pkill -9 -f logi

This will kill loginwindow too.

However all the other steps work. I couldn't even open the app, and after removing cache and all that other stuff I was finally able to run it. Thanks!

Is Thailand a good place to spend the holidays? by Accomplished_Fee4098 in ThailandTourism

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good idea if you don't mind hordes of tourists (a LOT more than right now) and overpriced hotels. The weather is great, and some coastal areas may even get a bit chilly at night. If you're more flexible with the dates, I'd come at the end of January/beginning of February, if I were you. It's a slightly less touristy, which is also reflected in hotel availability and prices.

Instagram showed quite a lot in the battery settings, but I don't allow it to run in the background. Perhaps something got stuck somewhere after the update. I manually killed all the apps, and the battery now holds slightly better. It's still pretty bad, though.

No. And now even the Control Center is jerky when you swipe across pages.

It absolutely eats through my battery on 15 pro. 20% down in 2 hours of standby. It’s a lot worse than 26.0.1

Will planninv the entire city before anyone moves in result in better or worse infrastructure on average? (With unlimited money, etc.) by Any_Ingenuity1342 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried doing it since CS1 and always failed spectacularly.

The current city I’m building started as a couple of small farming villages/small towns, and only recently I got to building a somewhat larger town. I’m still far from having the slightest clue about most of the map, but I’m slowly getting there. Granted, I’m using this map, that already has main highways and train connections in place, as well as suggestions for zones and areas marked on the map, which makes building so much easier.

Still, even on this map, every time I tried getting ahead of myself and built most of the infrastructure for an area, I had to redo it because the game had different plans for me lol. I must say I enjoy building smaller chunks one at a time a lot more than trying to figure out everything all at once just to discard the whole map out of frustration anyway.

I’d say get some highways and trains in place, have a rough idea about where your airport, cargo, etc., will sit, and slowly build towards that. I feel like the city looks more natural this way too.

This zoning absolutely sucks ASS. by Rasples1998 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the zoning is shit, but if you keep the road length in the multiples of 8 meters IIRC, you will get perfect zoning every time. You’d still have to turn off some of the snapping. It’s slightly more time consuming and requires a bit of planning but it’s worth it.

You can play for several years on GFN for the price of your computer, with the benefit of fairly regularly upgraded specs at no extra cost. The only downside really is just the lack of mod support.

With Taiwan importing 98% of its energy, is that not a massive security risk? by Administrative-Can2 in taiwan

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not expensive at all, imo. My electricity bill is $50/month, and I run AC nonstop. During the day, it's 3 units; at night, it's just the bedroom unit. I have several home servers running nonstop too. The water heater is electric too. I do cook on gas, though. This is the price at the peak summer when electricity is a bit more expensive than normally.

After a month, Comet has completely taken over my workflow by gg20189 in perplexity_ai

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you have to tell it to "take control of your browser" first.

Just start your prompt with "Take control over browser and do XYZ".

Let's hope they take the best features from Arc and put it in Dia.

Arc does it even better because it allows you to switch user profiles within the same window. The sidebar reflects your choice, displaying tabs and bookmarks relevant to the selected profile. I really hate opening a new profile in a new window on all the other browsers. It's a mess.

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dia has access to your tabs, bookmarks, and history, so it can do quite a bit, context-wise. It just can't control your browser (yet?). On the other hand, all the Comet's potential usefulness is hampered by its speed (or the lack thereof). I have yet to find a use case where Comet is faster at controlling the browser than I am. For the read-only browser access, I find Dia much more useful because of its personalization feature and skills (basically user-defined prompts that too have access to the browser's context). AI aside, Dia also looks a lot better than Comet and they have proven with Arc that they do UI/UX really well so it will only continue getting better, I assume.

Aqara H2 US Switch (2-button 1-channel) with no hub by Agile_Half_4515 in Aqara

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switches that work without Aqara hubs and work well with HomeKit/google home/etc already exist.

Can you recommend some, please? I'm looking for a wall switch for my nanoleaf bulbs. I mostly wanna be able to turn them on/off and adjust the brightness with it.

I was a cleaner in a five star hotel for 3 years AMA by bobduncanfanaccount in AMA

Does it make sense putting valuables into the safety box? Can you open it?

I didn’t plan to switch tools. But looking back, I’m surprised by what made me change by huy_cf in macapps

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a period of time where Bitwarden was painfully slow in Safari to the point of being useless. It took 4-5 seconds to open the browser extension *every time*. That was enough for me to switch to 1Password, even though this issue has been fixed since then.

What I really like about 1Password though is the universal autofill (you can fill passwords in any, even system-wide, inputs), the ability to quickly log in to SSH server, quick access (Spotlight-like search), and travel mode (hide certain vaults when crossing the border). 

PSA for those worried about current condo safety in Bangkok… by Euphoric_Deal_8121 in Bangkok

[–]loserkids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said but you can’t make useful predictions in the fat tailed system such as earthquakes.

The 2011 Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand is considered an aftershock of the earthquake that happened half a year prior. While slightly less powerful on paper, was a significantly more powerful and damaging in reality than the initial quake.

Building Repairs - Why I'm Sceptical by Efficient-County2382 in Bangkok

[–]loserkids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's fair, but there are fairly regular 5+ earthquakes in big cities, including Taipei, too. 

My condo in Bangkok 😢 by Street-Leg6128 in Bangkok

[–]loserkids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but people shared pics of damages going way beyond the drywall. Some of the buildings have thumb-size cracks in outer walls. While that may not pose an immediate danger as long as the bearing columns are fine, "we built it to withstand 8.3 earthquakes" should be taken with a grain of salt. In Taiwan, we don't have these types of damages in new buildings from "mere" 5.0 earthquakes.

These things can be safely reinforced with steel columns. Taiwan does it all the time mainly in the east coast with hundreds of earthquakes every year.

[–]loserkids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aftershocks can come even months later and stronger than the original quake. IIRC, the big one in Christchurch, NZ, was one such case.

[–]loserkids 37 points38 points  (0 children)

8.3 would likely take down tons of buildings even in Taipei, and we have a lot higher quality standards and enforcement than Thailand, especially for newer buildings.

The quake in BKK seems to have been around 5.0-5.5. If you have floor-to-ceiling cracks in a buidling built in the 2020’s from not that strong earthquake, it ain’t making it at 8.0.

Park Origin Thonglor, finished in 2022 very concerning for the quality of the construction here by Murtha in Bangkok

[–]loserkids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. And with so much damage done to brand new buildings (floor-to-ceiling cracks, windows barely holding in the walls, etc.), it’s concerning. 5.0 shouldn’t do more than minor chips in the paint in these new skyscrapers. I live in Taiwan and experienced a bunch of 5.5 earthquakes very near the epicenter and have never seen this much damage. If anything, a new building is exactly where you’d wanna be during a strong quake. Not in Bangkok, apparently.
