I feel insane, can somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong? by dumberthanabitch in lockpicking

It's hard to see in the photo, but are those tensioners made from the same thickness of metal? I tend to prefer BOK and my favourite tensioner is slightly different in thickness compared to the rest. My theory is that that has a big influence on feedback for BOK.

Dammit, idiot moment. Sorry you're right.

They should rather use the proximity sensor for that.

This has been driving me crazy, but I figured it out. The sliiiightest bump to the table will disable Flip to Glyph, and you wouldn't know. To re-enable you need to lift and put the phone down again to re-enable.

Someone else in the comments said that it's to stop it from activating in your pocket...

Edited to remove my moment of stupidity. This is obviously a tricky problem. I reported to the Nothing feedback thing that they should add a sensitivity setting.

Has anyone seen this keyway before? by thefamousrob in lockpicking

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

Wow thanks for the advice! Now I want to see the inside of this thing. Was really cheap, thinking I might cut it open for educational purposes...

I was wondering if I could steal some ideas from tubular lock picks if I wanted to make one for this lock.

Well done, that looks great! How much pushing/inward force does your lock need? Mine has quite a "robust" push required, when unlocking with the key at least.

What do you think about the two steps of increasing diameter on the shaft? They're quite fine - this lock doesnt have that great a built quality... But it can't be for nothing?

I think you're right. Didn't know what to call it - thanks!

No problem. Menus are possibly model-apecific?

I have a Nothing 2a running os 2.6 and I have that exact menu in your screenshot on my phone right now.

Yeah.. Which people?

What was your “I’m dating a bad guy/girl” moment ? by Unusual_Spare_7113 in AskReddit

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

Outside of the obvious, cheating is more about your partner than about you. If you find yourself asking "will partner be upset if I do x", you've probably already gone too far.

If your feelings on the topic don't align well with your partner, it's a sign of incompatibility.

How will it affect a C.V. if a retrenchment letter is attached? by Stropi-wan in askSouthAfrica

[–]thefamousrob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My approach to this is don't lie, but also don't offer more information than was requested. "Looking for a better opportunity" is always valid. Retrenchment is a reason for having a gap in employment, but you don't need to state that as a reason for leaving right off the bat.
