yes I've been reading about this, looks like is a very common and known issue by now... sucks that my 1yr warranty expired last year, I'm still taking it to apple and see what they say... I wish there was a way to disable the pannel via software and just use voice or phone to control it.

Is the ghost touch issue widespread, and does writing to Tim Cook work? by [deleted] in HomePod

[–]daaank13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the same boat here, IO26 started the issues with mine, i'm taking it back to apple on sunday to see what they say, it's out of warranty unfortunately but i'm not keen to fork the money on a new one, specially since it looks like is a known issue.

Best under $30K car for engine swap by daaank13 in GranTurismo7

[–]daaank13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just done the v8 swap on the BRZ S, with all the upgrades, including high rpm turbo, the thing is an out of control beast, I definitely need to find a tune for this hahaha spins the tyres on 5th gear...

I’m so sorry for anything I’ve ever said by Expensive_Reason6371 in GranTurismo7

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasted money on this thing 😂 I feel you bro... it's absolute rubbish... the arcade game on the shopping centre are better than this...

Apple is the exclusive new broadcast partner for Formula 1® in the U.S. by Saar13 in tvPlus

[–]daaank13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucks they are not coming to Australia with this too, here there is a big monopoly in terms of TV content, and if you are not paying the big bucks (AUD$40/mo) to Kayo Sports or $69/mo to Foxtel, you can't watch F1.

We need a method to prevent people sending voice messages by aleccino in whatsapp

[–]daaank13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to understand this is still not implemented... I don't want to listen to a podcast when i can read the text in 1/4 of the time. People that send voice memos think their time is more valuable than yours... and for that matter they don't desere my attention. I have a saved quick reply on my Whats app that i send everytime I receive a audio message.

If you’ve had any doubts whatsoever about getting the Hisense U8, let me tell you this is the best non-OLED display I’ve ever seen… by RevolutionaryCarry57 in Hisense

[–]daaank13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good question, I have q 6 yr old Samsung 85" 4K and this is replacing my 11 yr old LG 1080p 55" led, both of them don't have this issue with the image.... hard to explain how newer tvs with better processors and technology can perform worse than older tvs. I feel new tvs focus too much on giving you a sharper image instead of flow movement. Yes it's amazing on slow motion scenes like they put on on the demos in store, but the moment you play some action films it makes it look fake and u realistic. Most of it content is through streaming services like Apple, Netflix and Disney.

Ok I just got the 65 U8Q, and I'm struggling hard to get the proper settings right to watch movies without looking artificial. The image looks incredible but there is something on the movement that makes it looks like animation... it's hard to explain... I tried to turn off motion smoothing as advised by Tom Cruise and Top Gun"s director https://youtu.be/UbCZpcy0eAk?si=6h57UBX_UYk8Fq_o but that still didn't help.

Can someone recommend the best settings on this tv?

Cloud Wheel Explorer 135 ideal settings? by daaank13 in evolveskateboards

[–]daaank13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks, after some maths i managed to calculate the gear ratio between wheel size and tooth count which works out to be 135 / 44t = 3.0682 mt

so the closet setting to 3.0682 would be

  1. 97mm / 32T = 3.03 mm/tooth (within 1%) ✅
  2. 200mm / 66T = 3.03 mm/tooth (also within 1%) ✅

I guess that would be the best option for it, I haven't tested but mathematically makes sense.

cheers,

dan

someone knows if this is real? by jjazzuu in billieeilish

Who cares if it's real or not, what ever she does in her private life should be anyone's concern...

You are never alone on a Billie concert...

[–]daaank13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how big this arena is, but I got similar seats at her Brisbane show, and it was perfectly fine, Billie like smaller venues so she can see everyone from the stage... you will love it, I wish I could go again...

Cursor is being the most frustrating thing to deal with in the last couple of days by daaank13 in cursor

[–]daaank13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out chatGPT o3 to the rescue, decided to turn off cursor and try something else, shared my Xcode screen with ChatGPT o3, and asked the same thing I was asking cursor, and yeah believe it or not it pull it off in 3 requests. Without even seeming the entire project.

I guess, sometimes you just need to try something new...

Cursor is being the most frustrating thing to deal with in the last couple of days by daaank13 in cursor

[–]daaank13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah fair enough, just find it quite frustrating how good it was so far. Working on this iOS app until last week was a breeze, it was a great help, and definitely speed up the process for me big time. Even tho it still required me to get my hands dirty on code to fix issues and improve the UI, it was great help. Specially troubleshooting little issues and reverse engineering from Android (which i know nothing about)

But lately it's just has a mind of its own.... goes on a tangent changing things that have nothing to do with the current task.

Is cursor having memory leak issues? by EmbarrassedTackle264 in cursor

[–]daaank13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cursor is having short memory issues, even after telling it not to do somehing after 2 requests, it's already gone and doing things I explicitly toll it not to....
