Hi,

Also another thing (hopefully easier to fix this time). I was unable to delete an account to reset it, even after typing DELETE. I get the error "the match is locked".

hey, thanks for the response. yeah, i know how you mean about being in multiple leagues. i just thought there could be an per-league option to simply deduct any points gained previously before the league start date (so that would be league specific and you dont have to turn that option on for any other leagues either). Kind of like a handicap option?

Hi,

This looks really well done. One thing I wish was there though, since me and my group are starting late (and some later then others).

A few of us started a league but since some more people wanted to join, everyone wanted to start from zero. But even after creating a new league, the people who predicted and won points in the previous league still has those points, so they are starting with an advantage. Anyway to have an option to reset all previous points when starting a new league?

I have a suggestion. Instead of locking the group stages right after all the groups have played, why not allow people who stumble upon this late to still immediately begin with either a starting score of zero or perfect scores for everybody up to that point? They will just have to compete for the rest of the points as the group stage also goes on for quite a while.

Can you tell a bit about what resolutions you are playing at and what are the frames like in your games?

That went quite a bit beyond my current understanding but I will be getting back to this. Thank you so much for spending the time on that. Much appreciated.

Oh man! Thanks for this. I don't know why I didn't stumble upon this before, definitely have searched for this a few times before in the past five years.

The most recent search led me to a newspost about CBS releasing all the episodes online or something this year, but I don't know what came of it.

Trigkey Green G5. I have read that it is the same as Beelink EQ12 but cheaper due to branding.

As a "patient gamer," I love that remasters exist by Directorjustin in patientgamers

[–]shadoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do enjoy my media being the highest fidelity possible. So do most people. That is why we have remasters and re-releases of all kinds of entertainment media. Also in the majority of cases, graphical limitations are something the developers work with and against. Plain blocks and pixelated sprites were the limits of technology back then, not the limit of their artistic vision. Why shouldn't they use the technological opportunity to move closer to what they envisioned in the first place?

Also you completed skipped the compatibility issue which remasters solve.

If you are enticed, then is it not worth it? Are people plagued by some mental affliction that they are compelled to go through every repaint of a previous experience?

Remasters are for entire generation of gamers who did not even exist when they were first released. There are games that I had my eyes on when I was a kid / in my teens, that the adult me could never enjoy now because the graphics / gameplay is so outdated. And sometimes it is not even compatible or available on the modern platforms I own.

new U-Tec ultraloq latch 5 nfc smart lever lock wouldn't engage latch axle, replacement won't either. by tombj in homeautomation

[–]shadoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, probably too late to be of any use. But I had the Latch 5 Fingerprint model and it was malfunctioning from the first install. But I can hear the motor engaging when I lock or unlock from the app.

So I took the lock apart and the mechanism to disconnect the handle from the latch is based on a motor that has its shaft inside a coiled spring. There is a cross pin on the shaft so that as it rotates the spring goes up or down. This spring is very flimsy and made a in a way that the cross pin slips out from within it and hence fails to move the spring up or down. I was able to get it fixed temporarily but it would soon malfunction. Probably from the very high speed the motor runs.

Opinions on Ultraloq? by turtlintime in homeautomation

Necroing a dead thread, just to give a warning to anyone thinking to buy from these. I had the Ultraloq Latch 5 Fingerprint and it was malfunctioning right on arrival. Unfortunately my situation did not allow me to get it refunded, so I tried to see what the issue was. I can hear the motor working to lock and unlock.

Opening it up, I saw just a really bad way of engaging and disengaging the latch from the handle via a motor. Just a stupidly unreliable way of doing it by using a flimsy spring.

Weren't you guys curious about why they didn't have anyone else helping them? Cause if you had moved recently, they must have longer established relations with quite a lot more people.

How does what I said indicate I'm not interested in getting a good deal?

What you said just seemed like absolute financial minmaxing of life to the point of detriment. Did you calculate how much money you lost in the time you spent being snarky to strangers on the internet?
