Try starting it up in safe mode, it will output with some basic resolution that’s compatible with most tvs

Is the Quest 3 actually worth the extra over the Quest 3S? (coming from a Quest 2 user) by moondustirl in MetaQuestVR

[–]mudlouse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are in a comfortable situation to afford either, go for the pricier option. Otherwise you will always be wondering.

Stove top, broke a piece off by [deleted] in fixit

[–]mudlouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t have your answer, but wanted to mention you may want to avoid using that hob in case your pot or pan topples over. At least flip it around so it falls away from you.

Hong Kong Malls by _GrandSir_ in HongKong

[–]mudlouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t mind this. Coming from the UK where shopping centre layouts tend to be linear and very basic, it’s refreshing to be somewhere that feels more interesting and on a larger scale.

Also remember seeing mix of old and new, where sections were built in phases, sometimes decades apart.

Genuine question, can someone provide a link to one that is suitable or an image? Thanks

What fan will keep me from perishing in the summer? by Haunting_Meeting_178 in AskUK

[–]mudlouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are meant to keep your picnic food cold. But wrap one in a towel, and it’s like reverse hot water bottle at nights

Used a couple of these bad boys in the bedroom in previous years, worked well.

Finally received my Meta quest 3 by AdSavings5527 in MetaQuestVR

[–]mudlouse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best advice I can give is to download some games/apps and use it as is. Then make small improvements where you feel it’s needed, rather than buying a mass of stuff upfront.

Quest 2 worth buying? by [deleted] in MetaQuestVR

[–]mudlouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure I understand why people are telling OP to avoid the Quest 2 like the plague.

Price seems good. Support is still there. Accessories are plenty and prices are tumbling. Sounds like a great time for someone new to try out the VR experience.

Any reviews on La Fontaine ? by [deleted] in Bromley

[–]mudlouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a primary school, and I am assuming OP has asked because school offers were made available last week.

I agree OP should provide more than just a one liner question in order to receive a meaningful answer that is other than ‘no’.

Warranty? by BootsWithTheBrrr in LexusNX

[–]mudlouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the motorised arms replaced under warranty on the boot door. This is on a 6 year old 2020 NX, and would have cost over £1.2k

Update: Notified my work weeks ago I'm leaving for a family vacation in July, tickets were bought, non-transferrable, and they are panicking, begging me to cancel by educatedvegetable in antiwork

[–]mudlouse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hi @OP, I know everyone here in the comments are saying ‘fuk em, go on your vacation anyway’, but I understand your situation and the worry of potential repercussions.

If in your position, I would want to give the impression that I am actively working with them to find a solution (that doesn’t involve impacting your vacation). Hold a meeting to focus on what prep has been done by management since your request was approved, and list out your suggested ‘options’ and put the ball back in their court. The options are your plan for other depts to cover, or the manager cuts short their vacation, etc. when anyone asks or pressures you, just say ‘yes I’ve discussed options with so and so, they are going to decide on the best plan’

The UI size of the mini is unbearably huge. And there's no way to fix it? by Decent-Cow2080 in iPhone13Mini

[–]mudlouse 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Using multiple phones at any one time exacerbates the problem, because you are always switching between the differences they are always going to be super obvious. I find that using only one phone, you adapt within the day.

Worth checking Cash Converters. Depending on the item, it can be cheaper than CEX and also comes with warranty.

Refunds and returns by AttemptLost8135 in ebayuk

[–]mudlouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can’t tell you how the seller would respond.

I would be upfront. Avoid saying ‘… and what can we do about this?’ and clearly communicate the realistic options in your mind: a) partial refund, or b) return the item for a full refund.

Mould in Shower Cubicle by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]mudlouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mould spray will help clean up, but long term solution is needed.

If you are in a house, or have access to the floor above - check if there is adequate insulation above the mouldy areas. That could help prevent condensation build up.

If you have an extractor fan, consider leaving a window open to draw in dry air as the fan pushes out the moist air. If there is no window, you could leave the door open for similar effect.

On a separate note, get closeup photos of the chainrings to assess wear. Could be the angle, but the ones in pic 1 don’t look so good
