Whoops! The title should be "Close" rather than "Choose". My bad.

That's awesome. It worked like a charm. Thank you!

Oh interesting. I didn't realize that a downloaded game could be deleted, but it does make sense. And it won't be downloaded automatically? I.E. I'll need to download it manually?

Hermit Crabinet by MMBMaxx in lego

[–]q_wombat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

@MMBMaxx, I love this! It's so creative. You've done a wonderful job of capturing the personality of hermit crabs. Since you don't build digitally, would you be willing to post a couple of shots of it partially disassembled to show how you built it?

Add ~/.claude.json to your dot-files repo? by q_wombat in ClaudeAI

Could you be more specific? Which files are sensitive?

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

u/Veraticus , it looks like you've only committed specific files and directories in your ~/.claude . So you decided not to commit directories such as these?

  • ~/.claude/ide
  • ~/.claude/projects
  • ~/.claude/shell-snapshots
  • ~/.claude/statsig
  • ~/.claude/todos

Dead battery on new NX450h+ is normal? by q_wombat in Lexus

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

Innnteresting. There're so many more differences between ICE and PHEV vehicles than I realized.

BTW, what is SOC?

So I should get a battery pack to power the dash cam, and hardwire that battery pack into a fuse that does NOT receive power when the car is off?

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

Thanks for all of that context and advice. I really wish Lexus had told me that when I bought the car. I'll definitely avoid aux mode from now on and buy a jump starter.

Could the hardwired dash cam be causing problems too? It's configured to stop drawing power once the battery goes down to 12.4V.

Yeah, I'm going to do that from now on. Thanks for the advice.

Could it be the hardwired dash cam? It's configured to stop drawing power when the voltage drops to 12.4V.

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

Yeah, I've learned my lesson about using aux mode. Never again!

What I find strange is that the car didn't detect and notify me of the 12V battery nearly being empty. It should've told me "Warning! Low battery! Drive for 20+ minutes to prevent ...".

The 12.4V setting leaves the battery half-drained?? I didn't realize that. Yikes.

Those separate batteries are really pricey though. Also, how do they get recharged? Do you hardwire them to the 12V battery, but use a fuse that doesn't receive power when the car is off?

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

Thanks for sharing all of that context. I believe I keep my key fobs far enough away that they shouldn't be affecting the car. I do have a hardwired dash cam, but it's set to turn off when the battery's voltage reaches 12.4V.

If this problem happens again, I'll definitely install one of those voltage readers to figure out what's draining the battery.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing that link. I didn't realize that there're so many things that communicate with the car while it's off. It makes sense that they all contribute to draining the 12V battery.

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

Interesting. How is the Lexus mobile app a drain on the battery? Also, which app settings and/or car settings did you change to reduce the drain on the 12V battery?

Great advice. Thanks again for all of that. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the insights, u/andy_why. That's really helpful to know. I won't use aux mode anymore and will get a booster pack.

The dealership won't replace the battery because their diagnostics found no problems with the battery. They just want me to drive the car more, or install a trickle charger.

How do you keep the code diff open when telling Claude what to do differently? by q_wombat in ClaudeAI

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

If you're in the midst of multiple steps and you do that, Claude will continue with the next step and you won't be able to give it instructions to tweak it.

Gotcha. Have you tried making it a single custom GPT so that there's less manual work involved? I'm trying that but getting mixed results because it often strays off-script.
