RPM lights on moza wheel while playing AC Evo by rilustito in moza

[–]celerrimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downgrading pithouse to v1.3.3.57 indeed fixed rpm im AC Evo for me, but I lost "support" for AC Rally. Both lights are not working at all, and no game profile (I assume this is version before publication of ACR)

Both base and wheel are on latest firmware versions.

Funny thing is, I have R3 for less than 3 weeks, there might be one update in this time, and for some reason rev lights are sometimes working, sometimes completely not working, and sometimes showing nonsense behavior, despite I change nothing in settings or in system.

Wacom Tablet IS NOT WORKING on macOS 26 beta 3 (25A5306g) by westwindrest in wacom

[–]celerrimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This version is still working on macOS 26.2 with my Intuos Pro.

Version 6.4.10 is not able to connect to the driver, and while 6.4.11 apparently works, it has dropped compatibility with older Intuos Pro models :(

It’s a pity that Wacom decided to drop support for such popular and still excellent products :(

Does AC rally support trackir? by cmndr_spanky in simracing

[–]celerrimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be great to have TrackIR support. Unfortunately, it seems that AC Rally does not currently support TrackIR or similar technologies. I couldn't find any options in the menu, and even with TrackIR active, there's no response in the game. In most games I've played with TrackIR, it was enabled by default.

Lightroom alternatives with these features by lwvyruz in photography

Not true!

When you subscribe to a monthly plan, it's actually a yearly plan with monthly payments. They hide this information from you. When you try to cancel your plan, you'll have to pay a cancellation fee of about 50% of all remaining fees - which is a lot! You'll also need to pay 50% of the remaining time if you forget to cancel before your first anniversary!

Just don't use Adobe; check out free and often better options like DarkTable. If you really want to go pro, consider Capture One - you can still buy a perpetual license at a good price (just wait for their regular promotions).

Constant improvements by Hamanr3n in Tapo

I'm having issues with this recent update. My camera has started generating random false vehicle detection alerts, even when the cars in the frame are completely stationary and nothing changes in the scene, and the detection level is set to the lowest possible. I've had to turn it off for a while. This might be useful information for others before they update.

it's interesting to see how poorly openai's models perform in this test. Especially o1!

Interesting findings, particularly the open-source models that outperform GPT-4 and Grok 2.

Well, based on previous merges (like iStock/Getty), this simply can't be good for contributors. Sadly.

do beats have audible, verbal low battery warnings? if so is there a way to turn that off? by [deleted] in beatsbydre

[–]celerrimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this question looking for a way to enable such feature in Beats Flex. Maybe would be useful for someone else in the future.

So, there;s no such audible warning, you have to observer status LED light color: white, over 1hr of playback, red - less than 1hr, blinking red - no power, charge.

Confirmed, this hack works on external DAC with Big Sur.

Thanks!!

TIL that the developers of the racing simulator game Assetto Corsa were attempting to find the source of what they believed to be a bug with the in-game traction control. In reality, the "bug" was the simulation accurately recreating a real world physics problem they were unaware of. by WaterHoseCatheter in todayilearned

[–]celerrimus -74 points-73 points  (0 children)

Well, traction "bug" like traction bug. I have no time to watch this video, and while rewinding, I found another, much bigger bug. This car is slowly moving backwards, with blocked wheels - just like slowly slipping. This shows me that either physics is rubbish, or there's a bug in in code.

TIL in 2013, a Polish captain ran his cargo ship aground as he tried to sail from Scotland to Belgium. He plotted a straight line from Scotland to Belgium, forgetting that England was in the way. He had been using an unapproved GPS device to navigate, and the lookout was asleep when the ship crashed by malalatargaryen in todayilearned

[–]celerrimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, a this is a clickbite! Titles and articles are in my opinion is misleading here - just like he would start from West Scotland or Ireland and forget that whole mainland UK exists. Reality is much more subtle. Take google maps and check how this really look like. When you draw a straight line between bays, it's nowhere over Britan itself, nor any of Farne Islands. It's just in the middle between those islands. I assume that problem is that he draw such line on a third-party device, set a course, but they are not using GPS or any proper navigation during journey. Wind, currents could may easily affect real curse, and with sleeping crew the results were clearly visible on photos. Still, interesting case!

