Hello! I just recently got my ploopy adept and was wondering what everyone's solution was. I've seen some people suggest that they bind their fire/aim buttons to something else on the keyboard, but some games have so many keybinds already that I wonder if that isn't a bit too detrimental for my left hand in the long run.
Hello all! For particular reasons, I would like to fully disable the extending wi-fi of the fritz!repeater 1600. How can I do this?
Hello all! I've been sleeping on the floor for a while with a combo of a foldable thin tatami mat, and my old ikea foam mattress. Now, I've been looking into getting a proper 100% cotton futon, and I was wondering: I've been sleeping onto a 90x200cm mattress, and even though I'm an adult (175cm height and a bit bulky) I don't know if I really need the extra centimeters on the sides.
At the same time, I can say this while it's summer and I'm only using a simple sheet on the bed. How do you know which size of mattress to get, in general?
Scusate l'ignoranza, ho di recente portato l'auto dal meccanico e vorrei togliermi il dubbio: che voi sappiate, è normale che ci sia questa sezione con i fili scoperti, così vicini al piede del conducente? Non vorrei si siano dimenticati di ri-montare qualcosa, ecco
Hello all 💫 I've been enjoying the challenge of ACR lately, and I don't mind playing with a gamepad. I use an Xbox Series s/x controller with default settings in the game.
What about you?
I'll try to not beat around the bush too much, sorry in advance if this gets lengthy. I want to preface this by saying that I'm from Europe, so keep that in mind as you read this (I know US culture around education can be very different, and studying is also more expensive there I think)
Personal background:
The problem: I'm struggling, and I'm afraid I might need an extra exam session to clear my exams. Mental fatigue and burnout, no matter how much I love the topics, are getting to me. I have two exams in three days which I know close to nothing for. It's 3PM, and I could only stare at the books for hours, this morning.
All in all, I have to clear 8 exams before september, togheter with writing my thesis' paper. It all feels very crammed, and I haven't gone to bed worry-free for months. I've had periods in which I locked myself into some sort of aphatic procrastination, which obviously made things much worse.
If I do extend my time and require an extra exam session (which is still considered within the third year, so no extra taxes) I will lose the possibility of starting my master's course this october. It will have to be postponed to 2027's october, making me lose a full year of studies.
If you've ever been an older student, you know how bad anxiety can get - I feel like I'm already stretching it, by putting a burden on my parents and basically getting "ready to work" only at 30. To extend this to 31 feels... rough. I have pushed myself to obtain scholaships, making it so my parents didn't have to worry about my finances at least, but I really have no clue on how to go on. I also don't have it in me to find yet another job as I wait for 2027's summer to pass.
Should I just push as much as I can for these exams? How do I find the motivation to go through as much material I can in such few days? Does anyone have any experience similar to mine that can share some insight?
Hello all! Just swapped my T480s trackpad for a glass one. I use Gnome with OpenSUSE, and I was wondering - do you think it's normal that I need to pause for a second before I try to swipe up with three fingertips in order to bring up the multi-window vista? The original one definitely didn't take that much and it's a bit bothering, so I was wondering if there was any way to change sensitivity through bios or akin. If not, I'll just use this as is and will probably get used to use the special key to bring up the gnome launcher instead.
I bought this card on a whim as I found it at a discounted price for 380€ (european prices hover between 420 and 500) Realistically, I can make ~150€ by selling back my RX6600.
I can definitely see the improvement in the few tests I did, but... I'm someone who doesn't usually game that hard and doesn't buy games as soon as they come out. The most recent title I own is Arc Raiders, and its good optimization made me able to run it at 70-80fps just fine on medium settings.
I keep thinking of all the older games I can play, and the huge backlog I own on steam which is mostly indie titles and older AAA games up to 2022.
Do you think I should save up those 230/240€, or keep the upgrade?
I was wondering: does anyone know if renoise could work as a drum machine with a step sequencer? I'm picturing something like this: 8 tracks, each with a sample assigned to it. A launchpad X (or something akin) in which you have one top row of pads to select sample track, and the other pads to work as steps that can turn on or off that particular step for the track.
I'm someone who struggles when they encounter decent deals. I have an acceptable gaming PC, but it has been struggling with newer games. It's one of my main hobbies. I recently couldn't do anything but think about this deal on used graphic video cards that would help me upgrade my rig and future-proof it for the next few 2/3 years.
However, we're talking about roughly 20% of my budget in a time in which I am uncertain at when I will be able to gain more money (going back to studies).
I feel pathetic, because my brain cannot think about anything else. Does anyone have any suggestions to deal with this?
Hello all! I'm on the lookout for a new sturdy indoor doormat whose main purpose will be to catch as much dirt as possible. Relative does not like coconut coir because it "starts flaking', and no matter what I say about the fact that they had a bad experience with a cheap one, they won't accept another one in the house.
I was eyeing L.L. Bean mats, but they're an american company and shipping to EU is costly. Suggestions?
