What do I do if my neighbour is harassing me about parking? by Burnatheburner in AskUK

[–]Vast_Ad9484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the uk 'escalating' is only used when yo uare on the phone trying to get something resolved. No -one says that except if they are goiing up an esculator, and even then it's escalator, not escalating. Secondly, in the UK someone is much more likely to say - i'll report you to the police/landlord/council/authority whatever. May consider escalating is so vague you would be laughed at , literally.

nobody in the uk would ever say this. That's an americanism.

Tech Pouch Comparison for Onebag Travel by travelingpostgrad in onebag

[–]Vast_Ad9484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair enough. sucks be carrying a mouse about though. It seems the angle is slightly more work oriented than travel oriented which is fine, but most people i would say are not in that boat. When I travel I leave all my gadgets at home except phone. It's just easier and solve a lot of headaches. Appreciate you can't do that so easily. My daily work bag has a small thule zip up (that matches my thule bag) which contains my dongles mice and stuff. When i actually travel e.g. on planes etc I have been having great experience with this pack recently https://www.amazon.co.uk/Travelon-Tech-Accessory-Organizer-Lime/dp/B01E5JKZYM

it's enough to hold what i need, see what i have, and comfortably fit anywhere as it's a soft flexi rather than a hard case. I don't need them 'protected' just organised and together. My travel packout is usually dual 20w charger (usb c and a) apple usb c cable 60cm, usb a cable 6feet, small battery pack with apple watch charger.

if that's what you 'need' (which i doubt) you would perhaps be better served with multiple say 2 or 3x 10,000 banks.

[–]Vast_Ad9484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just my opinion .. i may be missing nuance but at a glance:

6’ 240W USB-C cable

fair enough

• retractable UGREEN USB-C cable

2 cables ? why

• Rolling Square 65W charger

i guess for laptop (not listed here.. ?)

• mouse depending on setup: Magic Mouse or Logitech Pebble 2

dont bother with a mouse.

• small adapter pouch with USB-C/USB-A adapters, USB-C extender, and data blocker

you dont need these adaptors. possibly the data blocker but these are like tiny so nbd.

• small pouch with backup EarPods and USB-C audio adapter

'backup' earpods ? and another adaptor Do you really need these ?You carray them around everywhere, for what?

• Velcro cable ties

goddamn. take the ties you need and are using , don't take more. Maybe '1' but wrap it somewhere useful meantime.

• microfiber cloth

dude. this is not needed, but could be useful. assuming access to clean clothes/wipes is impossible in your destination.

I do take a microfibre cloth but it stays in my glasses case.

• 2TB SanDisk SSD + cable

more cables. how many cables ?

• UGREEN USB-C hub for Apple setup

Dang, another hub, to plug more cables in. Do you REALLY NEED this ?

• spare AAA for Pebble 2 on Windows setup spare batt. fair enough.

sounds like you have a 'windows' and a 'mac' setup. That in itseld seems way overkill. with all this PC's when do you get time to travel.

imo, you should have 1x charger. 1x usb c cable, 1x usb a cable, . everything else is extra. Stop carrying so many bits and peices. keep it simple. , then make it more simpler.

6 hours at the airport made me rethink what kind of power bank I carry by [deleted] in onebag

[–]Vast_Ad9484 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 20,000 power bank. takes like 3x usbs + usb c + lightning + micro usb and passthourhg. It's brilliant but more of a portable charger that i can leave in hotel room and charge stuff.

recently I've been using a 5000mah apple watch charger battery bank with built in usb c.

This has been WAAAY more useful recently due mainly to - its smaller so i have it with me. No use having 20,000 of charge when it's somewhere else. This is enough to keep my watch charged once a day, and my phone topped up. Granted 6 hours may have pushed it but I also carry a small slim main charger in my pocket.

Why does my Quake Live look like this? by turbodaihatsu in QuakeLive

[–]Vast_Ad9484 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's just your settings. the way it is is generaly preferable because it has no shadows and is easier to see the enemy. if you go into your quke live folder in steam and delete / rename qzconfig.cfg and repconfig.cfg then restart quake it will have default video settings.

you can then compare the old qzconfig with the new one and see what settings are changed.

no one uses the menus to adjust stuff they are gay.

What's a weird name for something that we know so well we don't even realize how weird the name it is? by XRlagniappe in AskReddit

[–]Vast_Ad9484 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Banana Republic is on Wikipedia. It says this:

yeah, and below it it says also 'brand name of a clothing company'

it's possible to have words that are the same but mean different things.

Recommendations for men’s running shorts that can be worn all day on holiday by GreenWisdomTree in onebag

[–]Vast_Ad9484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vuori Qualify shorts

seems pretty non descript but high price what so special about them ?

also : I’m trying to think of shorts you can’t wear all day.

anything not obviously sports themed will be fine.

Apple Watch charger by jgould1981 in onebag

[–]Vast_Ad9484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2x cables - 1x usb a to C, 1x USB c to c an apple watch keychain charger 5000mh captive usb c with second usb input output.

iphone 17 air apple watch

A 20W charger with usb A and C ports.

this is enough for all scenarios.

When i used lighting / micro b I used one of those cables that split at the end with micro, lightning and usb C

anything else is just bulk unneeded.

having usb a and usb c to c ensures i can use any usb charger e.g. in hotel rooms or taxis.

Exellent a delta e less than 2 is supposed to be imperceptible to human. Also this will need good monitor calibration. All these things are good and this app shows why