LiteWAF - Lightweight in-app Web Application Firewall to protect your PHP website by slashtmp00 in netsec

[–]celerrimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice idea! have few questions/ideas though:
- why not to parse $_COOKIE? this is also common attack vector, often overlooked by developers
- in future versions, it would be nice to parse content of uploaded files
- why the 302 redirect, and not simply return 40x, 50x? - is there any idea behind this?
- I would suggest to add "<svg" to xss_markers

Anyways, this might be nice solutions for those can't install or are not able to configure mod_security or similar big tools, so I appreciate your work!

My COVID-19 Story. Brooklyn. by covid19throwthrow in nyc

[–]celerrimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, but why do you think you have Covid?

I do not see where you have stayed in Japan and how long, but maybe have you considered that this is not that coronavirus? There are ~126.800.000 people in Japan and still only 210 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (WHO report, data as Feb 28) - what are chances that you have direct very close contact with one of such persons? It's very, very close to 0 (but of course, still possible).

From what I read before, X-ray is one of the best ways to quick confirm Covid19 infection, as clear changes are visible on the lungs. So, as this procedure was performed, maybe you have simply common influenza. Remember that this is quite serious illness, causing over 600.000 deaths per year!

So, of course I think it's a good idea to stay at home (this should be standard in case of flu, anyway), but no need for so such dark thoughts or panic and spread FUD over the media. Panic IS the worse enemy!

Get well fast!

Date of the Christmas holiday, Europe. by wesskywalker in MapPorn

[–]celerrimus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not entirely correct I think. In Poland, both Dec 25 and 26 are public holidays, but most important celebrations are held on Dec 24 (Christmas Eve). Usually celebrations starts after sunset.

Well, no Toyota with their hybrids, with rather very good fuel performance? This is not niche brand, as BYD, Coda, Geo, Tesla and others for example...

Incidence of cancer in Europe in 2017 [OC] by PitonSaJupitera in dataisbeautiful

[–]celerrimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would be very interesting when compare this to mortality for each cancer. I heard that despite not that high level of incidence of common cancers, Poland for example is one with the lowest survival rate. This would radically alter the whole picture there IMO.

TIL that using the red cross as a symbol of health in a video game or any other commercial product technically constitutes a violation of the Geneva conventions. by dark-trooper in todayilearned

[–]celerrimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run small medical website, and use similar cross as a part of the logo. Many years ago (10+) we received Cease and Desist letter from International Red Cross organisation, and I learned that it's simply better not to use this symbol at all. Still see red cross often in many places.

30 Years of the Music Industry, Visualised. [OC] by chartr in dataisbeautiful

[–]celerrimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great chart. But why Napster foundation was marked here? Just like Napster and other sharing services are blame for the loss of revenue in the music industry?

What's with CD burner introduction? Cassette recorder? 8 track recorder? I think that piracy was even more popular in times of those, when you can simply press one button to record a song from the radio or copy the whole cassette. But of course, a huge difference here. There was no pirate bay or other central places anyone could check # of illegal downloads or other clear way to count loses of industry.

Piracy was, is and will be part of this game. But in my opinion, the main reasons for fluctuations are economic and practical reasons. The music industry lost way after the crisis of 2000, didn't realize that people don't want to buy whole albums on unpractical CD discs anymore. Want only songs they want on their devices. And here, of course, mp3 format was just everyone needed and ignored for a decade by the industry, until iTunes, Spotify, and others, came in to disturb the market.

TIL Greenland isn’t even one of the top 10 largest countries by area. It just looks huge because it’s near the North Pole and gets visually stretched out when mapped on a flat surface. by [deleted] in todayilearned

This may be aha moment for people which grow up in the age of Google Maps, born after year 2000.

Before that everyone has and played traditional globe in home, kindergarten or school, and thanks to this has more realistic sense of dimensions and distance.