Hello all! With Wildling's partial delocalization of production to Vietnam, I'm looking for brands that manufacture all of their models inside of EU.
I know there's a nice and full list of brands curated by user u/MxQueer out there, but I'm wondering: what brands have you personally tried and can recommend, both in terms of longevity, comfort and fashion?
Thank you in advance!
Hello all! I'm in need of new All Season tyres for my small Fiat Panda 169. I live in a mediterranean climate that tends towards the warm, but it will occasionally hit a -5/-10 on the coldest days in winter.
As of now, the options I was eyeing were (all prices are with tyre mounting included):
I drive roughly 10.000km every year, with the occasional longer trip. Kleber look like a fine options, if it wasn't for the fact that they seem more positively reviewed when it comes to snow grip... but it rarely snows here. Thoughts?
Buondì! Devo portare una Panda 169 Metano a fare cinghia e tagliando, più un intervento particolare sui silent block bracci posteriori, che da soli richiedono circa 200-300 per la complessità del lavoro.
Un meccanico di zona mi ha proposto 800€. Quindi, Circa 500/600 di tagliando + cinghia di distribuzione.
Voi quanto pagate per le vostre utilitarie? Pensate il prezzo sia in linea con i tempi?
Hello all! I've been having a blast with wildling shoes, and I was wondering what the best sole for walking around without socks could be. Right now, I'm using tattered soles and I was wondering what the best model on the website could be to use with bare skin.
Buongiorno!
Sono il possessore di un'umile Panda 169 a metano; vorrei rompere il ciclo per il quale, in famiglia, la manutenzione è sempre stata riparativa, piuttosto che preventiva.
Vorrei quindi fare qualche lavoretto all'auto: un tagliando, un cambio di ammortizzatori, oltre che ad un cambio di silent block su braccio posteriore che so essere non proprio una operazione economica (cigola fortissimo, e a volte arrivo a fine viaggio davvero stremato dal rumore).
Il mio problema è: l'unico meccanico di paese a cui mi sono rivolto mi guardò un po' strano quando menzionai questi benedetti silent block, sebbene sia una problematica abbastanza comune per questo modello di auto. Mi ha ingrassato il luogo in cui poggiano tali componenti (ipotizzo disintegrati o induriti) e tanti saluti - con l'ovvio problema che il problema si è ripresentato una settimana dopo.
Ci sta, non mi aspetto che siano enciclopedie del motore, ma mi spinge a chiedermi:
- secondo voi dovrei provare a sentire qualcun altro, o provare a insistere sulla questione silent block? Non vorrei risultare maleducato/sotuttoio
- Pensavo di tagliare un po' i costi di intervento chiedendo tutti questi interventi in blocco, in un'unica volta. Pensate sia un rischio, se si tratta di un nuovo meccanico?
Hello all! I'm looking to buy a 90x200cm full cotton futon that I can roll up during the day and place onto my thin tatami (which also folds up in 4 pieces). A shop that produces handmade futons in my country has various models, but it seems like they suggest a thickness of 10cm, while they go as low as 6cm of thickness for other models.
Do you think 10cm might be too much for me to easily fold it up? I know I could never fold up my (also 10cm) ikea foam mattress, but that's a completely different material compared to woven cotton.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, all! I'm looking for like-minded, cozy people to chat with. Life's keeping me a little busy, but I would nonetheless be happy to find time to chat and play a few games. I'm open to:
Generally speaking I'm into music, crafting, visual arts, stationery; I have a soft spot for indie videogames & older hidden gems. I love hearing my friends yap about what they're passionate about :> More broadly speaking, I'm also interested in simple living, anti-consumerism and minimalism (if you're looking to share your excitement about labubu or trading cards mystery packs, I'm probably not the right person!).
I almost forgot! A few of my favorite franchises are Silent Hill, Persona and Nier.
My DMs are open! Possibly people in my (25-35) range of age. Please, do not interact if you're purposefully immature, against queer people, or someone looking for a romantic relationship.
P.s. I'm open to be invited in groups, but only if they're small and active. Getting thrown into a big discord server is just off-putting to me. Byee ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝
Hello! I've recently been thinking about what it'd be like to have a sleeping solution which I can roll up, easily take out to air, and so forth. I've also been having troubles sleeping onto my budget ikea slats. So I'm looking to try out floor sleeping with my normal (already rather thin) mattress, and see if I truly vibe with it.
My main issue is that my room is pretty small. I'm in the middle of decluttering, but I still find it though to find a space in which to comfortably lay out something.
The last couple of nights, I simply moved my bed framw to the side, threw an old blanket onto the floor, and pushed all of my mattress onto it. I definitely feel like I had less trouble sleeping, but you can image how messy and cramped a small room looks like with a bedframe shoved in the middle of the way, as my head almost lays down under my desk lol.
I was wondering, do you think I should try an MDF base for my bedframe, as an alternative to slats? Or should I just look into eliminating it eventually?
Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to enable lift notes for playing on non-strumming (all taps) controllers, such as a normal gamepad. Many thanks in advance!
