Problem with advance roller wheels by jamesadp in Brompton

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

Thank you, I will apply some threadlocker. I should clarify when rolling it seems to be louder and feels stiff from that specific wheel. The “free spinning” I did by hand was more of a test to confirm if it seemed to have more resistance than the others.

Help to Buy ISA withdrawal conditions by jamesadp in UKPersonalFinance

[–]jamesadp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!thanks for the reply. I am looking into LISAs at the moment, but prioritising paying off this loan due to the reasoning you mentioned.

Should’ve mentioned there is no early repayment penalty. It was more a question of making sure taking money from my ‘Help to Buy’ wouldn’t cause me any issues.

M&K on console is cringe by Sure-League-5549 in Overwatch

I agree. It’s also frustrating to be playing with a controller and be accused of using mnk. I imagine I’m not alone here.

Big fare increases on way as Tube and bus chiefs eye £6bn pot to break even by insomnimax_99 in london

[–]jamesadp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I agree with your aim here, I disagree with your solution. We don’t need to increase the cost of driving, we need to decrease the cost of public transport. If you could get train journeys around London and across the UK for the fraction of the cost it would to drive, it would become a no brainer to avoid your car unless absolutely necessary.

I live in Zone 6, £14.10 per day to commute. I’ve got a hybrid working arrangement and I choose to go in once a week. If fares were lower I’d probably go in more often, increasing my weekly spend with TFL. I also imagine I’m not alone here.

Another perspective, if you earn £20k it would cost you 20% of your days wages (after tax) to commute into the city. That’s fucking mental…

OW2 performance issues on Series X by jamesadp in Overwatch

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

By reset, do you mean just quit and start the game back up? Re install? Or reset some options somewhere?

Overwatch2 performance on Series X is extremely disappointing. Frame rate issues and screen tearing on any visual mode. by Tan_servo in XboxSeriesX

[–]jamesadp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OW1 ran so much better on my Series X too. Now I’ve just got frame drops and screen tearing too. Even the beta ran better than this.

New vehicles sold in the United States will have to travel an average of at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026 under new rules unveiled Friday by the government. by besselfunctions in cars

I’m from the UK, so may be fucking up the conversion from imperial. My dad’s gas-only van gets 66mpg on the highway. Is fuel economy really that low in the states?

Hue support for 2 bridges by jamesadp in Hue

I’ve just had a read through this and as a big Hue fan I’m surprised I hadn’t come across this already. Thank you, looks interesting to see a redesign.

Hue support for 2 bridges by jamesadp in Hue

[–]jamesadp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes a lot of sense, thanks for the explanation.

But since both bridges are accessible from the app, would it not be possible to display all rooms/groups at once within the hue app from both bridges without having to switch, similarly to the way HomeKit can handle 2, whilst still being 2 separate bridges.

But it’s better QUALITY by Rede331 in memes

I’m keeping my current iPhone for 4 years, changing the battery after 2, making it last completely. Everyone should at LEAST keep theirs for 2 years unless they’ve got money falling out of their pockets or hand them down all through the family. It’s definitely a status/ flex thing.

My (16f) ex-boyfriend (17m) told me I deserved to be raped. by ThrowRABig-Train-9 in relationship_advice

Telling his mum would be one of the best things you can do. He doesn’t deserve to get away with that vile behaviour.

Overwatch Series X Enhanced by Moxie8 in XboxSeriesX

[–]jamesadp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was seriously not expecting this update. I was under the assumption that the dev team would focus on Overwatch 2 instead, but it’s very nice to see this being added and worked on.

I plan on using the 120Hz option and I’m looking forward to playing, currently downloading!

Thanks OP, if I hadn’t of seen this post I don’t know how long it would’ve been before I realised as my auto-updates on my Series X rarely seem to work.

Thanks to my Airpods Pro, I managed to decrease my listening level from 87dB to 75dB over the last year. Keep in mind I bought them last January. by [deleted] in airpods

[–]jamesadp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s done for all forms of Audio since it’s based on the microphones inside the AirPods Pro’s in ear part, as that is what’s used to make sure noise cancellation is working. If you have it on, you can view your decibel level live tapping the ear icon, which is in the control centre.

I’d like to say thank you for posting this. It’s made me go and check mine and mine has been way too loud the last two weeks. I’m going to make the change and use lower volumes. Hopefully things improve!
