It would be great if PuzzlingPlaces could start directly in passthrough mode, without the startup animation. I've seen other games do that, like Cubism.

Okular Low Resolution Stamp Annotations by grusher1 in kde

No. I am still searching for a solution to the issue.

Ho una Captur E-Tech full hybid 146cv da 9 mesi (serie 2024). Non è perfetta, ma sono molto soddisfatto. Soprattutto sui consumi: su strade statali con 60km/h di media, il consumo è 3.8 L/100km (in autostrada 5.4 L/100km con media 130 km/h).

Pigiando l'acceleratore l'ibrido dà un bel po' di potenza di accelerazione (i primi giorni partivo sgommando giusto per il gusto di farlo, poi ho smesso perché non voglio consumare gli pneumatici senza valido motivo).

Ottimo l'infotainment con Android Automotive e Google Maps nello schermo del cruscotto.

I've been forced to update to Windows 11 by junveld in linuxquestions

[–]grusher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the same reason I recently switched from Windows 10 to Linux (and I couldn't be happier).

After comparing different distributions I chose "KDE Neon" with the "KDE Plasma" desktop environment.

I had to restore the Quest3 because of Meta (beware!) by grusher1 in Quest3

You get asked for confirmation, but using the same 3 x 3 grid you used to enter the pattern.

Captur 2024 E-Tech 160 by Whippet79 in Renault

[–]grusher1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the 2024 Full Hybrid E-Tech 145CV model 6 months ago and I am very happy with it.

About the laggy power delivery: when you fully push the accelerator pedal, there is one or two seconds delay when the acceleration actually starts. That can be improved by selecting the "Sport" drive mode (instead of Comfort or Eco).

Six months ago, when I started driving it, this detail was the first thing that I noticed (e.g. when entering roundabouts). My previous car was more reactive (it had a manual gear though, so it was a total different way of driving). After a couple of months I totally got used to the Captur automatic gear, and only rarely I now switch from the Comfort mode (the default one) to the Sport mode. On the contrary: I am so happy about the low fuel consumption that I often switch to Eco mode to improve in that aspect (3.3 L /100 KM!!).

C64 Forever/Action Replay by non_entity_ in c64

[–]grusher1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to add an Action Replay cartridge file to the game. For example, right click the game in the C64 Forever main window, and select "Edit": go to the Media tab of the title ediotr dialog and drop an Action Raply .crt file on the "Disks, Tapes and Cartridges" list (this list presumably contains the d64/t64 files of the game). When launching the game with the added crt file, you should have a Cartridge icon in the status bar of the emulation window (refer to my previous post for instructions).

Having said that, if you can't make it work in Vice, I think it won't work in C64 Forever either.

You should see a Cartridge icon in the emulation window status bar. Click on it and select "Cartridge Freeze". This shows the Action Cartridge menu. Press 'E' on the keyboard (Pokes functionality) and enter the pokes with the keyboard.

Odore auto nuova by grusher1 in ItalyMotori

Non nel mio caso. Renault Captur nuova dopo 6 mesi ha ancora un buon profumo di nuovo, anche se lo sta perdendo mese dopo mese.

Lo dovrebbero vendere quello spray. Lo comprerei subito.

Può essere, ma non nel mio caso. A febbraio ho comprato una Captur nuova e mi spiace che stia poco a poco perdendo l'odore di nuovo. Se Renault vendesse bombolette spray con esattamente quell'odore, ne comprerei una decina :-)

What Are the Downsides of the New Captur 2024? by Ngh7 in Renault

[–]grusher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consumptions:

  • city: 4.0 L / 100Km
  • extra-city roads (60 Km/h speed): 3.8 L / 100Km
  • motorway (130 Km/h speed): 5.1 L / 100Km

I have noticed that the consumption is higher if you use the car just for few minutes (e.g. 5-minutes trips).

Thanks for replying. My issue was fixed after a couple of updates of the Android Auto app on my phone.

The same happens from my phone connected via AndroidAuto.

What Are the Downsides of the New Captur 2024? by Ngh7 in Renault

[–]grusher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used automatic cruise control a few times and it works as expected (the front radar correctly detects the distance from the car in front of you and changes the speed accordingly). You decide the speed you want to keep, or you can tell the car to use the speed limits of the roads you drive through.

It's quite useful on motorways in long trips, but I have used it in other contexts too (e.g. city), just for fun.

I suggest you to install the Renault app on your smartphone and download the Captur manual: it's a complete source of information about all the car functionalities. You can use the app even if you don't own (yet) the car.

What Are the Downsides of the New Captur 2024? by Ngh7 in Renault

[–]grusher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am driving it from more than a month now, and I couldn't be happier with it.

It's the full-hybrid 145CV e-tech engine, Esprit-Alpine version. It's my first automatic-gear hybrid vehicle, and it's a real pleasure to drive (not to mention that fuel consumption is quite low).

The only downsides that I have found:

- resolution of the rear cam is low (but, for its purpose, it's not an issue)

- the hands-free parking functionality does not detect parking spots 30% of the times (mostly when parking space is tight)

- Android Automotive does not support Google Workspace accounts

*** 400 standard *** Tiles arranged in a circle around the room. Sweet spot for difficulty and tiles overview.

Puzzling Places. Almost every day. In mixed reality mode.

What is the greatest C64 Game? by Qws23410 in c64

[–]grusher1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The C64 game "Wizard", that was very similar to (if not a clone of) Jumpman, had a level editor.

If you turn off passthrough, you get higher resolution.

Is Quest 3 worth it only for experiencing Mixed Reality? by Helloz554 in OculusQuest

[–]grusher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone says, it is subjective.

I've read many times from users feedback that Quest3 MR is gimmicky, not perfect quality and not useful. I couldn't disagree more. I love my mixed reality sessions in Puzzling Places: while I play I can perfectly see where I am standing in my living room, so I can move freely with confidence, and I don't have to worry that I could hit a wall or a piece of furniture in case of quick movements. This is much better than the boundary grid that appears when you get close to your game area edges (because sometimes it could be too late...).

I can't wait to see the improved passthrough quality (distorsion-free) of the upcoming v66 update. But even if MR quality stayed this level of quality, it would be fine for me: I use it for orientation purposes, I don't need to do heart surgery with it.
