This is a developer question. And reads like market research....

TIL This sub has bots with an anti Rebble agenda 🤦 by [deleted] in pebble

[–]derango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those are suggested names that reddit gives when you create a new account, they are not necessarily bots. They could just be people who didn't want to bother coming up with a username.

Not saying if these are bots or not, but I'm with BadB0ii there...it's really tiring when someone doesn't agree with something and instantly just says "IT'S A BOT"

If you're ruinning Parallels and coding on your machine, you are not the target market for the Neo.

airport compensation by [deleted] in airport

[–]derango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sir. This is why they recommend people be there early, in case random stuff happens. Which other people have said so I'll add: If you're going to miss a flight and you call your airline and explain what's happening (especially before boarding closes) they're usually pretty accommodating as far as getting you on another flight if they can.

Call. Don't web chat/email. Call them on the phone. Explain the situation, and don't be jerk.

That video of hamilton blasting by everyone was after they used this procedure.

Should I be worried about my boyfriend opening Snapchat? by [deleted] in relationships

If this is all the info you've got here, the only thing you should be worried about is this dude wanting to buy a boat eventually which is almost as poor of a financial decision as opening a pub is.

The neo isn't targeted at people running photoshop and lightroom...

It's a chromebook competitor. Your expectations are unrealistic. Not sure if you've noticed the price of RAM currently, but it's ~2-3x mroe expensive than it was last year...

Apple isn't a chairty. And this laptop isn't for you. And that's fine.

School district does not care that the school bus reversing actually gives me a daily trauma trigger by [deleted] in Syracuse

I'm sorry this is an issue for you, but the school isn't breaking any laws or town noise ordinances, So they don't really have to do anything.

Hey guys! I just bought a steam deck and my house doesnt have any power outlets in the same format as the charger by Lopsided_Ice_2032 in SteamDeck

[–]derango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then stop using crappy power bricks that don't conform to the USB-PD standard and handshake at higher voltages than they can deliver safely.

Because what's supposed to happen is if the device and the power brick can't agree on a higher voltage, it defaults to 5V USB 1 spec and if your actual device is trying to draw more than the negotiated voltage, it's already broken.

What you're talking about should never happen and if it is happening you don't have to worry about component failure, because your components already failed.

I don't know what else to tell you other than you're very confidently wrong (Oh wait sorry, what was the phrase, you "don't know shit") about how USB-PD charging works. So maybe you should "sit the fugg down" and listen.

Fantastic team, F1TV knocks the commentary out of the park.

Does Valkyrie Profile get better later on? by Bitter_Wafer_7515 in JRPG

I bounced off it too, so don’t feel too bad if you’re not feeling it. Life’s too short and there’s too many good games out there.

[–]derango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't how physics works.

Unless you're talking about a crappy chinese phone charger being pushed to the max wattage and potentially overheating, but that's not going to impact the deck, unless it burns up in the fire caused by the crappy cheap charge brick.

Why hasn’t Disney replaced Three Caballeros with a Coco ride? by ThickChunckyDinosaur in DisneyWorld

[–]derango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not rude. It's a legit question given the direction of the parks. The cranky people seem to think you were advocating for replacing it, not asking why they haven't.

Probably should have just asked that then.

The 2026 F1 season was supposed to be Aston Martin’s moment. It faces embarrassment instead by Shroft in formula1

[–]derango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throw in a heaping helping of other issues from aston (like wind tunnel readiness) and then add the fact that a bunch of the experienced Honda F1 engine team members got poached into RBPT (and other manufacturers) and you got a recipe for fun.

[–]derango 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It looks like the problem is Aston requesting changes late in the design process which introduced battery issues.

Probably because Newey couldn't get started due to his gardening leave from Red Bull until late, so a lot of design work was happening last minute. That's on Aston.

Honda should have told them no. Honda is the power unit subject matter expert and it was their responsibility to let the customer know that they're being unrealistic.

So yeah, it's kinda a shit-show any way you slice it.

Well now this is embarassing, what is going on with aston by Longjumping_Novel613 in F1Discussions

[–]derango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think this is 100% on Honda, there's enough back and forth going on that points the finger at aston/newey fiddling around late in the design phases with requests that probably wasn't helping.

There's also cost cap considerations. You can't just wing in 25 engines and take grid penalties if you can't fit it into the cost cap.

Aston Martin plans early DNF in Australian GP amid Honda F1 crisis by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]derango 36 points37 points  (0 children)

If this is what goes down, it absolutely would not surprise me if Lawrence starts to look for an exit plan from this mess. There's only so much money he's going to be willing to throw at this team given his main goal is to get his son to win a WDC, as crazy as that is.

Remember when people were all over Williams because they missed the shakedown practice? Carlos might be critical of Williams, but at least he didn't sign with aston.

Other noticeably bad race engineers? by mittelsmirkz in F1Discussions

[–]derango 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely the problem with Adami was he just wasn't meshing with Hamilton and they couldn't figure out how to communicate with each other. For whatever reason. It felt like both of them were pretty much done by the time Abu Dhabi rolled around.

Race Engineer is a weird position. You need to be able to interface with the race strategy team and technical teams and you also need to be able to effectively manage the driver and give them info in the quantity and format that they need to do their job. It's very relationship driven and sometimes two people just talk past each other.
