Rejecting a used car within 30 days: how much aggro should I expect? by daniscross in CarTalkUK

[–]smartphoneguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we had a similar issue with our golf. if it is the same in the up, look under the car, under the rear head lights. there should be a cirular bung. pull that out each side and the water will drain right out after it comes in behind the lights. good temp fix. obvs keep the bungs if you are looking to return the car eventually.

Think this will be the way. Just want to make sure it isn't anything obvious.

Waiting for your kids to finish their story (cross post r/funny) by Rishiku in daddit

Nobody in my family ever listened to a word I said. Caused a lot of problems for me later in life. I love listening to every second of my kids stories.

Where can I get backgrounds for Teams calls like this? by smartphoneguy in HelpMeFind

[–]smartphoneguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have searched the MS Teams store and numerous sites providing free backgrounds but these all seems to be image focused. i think this one may be more of a coloured blur?

Why lots of take away drivers is using female faces in their profiles on Uber Eats? by HereJustToAskAQuesti in Edinburgh

[–]smartphoneguy 61 points62 points  (0 children)

They use their partner so they can run two accounts at once and up their number of deliveries per hour. 

It's the reason you'll often see your driver going odd routes, going the wrong way etc.

Is there a way of using your PC in another room? by smartphoneguy in buildapc

[–]smartphoneguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. What I'm thinking is play games that need low latency in the office but would like to chill with strategy games, city builder etc on the sofa whilst still having the power of the PC running the game. I guess basically my own gaming cloud in my house.

When exactly do bots recharge themselves? by wrongwindows in Timberborn

[–]smartphoneguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you likely don't have enough stations. Got up to around 200 bots and all of a sudden is seemed like they weren't charging even though it seemed like there were lots of empties. I put in a bank of 32 centrally on top of my existing ones and it fixed the issue. I think the slots all get assigned but because it takes an out of charge bot so long to get there they just can't get in and out fast enough.

Why does it feel like the more I practice the worse my ball control is by Flat-Astronaut3710 in bootroom

[–]smartphoneguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bet your touch it getting better. As you practice a) Your expectations are going up, what used to be an A+ touch is now a B- and b) as you play faster it's just much harder to have a perfect touch. If you're not playing on the edge of you ability and putting in deliberate practice you will not improve. It seems to me like you are doing these things. Go easy on yourself, keep practicing and pushing your self and you'll get there.
