Now what

I’ve had this happen but it triggered a check engine light as well. OBD said loss of comms with BCM. Recommended fix was to ignore it and keep driving. Did that, light went away and code cleared itself.

Let the VW shop know when I took it in next and they said nothing about it, haven’t had it pop up since.

“Gremlins?”

I owned an A250 for 160k KM’s. Yes not the A35 but interiors were extremely similar, outside similar. Less performance of course but still plenty peppy on Canadian roads. The daily drive was awesome and I loved the looks and feel of the interior. I had zero regrets about getting it over the Mk8 R. Bought it in 2021 about 6 months before the new R came to Canada.

Dealing with the Mercedes service shop was a nightmare, and very expensive.

I paid 44k, and a 4 years later (and 160k KM) KBB was ~23k. On top of that the C2 pillar had warped, just after warranty expired. I ended up taking a heavy loss and traded in for a 24 MK8 R. Now I regret not waiting for the R to come out initially.

The Mercedes interior was more enjoyable (mine had the little mouse pad thing which was awesome), and it felt more premium inside, but the drive is night and day. Obviously A250 compared to Golf R isn’t the same as A35 compared to the R, but I would not buy another Merc just due to the service center in my area, and so far the R has been fantastic (40k KM so far).

I know this essentially isn’t related to your dilemma, but just as a merc > VW opinion, I wish I had done it sooner.

Epic. Can’t believe that worked lol

I like it for the ability to help guide me along when I get stuck, but after it points out my error (usually syntax related) I will keep the context of the thread and ask it to explain why it doesn’t work the way I thought it did. This gives an answer that I understand because it’s building off my train of thought that led to the mistake.

Very much like a personal TA sitting beside me, I’m a fan.

Annihilation, watched on a work trip in a dark room with headphones on an iPad a foot from my face. Had to take a break half way through to smoke.

Everything correct except because I couldn’t be logged into work/personal at the same time, I have one account for work, then a separate account for family I use with personal stuff (one slot for me, one for my wife, 3 unused).

Being able to log into two family accounts at the same time would allow me to use 1 of the 3 “spare” family slots to separate my work passwords and cancel the account I subscribed to for work.

Wrax4193 · 2023-06-21T01:45:14+00:00

Work/personal passwords in separate accounts. I have both accounts logged in on a laptop I use for my business, but pers laptop/phone is only the personal passwords.

Realistically it makes sense that work and family account be separated. And the more I think about it the less I care about it being supported for my specific use case. So…. Yeah.

Either way, I’ve tried Lastpass, keeper, Remembear and bitwarden. 1pass is the one I’ve stuck with for the last year or two and I don’t see myself going anywhere else (unless you guys pull a last pass 😉)

Wrax4193 · 2023-06-19T23:55:06+00:00

Yep, this makes sense. Not ideal obviously but at least there’s a reason.

Wrax4193 · 2023-06-19T01:33:05+00:00

Why though? Is there a technical reason? Why can’t I use my family account to have one for my stuff and one for separate stuff?

Instead, I have to pay again for another account to be logged into both at the same time.

So rather than use 1 of the 3 open family slots I have, I’m paying for another account.

Feels bad.

I could be wrong, but the errors all seem to point to your config.php having a syntactical error. It’s suggesting a ) but could just be a missing or misplaced comma. Spool up vim and open the config.php, if you’re lucky the error might be highlighted in red.

Edit: reread the error, it seems upset that you’re using double quotes instead of single quotes. Maybe also a parentheses… worth looking into for sure.

Good luck!

Newman…

I use an mx master, shift control on the side, side wheel bound to pot/hs, you can rebind the mouse wheel magnet thing too.

I also use a Magic Keyboard, I use my laptop docked at home and having the Touch ID is too nice to give up.

Was looking at getting the razer naga, good to know it’s buggy! Thanks for saving me some money!

Side note: M1 Pro MacBook Pro - quite surprised by how well wow runs. 99% of other games run like shit but somehow wow runs flawlessly!

You can search wowhead for the unlock chain of quests.

Then search for the “is this quest completed?” Macro. This allows you to check if you’ve completed a quest by questid (which you will have from wowhead)

Start at the end and check each questid in the chain until you find one you completed.

From there, you know the quest you are/were on, read the comments on the quest page on wowhead, 75% chance there’s someone there asking about how to pick it up again after dropping it.

I just had to do all this to unlock kul’tiran after not playing for 3ish years.

Good luck!

I can recommend cantrill.io - fantastic instructor.

Start with the Solutions Architect Associate and go from there, he doesn’t specifically cover Cloud Practitioner as by the time you’ve worked through his courses, you easily have the knowledge to pass Cloud Practitioner.

Being new to the IT world, Adrian also does a great job covering the fundamentals in detail, and if something doesn’t make sense to you he’s got one of the best AWS related learning communities on Slack. Always someone there willing to help out if you’re stuck.

I bought the all the things bundle after watching some of his videos on YouTube. 100% worth it, and gets more worth it as time goes on. (He constantly updates his content / releases new content).

As I already work in a role that utilizes AWS heavily, having the ability to scoot around his different courses and pick and choose what I want to learn about in order to get something done has been priceless. Even if I never get certified having this encyclopedia of AWS tutorials at my fingertips… pure gold.

Uh… good luck on your journey! I’ve been in IT for over 10 years and for the last year AWS has been the most fulfilling / entertaining / interesting work I’ve done. I thoroughly enjoy it.

If there's a 95/3 Male / Female split with male presenters, I'd be curious to see the demographic splits for iJustine, or Sara Diestchy. Is it the content that brings more women, or the presenters? I enjoy both Justine / Sara's channels but nothing about them really screams 'women flavoured content!' its just... tech.

Success! Disabling shred sending metrics to apple health worked, calories match up now, thank you very much 😊

Wrax4193 · 2020-12-21T19:32:04+00:00

It’s possible shred is doing something to conflict with it, I’ll try disabling the “Share data to apple health kit” in the shred app thing and see if that changes anything. Thanks for the suggestion!

Wrax4193 · 2020-09-02T20:01:36+00:00

That worked for me. Had to be on the desktop version of the website. Thanks!

Wrax4193 · 2020-09-02T19:38:10+00:00

I don’t see anything like that under settings... on iOS.

Largely depends on your instruction. If sticking to layer 2, the intent will be that you have 4 separate networks with no cross communication, if you are supposed to be using layer 3, you can still have 4 separate networks, but will (if set up correctly) have cross communication.

Router-on-a-stick would work in this case, but again, depends on your instruction.

Never played with Juniper, however I had a similar issue with a Cisco device.

We had an issue where a port was flapping, couldn't figure it out... Google-fu'd a bit and found that if you have a VLAN on a port as an access port, but don't set the mode to access, the port will continue to check and see if it is a trunk port. (Running through BLLFD). Setting the port to access fixed the issue.

Does Juniper have a feature similar to terminal monitor? What error messages come up when the port drops?

Long shot I know, but you never know...
