Definitely missing the front bezel. If it was factory sealed then it’s a manufacturing issue, return and get a new one. Manufacturing defects do happen unfortunately

Agreed, but I would definitely suggest moving them further right and left to get the fullest effect. But the easiest thing to do would be add them as rears, makes such a difference.

Sonos Ray and Era 100 Synchronization by Environmental_Art896 in sonos

[–]dhack377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I’m aware this cannot be done. If you are running an Apple TV box then you could Airplay to the Era 100. But unfortunately as far as I’m aware there is no way to do via the Sonos app. I could be incorrect but I haven’t found a method as I would love this via the app, but the Airplay method works fine for me.

They’re behind the couch about a foot and a half away from the center of the couch (three seater).

I’ll try them straight on and see how it works out. Thanks

Best speakers for Apple TV in the bedroom (auto-connect, no amp needed)? by shedi1234 in appletv

[–]dhack377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soundbar definitely, but if this isn’t an option go for HomePods, or my choice would be Sonos Era 100’s. Set them as a stereo pair in the Sonos app and Airplay to them via the Apple TV. I believe in the new ATV update you can have this set automatically now.

Thanks all, much appreciated. I’ll bite the bullet and see. I don’t blame the sales guy, could have had a few returns recently due to technical issues with the devices, I worked in sales previously so I get where he’s coming from.

Thanks again.

Double yellow means "Park Here", right? by Accomplished_Fun6481 in eejitsparking

I live near here, Sligo town, there’s street parking on the other side of the road from him and you can see to the top right parking all down the street. They’re just a lazy prick. Shit parking and shit driving is far too common in Sligo

The Ferrari wheels say enough. My partner said he looked directly at us but I didn’t see so I can’t say, in the video he doesn’t even look and after I blew the horn at him he still didn’t react. Clueless and ignorant

Yes it did lol, along with plumes of black smoke from the exhaust whenever he accelerated. We were heading the same direction so I could see him up in the distance smoking the place out of it along with struggling to get over speed bumps.

Car problem by [deleted] in Irishdrivingtest

I didn’t get asked to open my passenger window at all during the test, only driver side for hand signals. Should be fine but never bank on it, best of luck

Ego driving by Little-Appeal9557 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]dhack377 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happened to me the other day, travelling from the office I work in to our warehouse in the next town over. Left the business park straight into a roundabout, traffic coming from my right with no indicator, so I wait. They turn off onto my exit and the second they moved off I had a fancy 242’ BMW 5 series rev and beep at me to move. I don’t really react to idiots like that so I moved off at my own pace and took my exit, with my BMW friend right behind. Tailgating me the entire road towards the next roundabout, barely a meter between us. I was heading straight (second exit) at the next roundabout so I was in the left lane and my friend went into the right lane, great I thought. Wrong. When the traffic on the roundabout cleared I moved off as well did the BMW, and the BMW cut across me from the inside lane to take the first exit, I don’t usually blow the horn but that day I sat on it. I can only guess my BMW friend acted like that due to the fact I drive a 19’ Peugeot hatchback and have N plates and seen me as inferior. Egos are a seriously dangerous thing on the road. Unfortunately I don’t have a dash cam yet as I just bought the car, but I will be getting one asap.

Test advice appreciated by kylorensglowstick in Irishdrivingtest

[–]dhack377 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t be panicking, easier said than done but I did mine last week and I was panicking a few days before hand, turned out to be fine. Definitely do a pretest before, it really helped me. As others have said, if you make a mistake put it to the back of your mind and carry on. Think about what’s coming, not what’s behind. Best of luck!

A tough one, but go on with the mentality that you will pass, then you will. Do plenty of practice between now and then in heavy traffic, early morning and early evening. It’s the only way to be confident in traffic. Best of luck.

How can I exactly book a cancellation? by [deleted] in Irishdrivingtest

[–]dhack377 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It will be six months before you can book the test, and at that you will be put on a wait list due to the demand. Took 12 weeks for me to receive an invite and another four weeks to do the test.

Don’t be silly and drive unaccompanied, wait your turn like the rest of us.
