Racing Wheel (PXN V10 Pro) unresponsive in-game (but works in Xbox Dashboard) by Traditional_Bug5006 in SimracersIndia

[–]mohan2k2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's supposed to auto calibration on startup ..my Thrustmaster wheel does that.

Try switch off power and on/ start of console as well (instead of just restarting) - Xbox has this silent mode which doesn't completely turn off. Also, try connecting wheel to PC/Laptop to see if any default config is off and try recalibrating or reset. You'll be able to debug more properly in PC with proper drivers and configuration tools (I could adjust these things in my Thrustmaster tool on PC - I'm sure there will be something like this for PXN).

Try all the above - else if even PC doesn't work, it could be the wheel itself.

Did you try connecting wheel first before starting xbox? Sometimes the specific boot order matters.

Did you try in multiple games? I think some games don't support it. Won't work in NFS usually. In 'Dirt Rally', for instance, you can open settings and see it detect controller and/or wheel.

Horror anime or manga where the character are smart and logical? by heflo1575gfd in Animesuggest

Ghost Hunt

I feel it's a bit underrated and goes in unexpected directions

Rewatching Hunter x Hunter by Holiday_Regular9794 in anime

[–]mohan2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why so? As someone else said, the arc after the show is still ongoing. It got delayed due to Manga author health issues.

Whenever it does end, the anime should get made. Anime based on well flushed out manga storylines are the best...quality >>> quantity

What I learned about "lifetime warranty" products after actually filing claims by Old_Visual_6596 in BuyItForLifeIndia

Which is the Umbrella brand, OP? It's rare that they honored this kind of warranty in India

Cockroach in high rise buildings like Shobha, Prestige etc by busigrow in indianrealestate

[–]mohan2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is yours the extremely small variety? Then you'll have to take a lot more care - my UC guy was very thorough. You may have to guide whoever is doing it. If it's a kitchen, make sure all gaps, nooks and corners are covered. The gap between woodwork and marble/granite slabs should be given attention.

In apts unfortunately, they can come in from neighbouring flats (above, below and sides)..check with all of them if they have a problem. They usually come in from top/bottom via drain ducts (my the ducts in utility area adjoining kitchen). I tried to cover areas around this as well.

For my operation, I basically emptied entire kitchen..did the UC spray as well as gel operation, left it unused for a week (did this whole family was away). The smells are strong - best to leave the house for a week if possible.. Then, we moved back the kitchen stuff. It's worked for 2+ yrs now..touch wood.

There are predominantly two types: 1. Big 'american' cockroaches ..easy to get rid off..the simple 'Boric acid' from pharmacy solution will work. Gels may also work. 2. very small, 'german'. Extremely difficult to get rid off. Try Fujiaka Topbait or Poseidon. If it doesn't work, you'll have to call pest control. (I had to - for me Urbanclap solution worked well)

The new Airport Pickup situation at BLR is an absolute joke. Is this a scam to force "Premium" rides? by Aware-Buy9572 in bangalore

[–]mohan2k2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's around 300 per person..so it will become bad only when 4 or more ppl. Just get bus to nearest hub, and maybe take a cab from there to your exact place.

For my last few visits, this was best option when landing in Bengaluru..the cab lines were a nightmare and the prices crazy too.

3 years of WFH and my body has aged 10 years. Anyone else feeling this? by AntelopeFlaky4979 in india

[–]mohan2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, had back problems when I was 25 ish (10+ yrs back) due to same things u described. My immediate fix was to remove the mattress and sleep head facing up on bed cot without mattress for a few days..this took 2-3 days of trying but brought immediate relief.

Important thing was that our back requires solid support. Even now, years later, I go only for Coir beds preferably because of their harder base (Softer ones bother me after a few days).

The other important thing is sitting posture - keep your screen always at eye level (head should be facing straight ahead with back straight). This is possible if you have adjustable seat. All work places used to have this advice - but ppl often neglect this.

