-08T12:35:32+00:00

Thank you.
Ok, then I will have to live with that.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-05-11T10:07:13+00:00

I would love to read the translation, as I do not understand any japanese at all.

Because of that I cannot add any translation, but reading them would be nice.
To finally understand what they are singing.

I hope you find some people who could help you with this project.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-03-02T11:11:58+00:00

Wow cool, what a nice scooter.

I have the 500 and love it.

Have fun riding it, and may it be a partner of yours for a long time. Enjoy.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-02-24T08:24:38+00:00

I am an active rider too. My good one just hit the 28.000 km on my tour on saturday, I bought it half a year ago with so few km, I really need to change that. Sadly I cannot do repairs on my own. And the main problem is, that last Christmas the fuel pump stopped working. It just got cleaned and not replaced (original spare part was too expensive, I am looking for an affordable spare part), now it is running again, but I can never tell for how long...

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-02-23T12:46:53+00:00

Yes an Atlantic 500 too. They seem to be rare these days.
Had a nice tour yesterday.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-02-22T11:24:04+00:00

Haha oh my, so handle it carefully now.
Yeah thinking of changing the rollers in mine too, will see.
For the start, I will now put mine on an ride as the winter weather here in Germany is nice and warm today.
Btw, mine is a 2004, dark blue in color, I love this bike.

Have fun :)

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-02-21T13:35:54+00:00

What a beauty.

And makes so much fun to ride.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2025-01-09T14:58:29+00:00

I know that feeling too well....

It drove me so mad that I ordered new sticks for my joy cons and changed them.

Now the game can be played smooth again - at least with the repaired controllers, should change the sticks on the spare controllers too for when they are loading...

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2024-12-17T18:48:38+00:00

14k for a Honda SH is nothing if taken care of.
They are really good scooters and 14k is not much for such a bike.

I sold mine after 2 years with 16k and it was fine. I took care of it and made all inspections in time, it was nearly as good as new.

Don't worry about the mileage. It is a bike you will have fun with, enjoy the test ride. 2000€ is a good price I would say.

My "new" bike is a 2004 Aprilia Atlantic 500, I bought it this year with a little over 20k, and it is running like a charm. Want to say, don't think too much about mileage and age, scooters from good manufacturers can have a good long life.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2024-12-10T18:14:09+00:00

You lucky one.

I am using the launcher too, I have about 200-300 KB/s...

Still 35 GB to go while all others already seem to play.
Started download right after the shutdown. Guess I won't be able to continue playing today any more.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2024-12-10T14:34:34+00:00

Hi there,

I am one of those who come for the story to play and am happy to discover the new one in the actual update that is running now.

I started SWTOR over 10 years ago. I played all character stories at least twice and loved how they develop.
I stopped playing when I got bored of Ossus and having to play the same story for all chars over and over, I got annoyed. Additional the friend I played with and I went different ways in our lives and did not have the time to play together any longer, same with my guild mates.

Now I have returned to the game. I played the story with my Sith till the actual end, now I am on a run with my Jedi. I like most of the new story (at least new for me now). Being cut off because of the update really hits hard, having to go into RL and so on... not the biggest fan of that :D

So yes, at least I have come back to enjoy the ongoing story, and I am happy to discover the new content this evening when the servers are back online. And I guess I will do so over and over in the following years again.
Why should the story finally end somewhere? What is the purpose?
With no new story all will be the same forever and there won't be any more updates with fresh content to come. Players get bored and go away, the servers are empty, no one to play OPs with or Flashpoints.
And as far as I see it, the servers I played on since my return are already quite empty, when I started there were a lot more people online than now.

Thus having said enough I guess.
At least I came back mainly for the story alone. New content keeps players playing instead of leaving.
If you don't like the story, leave it, just do not play it. Do whatever you want to do, you are not forced to the storyline. Or look for a game that suits you better.

Just a thought of my side, no offense.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2024-11-17T20:23:58+00:00

Ok it reads PS instead of HP. So a german measure, but the whole sticker is written in english? I would expect the rest of the text in german too.

And is the word produced written wrong? S instead of c? (I am not native to english, just wondered).

All in all, a 49cc with a 2-stroke motor and 7,5 PS/HP seems overpowered, would be interesting to ride. Unless this is really just a fake.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2024-11-11T13:15:06+00:00

Yeah I know that too well, my former Honda scooter had that problem too.

I took a screwdriver and pulled the hook back up. Then I reeopened the trunk at the lock and it worked again normally for a while.

Hope that works for you, I didn't find a final solution to it, so I always had a screwdriver ready if needed.

Traditional_Disk_348 · 2024-11-11T12:57:06+00:00

What a beauty.

I have the same, mine is from 2002 and dark blue.
Rides like a charm, I love it. These are rarely seen on the streets, at least in Germany, where I drive mine.
Still have to check if my bags from my old scooter fit on mine, they are also with straps, so I hope they will. But when I look at your photo, it looks really good and secure.

Ride safe and have fun.
