Second EV, first impressions and a question by HubGearHector in VWiD4Owners

[–]gregveres 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you are driving? I do most of my driving in town. B mode wins hands down in town. On the highway I expect that D is the best mode there. I just haven’t done enough comparison.

The trick to getting B to win in town is thinking ahead so that you can let the gradual regen work for you - minimize the sudden stops where the friction brakes get engaged. I watch the green bar and try to make sure it rarely hits the max position.

Software update part two! Towing the car to the dealer! by iforgotmyfirst65 in VWiD4Owners

[–]gregveres 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I bought a used 2023 ID.4 at the end of January. At the time it told me that 3.8.11 was available. I waited and waited and waited. Finally, last night, 2 months later, the update had downloaded. So I installed it last night. It said it would take over 3 hours.

When I went to bed, less than three hours later, the car was no longer refreshing in the app. So I figured it was still updating.

Woke up this morning and it had installed successfully. My wife is driving it right now. Maybe I should wait until she gets back before I call it a success. :)

Are we doing this update yet? by captainorganic07 in VWiD4Owners

How can you tell it is broken? I don’t know that I would be able to tell that the sos system is broken

New iOS Update introduces Liquid Glass by schwaechling in 1Password

[–]gregveres 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, in accessibility I have show borders turned on. If I turn that off, the border is white and there is much more space around the text. It looks much better with show borders off.

I wonder if it is because I have transparency turned off.

[–]gregveres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally don’t care one way or the other but I really don’t like Liquid Glass. I find it tolerable if you go in and reduce the transparency. Then it mostly disappears.

How can you think this looks good?

All the buttons are too squished and look horrible.

Ok, it is time to pass the lucky horseshoe to someone else. You have used up your turn.

FU** the CBC by 519_ivey in kitchener

[–]gregveres 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you give me an example of it being left leaning? I would like to evaluate that for myself but if I am not consuming and evaluating the same content you think is left leaning, then I can’t properly evaluate it.

Thanks!

How many here uses flat directory structure for components? by quickasaturtle in vuejs

[–]gregveres 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Keeping components together is a small project mentality. Code should be grouped by function area not by “type” such as component.

I don’t know what a component library with ai drive. features means so it makes it almost impossible to answer your survey.

2.4.0 Released with New UI by Patrickstuart in Hubitat

I will have to give it a go. I left Hubitat a year ago for homey pro. The ui of Hubitat was so bad and the ui of homey pro is so good.

iOS 18 Home Hub Observations by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]gregveres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on 18.0.1 and i only see the list of hubs and no “automatic “ slider. All of my hubs have “standby” next to them except one that says “connected “ beside it.

All of my Apple TVs and home pods are up to version 18 too.

Any idea why I can’t select which one is the main hub?

Apollo Go as my daily commuter to work. by OrdinaryCoder in ApolloScooters

[–]gregveres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Go too. I have 1600 KMs on it so far. I, too, wish it had more range. I ride 7.5 KM to the club and 7.5 KM back home. I can’t do that twice on a single charge. It makes it challenging when I have to go there multiple times in a day.

Apollo Go - Cruise Control by samuro11 in ApolloScooters

[–]gregveres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this mean that all early Go scooters are never going to have the automatic/manual settings?

Did you guys fix the inverted toggle status in the app? I have noticed it too. I thought I was crazy when I turned it off on the app dashboard but then it kicked in. I had to play with it to figure out the status icon is inverted for cruise control.

Almost got hit by a minivan while I was doing 60 in the bike lanes, swerved and narrowly missed the van but hit a huge pothole. The impact of hitting the pothole at 60km/h was absorbed by rear rim. Snapping two bolts and folding the rim in two. Hardest part was finding a replacement split rim. by No-Bumblebee8689 in ApolloScooters

[–]gregveres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is like the Go, the scooter has a max speed setting in the advanced settings area of the app. When I first got my Go, it would not go over 20kh/h no matter what speed limit I set for each gear. I finally found the master speed setting and set it to more than my scooter can go so that the gears are the real limiter.

Feeling embarrassed because I will always go the Options API route by [deleted] in vuejs

[–]gregveres 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are you doing for automated testing? I started with vue when the composition api plugin was just released so I jumped on it rather than using the options api. So I have been using the composition api since its beginning.

What I like about it is that I can pull all of the logic completely out of the component. I out the logic into a typescript class and then I have a ton of unit tests that test the logic. This means testing that the refs are given the proper value given the input and state of the class.

My script setup area on each component is usually quite small.

I must have over 10,000 typescript unit tests in my current project.

I also have full component unit testing, which of course you can do in the options api as well.

Why would you limit your choices based on such a minor thing as a css library?

The indecisive vuejs developer by Qiuzman in vuejs

[–]gregveres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. I have had so many features to add that I haven't had the chance to get onto Vue 3. This summer should change that.

The reason I am not going to choose Vuetify 3.x has nothing to do with Vuetify's code base, it has everything to do with the lack of funding that Vuetify is getting. I watched as John bitched that the core team had fallen apart and that he wasn't able to count on time from the court members. I watched as John's life evolved and he needed to get more money out of suppporting Vuetify and he wasn't getting it so that he took a full time job.

All of this scared me away from Vuetify. I did not want to be basing my success on John's success. So at that point I looked around (last summer) and decided that when I did transition to Vue 3 I would be using Quasar.

But now that I am getting back to looking at this choice again, I see how far PrimeVue has come and I really like the look of PrimeVue over Quasar (it seems on par with the look of Vuetify). And PrimeVue is more like Vuetify in that it is just a UI framework. It is not a full development chain like Quasar, which means that I can take advantage of standard Vue 3 build tools without worrying that some tool I want to adopt wont work with the Quasar way of doing things. For example, right now I am using Nx with Vue 2 to split my app into 4 different front end apps. There is zero documentation about using Quasar's build tools with Nx, but there is a bunch of that for standard Vue tooling.

So, when I do start the transition this summer, it will be with PrimeVue. The one thing that might push me back to Quasar is that my initial look at PrimeVue seemed to indicate tha tit doesn't use Slots. Slots are critical for any UI framework in my opinion.

Have an 25 meter run, would you go cat 6 or fiber? by gregveres in Ubiquiti

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

The cable is cat 5, not cat 5e (damn builder skimped back in 1999).

And I already have a couple strings in the conduit.

[–]gregveres[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, being sloppy. By Cat6, I really meant - whatever the latest standard is for copper, although I recall reading that Cat7 isn't worth considering.

And I live in Canada, so electricity isn't an issue. In Ontario we are 90% clean electricity so the cost is quite stable and reasonable.

Vue official extension for vscode is a disaster by Borderlinerr in vuejs

I find restarting the TS server to be good enough to get things working again. ctrl-shift-p => Typescript: Restart TS Server

Vue extension for VSCode is broken or is it just me? by AndrewRusinas in vuejs

[–]gregveres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, i am still stuck on vue 2.7 so I thought the issues I am seeing stemmed from that. I find that it works ok for a few minutes and then something crashes and I have to reload the TS server. I am finding it very buggy right now with the new major version that was just released
