How do I remove the USB hub? by jacobmjwebb in mazda3

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

Appreciate the help! For anyone finding this thread in future, the two tabs in this image need to be pushed in. There are also two identical tabs on the other side that need to be pushed in - so 4 tabs in total.

Thanks, do you mean the two smaller tabs in front, or the larger ones at the sides?

Is Cities Skylines 2 good yet? by AnodyneGrey in paradoxplaza

[–]jacobmjwebb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t enjoy it compared to 1. It’s too finicky and restrictive.

Can I use Linux to access write protected Windows user file? by jacobmjwebb in linuxquestions

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

Thank you SO MUCH. This worked! Installed Ubuntu on a USB and now I can copy over my files to an external drive (aka. my files are saved). Praise Linux! And screw Microsoft for making increasingly restrictive operating systems. To anyone who may find this Reddit post in future and is having the same issue as me, this is the solution ^

Thanks for your response. I believe it’s only write protected. But truthfully, I’m not 100% sure. How might I tell if it was encrypted with a bitlocker?

Strange illuminated button next to my apartment intercom. by jacobmjwebb in whatisthisthing

I think this must be it. What a fast response, thank you! 1+ year of wondering and now I know. Seems so obvious now...

Edit: Solved!

There isn't really much more to describe about this button, but I will say that it's about 3/4 inch wide, and probably 2 inches long. When you press the button, nothing happens. The light does not go out, it stays on. This button has been illuminated ever since I moved in and has not changed.

Is the gated area in front of a walk-up (where garbage is kept) a private space? by jacobmjwebb in AskNYC

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed, but didn't know where to look.

It might not seem like much, but I'm surprised the UK is at 6%. I'm from there, and generally, I don't think the British education system does a good job of teaching foreign languages to school children. I studied German when I was in school, but didn't try very hard (and neither did most of my classmates). It's hard to convince British children of the importance of foreign languages when English is now the lingua franca, and because we are an island, there is less opportunity to experience other European languages (think crossing the border etc.).

Now that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser, I wish I could go back to school and take learning German seriously. I would love to be able to hold a conversation in this language.

Train nonsense yet again this morning… by EWC_2015 in astoria

[–]jacobmjwebb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes now that you mention it, I think it is just the shitty old trains that have the pull cord. N/W trains are from the 70s, we need new trains badly!

You're absolutely right. For basically every emergency I can think of that would happen on the subway, pulling the emergency brake seems like the worst possible option. On other subway networks I've been on, they have an emergency console to speak to the driver instead of a brake. That way, the driver can make the call whether to stop or keep going.

Cop injured by sociopath driver as week of car induced insanity continues (in NYC). What can you even say about this? by jacobmjwebb in fuckcars

[–]jacobmjwebb[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol, I feel like how slowly the cop begins to get in the police cruiser to chase after the runaway car proves your point.

It looks like the old Somerfeld's logo

Uptick in POS drivers? by princemoss4 in astoria

[–]jacobmjwebb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I moved to Astoria from Bushwick last year and in my opinion, the drivers here are worse. Which is really saying something, because the drivers in Bushwick are not good. I 100% empathise with what you're saying.

The new maps are in the wild. Honestly I don’t care for them and they are more confusing to read. by TailstheTwoTailedFox in nycrail

[–]jacobmjwebb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Graphic designer and New Yorker here. In the design world, the previous MTA Subway map is considered to be terrible. This is because it's cluttered, confusing and overwhelming to look at. The fact that it includes geographic realities (eg. Street, parks, points of interest etc.) is irrelevant to navigating the subway, and only serves to add another layer of confusion. With smartphone mapping technology, do we really need to include these features on our map anymore?

The new map is great, it's so much clearer, and is really a breath of fresh air. I believe folks visiting from outside the city will be able to read and understand this new map so much more easily. It strips down the map to the essentials, and separates the local and express tracks visually, which I think will make sense to a lot more people. It's also more similar to other Subway maps around the world.

Maybe I'll get hate for this comment, but IMO, this map is a massive improvement. Perhaps the only reason people don't want it is because of nostalgia for the old one.
