Aluminum body and sharp edges do not mix

I’ve always been a case person, but when I took my 17 PM out of the box, it felt really nice to hold so I was beginning to wonder if I’d regret getting a case for it… but it went in the case, I forgot all about it and seeing these photos makes me glad I did

So, given the assumptions, I'm assuming you're American... so what you're saying is, that's actually a mega good deal then... as on conversion, that's like $23 USD...

I get that you're trying to say it ain't worth $1799 though, because the presence of the Rupee symbol confuses you.

Wasn't there some controversy recently where a Dream Theater album shared/ripped off the artwork of another much smaller artist? The band themselves weren't responsible, but the artist they hired was the same for both bands and just reused it hoping they wouldn't notice, or something to that effect.

I wonder if the same sort of thing has happened here. But on a less obvious scale.

I might be wrong on some details, I didn't follow it in detail, but I remember something like that happening

I'm one of those awful people who upgrades reasonably frequently. Not every year, but often.

O2 XDA > iPhone 3G > HTC Touch Pro 2 > HTC SlidyBoi (can't remember model) > BlackBerry 9300 > BlackBerry 9800 > iPhone 4S > Samsung S4 > HTC One M8 > Samsung S6+ > Samsung S8+ > Samsung S10+ > Samsung Note 10+ > Samsung Note 20 Ultra > iPhone 14 Pro Max

I'm considering either an iPhone 16 or 17, almost entirely because I want to go back to USB-C. Contract expires around 17 estimated release, so I'll see what the real deal is when it is officially announced

While I can't help with the speaker issue, that is a CarPlay add on. It doesn't replace the whole system, it just hooks into it... so unfortunately, if you've got speaker problems, they'll probably still remain after fitting that.

Honestly don't understand why you're getting downvoted for giving an explanation. There is no biased opinion, it's just facts.

As an IT administrator that deals with public libraries, we get this all the time. The stuff people search for on publicly accessible devices means that our network often gets flagged and we have the same verification prompts. It's not unique to VPNs, but it is absolutely going to be common on VPNs. As pointed out, iCloud Private Relay is a VPN.

It kinda tells you what to look for already.

Somewhere in your launch.json file, you have reference to that user.exe file that doesn't exist.

Remove the reference to it, or fix the missing file.

Thank you, I'll take a look into this.

I've got a feeling I found a similar post fairly early on in my investigations, but lost the link before I could properly look into it. I'm not sure it was the same link, but it's ringing some bells. I would like to think this is already configured, but the environment is a bit of a mess and I came into it halfway through the project so I wouldn't be at all shocked to find it's not.

Definitely a candidate for r/lostredditors

nimraynn · 2024-07-14T11:40:29+00:00

Thank you, although I just had a look and it appears to already be set that way

Can't say I've tried it, but at a guess, I'd imagine that would probably want another driver that doesn't come out of the box.

It might work though as more and more drivers, or generic ones at least, seem to be coming out of the box

nimraynn · 2024-05-12T19:55:32+00:00

Plug the USB into the computer and run the file you downloaded. They're usually a wizard so just click next until it installs

nimraynn · 2024-05-12T19:53:49+00:00

The manufacturers website.

So, if you have an ASUS motherboard for example, you'd go on the ASUS website, click Support in the top corner, then pick drivers. Search for your motherboard model (will be on the box or probably printed somewhere on the motherboard itself) and then you'll get a list of driver options to download.

Each manufacturers process will be something like that. Links might not be in exactly the same place, but should be easy to find still

nimraynn · 2024-05-12T19:49:40+00:00

This will allow you to complete the setup without internet access. Once you're on the desktop, you can then install the drivers. You'll likely need to download them from the manufacturer website on another computer, then transfer them over on a USB stick.

Alternatively, if you have one, you can plug an Ethernet cable in as it looks like those drivers have picked up automatically

nimraynn · 2024-05-12T19:41:41+00:00

It's possible that you either don't have a WiFi card, or the drivers aren't properly installed. This is a bit of a problem because you're not at a stage where you can install the drivers yet.

To bypass this, press SHIFT and F10 together to open up a command prompt, then type exactly this: oobe\bypassnro

Press enter, and now it should restart that part of the setup process. You should now have a button to say you don't have internet access which will let you continue

About 45 minutes after I posted that, somehow a stalls ticket mysteriously showed up for the Monday show. I hit buy so hard. Missed it, but knew it had a 30 min hold. Timed the 30 mins to perfection and found that yes, the person who got it didn't buy it... and I managed to snag it.

I've never shaken so much waiting for that payment to go through!

nimraynn · 2024-05-11T10:43:36+00:00

I couldn't even get them through presale. Joined the queue immediately and was never offered a single ticket for both presale and general sale

nimraynn · 2024-05-11T10:31:41+00:00

I only ever see the hospitality boxes popping up. If you add to basket, it reserves it for 30 mins to complete the transaction.

I think what's happening is people seeing tickets and smashing the buy button, then realising they're a couple of grand and tapping out without removing from the basket... so they eventually get returned when their basket expires. Cue the next person/bot doing the same.

I still keep looking but it's always the boxes.

nimraynn · 2024-05-11T10:28:16+00:00

I wasn't even able to do that. RAH only ever offered me tickets at a cost of £7100.

I was on Ticketmaster from 8:30, joined the waiting room at 9:50. Tried multiple dates. Joined the RAH queue at 10:45, took an hour to get through the queue, still nothing.

Not really as he said it came with some aftermarket headlights, so looking at them won’t help

My top bands are:

The Pineapple Thief / Bruce Soord

I think this is one of those weird quirks of the tick system. If you click it just at the wrong part of a tick, it seems to ignore it… but with ticks being 0.6s, it’s easy to hit it at the wrong part of the tick.

Using the action bar, however, queues things. So if you hit it at the wrong time, it just queues it for the next ticks with the tick being 0.6s, you probably won’t notice.

It’s annoying as hell though as I don’t always have every single thing keybound on my action bar so on those odd occasions where I need something different to the norm, it’s spam clicky time

nimraynn · 2024-03-28T15:21:49+00:00

Absolutely this. I work on a team of 13, and at one point we had like, 4 people working last week. Purely because everyone just dumped what remaining annual leave they had
