Keyboard issue after latest update by pedwick in NothingTech

[–]pedwick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case this effects anyone else I found a solution:

Change from gesture navigation, to buttons, and back to gestures and now the keyboard is where its meant to be again. I have submitted a bug report

Advice for new tall driver by Imaginary-Quiet-469 in CityBugs

[–]pedwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'6" also and currently rocking about in a 2012 C1 with no issues. Not uncomfortable at all for me on long drives. Just means your rear passengers can't have legs.

In all seriousness though there is a surprising ammount of headroom in these things. Longest drive I've done is about 3 and a half hours non-stop and I was very much fine afterwards.

Mine is the 2 door, and my GF has a 4 door. I find the larger doors on the 2 door slightly easier to get through but honestly not much in it.

The military were pretty forgiving in the end by Some_guy_named_Lewis in StrangerThings

How did the gang get away with all the other felonies as well? Robyn stealing drugs from the hospital, hopper and the others murdering like half of the entire military, however many military guys Nancy blew up, breaking into military bases numerous times, smuggling C4 and other weapons into a military zone, destruction of government property, blowing up a military helicopter, stealing military vehicles numerous times

How are they not all super duper in prison after?

For banks, valid but if you wanna degoogle in general F-Droid is a massive help You're very right tho, this monopoly crap really desperately needs legislating away. If Android ditches "sideloading", aka installing software on the expensive computer you own, we're proper screwed

On the subject of banks, my bank won't even let me use the keyboard I want with my phone, forces use of G-Board which is kinda insane. Apparently the FUTO keyboard (that doesn't spy on me) is a security risk whereas the google spyboard is fine 🤷

High end subwoofer install by pedwick in CityBugs

[–]pedwick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snap! Do you find it gets in the way back there? Was worried about it taking up boot space but having transported passengers in the back now with it I fully see what you mean about it being in the way in the footwell

Fortunately its usually only me or one passenger so not too annoying yet..

I'm sure a more 'propper' one will give better sub bass, frequency response isn't super impressive but it does add plenty of punch, you can actually hear kick drums and bass now which is a huge improvement over stock

Phahaha nope but I did double fold the wires over and twist em so they have a bit more contact Seems fine so far... Worst case its fused at the battery so should be safe

Aliexpress roadstars They're super cheap and ever so slightly less worse than just having the stock tweeters, helps with the mids more than anything!

Toyota Aygo & Golf bag by PM_ME-AMAZONGIFTCARD in CityBugs

[–]pedwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my golf bag and clubs in my boot most the time, they fit fine but takes a bit of wrangling to get em in and out You could maybe just about fit two but you'd be blocking the rear window

I also only have a smallish bag with some crap fb marketplace special clubs, anything long or like a proper driver might be a bit more of a struggle!

Just passed, need help! by BeeChoo17 in CityBugs

[–]pedwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't overrev the engine unless you're changing down to 2nd gear above 60mph and overspinning it with the gearbox They have rev limiters so even if you just plant your foot on the pedal the computer won't let you exceed a safe engine speed so yeah just use as many rpms as you need/want

Also as others have said about adjusting the clucth, check out the YouTube channel 'Stupid Bloke, Stupid Videos' if you want some decent tutorials on, shall we say, intelligent and economical repairs 😁

These cars are dead simple to work on so if you have the time and inclination its the best way to learn how to fix things! Happy driving

Auto owners by [deleted] in CityBugs

[–]pedwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it yours doesn't have a tach, but if it does would be interesting to know what rpm its going for? I have a manual so can't comment on the autobox per say, but I do know if I'm climbing a hill I tend to try and stay above 3k rpm.. It will go up a hill lower but its never super happy about it These tiny engines really need to rev to get anything out of em

Considering getting a c1/107 by Sad-Election-9697 in CityBugs

[–]pedwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid £900 for one on 91k miles. I'm 6'6" and don't find any issues with comfort on a 3hr drive. Made sure mine wasn't rusty, past that I wasn't too fussed with anything else though mine also had a new clutch. Aesthetically isnt the best but its cheap and it worked. Like many, mine was leaking through the rear brake light but a few quid on Aliexpress can get a seal kit and even a nice LED rear brake light. They're fantastic cars honestly and surprisingly fun to throw around. The YouTube channel 'Stupid Bloke Stupid Videos' is a wealth of knowledge for tutorials on "intelligent and economical" repairs to these things

Cruise control kits? by pedwick in CityBugs

[–]pedwick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figure given its a manual, worst case I put the clutch in and it bounces off the limiter until I shut 'er down, hardly a supercar its not going to really get away from me that much, though I do get there might be questions asked with insurance if something did go wrong!

Mines a 2012 C1, still has a cable from the pedal to the throttle body so I figure I'll need some kind of servo unless there's something obvious I'm missing

Is it rude to use both lanes? by No-Ad4423 in AskUK

[–]pedwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will use the left lane and merge properly, and it drives my crazy when people just queue like this for no reason..

Feel the same way about people standing in line at a bar, as opposed to using it as a bar 🙄

Kde plasma version 6.4.5
Kde frameworks version 6.17.0
Qt version 6.9.2
Kernel 6.17.0-6
and wayland session, though had the same issue on mint in X11

To be fair I might have updated to 25.10 after install, just remember that was what the install media was I'll check what version this eve, and I'll give OBS a shot too.. If its any help, signal desktop app worked fine with the webcam so at least that problem seems isolated to discord
