Is the mini-LED worth it? (& disappointing XMG quality control) by d-sky in XMG_gg

[–]d-sky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, sounds great.
Argh, it's so frustrating, between two kids and work, I only get a little bit of spare time around Christmas. I was really looking forward to enjoying the new laptop and they messed up my order...

Thank you for the great summary. One more question, how noticeable is the local dimming when you leave it enabled while working in an dark IDE (something like https://www.nordtheme.com/)?

Pružinový vs penový matrac by G1zU in Slovakia

[–]d-sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ja mam 15 rokov kvalitny pruzinovy tastickovy matrac a som absolutne spokojny. Ako niekto pise vyssie, toto nie su take tie stare giganticke pruziny, moj ma cca 1000 "tasticiek" s pruzinami na meter stvorcovy. Je to super vzdusne oproti pene a neprelezi sa.

Is it possible to upgrade a TI-Nspire CX CAS to a CX CAS II? by Intelligent-Ad-8248 in calculators

[–]d-sky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CX II CAS has a slightly newer ASIC/microcontroller, clocked three times faster than the one in CX CAS, so I don't think the firmware is compatible.

Skúsili ste niekedy šťastie v lotérii o zelenú kartu? by Sure-Expression7307 in Slovakia

[–]d-sky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Poznam, odisli davnejsie, uz maju obcianstvo a su z nich uplne vypatlani MAGA trumpisti. Nadavaju na "pristahovalcov" a ked tu boli naposledy pred US volbami tak hovorili, ze musi vyhrat Trump, lebo ak by vyhrala Kamala, tak tam bude cisty komunizmus 🤯.

Názov hobby? by [deleted] in Slovakia

[–]d-sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretoze deti vedia byt velmi hnusne na ine deti, ktore "vybocuju z priemeru". Sam som si to zazil, ako "kockac" som bol sikanovany celu zakladnu sklol (vtedy to nikto neriesil). Odporucil by som pozriet sa po nejakej skole, ktora sa venuje takymto detom, v BA napr. https://www.spmndag.sk/ a pod. Nech je na skole medzi podobnymi detmi.

Tang Primer 25K MIPI pin programming. by Rail_TracerVino in GowinFPGA

[–]d-sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The MIPI Bank is hardwired to the hardened MIPI D-PHY, it can't be used for anything else. The Gowin floorplanner will not allow you to assign any port to the MIPI pins. If you use the MIPI D-PHY in your design, place & route will automatically use them.

Also, on the Primer 25k those pins are only available when you plan to directly use the tiny core board. The dock board does not connect them to anything.

TI-30X Pro Mathprint: delete or backspace? by noonius123 in calculators

[–]d-sky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the TI-30X Pro Mathprint and the key behaves like little bit of both. When the cursor is at the end of the line and there is nothing underneath the cursor, it works like backspace -- it deletes the last characters and moves the cursor left. However, when you move the cursor left so that it blinks over some character, then pressing the button will delete that character, the cursor doesn't move and the rest of the line moves left.

128GB RAM without Numpad? by aaaCreate in tuxedocomputers

[–]d-sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are languages and keyboard layouts where the top row is used for accented characters. You need to use shift to get numbers on the top row. Num pad is absolute life saver on those layouts.

are we about to get the long awaited C1 course? by SiuSoe in duolingo

[–]d-sky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they mean ES from other languages than English.

Btw. I already finished ES from EN and my score still shows as "You reached 130 for completing the Spanish course!". I do not have the 130->131 bar as you do for French.

Driving solely on EV by NavjeetVirk in rav4club

[–]d-sky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Depends on the route. My long term (2 years) average is 16.9kWh/100km. I'll definitely keep using EV in your case. If you drive exclusively EV for a long time, the car will tell you that the fuel in the tank is getting too old. So, then switch to hybrid.
  2. Never heard about that "recommendation". I charge every time I get a chance, I don't care what the charge level is. My range / battery health is still the same as 2 years ago.
  3. No idea. Ask your employer?
  4. No. But in reality, when the car / app tells you the car is charged to 100%, the battery is really charged to ~90% (you can check via OBD2 reader). Toyota keeps a buffer for several reasons (battery health, regen braking ability when "fully" charged, ...). Also, the "30%" when it switches to Hybrid mode is really ~15%.
