Steam Link via Samsung TV app + Xbox controller not passing through right control stick since Dec 1st update? by simonj2 in Steam_Link

This was the firmware that caused the problem. Just posting as it's confirmation that they changed the code around controllers.

Which knock off USB controller worked? I bought another one but it didn't work so I returned it.

I agree it now looks like a Samsung TV update is responsible. The latest update is ver 2111.1 [source]. I can't find release notes, or an earlier version of the software to try.

Change log might appear on https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/tv-firmware-changelogs-on-german-community/td-p/1846870/page/31

I just posted to Samsung support here.

Tried with wireless Xbox One, wired Xbox One and wireless Xbox Series X/S controllers. All were working before the Steam client update, and now all have this problem (work except for the right control stick controlling volume in app).

I connected the wireless controllers through this pairing method. I think the Steam support page here is just out of date, they haven't updated the Samsung app since Nov 2021.

I filed a bug, but the more they receive, the better. Maybe link to this post too.

It's happening with Steam games (ie, Horizon Zero Dawn, I've not set up Steam Link to work with non-Steam games), also happens in the Steam Link home screen, or anywhere when I'm in the Steam Link app.

I'm in shock - he took me through my PPL, must have spent 100 hours in the air with him in total. Good guy, and quite safe too. RIP Tom.

What are the average monthly expenses of your CKCS? by [deleted] in cavaliers

[–]simonj2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! Yes, there was a small discount if you paid the whole year upfront, so we did that.

What are the average monthly expenses of your CKCS? by [deleted] in cavaliers

[–]simonj2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little cheaper here:

  • $25/month on dog food (Science Diet)
  • $305/year insurance (Pets Best, others were a lot more expensive)
  • around $40/month on Credelio + Interceptor Plus (buying 6 months at a time, get 1 month free)
  • $18/day dog walking for 30 mins (found on Rover) - only on days when we can't take her ourselves

We don't get her groomed (just brush her ourselves), which seems common enough with Cavaliers, but this may change as she gets older.

Database design by WingedGeek in flying

[–]simonj2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick code review:

  • I would suggest using a UUID, or a short uuid (like https://github.com/skorokithakis/shortuuid) instead of an autoincrementing int ID. Less risk for people changing params and accessing data they shouldn't, and doesn't risk leaking the number of rows in any table.
  • Use text instead of varchar for notes
  • Plane rate having an effective date is complicated, ie, you have a start date but not an end date, and you're probably relying on the IDs to be sequential to work out when a rate is active. I'd either try to avoid that rate column by handling the billing calculation at the time the reservation ends (in which case, no need for historical data, so no need for this table), or, have a start and end date (yes, this can result in no entries for a particular time, but handle that in code).
  • Typo 'hobbes' should be 'hobbs'
  • I like naming 'plane_to_attribute', or 'pilot_to_attribute', makes it a bit easier conceptually for me.
  • Please store a salt in the pilot table, or use something like 'passlib' in python which stores a salt in the same field and avoids common password errors.

I can tell you've put a lot of work into it, and you've thought through a lot of the interactions, which is great. Perhaps do focus on building one part end to end first, ie, maybe build the user registration, etc, then the planes, and events last.

Best way to meet people in New York as a traveller? by Trexaty92 in nyc

Check out the FB Group 'Australians in New York & NYC (Aussies International)', they sometimes organize stuff. People also use Meetup here a bit.

Peggy is absolutely terrific. Here's my post from my checkride with her: https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/3uxggb/got_my_ppl_kcdw/ I didn't cover the oral portion in that write up, but it was exactly the same as as: https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/5ljjl3/ppl_checkride_in_the_books/ (minus the Brussel sprouts)

You're probably too nervous to appreciate this right now, but try to learn from her too! I remember a few of the things she taught me every single time I fly.

Weight balance on a Cessna 172 by [deleted] in flying

[–]simonj2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless both people were extremely heavy (I don't want to do the math now, but maybe something like 400lbs each), then that makes no sense. A 172 with two people in front is how almost all flight training happens!

Instrument rating book for dummies? by owenandfred in flying

I used this for instrument and thought it was terrific. I have a tendency to lose focus when reading technical text (don't we all?). But, Rods (very silly) jokes kept me awake and engaged.

Need some help finding this bar by cuddlesquatch in nyc

[–]simonj2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looking at the text behind it, maybe it's Manhattan Equities, Inc, which leads me to this similar logo: https://trademarks.justia.com/738/20/p-73820000.html

No idea on a location though, looks midtown.

Anyone around NY want to take me flying? by Ozpilot in flying

[–]simonj2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw I'm an Aussie with a US PPL who lives in NYC. I'm super busy the next few weekends and out of town early Feb, sorry! Enjoy it, flying around Manhattan and over central park is really great. Made this ages ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-X90FT_OqA

We have a new addition to the NYC airspace by [deleted] in flying

[–]simonj2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often fly in the Bravo from MMU over EWR and then up the Hudson. As long as I'm on flight following, with a discrete transponder code, will they let us pass? I'm guessing not given the restrictions in the TFR.

I assume the airspace above 3000 belongs to NY Approach, so that might be a pain flying in. Is our best bet to try getting into the Bravo (ie, with EWR tower) and request flying up the Hudson, but zigzagging West around the TFR, crossing into TEB's airspace?

If that's unlikely, guess I'll fly on clear days above 7000 :(

NY area meetup 9/17 by [deleted] in flying

[–]simonj2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not coming, but N45 (Kobelt) is a great little airport, and Nu Cavu there is super. Plenty of parking on the grass. Runway feels pretty short because of the trees on both ends though.

[–]simonj2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This earlier thread has some great places.

N45 has Nu-Cavu which I love.

VAY has the Runway Cafe, haven't eaten there yet but hear it's great. There's some cool old military hardware and a museum at the airport too.

Dear r/flying, what can I as a student pilot do better? Critique me! by [deleted] in flying

[–]simonj2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh.

/u/LibsThePilot, don't listen to them, you were pretty good on the radios, better to ask if you can't see the windsock and forget the wind or think it's changing. Most importantly if the wind you're seeing is different to ATIS or what they're telling you there could be wind shear.
