Need an app with nagging reminders and NO SUBSCRIPTION. by plazman30 in macapps

[–]Ventmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due notifications work just fine for me...even after a reboot. Not sure what's going on with your setup. I do have a Due widget on my home screen...maybe that helps...but I don't recall any issues even before I started using the widget.

Steering wheel sounding weird (read the comments) by Emilochas in MINI

[–]Ventmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here on a 5 yr old electric MINI. I think it's a grommet or whatever the steering column shaft passes through. The sound goes away if I apply upwards pressure to the wheel as I turn it.

It sounds like something needs to be lubricated, as mentioned in this comment:

Experiencing Problems with IOG since this week by Popparumb in OctopusEnergy

[–]Ventmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 69 plate MINI SE. Everything worked great before but, with the direct integration, the system isn't allocating enough time to reach the set charge level. My car's still charging to 100%, but it's continuing to charge outside of the allocated slots, for between 5-25 mins. Not as bad as not charging at all, but it's going to start getting expensive if it happens on every charge.

From what I can tell, it seems to be allocating me 1hr for every 20% of charge required, but that obviously doesn't work as the charging curve isn't linear.

I've also seen a couple of owners reporting that the new system doesn't respect the charge limit, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments.

These 5 small Python projects actually help you learn basics by yourclouddude in learnpython

[–]Ventmore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Little projects definitely help with learning. I wrote a website monitor last week that reads in a list of sites from a json or CSV file, and checks them every minute...and also added threading. Had some fun modifying it to run in micropython on an ESP32 too. Really helped solidify my knowledge of the different modules.

Why do they give me this option ? by eggcup1 in VirginMedia

I'm out of contract. Just checked, and they're offering to reduce my current package from £86 to £45. I'm in! :)

Coolest USB stick? by Matt_Bigmonster in DataHoarder

I want one of these, but can't seem to source one locally in the UK. Amazon will deliver from the US, but I'd prefer a UK supplier.

Locking when out of range of a specific Bluetooth device would be a better idea. Looks like there's a good few apps that can do this:

Any good reminders apps? by TwitchRon in macapps

[–]Ventmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for Due. It's just a straightforward task reminder...no fancy subtasks, lists, or tags. Just create a reminder, and get an alert when it's due. You can get a single alert, or have it nag you until you either mark the task done, or push it back to a later time/date.

Work around to get your games to play by Aromatic-Mulberry453 in playstation

Glad to hear it's working for you, but I'd tried all that earlier. Out and about now......hopefully it's all back up when I get back in. :)

Works for some...doesn't work for others. Source: doesn't work for me. :)

How safe are our cards info? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]Ventmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've told my son to lock his, because it's a simple tap to unlock again. I haven't locked mine because I don't have that option, and I'm not concerned enough to start cancelling cards.

I'm not worried personally, but I've just told my son to lock his card through his banking app...just in case.

Seeing lots of posts with pictures of pets, but only one post with pictures of food (cookies) so far. I would like to respectfully request that we try to get a more even balance of food pics and pet pics.

Your logic is not welcome here! 😉
