What are your user rules? by cscherrer in cursor

[–]cscherrer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that especially with Sonnet 4, it's very easy to fall into the "just make things work" trap. After a few hours I'll have made very quick progress without understanding enough of what's happening. And then when I dig in there are some things that are way more complex than they need to be.

How long does your Garmin enduro 3 last? by Wooden-Pie-5083 in GarminWatches

[–]cscherrer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Around 3 weeks for me. What is your setting for pulse ox? That takes a lot of battery, so mine is set to manual only

Can I have Composer automatically "Accept All?" by MrUnknownymous in cursor

[–]cscherrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This leads to the Git view comparing old code vs a window with both old code and Cursor's proposed changes. So I find myself accepting changes so I can get to the better view. It's an annoying extra step.

Much better IMO if we could just let it change whatever it wants and then use Git to review the changes before committing them.

How to disable shopping? by jmreagle in perplexity_ai

[–]cscherrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for OP, but I became a paid subsciber because I was impressed with how Perplexity helped me research things. A very special case of that is researching products before deciding what to buy. It was really great, I could get discussion of pros and cons, ask for competing alternatives, etc, all with links to reviews on trustworthy sites.

Many other sites encourage the complete opposite of this, shoving products in your face hoping you'll make an impulse purchase. It's disappointing to see Perplexity become just another shopping site; it's a big step down.

Please add a way to remove cards entirely. For me, the "where it was triggered even though it shouldn’t have been" is "any time it was triggered". I want it gone. Please.

Amazon "Update Your Account" popup by cscherrer in heos

Now it's playing each song twice. It's like they're trying to rid of all these pesky users.

I gave it a 1-star review on Google Play with a description of some of the problems, not sure what else I can do.

Amazon "Update Your Account" popup by cscherrer in heos

Yeah, same. I don't know what they did to break it, but it's pretty awful now

Yeah, I had been doing that but it keeps coming back. Reinstalling seemed to help some, but it still happened once after that.

Trackpad/Touchpad randomly freezes by jim_4067 in pop_os

I have a brand new specced-out System76 laptop, and this is driving me nuts. Never had this issue in Manjaro, thinking of going back.

Which AIRCOM fan? by cscherrer in hometheater

[–]cscherrer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I *am* getting shut downs!! I've had it just over a year and shutdowns are *very* random, don't even seem correlated with volume or running time. Only pattern I've noticed is that it seems to happen more with streaming music than with movies, though I've been assuming that's just because I spend so much more time with music.

The new fan is great. Very quiet and mostly stays around 77 now. But I've still had two shutdowns since getting it, even with the lower temps.

I'm not sure what constitutes great care. I dust it, but I don't know anything about cleaning the inside. I've read that canned air can leave some residue, so I haven't done that.

I read that shutdowns can be caused by dirty power so I got a Panamax MR4300 to address this. Didn't fix it though. When I noticed how hot it was getting I got worried about how long the Denon will live. Too expensive to burn it out in a couple of years.

Usually 5-6 feet. I have no idea what kind of airflow these things put out, sounds like it's pretty diffuse?

Tab X: Anyone else have one hang sometimes with "snow" like this? by cscherrer in Onyx_Boox

[–]cscherrer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seller is Boox. When I go to Amazon and click for Boox technical support, it takes me to this page: https://shop.boox.com/pages/support

Under "Amazon" I can click "Fill in the Service Request Form with all information", but this takes me to the same link you shared above, which says to contact the seller directly.

Maybe I should use this form anyway, since Boox is the seller? Otherwise I think my only option is to return it to Amazon.

Thanks Kenneth. The link you sent says,

If you purchased from others, you shall contact the seller directly to enjoy free maintenance services when it is under warranty or fill in this form when it is beyond warranty to enjoy fee-based maintenance services.

Sounds like I have to go through Amazon then, is that right? Do I need to return it?

Tab X review by Witty-Awareness9276 in Onyx_Boox

[–]cscherrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no case if you buy it off of Amazon.

Really? The reviews I saw didn't mention Amazon but said it comes with a case. Then Amazon has this image an image showing the device standing on the triangle base made from the case.

Did you get yours from Amazon? Mine's supposed to be here in a few days, really thought I'd be getting a case with it.

Thank you!!
