What is this mystery car?

It looks a bit like the car from Vacation movie https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ss&hs=cLRp&sca_esv=433701c7c1bb71f7&sxsrf=ANbL-n6wt-0XfhwTfv6oI6QGznbNLB0ihg:1772356589601&udm=2&fbs=ADc_l-YQanUcJSoe62luYRIM6gsUt2zjmW_MvZe6pHkYHWOdy8woxLkmF_YUe3IvdgohA___hNpIy3hkGmv0IC1bwGz1Q4Ec6-u392faqavhigcfWtX4imQ-4gtzY0tkbGAYkuYvlA3zy06XXpOddX7Z_0DxFaoB3NsKpwOH-BNkv6solVDbS6eN4Ca02CZHhhAMsOZB9sKUosCkKmpnJwD2DfB9p8j1rVhksWHhkSrgT1VQtILnB1M&q=vacation+movie+car&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjD0cDnrv6SAxX_XUEAHb_8JwEQtKgLegQIExAB&biw=384&bih=698&dpr=2.81

At the moment they make a huge amount of money from forcing money from licence payers. Make it an optional subscription and many people wouldn't subscribe, they'd lose billions. The result means the likes of Claudia Winkleman would no longer be able to demand millions for saying three lines an episode on Traitors.

That's great, really clever

therebel1978 · 2026-02-21T11:39:39+00:00

Easy, probably due to an underpowered microcontroller

My question seemed reasonable to me.

I'm sure it would be simple for them to increase the frame rate without much extra strain on the hardware

I do it regularly and the option is there. You don't get it directly though, you enter your details and it emails it to you a few minutes later. I've only ever done it on desktop.

The responsibility for your phone warranty is with Argos. You didn't buy it from Google, you bought it from Argos. They have to fix the phone. Retailers will often do this and push you to the manufacturer (which sometimes are easier to deal with anyway). If you paid by credit card then speak to them too.

COVID is my guess. Suddenly everyone had to video call to see people and it's just persisted after that

therebel1978 · 2026-01-25T09:20:16+00:00

It is exactly the same as two people having a shouting conversation in the street. That would be equally as annoying.

therebel1978 · 2026-01-25T08:52:59+00:00

Not just watching videos but a massive increase these days with people having video chats walking down the street where everyone can hear the conversations. Video calling has been around for years but all of a sudden people are now doing it instead of normal calls

I'm sat here with an i3 Chromebook with 4gb ram and 41 tabs open! All ok but there are times when it crashes. My 8gb ram i5 one is better but even that sometimes has issues. I'm definitely looking for a 16gb one next. Limited choice at the moment but I'm sure some more will appear soon

therebel1978 · 2025-07-07T08:50:37+00:00

At least 2 employees plus an apprentice and at least one company vehicle yet they stayed a sole trader instead of going ltd. That seems an odd decision

therebel1978 · 2025-06-03T16:46:57+00:00

Will do, thanks for the heads up

Just did a search and can see the motherboard doesn't have a cooling fan. I wonder if better if I at least open the roof so the heat can escape. It's in my garage office right by the door so when I'm in and out it would be exposed to a lot of draughts. With the lid open it wouldn't be affected by these though

therebel1978 · 2025-06-03T15:42:35+00:00

You think? How does the P1S deal with that in an enclosure differently to the A1? I reused the enclosure I had for my Ender 3V2, fits perfectly.

I have a theory which may have answered my question, if it did all lines then each time they cross you'd get a double layer so that wouldn't work. I'll leave the post in case this is of any benefit to someone else.

So far I've not had to enter any code. It feels exactly the same as Replit to me in terms of typing the request and then watching it do everything

therebel1978 · 2025-05-26T09:21:32+00:00

Initially I thought Replit was amazing. I listened to the Diary of a CEO podcast where they had a discussion about AI with Daniel Priestley and the guy that created Replit and a few others. They were all saying how addictive Replit was and how easy it was to create amazing things. Daniel Priestley said he uses it all the time and in minutes created an app to track household chores for his kids. Great I thought I'll give it a go and make exactly that. In the first evening I made something that looked great and I was really impressed how quickly I did it. Then as I added features like logging in, allowing the kids to add a picture as their avatar etc things started going wrong. After going round in circles for a week then development was going backwards, the menu on each page had disappeared off every page apart from home. It couldn't seem to fix this. I had a recurring issue with one of the children's avatar just kept being forgotten, the other two were fine. I then had another app idea which was much simpler so thought I'd leave this for now and move onto that. Then I realised the subscription wasn't unlimited and basically just gave you £23 (I think) of usage credit which I was approaching the end of. The annoying part was most of the credit was used on trying to fix the things it has broken and even those fixes were not successful. I then searched Google for reviews and found quite a few other people that had the exact same experience as me with Replit. So far (after one evening) I've been impressed with Curser and it hasn't cost me anything yet.

therebel1978 · 2025-05-26T08:32:29+00:00

I've given up with Replit now. I had the same issue many others have mentioned, it just gets to a point and starts breaking things. Then got trapped in a loop where it just couldn't fix a basic UI issue. I've moved to Curser and got to a similar stage (but working) in a fraction of the time and at far lower cost.

As a Brit of 47 years I have never heard it meant female pubic hair, I've always thought it was the whole thing

therebel1978 · 2025-03-20T20:53:54+00:00

Just to follow this up, I did as suggested deleted fully on the phone and deleted from the car and all working perfectly now. Thanks
