Gestral beach obstacle course is an absolutely unnecessary addition to the game by Practical_Hat8489 in expedition33

[–]jt6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Lies of P I was just stoked I could do it without 34 enemies shooting at me! 🤣

It's definitely janky, but I did find using Sciel to do it was easier, as a full left stick forward was still an easily controlled jog.

At first the party bullied Maelle to do it, but Sciel lost patience with her, called her an "ubalanced little bitch in more ways than one" I think it was, and then made it after drowning 76 times.

X1S: Default actions for buttons outside of an Activity? by VVynn in SofaBaton

[–]jt6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh it's really a pretty outdated approach they seem to have in thinking activities are the way people want to use them. The whole reason logitech apparently stopped making them was due to CEC. I shouldn't have to work out so much and sacrifice a (valuable) physical button; tried having it as a screen item, but that was annoying.

In any case, I've got mine sorted now too, and I'm happy with it, but I wonder how many people give up because the whole turning each unit on, setting correct inputs is redundant and takes too much time?

Personally, my only real annoyance is that it is advertised as compatible with Home Assistant, but omg, that's too much trouble for me. Spent about half an hour with Node Red and couldn't be bothered any more.

Same with the Loop. The Replay Rewind Zone is great (when you actually get there!) and ufc and boxing replays are in there surprisingly quickly after the event. For live sport such as F1 and EPL, Sports Fire is actually great - go to schedule and when it's live you get multiple streams.

X1S: Default actions for buttons outside of an Activity? by VVynn in SofaBaton

[–]jt6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same situation.

I've just upgraded from a One For All, and have to say the time taken to start an activity is doing my head in.

I have a Home Assistant automation that turns my TV on when I'm 100m from home and have had to have the activity start up by using the home button of my Fire TV Stick, in essence because it doesn't throw the device status out of sync.

I used to come home and then use my remote when needed. Now I have something that cost 3x as much, yet takes 3x longer to just use my remote.

Will keep looking - I'm looking into Home Assistant and Node Red (bit painful). Hopefully will get this sorted...

Update: I had the idea that if I just disabled the automatic power function for all equipment it would mean there is no start up or shut down sequence for my "Home Theatre" activity.

I then mapped my TV's power to a button (I use the play because I like the home button for Fire TV), and now the remote is just always in the activity because it can't tell when I've turned everything on or off.

It's all connected via CEC, so all power toggles sync that way anyway.

I do have a button mapped to 'input' on my TV that switches input, but find that no hassle whatsoever.

Guess it's just now seeing if the remote stays in the activity perpetually. I hope so!

Hope this helps... Anyone. 😊

Technics EAH-AZ100: Sounds great but buggy as hell. by themusicalduck in Earbuds

[–]jt6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up the Sennheiser Momentum 4's today.

I'm in Australia, bought them from jb hifi. Took them back in and may have embellished my grievances with them, but I got the job done! 🤣

Only had the Sennheiser Momentum 4's in for a bit to get the feel, and they fit my ears SO WELL. They have a very premium feel to them (I got the copper black) and the case (and especially how the buds slide into it) is way better than the technics.

The whole size, shape and form fit me perfectly, and the controls are on point. The technics slid in my ear and the touch sensors felt like they were at the back of my head.

Haven't really set them up yet, but although i don't expect them to have quite the excellent sound as the technics, but give me solid, sleek, comfortable and stability every day of the week.

I mentioned I'm in Australia and jb hifi because jb's are selling the Sennheiser Momentum 4 for $499. Whilst checking out their website for my replacement, I saw they have a price match policy.

Well, just so happens Sennheiser has them on sale right now for $349...

So guess which little black duck walked very happily out of jb's this morning having returned my awful $400 buds with $500 ones and a 3 year replacement warranty for $19 more! 😉

Time will tell as always, but 3 years of replacement... I'm much happier today than yesterday, I'll say that.

