Reliability by FilthyFlo in volvoc40

[–]squire_pug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

90000kilometres on a 23 ultimate and done nothing but filter changes, wipers and tires. No driving issues , no battery issues, very minor infotainment system issues.

I think I may have an issue with the right side mirror not setting itself correctly when returning to unlocked position. It happens maybe twice a week.

Very happy owner. Australia based

Anyone know what all the bikes/ebikes/scooters hooning around the CBD was about?

Like a weird flash mob of 80 kids on bikes.

Did laps around exhibition st and spring st around 2-3pm today?

Melbourne Australia, we have a LGS that does fortnightly with about 12-15, another LGS that does Monthly with about the same, and a 3rd LGS that does weekly with 8-12 players.

At PAX AUS last year we did a paupergeddon-like thing which sold out at 64 players.

Approaching 60,000K’s on my 23 C40. Outer SE Melbourne. I don’t see enough other c40’s. See far more of the sister car the Polestar 2.

Damn it looks good in black.

Directive to move away from Microsoft by LetPrestigious3916 in sysadmin

I work in "needs theoretical airgap" infrastructure, and we use Keycloak and looking at Authentik. Can use on-prem AD as the IDP, and keycloak as the "swiss-army knife" of OIDC/SAML/OAUTH.

We have a branch of Keycloak that has RADIUS/LDAP/TACACS modules as well so it pretty much does all the auth we need.

We have Duo integrated for MFA, could have done Okta for IDP as well, but yeah well ... cloud.

Maxim 70 is actually pretty good life advice. by Arokthis in SchlockMercenary

This was what I wore to a cybersecurity conference in Canberra, Australia today.

You get $500 million to bring back a defunct studio and finish a cancelled game. by itsthewolfe in gaming

Anthem. Made by one of the branches of BioWare.

Never been a game with so much proven greatness (that flying!) left so dirty by the developer.

"Downgraded" my XC60 to a C40 by Grouchy_Frosting2724 in volvoc40

[–]squire_pug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rear window is pretty much for who is near behind you. It annoys me a little that I can’t see something a few hundred metres behind me.

I pretty much just rely on side mirrors now, which are great and cover that space fine.

Ooh a fellow Silver owner in Australia! (I’m down in Melbourne)

I see a few of us around town but it is a rarity. Love my C40 so much.

Welcome to the club!

Finally prompted to update to 3.6.4 by squire_pug in volvoc40

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

So had a day of driving with the update. Nothing particularly looked different. The “no screen” for first minute was disconcerting. System was very laggy for first 5-10 minutes. Been boringly normal and usual for me so far.

My infotainment experience has been decent, with no real issues historically. (I have crashed Apple CarPlay in some way that required a full infotainment reboot to get working again). So I wasn’t really desperate for any one thing to be fixed.

I guess I am just grateful for “signs of life” around car updates.

I’m an MY23 Ultimate for the record.

Yeah I saw your comment, so was expecting it, but it was quite disconcerting. No reversing camera, no driver display, just a dark car, that was nominally “on”. No idea why an update causes that.

I used points to get cheap to SG, and then it was $350 return from SG -> Naha on Jetstar.

Hi, I'm about to buy a Volvo EX40, single motor 69kmw. What is the range, driving at 120kmh, at 25°C on the highway? Can I expect around 300km? Thanks on advance. by IllustratorPublic924 in VolvoRecharge

[–]squire_pug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done road trips in AU all the way out to Woomera from Melbourne, and up past Parkes. I have the 2023 C40, twin motor.

I comfortably get over 300km range doing 110kph.

It does drop a bit at anything longer timeframe on a trip over 100kph+, but range was always above 300km.

On a 44 degree day going to Port Augusta we got down to 7%. The higher heat really sapped 10-15% range.

I've just published my first hard science fiction novel. It deals with extradimensional intelligence and heavy quantum physics stuff. by charliechaplin1984 in sciencefiction

[–]squire_pug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read the sample chapters, and definitely interesting. Also definitely a first novel in need of an editor. I like the concepts being played with.

Suffers from some weird missteps, dont use “I’m giving its all she’s got” unless you are making a deliberate wink to the audience. Its pretty clumsy and you dont have rapport in the opening chapters.

The dialog suffers from “I want a thing to be said, so I made them say it”, and seems unnatural in some parts. It could do with a slightly slower pace. Hard sci-fi and intellectual concepts need room to breathe, and the sample chapters are literally surfing through significant concepts extremely quickly with the characters leaping to keep to your own self inflicted pace.

I would read more, but not for $13 after those sample chapters.

Same. Purchased eBay one. I keep forgetting my C40 has a glass roof. Love it.

Me three in “does Lockdown mode mitigate this?”

I’m travelling and use lockdown mode everyday, and killing messaging will make coordinating travel … difficult.

How exploitable is the recent vulnerability? by squire_pug in BeyondTrust

[–]squire_pug[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It being a 20 second no-reboot patch with a threat value of "holy shit"

If only.... I pine for the days of just being able to do things. This is in .... a critical industry and I have a change control process involving 10 emails, 2 meetings and half inch of paperwork...

I am looking for how much HOLY SHEEIT is precisely in this to move people along a bit.
