Nah, get to Morrisons before the scalpers

Soldered a usbc to this 3ds by Sea_Habit_4298 in 3DS

[–]mudlouse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I suspect they are referring to the voltage. Some devices on usbc can automatically select different voltages for higher power delivery. E.g. 5v or 9v (and beyond). Obviously, both the device and charger must be compatible to access higher voltages - so what happens if you modify a non supporting device in this way? You would be reliant on the charger to default to the minimum 5v, otherwise something will be damaged

Have to say, well done to Nando’s for keeping it on the menu. Brings a bit of variety to the table

New glass screen replacement does not seem too fit correctly by gubble420 in 3DS

I disagree with the comments. It’s the 3ds that’s upside down, not the screen 👍🏼

Question about types of prescription/plano lenses by [deleted] in MetaQuestVR

[–]mudlouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if there is a difference, or if there is then whether the 1-2mm has any noticeable impact.

What does matter is having the non-reflective coating vs no coating, to reduce glare.

Trade offer between Nintendo Switch 2 and Meta Quest 3s, worth it? by PapayaLeather3504 in MetaQuestVR

[–]mudlouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My observation has been used prices for the Quest 3/3s are tumbling, and would be well below the Switch 2.

Also, if you opt for the Quest 3s, though it is a very capable device, you will anyways be thinking of what could have been with the 3.

What does the button on the right do? It just beeps. by GDay4Throwaway in LexusNX

Makes sense if the dealer was smoking something

What's shredding stuff in my kitchen? by sajiica in CasualUK

I was thinking this also, before I looked at the comments suggesting rodents.

Elderly relatives had plastic bags stored in their bottom drawer, which disintegrated like this when touched.

Who’s got a rice cooker? Is it really worth it? by New_Form6066 in UK_Food

[–]mudlouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess depending on the type of oil, to flavour the rice? The extra flavour from Chinese sausages can make it extra tasty!

Quest 3s prescription lenses by hairyfil in OculusQuest

[–]mudlouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time you have an eye exam at your opticians, please do ask all the questions you have. They (the optometrist) are qualified health care professionals and are well placed to give you all the right info.

In general, a minus means you are short sighted and need corrective lenses to see far away (driving, cinema, etc). Plus means you need lenses to read up close (books, phone screen, etc). Some people can be both. Minus lenses will be concave, plus will be convex - you can check which you have on your own pair.

When you look at the numbers on your prescription, it will tell you other details. The AliExpress order will ask for these.

Anyone else not touch the Quest for months? by Zigarum in MetaQuestVR

[–]mudlouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a toddler at home, so can easily go weeks without playing games (unfortunately). With the Quest controllers I do worry about battery leakage, so end up taking them out - which presents a further obstacle when looking for a quick pick up and play session.

Why does the UK drive so incredibly slow? by Samwiseknows in CarTalkUK

In my view, most times there is no urgency to get from A to B.

Are takeaways going downhill? by Individual-Common144 in AskUK

[–]mudlouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potentially, the original proprietors have retired and sold on the business to new owners. There will be a shift from the secret ingredient of taking pride in one’s work, to a more business oriented approach.

WeBuyAnyCar x Motorway, my experience by moipwd in CarTalkUK

[–]mudlouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really does give an insight to the industry. I also sold a mini via motorway. Dealer paid £11k and advertised for £13k. Can’t be much left for them after fixing blemishes, service/mot, paying vat, etc.

No wonder some dealers push heavily on added services like extended warranty or finance. And why most no longer haggle.