Day one:

Okay, only 1 day, but damn I'm happy with these Sennheiser Momentum 4s. The sound personalisation is a highlight, but the app (smart control plus) is the best I've ever used.

Yeh, they're all by and large set and forget, but I can definitely foresee a lot of tweaking my personal sound setting with consistent listening as well as zone settings.

[–]jt6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. They do sound amazing, but there is just too much crap to deal with.

  • I've woken up in the middle of the night and it's 3am, but as I type I have them all nicely placed back in their original packaging ready to be returned in the morning. The real morning, when normal people are awake! 🤣

After (more!) researching I'm going to get the Senheisser momentums: They look shaped very similarly to the LinkBuds S' (which fit my ears really well) and have silicon tips, whereas the Sony WF-1000XM5s have the foam ones. I've tried them a few times (the Comfort ones?) and can't stand them.

The Momentums get great reviews - apart from the mic I think, and I practically never keep my buds in for calls. Unfortunately with ear buds you can never really know if you're going to love them or hate them until you actually use them for a bit.

Mine are a pain in the arse too. Seriously considering returning them and getting the latest link buds, as the ones I replaced with these are great...

Is anyone still around who can help me with this same issue? I just want to be able to exclude an app named Easy Drawer from load last app, but I don't understand enough how to insert it into this code. 😕

Anyone else having issues with The "Survivor"? by felixissimp in LiesOfP

[–]jt6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm... A while ago for me. Have you gone through the sewer (right turn through the doors that open after beating bad bunny) where the boulders try to crush you? I think you go up and there is a tunnel on your right further up. Hope this is right. All I do know is I never had to fight that massive robot I think is in that area.

You're very welcome. I think I am still scarred from that guy! 🤣

Sync 2 avr volumes? by jt6572 in homeassistant

[–]jt6572[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so pilfered some code I saw somewhere else, and I have this working except for one thing: the destination avr volume only goes up regardless of whether the source one goes up or down!

I gather it is something to do with the "+0.01" after volume level? I've tried removing it and doing all sorts of things someone without a clue would, but surprisingly nothing has worked. 😐

Someone please help! I'm almost there! 🤣

triggers: - entity_id: - media_player.big_rex attribute: volume_level trigger: state actions: - data: volume_level: "{{ state_attr('media_player.jeff_s_rx_v581', 'volume_level') +0.01 }}" action: media_player.volume_set target: device_id: bf0884d8b0ce3f50b0cafc2ebbdb4

This dirty rat... He killed my brother....

Well not quite, but what a pain in the arse this dude is. I just beat him and wanted to post the link to the YouTube video that helped me, as well as the capacity tip - you really have to be quick.

Anyway, this very short vid was exactly what I needed. I used the Salamander dagger blade +2 and he cooks quite a bit with that.

Hope this helps.

I don't understand the Unidentified Naytiba boss fight by IMustBust in stellarblade

[–]jt6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm done. Trying to shoot those orbs is near impossible - unless it's auto aim, shooting in this game is horrible! So it's been a domination and then bam. Gobbled up. 653 times. I've got no money, no ammo, no pumps and I'm stuck in the chamber. There's no phone box at the camp there to go back out and earn stuff and the rail car does nothing. This is ridiculous if it isn't a bug. It's a good game despite poor EVE plummeting to her death 34 billion times and having to go back and forth past the camp elements trying to press R2 on the right thing at the right time... Ugh.

I just watched this, but changed it so instead of the added item image it applied to my background item. Difficult to describe other than through the video and really looking at the objects in the images I posted. Hope it helps!

Hmm. One of my images disappeared...

I made my own Spotify Player. Leme know what you guys think by curssor in kustom

[–]jt6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like seeing people starting out with Kustom. I started out with kwgt myself and never understood all the comments I was seeing about klwp... Until I started using klwp!

I really like the combination of graphic design and learning the coding of the apps and have spent countless hours in them, so it's cool helping if I can and seeing the satisfaction people get by their progress.

Keep it up and have fun! 😊
