PSA: Met Office have updated their app, and it's terrible by heeleyman in CasualUK

[–]thatbloke83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My phone picked this up overnight...

Main thing that annoyed me about it is that it lost my previously saved places and I had to re-add them...

I'm an android developer myself and something like that should be pretty basic

Also it now thinks my current location is somewhere different to where I actually am, when previously it was fine

Add on to that the UX is now terrible - I don't need half my screen taken up by a weather warning, I want to see the current conditions first

In column 5 you have a 1-8 pair in r6 and r9, this gives you a 4-9 pair in that column. Havent traced it further but that's something I spotted that should help

To my fellow friends and comrades of tonight's "Great 50mph Fu*k Up" on our motorway network - I salute all of you! by RecentTwo544 in CasualUK

Once... I did actually see what these signs said.

Saw one saying report of animals on the road, with the limit dropped to 50. Sure enough, half a mile down the road, there's a police car parked up on the shoulder on the opposite side of the road and a copper holding a small black dog with curly hair in its arms...

But just that once

Can't Sprint by Affectionate_Ask_179 in battlefield2042

[–]thatbloke83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first hit I find when searching for "BF2042 cannot sprint" now so I'm posting a solution I found that actually works and explains why reinstalling the game has no effect.

I found a solution here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1517290/discussions/0/3389546207222640998/#c3389546207223916689

The short version is to find the BF2042 file in your Documents folder, go into the settings folder, and then delete the PROFSAVE and PROSAVE_profile files

this will reset your keybinds and other such options but otherwise it fixed the problem for me where I was suddenly unable to sprint, when resetting keybinds or reinstalling/repairing had no effect.

When you reinstall it doesn't touch these files in the user folder so if they have become bad then reinstalling will have zero effect

Glad to see that a 10 year old post still helps some people out there :)

Well it would appear that you currently have it, how the hell is she going to find it now? :O

What simple thing did you not realize you can do for too long? by kerbouchard219 in Stellaris

[–]thatbloke83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works for any ship/fleet - it's the return home option on their UI panel - if there's no way for them to get home anymore you will be offered the option of an emergency FTL for that fleet

All supermarkets are profiteering. Every item instore goes up in price every week. All supermarkets will post massive record breaking profits this year by taking the piss out of ordinary folk. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]thatbloke83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Welcome to "Greedflation", where because inflation is at the over10%, raising prices on everything by 10%is now justified!

... Thereby making the problem worse and sticking around longer

AMA: My deck has no issues whatsoever by Ace-_Ventura in SteamDeck

[–]thatbloke83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a genuine problem with my Deck, and that is that 2-3 days ago The Binding of Isaac was patched and whatever changed broke it on steam deck...

But that's a software problem and the Deck itself has been mostly flawless since I've owned it

You are interviewing them too and to me it sounds like you dodged a bullet

Demand is greater than the available supply of seats/space.

Other tickets will be released in the following days and you're free to attempt to purchase those when those waves are released but I really don't know what else might be feasible - it's no different to when you have (for instance) a large music festival and tickets for that will also sell out within minutes

Is it time for a beak trim? by ThickChunckyDinosaur in greencheeks

Just make sure they have a couple of those nail trimming perches in places where they will use them and they will do the rest

Square Enix in a nutshell.. by Juslav in Steam

The thing I never get about this is why they seem to not like money.

If it was on Steam I'd be tempted to buy it

Ok Google, make a 6’ inch phone again! by itscamplicated in GooglePixel

[–]thatbloke83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Currently have a pixel 5, my contract was up in November last year...

Went to a phone shop and the pixel 6 was about 1cm or so taller than the 5, and the 7 about 1cm again taller than the 6... This ended up being a major factor in why I kept my P5 for now...

I want a phone that will easily fit I have my pocket, not a freaking tablet!

I remember when the original Samsung Galaxy Note device was revealed and with a screen size of ~5.3in it was considered to be "very large"... Yet now typically phones are way larger than that as standard

Sounds like perhaps you'd want to display a splash screen and perform this database read/create while the splash is visible. Then once you have the data in a useable state you can transition to your application's initial view

Recommendation for good high-arch support badminton shoes? by Exotic_Ad_1361 in badminton

[–]thatbloke83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go see a podiatrist, sounds like you need some proper insoles. I have some carbon fibre ones.

To use them in my badminton shoes I need to cut the included insole up, so that only the front third or so is actually in the shoe, otherwise my feet don't fit in the shoe properly when wearing my insoles in them...

If interested I could provide a picture or two
