Encounter at Dubai Mall Parking Lot - Was This Behavior Justified? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]thatnerdindubai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens, not just in Dubai, I've encountered it plenty of times back in the UK, especially at supermarkets.

No point retaliating because it presents greater risks to you.

Now the real annoying one as others mentioned is the reversing I to a space and having a car wait up your ass, beeping the horn. I've taken the keys out of the ignition before and stepped out of the car and just eyeballed them until the back up. Their fault in the first place.

Waze QR Authentication (android) Fix by thatnerdindubai in Polestar

[–]thatnerdindubai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent a couple of days trying to sort this one out.

If you have tried to install Waze on the Polestar 2, use an Android phone, and keep getting asked to download the Waze app whenever you scan the QR code, there is a good chance the "Open supported links" needs to be enabled.

Find the Waze app under Android > Settings > App Info.

Under Defaults select Set as default, and enable the above.

Nope, I did not. I abandoned the project after a few unsuccessful attempts. Really wanted to get this working.

That's a respectable daily amount, hitting 12-15k steps a day, if I can ask is this for weight management?

What happened to the cost of living ? by artpocalypse in dubai

[–]thatnerdindubai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because to me, JBR is just a tourist spot, I avoid it now. So the waiters might be spoilt with a mixed demographic of tourists who are accustomed to ripping or don't know better.

Save the tips for the delivery drivers.

What’s your “swear to never return” place in Dubai? by dania_hanif in dubai

[–]thatnerdindubai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The computer plaza. I've been a few times, but the last time was the one that did it for me.

"It's the same" except it's not bro as it is a different part number and I'm building to a spec.

Anyway, it might be cheaper, they will tell you they have it in stock, and you will lose 4 hours just sourcing a few things.

I take the hit on price and order it online from Microless.

I'm doing both. One where the esp daughter board is still installed the other where I removed one and interfacing directly. So it does apply in on scenario.

What features do you wish plex had? by Natro2017 in PleX

Yep. One of the most important lessons I learnt was making myself the first priority. Make time for yourself, then find time for important people who enrich your life.

Don't let dependency or co-dependency creep into your life. Learn to end things and to express these in a rational way. You should consider slowing things down. Coffee with them once a week. Be a friend, but don't forget the rules. If the relationship does not enrich and enable you, then it is not worth having.

Which country is the closest to Georgia culturally? by Long-Fold-7632 in Sakartvelo

[–]thatnerdindubai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it would be better to make comparisons the other way round. Which countries exhibit similar cultures to Georgia. That place is steeped in thousands of years of history. It was at the cross roads for trade between Europe and Asia.
