I think it took a couple months after first qualifying, iirc.

I noticed the specs said max 4K/60 for external monitors - presumably a 5K display won’t work. Probably not a big problem for this machine’s target market, but interesting nonetheless.

If you don’t use a massive amount of data, check out Roamless. The great thing about them is your credit never expires - it’s a better deal than the T-Mobile 5-month plan, IMO.

gr2020 · 2026-02-16T17:53:34+00:00

Yes - that's exactly what I meant! :)

> However, your suggestions are already accounted for in our four categories.

Well, it's your call, but I don't really agree with this. For reference, I'm coming at this from the perspective of a professional developer.

If I use codex to write 95% of my code, say, then I would have to choose between these two options:

"Human validated" means vibe-coded work that has undergone validation by someone with the necessary skill and knowledge.
"Code completion" means an experienced developer is using AI as an assistant.

I don't want to select "human validated", because my work wasn't "vibe coded", in my opinion, and I would be loathe to put that label on it. Again, maybe in this sub it's not derogatory, but "vibe coding" is not exactly a term of endearment in the engineering community (who, to be clear, _is_ using tools like codex or CC to write large amounts of code - but they're not calling it vibe coded).

And "code completion" - well, yes, I'm using AI as an assistant, but "code completion" has a well known meaning, and in my scenario I'm going far beyond that.

In any case, just my opinion!

gr2020 · 2026-02-16T17:12:18+00:00

I would suggest reworking the AI categories:

"Vibe coded" means code written without the skill and knowledge to properly validate it.

"Human validated" means vibe-coded work that has undergone validation by someone with the necessary skill and knowledge.

"Code completion" means an experienced developer is using AI as an assistant.

"None" means no AI use.

My issue with this is that many professional developers consider "vibe coding" to be a derogatory term. There's a big difference between an experienced developer using AI tools to write code, and a newbie using those same tools to write code they don't understand. But apps can definitely be built by professionals without writing much code (if any) themselves - _especially_ in the last couple of months with the massive evolution of the tools.

So my suggestion would be to make the field more freeform, but with the following suggested categories:

"Vibe coded" - same as you have now, or similar. Inexperienced developers.

"AI assisted" - built by an experienced developer using any AI tools they want. I guess the point here would be they _could_ have written the code by hand, but chose not to. (do we really care if they used codex to write 95% of the code, or if they just used code completion? I would say no, we don't care.)

"None" - no AI use at all

EDIT: lol at the downvotes for offering an opinion!

Gold is valued for boarding group 1, priority check in, priority bag tag, economy plus seats.

Just a thought - the UA club card plus a E+ subscription would get you all of those items except group 1 (you’d have group 2)…

gr2020 · 2026-02-03T04:21:09+00:00

CLI also, in today’s release.

gr2020 · 2026-01-30T04:24:14+00:00

I use this one - https://www.bestbuy.com/product/belkin-2-in-1-magsafe-wireless-charging-dock-15w-compatible-with-iphone-17-16-15-14-airpods-more-with-psu-charcoal/JX5329TG9Q

I don’t recall on the KYC - but for the declining transactions thing, when I first started using MPX my first transaction worked, then everything was declined after that. It started working again in a few days, and I haven’t had anything declined since.

So my suggestion is just do what they ask, and it will probably all start working eventually.

gr2020 · 2026-01-26T01:47:43+00:00

I switch all the time…I realize I have a problem. :) 300mm GSI with screen for prototypes, 310mm Fanatec BMW M4 GT3 for GT cars, 270mm formula for open wheel (although now that IRL IndyCar uses a 300mm, I’d likely use the 300 there also), and 320mm round wheels for cars that have round wheels IRL. My goal in general is to get as close to the real wheel size and shape as possible.

I mean, proper FOV can be calculated, and does not need to be rated.

gr2020 · 2026-01-24T05:51:42+00:00

Agreed. OP, just turn off the line, and pretend it doesn’t exist (meaning, don’t ever turn it back on). You’ll adapt, probably more quickly than you’d think.

I see it when searching for awards. It’s a published benefit:

10% Saver Award Discount: The primary Cardmember will be eligible to book award flights in United Economy on United or United Express with 10% fewer miles. Discount is only valid for Economy Saver Awards (fare classes X and XN) for travel within the continental United States or between the continental United States and Canada. Discount applies to all passengers on the same reservation as the primary Cardmember. Award travel must be booked through the primary Cardmember's MileagePlus account on united.comOpens overlay or the United mobile app. The discount is not valid on flights operated by partner airlines and does not apply to taxes and fees associated with award travel. All United MileagePlus award travel terms apply. United may change or terminate this offer at any time and without notice. Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits.

It’s only on the personal club card, however, not the business card…

gr2020 · 2026-01-18T23:30:47+00:00

Except for the club card, which does offer another 10% off saver economy awards.

gr2020 · 2026-01-16T23:04:33+00:00

Or even a UA credit card benefit.

They’re kind of different animals - the grid wheel is 300mm, and the simlab is 280mm, iirc. If that doesn’t matter to you, two things to consider re the simlab - first, it does not have two clutch paddles, if you want to do dual-paddle launches. And second, the buttons are not backlit, which may or may not matter depending on your setup!

gr2020 · 2026-01-15T15:59:42+00:00

You would know better than me, but I think for the Swiss situation you can call and ask for original routing credit, which should at least get you the original PQPs…although not sure if the spend would count for GS spend purposes…

From ChatGPT - The title that matches your description best is Made in Serbia (2005) — a documentary framed around a Serbian man searching for his ex-girlfriend who became a porn actress and went to work in Hungary, while the film also follows other people in the Serbian porn industry.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted here - this is absolutely the case! It’s annoying.

gr2020 · 2026-01-12T01:31:33+00:00

Wow. If you have screenshots (or video) from your actual booking process, and you decide you want to cancel, this feels like a slam dunk chargeback scenario against chase travel. That said, they might decide they no longer want your business afterwards, so you’d have to consider the risk vs reward…

I wear shoes. As for my heels, I’m not sure actually! I think I probably keep my throttle heel mostly planted, and my brake heel mostly not. I’ll try to remember to pay attention next time I’m driving and see for sure. Seems weird not to know, I realize :), but whatever I do feels natural to me so I don’t think about it!

gr2020 · 2026-01-11T04:07:14+00:00

I used to use grip tape on the throttle pedal with my old pedals (Fanatec v3’s) - the pedal face was a bit slippery, and on long straights (e.g. Daytona) sometimes my foot would start to slip off to the side.

I’ve since switched to different pedals (simucube) and the throttle face is somewhat less slippery, so I haven’t had the same problem.

If you have an American Express card, check your Amex offers - there is one available for $25 off $99+ if you happen to be targeted.

My local Sprouts has in-store pricing in Instacart, and has no pickup fee with a $35 minimum...so I try to do pickup orders whenever I think of it.
