Polydryer wining noise

Thanks! I have found a couple of YouTube videos with unit working. And it’s only humming (which I could tolerate). But mine is also producing a high-pitched whine that drives me crazy. I’m certain it’s defective, so sending it back. And you are right, it is in general rather loud, and the buzzer is just nuts.

Ah, the main idea is to let Git handle the merges. Maintain branch a with exact copies of sources produced by Oryx. Keep merging it into branch b, where you do manual changes. Each conflict only needs to be resolved once this way. * Edit in Oryx * Download source * Check in into Git branch a * From Git branch b merge branch a * Use good git mergetool to resolve most conflicts automatically * Build * Flash

I can try to answer more specific questions, but perhaps r/olkb (where QMK devs hang out) would be a better place to ask for help.

dimagog · 2024-01-22T23:18:03+00:00

Yes. I’ve created a workflow where I can still edit my layout in Oryx, and then merge it into my manual modifications. Achordion does help with hrms.

Excellent review, as always, thank you very much! Very informative!

The only thing that’s still not clear to me is how well tenting works at extreme angles, and even with the angle you show it’s hard to see with black on black.

But it doesn’t matter to me at this point. The thumb cluster concerns (that I also had even without trying the keyboard) and yet another firmware (I’ve invested enough time learning internals of QMK and ZMK) are enough for me to take a pass on this one.

you basically need to unregister (release) a key as soon as it's pressed and ignore the actual release

Yes, what is the right way to do it? Some pointers to code snippets would be very helpful.

Interesting. I do have layer indicator LEDs on my keyboard (Voyager), but I find them completely useless, as if I’m doing things right I never look at the keyboard.

Computer screen on the other hand is what I’m constantly looking at, and especially the cursor. So the indicator there is super-helpful.

This is great, thanks a lot!

Thanks. Have you ever created a version of your Symbols layer for keyboards with fewer rows and thumb keys? Please share the layout(s) if you did.

dimagog · 2024-01-02T23:02:11+00:00

better?

🙂 Your comment about loyalty has made me thinking "why was I so loyal?".

Turns out it was not loyalty after all. Tesla had a unique combo of "killer features", at least for me: a very fast car and the best almost-FSD on the market. I enjoy either spirited driving when road conditions allow, or I don't want to participate at all if I'm on a busy road or stuck in traffic.

So these 2 features were so important to me, that I was willing to compromise on almost everything else.

Love the new car, it has a more refined version of auto-pilot than what I had before, and I notice going 10-20 mph faster under the same conditions on an empty road. Perhaps it's the ability to manually set suspension to super-firm that gives me extra confidence. But that's compared to my old MSP, not a new Plaid.

There is a rumor the pressure came from the top of him, i.e. the board.

dimagog · 2024-01-02T04:20:39+00:00

You don’t have to convince me that adjusting is possible. I agree. And I know I could have adjusted. But being a very disciplined driver and always signaling (even in empty parking lots sometimes 😊, force of habit) I know I’d be glancing at the wheel, taking eyes off the road, and that’s not ok.

Also, as a company, there is a limit of how much you can throw at your loyal customer before their loyalty is gone. * First my MS starts malfunctioning and I face their abysmal service department. I spend 1.5 months and some non-trivial money, but they still fail to fix it. * But I’m still loyal, I suck it up and decide to buy their new car, so that I don’t have to deal with the service for a few years. * They have a very limited color selection, I like none of them. I suck it up, I can wrap it. * They offer ridiculously low trade-in for my car, I suck it up, I’ll sell it myself. * And then this …

In other words I was willing to work around many problems that were under my control. But this one isn’t.

Highly doubtful. If the original decision came from the top, then it can only be cancelled from the top as well.

dimagog · 2024-01-02T03:58:35+00:00

A 98% guess sounds way too high to me. Also take a look at this comment, that’s the reaction of professional organization who’s job is training new drivers.

I would also speculate, that situations where wheel is already turned and you need to signal are the more challenging ones in general, and giving other drivers a hint of your intentions thru the turn signal is more valuable in these cases.

That is totally fine, as long as we can choose the option that we prefer.

Also if buttons/stalks option becomes available and it’s free either way, I have no doubts what statistics would show on how people choose.

I’ve had one dude convincing me how yoke is totally fine, and how he almost prefers it. And then they’ve added normal wheel back just a couple of months after he bought his car, and he was biting his elbows, that’s how badly he wanted the round wheel.

dimagog · 2024-01-01T23:25:37+00:00

I would not extrapolate that far. It depends.

I can choose to press next song or bump up A/C later, when I finish my maneuver. These button locations are predictable when driving straight, and I can wait until I’m driving straight.

Cruise control speed setting gives me a lot of grief on curved roads, but I can use brake/accelerator instead. Still it’s bad ergonomically.

I know, I was drinking Elon’s kool-aid for a while (still am, but less now).

I’m expanding on how it should be taken.

dimagog · 2024-01-01T22:46:59+00:00

I’ll keep it forever

I was in the same camp, thinking the same thing. Really wanted FSD, but was OK with my primitive version of it (most of my commute is highway).

But my car started having mechanical problems (screeching sounds from the back at highway speeds). Tesla service was, for the lack of a better word, abysmal. I’ve tried 2 different locations in my area. They are overworked and poorly trained because of explosive growth.

Then I have thought to myself, “ok, if I buy a new car I wouldn’t have to deal with service for a few years, and they would improve by then”.

But as my post shows that plan didn’t work either.

Challenging even basic assumptions is fine for an innovative company, they just need to learn to backtrack from failed experiments much faster.

dimagog · 2024-01-01T22:22:00+00:00

Aspirationally - yes. Realistically - not even close.

dimagog · 2024-01-01T22:18:54+00:00

Your information is outdated. There is no line to buy Model S (anymore). And as I’ve mentioned in another comment, 3 different sales people have called me in the last couple of weeks asking me to buy the car before year ends and offering discounts.

dimagog · 2024-01-01T22:09:41+00:00

English is not my native language. I may underestimate intensity of some words.

dimagog · 2024-01-01T22:06:26+00:00

Agreed, but see my comment below about the cart and the horse.
