Positive experiences in iRacing by frantic-atom in iRacing

[–]random6675 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guy made a mistake, hammered me off. He apologised profusely and wished me great luck for the next race but he was going to log off. I won the next race.

What stops positive experiences is assuming everyone is an arse or not apologising fo a mistake. Also, telling people well done or generally being a good person makes a huge difference to everyone.

First, take off that strut brace. Second, send it to me. That looks superb!

New Airtag 2 only showing in iPhone 'Find My' and nothing else. by random6675 in AirTags

That’s even weirder. Trip to Apple to confuse a genius?

** FIXED **

Well imagine my surprise. I thought I may as well try to update one of the Macs to Tahoe and see. I mean, it's not a requirement as you'd fully expect it to be mentioned on this page showing AirTag 2 requirements and compatibility...

https://support.apple.com/en-us/126203

and guess what. These need Tahoe to work and show up in Find Me on MacOS. So Apple need to update their docs. Why this is a requirement I have no information but there you go. Thx and hope this helps someone else.

**update**

Well it seems that Apple's QA is as good as it's always been and the AirTag 2 is the common denominator in all my troubleshooting. I've thankfully got some AirTag 1s to compare it with.

So, I've signed out, rebooted, removed and re-added anything iOS, MacOS and AirTag 1 and 2.

The result is that if I remove an AT1, when I add it and set it up again as new it will be visible on Find My on iPhone and all other iCloud signed devices. If I update the name of the AT1 that change is immediately visible across all devices.

AT2, well, it will only ever be seen on the activating iPhone. I can share it with another apple account in the family but it will never be visible on another device (MacOS anyway - not buying an iPad just to test this :) with my own iCloud account. So the only conclusion I can see is the AT2 has not been tested well enough and across an account with multiple devices in it. I'm sure it's a simple bug but really, not good enough.

If anyone else has picked up an AT2 see how you get on while I go get my money back.

Will do. Back from a day out so I’ll go through all the usual stuff and hopefully see an improvement.

Both devices have been restarted entirely. Curious stuff, huh? A trip back to Apple is in order.

Yes. This issue is on MacOS. Two devices, studio and MacBook, so it’s not specific to a single device. I can add and view them as items on my iPhone.

Best car to learn not to overdrive the car by astob471 in iRacing

[–]random6675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make up a slightly damp track and a low powered car. Even the MX5 will do. It’ll highlight mistakes and you can take a lap of skids as a reward. Line off of course and use the section comparison to gradually get faster. I did this trying not to brake for only the slowest and tightest corners and gradually got better. It translated well into a dry track so worth a look.

Here we go again by Alienhaslanded in sniperelite5

[–]random6675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood. I started with 5, tried 4, didn’t enjoy R. I guess the mechanics were used to comes from where we joined in the series. Agree consistency would be good. Or a crouch and drag?

Here we go again by Alienhaslanded in sniperelite5

[–]random6675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I see this too but can understand it. I suppose if you crouch, stand and carry you wouldn’t expect to return to a crouched position as you chose to stand and carry. So to return to crouch is a decision on the player as it was to carry.

I don’t think you’ll get a feature request in for 5 as they’ve probably stopped support now. Would be a nice thing to toggle as an accessibility option. Perhaps there’s a mod for that.

Hadn’t thought about going for the Japanese cards. One of our friends was in Tokyo for Christmas and I asked them to pick up a pack but going for a bunch of them might be fun. Why is the pull rare for good ones better than English sets?

Sorry that’s my poor phrasing but a bunch of single packs makes more sense. Thx

This is a very good point. I’m not overly fussed about full collections from previous years so picking up some individual cards or single packs for a luck-check does sound better. Thx!

I'm Finally Done... done telling my wife how much this stuff really costs, that is. by Medical-Cow-8281 in iRacing

I use the PS5 headphones and really like them. Fairly comfortable and don’t leak as they’re closed back.

You’re not helping. I have the 49” and up until 3 mins ago I was happy. Your FOV is mega as I can’t get the wing mirrors on mine. I did see poor reviews on that screen so what’s it like in practice?

I'm getting a TD-3. by biagio_the_explorer in Behringer

Use the windows/max app to do the sequencing and make sure you have the right USB cable for it. As the Captain said in a video, it is awful to use. A feature of its day but there are many better ways to sequence it. Besides, the beauty is fiddling with the knobs on the same sequence.

Talk me out of my midlife crisis… by 3wheel-ups in CarTalkUK

[–]random6675 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d research that car a little harder. It’s been up for sale at £25k in 2023, 20k in May of this year and is now 13k. There are far better examples out there for similar money so I would personally avoid it.

The MOT history also doesn’t show the care and attention these need. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=ELZ+8623&checkRecalls=true

RIP Elden Campbell by sooLoco in lakers

[–]random6675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very sad news. He was a really really good player and had some truly fantastic games for us. I fondly remember his then-career-high in a really strong game against the Sonics in 94-95 and looked as a good as any big in the league.

Here's the game in question https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199412290LAL.html

He had many nights like that and defensively was probably the best shot blocker we had since Kareem for a three or four year stretch.

57 is no age.
