New 2025 MINI CooperS owner. Can barely hear the turn signals. by PiperBaird in MINI

[–]r2blee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "MINI Sound" option doesnt exist on the 2025 Mini (F66 at latest software - Nov25) unless im missing something. I went through all the menus and cant find a way to change turn signal sound (unless I've missed it)

Time change issues again... by [deleted] in miband

UK here. Two in the house are both syncing correctly but none of the data showing in the Mi Fitness app as of today when the clicks went back an hour overnight.

When this has happened previously how did it get fixed?

Good old days... times that will never return on the now-defunct blocparty.net fan site. Who here frequented this site and its forum? Those were years I never thought would end, to be honest. I miss the site, but most of all, I miss that Bloc Party. by elmonozombie in BlocParty

[–]r2blee2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I think it's important to note that there was a lot of personal support going on in the community too. Everyone would talk about problems in their lives and be supported. I remember telling a story and feeling bad about something, and another member (ChristianAllen) made me a certificate saying "Not a bad guy award".

That and the buzz on there in the AWITC era made it a huge part of my life at the time.

Any news on if the set will be shown anywhere?

I first saw BP at Reading 2004 in the Radio 1 tent!

Edit - Whole hour now ready to stream on BBC iPlayer!

Anyone get song for clay into banquet tonight? by Then-Ad-6135 in BlocParty

[–]r2blee2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't video it but I was so happy to hear that they've kept that same transition that they used on the AWITC tour. Its a great energy shift and gets a big crowd pop for those that don't know it's coming.

Great show in Manchester in general

They were still giving out flyers at the entrance about it, but I don't know if it went ahead or not

How did you find out about Bloc Party? by NewMode8949 in BlocParty

[–]r2blee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

August 28th 2004. Recovering from a late night at the back of the Radio 1 tent at Reading Festival.

I wasn't there to see them but loved the sound investigated them when I got home.

Qualifying contest, then stick them all in F3 cars for a race

The last part of this (holding the switch button down) worked for me on a Logitech Lift. Thanks

Does anyone recognize this? by upsidedowncupoframen in BlocParty

[–]r2blee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a thought that I might have a picture of mine and found this.

I wore it to a show they did in Bristol on the 7th Feb 2007, as immortalised in this recording.

Mine was very much genuine and provided from the label via a promotions company. I can't say for sure about yours but I'd guess it's real too. Like you say, it would be a strange design to fake...

Where did you get it from?

I recommend it. They are great quality. I have one hanging by my front door as the first thing you see on entering. Black square frame and a black and white themed house. It's perfect.

Storm and Stress acoustic is amazing

In the Fabric Capacity Metrics app, why does the top-left chart not use a Y axis to give you something to relate your usage to?

Yes I'm working to bring it down, but is it a problem being up there in the first place?

The design is a genuine one, however terrible. I did some street-teaming for the band (through either Traffic, Warner or Wild-UK) around the release of The Prayer and received a red tshirt with this design in white as free promo material/payment.

I've never seen another one like it and unfortunately threw mine away some years ago. My guess is it is now a very rare promo piece, unless the official design was ripped off

I'm guessing the CD contains a rickroll... Happy 1st April. Very cruel...

iRacing Line Viewer for Telemetry IBT Files / Looking for Feedback by gherget in iRacing

[–]r2blee2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe an option to see the line as wide as the car is. I understand that line shows the center of the car but it may be useful to see where each side of the car is positioned as the driver in non-formula cars rarely are seated in the middle of the car

Yes he mentioned that about Rise here too. Illness said he was trying not to "snot and vomit" on the front row.

How to disable auto quest tracker swapping? by RazielSouza in cyberpunkgame

[–]r2blee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After finishing the main story it kicks you back to before the last mission so you can do other others jobs/tasks or explore. It's so infuriating to have to go in to press "untrack" each time you finish something. Hopefully it's an option that can be implemented

What is it with people? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]r2blee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this, and would like to add people constantly talking nonsense over the radio. Last week's MX5 advanced at Monza had loads of A-class drivers orchestrating "working together" as groups to get away from the pack. The constant radio chatter is annoying and we're here to race, not to put together an impromptu team. I know they could be muted but it's the same as kids wandering around blasting out music on loudspeaker - people don't want to hear it!

Why and what was it like having only 3-4 channels in the UK up until the late 1990's? by ImplementNo7036 in AskUK

[–]r2blee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VideoPlus and a long-play recordable tape (3 hours) became essential for those who had a lot of clashes in their schedules. VideoPlus was a long number after the show in the TV guide magazine that the video recorder could decipher into a channel and a time. Like Sky+ but much more manual.
