    Huge fan of this iteration of my rig

    Just added the tablet live dashboard to my ever-changing sim racing rig.

    I really like the way it turned out. It's just an old Galaxy Tab4 attached to the desk with a car mount. Running SimHub and Simhub Android app.

    It allowed me to stop using RaceLabs Advanced Panel Overlay which I was looking to do. Plus it looks neat.

    Some info about the rig for anyone who cares...

    2022 Polestar 2: Five Things I Like and Five Things I Don't Like

    2022 Polestar 2 Specs

    Base price: $58,400 including destination
    Powertrain: 78 kWh lithium-ion battery | dual permanently synchronous electric motors | 1-speed transmission | all-wheel drive
    Horsepower: 408
    Torque: 487 lb-ft
    Seating capacity: 5
    Ground clearance front: 151 mm (5.9 inches) / 146 mm (5.7 inches) with the
    Performance package
    Ground clearance rear: 167 mm (6.9 inches) / 161 mm (6.3 inches) with the
    Performance package

    Quick take: The Polestar 2 provides a great driver oriented experience while being a quality daily. The competitive range will get you where you need on one charge. Although some interior design choices may leave you guessing and interior space may be an issue for larger owners, the performance and driving dynamics satisfy on all fronts.

    Update 2.9 Has Been Pretty Great

    I've been rocking OTA 2.9 on my Polestar 2 for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's been an impressive update.

    One of the standout features for me has been the improved efficiency app. It's a fantastic addition that I've been enjoying watching the graph change based on my driving and the road.

    There was a poll a while back about Pilot Assist holding too far to the right or left. It was interesting to see mixed responses. Some folks agreed while others claimed they hadn't experienced the issue at all.

    I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced a problem on a particular stretch of highway where Pilot Assist would uncomfortably stick to the right side of the lane. However, with update 2.9, I haven't encountered this problem again on the same stretch of road. It's worth noting that there haven't been any documented changes to how Pilot Assist functions, nor any modifications to the road (like repainting the lane markings, for instance).

    All in all, I believe the 2.9 update is a

  • yep!

    I used to run an old Dell R610. Used a decent amount of power.

    Switched to an old 4th gen quadcore i7 laptop.

    Been running great, uses less power, has a built in display and keyboard.

    Linux base, Docker Env for most everything else.

  • Holy shit that's sleek. Gonna give that a go for a while.

    • Strong locks on doors and windows.
    • Reinforce doors and windows with bars or metal.
    • Create hidden entrances or passages.
    • Use guard dogs to deter intruders.
    • Keep heavy furniture near entrances as barricades.
    • Set up alarms or noise-making devices.
    • Assign a guard or sentry to watch over the room.
    • Use traps like tripwires or pitfalls.
    • Conceal valuable items or use secret compartments.
    • Explore spells or enchantments for added security.
  • yeah thats fair enough on the wordage.

    Im rocking a 3070 and 11th gen i7, but only 16gb of ram.

  • Oh interesting, I'm curious on the answer to this as well.

  • God joey is the best damn app ever. There hasn't really been much talk from the dev apparently, but hopefully someone comes up with an elegant solution.

  • It's so close to being what I need.

    Right now you can hide read posts.

    I just need it to hide on scroll past and a quick way to toggle read.

    Also not hide my own posts at least under profile when I have hide read on.

    Then it would be perfect for how I'd use it.

  • If they have issues with your hobbies they're not worth it. Who cares what you're into, if it doesn't negatively affect things, who the hell cares. My wife and I regularly game right next to each other and we're well past the "normal" age for gamers.

    hide post after viewing?

    Hey all. One of the best features of 3rd party reddit apps was hiding the post once you viewed or scrolled past so that you wouldn't see the same post each time you open the app/site. I believe this one done via the hide post feature via 3rd party apps. Does Lemmy support anything like this? Thanks!
