Lieferando verlangt jetzt (wie Amazon bei hochpreisigen Lieferungen) einen Code bei der Lieferung. Der Einfachheit halber die letzten zwei Buchstaben/Ziffern der Bestellnummer.

Das ganze (lt. Text in der Email-Bestellbestätigung) um sicherzustellen, dass die Bestellung auch wirklich beim Besteller ankommt.

Naja, gäbe es da nicht ein klitzekleines Problem - nämlich dass eben diese Bestellnummer auf der Quittung steht, die außen an die Bestellung geklammert ist.

D.h. während die Fahrer bisher wirklich beim Besteller klingeln mussten und dort die Bestellung abgeben, können sie jetzt mit der Bestellung machen was sie sollen, die Abgabe mit dem "geheimen" 2-stelligen Code bestätigen und damit dem System gegenüber mit 100%iger Sicherheit bestätigen, dass die Bestellung an den Besteller übergeben wurde (weil ja nach Ansicht Lieferandos nur dieser den Code kennt).

Man würde meinen, dass solche Neuerungen irgendwo vielleicht mal einen Test durchlaufen, aber offenbar war das hier nicht der Fall.

Zum Mäusemelken....

Hey fellow hive mind members, a little while ago I placed an order for an in-stock item at the Ayaneo online store. Got a shipping notification last week with a DPD tracking ID (item exists in the system, but hasn't reached Europe yet).

I was wondering of any of you can give me an estimate of how long such a shipment to Europe (Germany in my case) might take? Thanks!

My last Ayaneo order before that was something like 2 years ago and if I recall correctly the parcel back then was shipped via DHL Express instead, which just took a few days of course.

For my old Mister I was using a Meanwell PSU, which has a barrel connector (5.5mm) instead of USB. On a SSO without a dock, I'd be using a Pi4 power supply (5V3A) without PD functionality, but I can't really find anything perfectly matching the SSO's specs, once it's paired with the dock.

Assuming the optical disc drive along with a NVMe and possibly another SSD via USB draw another 15 watts of power, we're looking at a power requirement of about 25W, so ideally 5V at 5A.

The Pi5 power supply is able to deliver that, but it also does 9V and 12V and the later one means that the SSO's PD protocol will switch the PSU into 12V mode, which puts an extra load onto the SSO's voltage converter and causes more heat.

So, basically I'm looking for a USB-C power supply - with at least 25W and a 5V output without PD functionality. Is there anything like that available ? Or maybe there's a PD trigger adapter available that keeps a PD power supply at 5V ? I see lots of DIY PCBs, but but nothing consumer-friendly with a simply USB-C input and output...

Quick Rave Racer question:

When you place first, you get to this "bonus plain" where you're supposed to drift through and knock over those traffic cones. My problem is that when I get there, I can really just hit gas exactly ONCE, if I take my finger off the gas (or reduce the gas on one of the analogue inputs) the bonus stage quits immediately and I start a new race (AT/MT selection screen). So, in most instances I don't even get to drive off, before the bonus stage ends right away. Only way to even reach the traffic cones is to push down on the gas hard and keep it pressed maxed out at 100% (which completely defeats the point of drifting through the cones sideways). Seem like a bug to me - or I'm doing someting totally wrong without realizing it. Playing this on a PS4 using pretty much standard settings. I just added "digital" gas and breaks to Square and X respectively and decreased the analogue sensitivity, so the analogue steering becomes useable.

Somebody got any ideas on this one?