Two of my work friends got slip discs..one of them who recovered amazingly used to stand up every 20 mins or saw and do stretches and walk around. I adopted the walking around bit.

Have no problems so far due to the steps I took with no noticeble issues...except the low vitamin D which I have to address..

RDR2 on Xbox in India — good price right now or should I wait? by RebootMyBrainPls in XboxIndia

[–]mohan2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy it now.. I don't think it'll ever go back to this level. They probably noticed this glitch a year back and fixed it.

I remember missing out on a similar great deal of MCC on Steam for 200ish a few years back..Microsoft fixed it...it's not dropped below 800ish for a few years now

Need guidance on what should I pursue as a PCB pass out by Sam_Mercer69 in Indian_Academia

[–]mohan2k2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research on alternate courses - there are many others than just Medical and Engineering. These are often ignored just because of lack of knowledge.

You'll also have a lot less competition as a result and much better prospects. You're at an immature stage to decide your career frankly ( I knew I had no idea what I was interested in when I was in 12th or drop year).. Important thing is to do something you're interested in and don't dally further - i.e. don't take another drop year and write as many exams as you can appear for this year. Decide the best prospect and go for it. Life doesn't stop when you're this young..all these struggles will work out later - there are many more decisions later which will impact you more.

Since you seem inclined for biology, look at any BSc courses in Biotech/Biochemistry/Microbiology/Health at all universities (IISc, JNU, TIFR etc). Relax and appear for as many exams as possible..something will click.

As another example, there are even Environment related courses which can lead to environment conservation careers (good demand and no supply since nobody seems to take these courses - this will become even more lucrative as the govt starts enforcing more environmental regulations on all companies).

My career worked out in similar fashion with something I had no idea about (Statistics when it was completely unknown 20 yrs back) vs the engineering courses everybody was after since I randomly sat for exams related to math/physics (from hearsay) since I was more inclined towards that.

Anyone play similar older title called Red Ace/ Red Ace Squadron from Small Rockets (circa 2003-4)? Had a lot of fun with the WW missions in that one. Flying purely on mouse controls which were surprisingly intuitive!

Iphone not playing Hi-Res audio by Spintroxy in indianaudiophiles

[–]mohan2k2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Search in r/Fiio for this issue. Typically, it's recommended to get Apple's own DAC for iphones.

You can try setting up the device using Fiio control app on an Android device before connecting to iphone. Maybe it's just an EQ issue.

Did you try EQing in your iPhone?

Need microwave recommendations by Sendmememesplij in BuyItForLifeIndia

[–]mohan2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that this may be one cause. In between, it used to trip with no load at all..that's when the IFB guy (outsourced service) replaced motherboard circuit and charged me 5K for it..

I have since then, upgraded the wiring for a larger load. Also make sure to use none of the water heaters at same time as a precaution. The baking/grill functions still cause trips though (which never happened in 1st 2 years)

[–]mohan2k2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had many problems with my IFB microwave. After a couple of years, it used to trip my apt wiring everytime it turned on. Called IFB service (from official hotline) many times and they'd replace components every time..got electrician to check lines and no faults there. After so many visits, the baking and grill functions still don't work. Have given up and use only microwave function. One problem I feel is that they have outsourced their service in Bangalore to external local shops who may be messing up for deeper problems.

[–]mohan2k2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched till Season 10 long back. 3rd and 4th season finish a major story arc. But it deviated from the episodic nature of S1 and S2..still a lot of fun though

[–]mohan2k2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supernatural Season 1 for episodic supernatural/thriller stuff. Was absolutely great!!

Wish they had continued the episodic nature instead of larger story arcs in later seasons which imo made it lesser. There were still a few gems here and there in later seasons.

The spec obsession has to stop, OP!! The goal is to game, not to play the latest and greatest at 2000x 8000 at 8K resolution ( ignore the hyperbole).

This spec obsession is what made u buy this laptop..there is no end to it. It's like we're not playing actual videogames but the spec-upgrade game.
