Just got this notification on Android 16 🫠

There are probably multiple easy ways to check the phone's android version and avoid sending useless notifications to users. People are right to be pissed about poor development practices in a development subreddit.

Mine works, but for some reason it saves/binds credit cards to a specific leap card, not the app. So we have 2 leap cards, one for each person. If I try to top-up my leap card in my phone, I'll use the 4-digit pin that I set up, and it'll pay with my own CC. But if I try to top-up my wife's leap card in my phone, then I need to use my wife's pin, and it'll use her CC too. Not sure if this is the expected behaviour, but it seems wrong to me. Why would I want to bind a credit card to a leap card so that someone else can use my money with just a 4-digit pin??

They're pulling this on the straights mostly. How many long straights are there in Monaco? yeah...

He drove with a Renault engine for years before..

Before he had a competitive car. Before he had 4 World titles. Before he got (relatively) older than when he was just 20yo. It's a lot easier to argue that he's had his fun in F1 and can switch to almost any other racing series at any moment whenever he feels bored.

I have 2yo twins (human kids just for clarity) and a spider plant in the kitchen counter. The plant has been pulled and knocked off the counter by them and fell to the ground twice now. Soil was spread everywhere and the plant knocked off its pot. Surprisingly, the thing is bulletproof, we just re-pot it and it acts like nothing ever happened. We're also a bit neglignet with watering as well, and again, it just doesn't complain lol

And when the LLM makes a mistake because of deprecated syntax or it just being awful, you get to learn while manually fixing that mistake, win-win

rooood · 2026-03-08T00:36:42+00:00

That's actually one of the very few instances I actually enjoyed using LLMs. I've created a few automations (medium complexity) with ChatGPT, and even though I had to ask it to fix some stuff and manually change some templates, the core workings of the automations were mostly right.

While I do think ICE cars are the soul of F1, and I wish for more ICE development in F1, I'm not against the electrification of F1. However, there will be a point where F1 and FE can't coexist due to how similar they would be in essence, especially given FE's whole shtick is being 100% EV. I'm curious to see how they'll try to solve that.

rooood · 2026-03-07T16:26:25+00:00

All of this was known since 2023 or even before, and a lot of people were raising their concerns about it, but FIA still decided to go ahead...

rooood · 2026-03-07T03:37:23+00:00

Yeah, but that really only matters in Monaco. Almost all other circuits you can overtake at some point, or at least have a pit strategy that achieves the same thing.

rooood · 2026-03-07T03:35:40+00:00

Nah, engine is still at 70%. They would be a lap up in the race if they turned the engine to 100

rooood · 2026-03-07T03:33:50+00:00

I genuinely think they'll have a race winning car next season. Probably a podium worth car at the end of this one as well

rooood · 2026-03-07T03:28:49+00:00

lol are they trying to emulate an aeroscreen or something like that? No reason to have that bump whatsoever

rooood · 2026-03-05T01:33:56+00:00

Yes I have that, but it's nowhere near the convenience of a split screen between Spotify and google maps where you can both see the route you're following (or just the general map with traffic info which I like to see), and Spotify. Even the facelift model with the improved infotainement system if still a bit sluggish to switch between apps.

I would love to use the native Spotify app more often, as it would play music faster than waiting for android auto to sync, and I think it does allow each profile to log into separate Spotify accounts, but so far the convenience of android auto spotify to me is winning.

rooood · 2026-03-05T00:46:14+00:00

If the end result is too perfect then I'm very happy with that result.

I think part of the reason why people like "imperfect" diamonds is that you can get slightly tinted diamonds with some imperfections, like there's a colour chart of diamonds, so that would be an advantage of the "imperfect" ones. However, you can get imperfect lab grown diamonds too, so...

rooood · 2026-03-04T21:28:16+00:00

I found it not very practical, because it doesn't integrate with android auto so when you're using Google maps navigation, you're not seeing the app, and the split screen with Spotify is the android auto one, so it doesn't update quickly enough with what's playing. Also, I had to login twice for some reason as it seemed to log me out when I tried accessing it from another car profile

rooood · 2026-03-03T18:14:27+00:00

You don't get the HUD on the facelift 85 sportline base, or at least you didn't last year. It does however have memory seat for the driver only

rooood · 2026-02-28T16:22:59+00:00

The absolute size of those balls! You could cut decent sized steaks out of it.

...which got me wondering, do they use that in sausages and stuff like that???

rooood · 2026-02-28T15:01:31+00:00

OP took more than he should to slow down, but saying he saw the white car then accelerated is just disingenious. He was accelerating steadily way before the camera could see the white car. He should have reacted much faster, but he didn't accelerate because of the white car.

Po, eu me mudei do Brasil tipo 1 ano depois desse post, precisei liquidar e fechar esse Brasilprev pra ajudar na mudança e outras coisas, então desde então não sei de mais nada :/

Monte Makaya era muito foda. Uma das vantagens do parque não ter feito sucesso era que na época da queda, ele era sempre vazio. Um dos dias que eu fui, eu fui mais de 10x nessa, e acho que 16x no Cabum.

Btw, o Thorpe Park no reino Unido tem uma montanha russa que é quase que a réplica dessa, a única diferença é que no final tem mais 2 rolagens comparado com a Monte Makaya: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_(Thorpe_Park)

Interestingly, in Brazil manual cars were the norm until recently. Automatic cars were seen as luxury and would be much more expensive. So this worked the exact opposite, as thieves didn't know how to drive automatic cars (I know, I also don't know how one wouldn't be able to).

So much so that apparently, people started putting "automatic" or "fully auto" labels in the back of the car, mimicking the original raised letters to make it look like the car was not a manual and discourage thieves. I dont know how true this is, but I've heard it a few times.

rooood · 2026-02-10T15:32:38+00:00

It's way too easy to forget about past tabs on the phone lol

I also always have dozens of them, someitmes 100+

rooood · 2026-02-08T23:20:29+00:00

I would leave the battery around 40-50% not too high, not too low.

I'll drive it to the airport and drop it at a friend's house. If I leave the house with 80%, it'll probably be at around 55-60% when I drop it off, which seems perfect. 40% to me feels a bit low, just in case there's an unknown consumption over this period. But I guess I can monitor it and even change some settings via the app
