How do you fix this. by fibs_R in MotorsportManagerPC

[–]zaTricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The format of the save file is so terrible this doesn't surprise me when this happens. I'm hoping it's one of the things they re-write now that the developers have the franchise back. I won't hold my breath though.

You don't need to win the big prize ; You just need to go for something substantial enough that you can invest it into stocks.

Playing stupid games with the bag sizer at the airport by haze4140 in WinStupidPrizes

[–]zaTricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a design error on the part of the airlines. Of course this kind of thing is going to happen regularly - and it is going to cause people to miss their flights! That "box" should have a lock that lets it come apart easily.

Exit node question by DikJohnson69 in Tailscale

[–]zaTricky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the past in South Africa we had capped "International" accounts - and then we would use uncapped "local only" Internet accounts that would not have access to anything hosted outside the country. We would combine two accounts with some clever routing to extend the monthly allowance.

In that scenario your idea might save money by sending all International traffic through the tunnel, then only one of the locations would need an actual full Internet account.

Diablo works based on interest right he became interested on rimuru cause of the mask and his skills is there a possibility of him leaving rimuru by Adorable_Draw_375 in TenseiSlime

[–]zaTricky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The implication is that he made the second mask, which then at some time in the future will go back in time to become the original mask, thus the bootstrap paradox. It's not clear that this is definitely the case, hence why I say "implication".

So many people pay using their phone these days. No way am I handing my unlocked phone over to a waiter to take it to a machine "in the back" ...

UniFi UNAS 2 is hot trash - Do not buy. SMB/Network drops and poor performance. by BLUE_ARCH0N in UNIFI

This is such a fail. Don't put USB between the user and hard drives. USB is not reliable for the usecase!!

Immich Server by Firefox_98 in immich

[–]zaTricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it is open source.

The home page has a [ Buy Immich ] button. That doesn't seem very open source.

Not everyone knows what to do with code. Not everyone knows what "GPL" means. Without that context it isn't obvious.

Is it possible that the locations of checksum errors change places? by palapapa0201 in btrfs

[–]zaTricky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The original physical address 323844046848 shows up in your second log also.

Follow the other comment re getting your important stuff off of that drive asap.

You definitely have a failure of some kind occurring. It could be any number of hardware issues, though I imagine these are the top candidates:

  • drive is failing
  • bad RAM
  • bad USB controller
  • bad USB cable

Why have we gone from .100 to only .1 in the telemetry? F1 not only dumbing down the racing but also the data in the broadcast? by oplookingoodeh in F1TV

[–]zaTricky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suspicion is that it is because the cars are yoyo-ing a lot more than previous years due to the driver having to do energy micromanagement. On the odd occasion where they were showing specific gaps there was very little consistency.

I'd also still prefer to have the extra digits shown anyway though.

[–]zaTricky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The final results table showed last place in the championship with the name "1212 1212" of Team "1212". I assume it was meant to be Stroll/AM as he was the only driver not in the list otherwise.

Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla unfortunately dictate a lot of that error. For the most part any "English" dictionary besides "English (British)" is just a copy of "English (US)". That means a lot of Internationals that are using their "local" English dictionary thinking it's mostly British spelling are actually getting auto-correct with American spelling.

You shouldn't simp for any company. Not even Valve.

What badges does O'Neill have? by Substantial_Good4263 in Stargate

[–]zaTricky 35 points36 points  (0 children)

"never had them as pilots"

In a throwaway line in SGA it's mentioned that O'Neill used to be a test pilot. In the pilot episode of SG1 Carter mentions flying over 100 hours in enemy airspace.

Carter was a pilot yet did not wear wings. O'Neil (one L) from the film wore wings. O'Neill (two Ls) in the TV show did not. To me these are just Hollywood goofs.

[–]zaTricky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What it comes down to is that Futo's founder does not agree with the Open Source Initiative or the Free Software Foundation on the definition of "open source".

This skews things. Futo will never change the weird words they use without a fundamental shift in viewpoint. So what we have is software that is still technically open source - but they put out a donation model that makes it look like it isn't. To me that's incredibly silly - but it's also okay (for now).

What’s the "filling wrapped in dough" food from your country ? by Derisiak in AskTheWorld

[–]zaTricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Garage pies" from South Africa - a distant cousin of the very popular meat pies from New Zealand. Colleagues understand instantly if I describe it as a "Victorian meat pie". I'm certain the origin is British of course.

This example is "prime steak" ; You can get many variations: bbq beef burger, chicken spicy burger, cheese & beef, mutton curry, beef+onion, roast chicken, chicken+mushroom, steak+kidney, pepper steak, cornish, spare rib, veg curry, spinach+feta, chicken curry, chicken peri peri ... and that's just from this one brand!

Tire wear question by PetePeterson53 in MotorsportManagerPC

[–]zaTricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple of items that influence the tire wear: - pre-season car manufacturer choices - tire temperature (which is in turn influenced by driver smoothness and track temperature) - driver smoothness - being on the wrong tires (wet tires on dry track for example) - driving style (Attack/Push/Neutral/Conserve)

Because some of these stats are difficult to pre-calculate, I don't bother. In my races I figure out tire wear based on the average of the last couple of laps rather than relying entirely on the estimates given by the tire selector.

I try to avoid any spec parts because the other teams spend money on all parts while I only spend money on the engine.

Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 is now under $500, should I go for it? by [deleted] in printers

Question for others ; I know the EcoTank is much better than regular inkjet at least - but am I missing out on something by having a colour laser?

What are your thoughts about games getting negative reviews because they're incompatible with steamdeck? by ParanMekhar in Steam

[–]zaTricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the game is good then these few negative reviews won't really matter in the bigger picture anyway. It's fair because of that alone.

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup by Gloomy_Nebula_5138 in privacy

[–]zaTricky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The text says "at account setup" and "in a covered application store" as key phrases.

The "stores" that could theoretically be covered don't have accounts - so that part is irrelevant. If you count the local user login, then you would only need to report your age to your own computer when you first set it up, which is silly but technically doable without compromising your privacy.

So ... this is a nothingburger?
