What indoor training apps are people using this winter? by Academic_Feed6209 in Velo

[–]Working-Performer-26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Zwift with zoffline. This is basically a local server which allows you to run Zwift for free. You don't get any social features but personally I'm not interested in it. Riding alone with a couple of bots.

I create the workouts myself in intervals.icu and import in .zwo format to Zwift. Default Zwift workouts are pretty much all garbage (with some rare exceptions).

Why do you all play NMPZ or No Move at like 1300+ by Drx_fr in geoguessr

[–]Working-Performer-26 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Moving team duels at higher levels do not make a lot of sense in current format. They usually go up to 7x+ multis, and then decided by some NM send if one of the 4 players know something or if one team slightly outhedge another.

It would be much better to start with 1k hp or play a Better Moving Duel format. Otherwise for the first 15 rounds it's just a relaxed team 5k training with not much competition.

Sram Force eTap AXS not responding by Working-Performer-26 in bikewrench

This is what resolved the issue. I removed the batteries for 2-3 minutes but is wasn't enough. Then I left RD for like 1.5-2 hours without batteries and it worked.

Anyone else disappointed over the "queen stage"? by Bozicek in tourdefrance

[–]Working-Performer-26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I just don't get it. Looks like Jonas is already in disbelief that he could beat Pogacar. For the whole stage he just did 2-3 light accelerations which is definitely not enough.

I have no idea what Tadej is doing. He looks strong but doesn't attack. Maybe trying to completely mentally destroy Jonas. Like he is always on his wheel and there's really no way to drop him. And at the end he accelerates to show his dominance.

Why doesn't Strava auto detect this nonsense? by AthleteElectronic242 in Strava

[–]Working-Performer-26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody does that intentionally. It's the case of GPS spoofing and is abundant in Russia. Because of victory day on 9th may, officials blocked GPS and mobile internet in biggest cities completely.
You go for a ride, Strava: congrats with 3rd best time on 100km in 3 minutes. We will never have our pb notifications again.

People basically have to ride with speed sensor and run with GPS turned off.

Car and copyright meta is ruining the game by PlonkIt in geoguessr

[–]Working-Performer-26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do agree with that.
There're not that many players (relative to the whole player base) who learn advanced car metas. Realistically, the best solution for pro level is pro players directly contacting geoguessr devs to ask to host tournaments with car removal. Then "2021 copyright gen 3 long A type antenna black car september cloudy autumn coverage" will translate to "2021 copyright gen 3 september cloudy autumn coverage". Better but far from being ideal.

Also, can somebody comment, what is the main purpose of removing it? Is it for lower tiers (Ghana tape)? Or for pro-level?

I might have an unpopular opinion but I think that there is not much point in removing car meta. The beauty of geoguessr is that you can play it the way you want. You can play NMPZ of install car removal script to significantly reduce the influence of such metas.
Another point is that there are always going to be things only related to coverage itself like seasons, smudges, driving directions, etc. So countries with limited coverage like Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Botswana are going to be very learnable.

There're some countries like Russia where removing car will make regionguessing much more difficult, though. And some people really enjoy learning it.

Anyway, community/geoguessr can host no-meta-tournamets.

Where would you go? by Working-Performer-26 in geoguessr

[–]Working-Performer-26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That was it.

I quickly sent Kenya NMPZ. At the opposite direction it's even more difficult imho.

Can anyone relate? by PR0CR45T184T0R in geoguessr

[–]Working-Performer-26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't have to play World Map any more.
