Rivian follows Tesla’s footsteps, will open its charging network to other EVs in c/evs@lemmy.world
[–] smitty825@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It feels a bit different to me. Tesla hugely invested in their own charging network, while everyone else let EA do it for them. Tesla could have kept their network private to sell more vehicles. As for the exclusive Rivian chargers…I’ve never seen one, but the nearest one to me is about 300 miles away.

This Chipotle blog entry describes things the best as far as I know: https://chipolo.net/en/blogs/chipolo-point-delay-and-google-find-my-device-app-update

Basically, in December, Google and Apple (and others?) came up with a standard on discovering trackers that are being used to stalk people. Because of the large iOS install base, Google has elected to wait for Apple to roll out that feature on iPhones before enabling the tracking device support on Android.

You were right. There is an in-game controller settings menu that got changed. So, that fixed my problem! Thanks for the help!

[Help] Joystick not working in Hot Wheels Unleashed (lemmy.world)
 

I’m new to the Steam Deck and I haven’t really been in the PC gaming scene since Quake 3/Unreal Tournament more than 2 decades ago. So, I have a lot to learn. (I have a small child and we’ve been exploring the world of games on the Switch)

Said small child is really into hot wheels, so we picked up Hot Wheels Unleashed on the last steam sale. We’ve played it successfully for the last couple of weeks, but all of the sudden (today) the game stopped working right. When driving a car, the joystick won’t let the car turn left. It works going to the right, and it works going left on the in-game menus. (And it works on other games, so it’s not a hardware issue)

Since I’m so new to the steam deck, I really haven’t learned how to debug it yet. I tried changing the Proton version with any success, and I’ve tried some different keyboard layouts without success. I’ve tried the reboot solution and verified that I’m on the latest version of steamOS and the game.

Is there a standard set of steps to debug these type of problems?
