HF are notorious for this. Never makes sense. Then the staff accuse you of putting premium produce in the discounted bags.

Looks like a filament runout sensor, and there is a tiny tiny little bit of extra filament sticking out the top right. If the print had needed a little bit more filament, it would have pulled through the sensor and the machine would have reported it had run out of filament and paused the print.

Essentially flying really fucking close to the sun and somehow making it by the skin of their teeth.

Sadly no, we looked into PS exclusives vs what was available on the PC/Quest and just weren't overly blown away.

The Call of the Mountain is like The Climb, with combat mechanics... and my partner never ended up really playing much of it. I just preferred setting up and using my Quest instead.

I've wishlisted the PSVR2 PC Adapter, and we'll give it one more go as a PCVR headset.

Way nicer optics than my Quest2. Annoying about the cable. We bought it close to launch so no alternative counterweight headstraps etc, so not as comfortable as my BoboVR battery headstrap on the Q2.

We've since sold the PS5 and were wondering if we were going to get the PC adapter for the PSVR2 (likely as the PS5 was replaced with a gaming PC).

Easy, pay someone $$$ to do it lol...

Less jokey, you do need reasonable microsoldering skills unfortunately.

In Australia I paid someone $150 to do mine including the pi chip.

That's more than 5 minutes late if they were just driving in, probably takes at least another 10 minutes to park, unlock, turn on all the lights, get everything settled, etc.

I wouldn't use them as a trainer, you're paying them for the time and they're not giving you the time.

Defrost in fridge, no other safe way to do it.

I cook from frozen all the time, but I use a sous vide stick in a cooler box (keeps the water insulated so less heat loss), then finish in the air fryer.

EDIT: ITT people who clearly win the lottery every time they buy a ticket

As far as making sure nothing is transmitting, you're kind of screwed unless you are comfortable dismantling and identifying hardware as technically someone could install a chip that will phone home.

Software side you might see odd traffic coming from your laptop if you run a router that allows you to have such granular information.

Haha well if it's what I'm thinking has happened, it'll be fixable.

Temp fillings over root canal therapies generally have another layer underneath that's actually sealing off the root canal filling. You're doing the right things.

About the only thing they've really embraced is electric motorcycles as they're quiet.

Hmm I had an older one (TCL nxtwear s), and I wouldn't be doing graphic art on it, but it more than sufficed for watching shows, playing games, and some light browsing.

If I was buying today I'd probably look at the xreal X1, they've made some great strides in the tech.

 

Very niche case use, and the only other related post I can find used a different pair of glasses.

Mine unfortunately can't just be plugged straight into the Nitro Deck+, but needs to have the included USB c to HDMI, then a powered HDMI to USB C adapter. It works fine (with audio) at that point.

The powered HDMI to USB C adapter I used was this one: https://amzn.asia/d/90FQYfo

I'm ordering a USB C splitter cable and hopefully that will reduce the number of cables needed.

Hope this helps anyone else who happened to have this specific issue. 😅

 

I figure I might as well post some stuff to the Fediverse.

I have a Meross MSG100 to add "smart" connectivity to my otherwise dumb powered garage door. To my pleasant surprise, Meross can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings, and you can set a routine for when you arrive within a certain radius of home (100m is the smallest), it can then open the garage door. It can even be set to note if you've been gone long enough (I have mine set to 10 minutes).

For more precise location detection, you have to do a little finangling to get it to be hooked up to the Modes and Routines app where you can then also set a location setting that includes connecting to your home wifi.

The finangling involves setting up a virtual switch in SmartThings (as garage door openers aren't "supported" by M&R, but a switch is), and having a routine in ST linking the switch's state to the garage door.

If you don't have ST Labs (only available in USA and KR), then you can make a virtual switch using Samsung's own web ui: https://my.smartthings.com/advanced/devices

Anyway, we tested it this afternoon and it worked fine.

For those without a Samsung phone, this will be a lot harder to set up (if not impossible).

My backup options were:

  1. Getting my Cardo set up (whenever it arrives) and yelling Hey Google open the garage door, waiting for it to go 'sure, what's your pin', and yelling that at it... from like two roundabouts away from home.
  2. Buying and installing a Riders Magic Touch
  3. Buying and installing a Mo-Door
  4. Buying and installing the Garage Door Opener from Vizi-Tec (hooks up to brake line), apparently you do a zip-zip-zip-braaake on your brake and it activates it?
  5. Taking apart a garage remote and making my own version of any of the above, including like the FlashToPass/FlashToOpen (they don't exist anymore sadly) which activated when you flashed your high beams
  6. Tucking a remote into my tank bag and smashing the shit out of it
  7. Do what I've been doing which was stopping, glove off, open jacket pocket, fish out remote and press button, shove it back into pocket, glove back on, roll into garage

Anyone got any other unique ways of managing their garage door whilst on the motorcycle?

 

The context:

The British activist, who also goes by pseudonym Posie Parker, spoke at a "Let Women Speak" event outside Victorian parliament in March that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis, who joined the anti-trans rights demonstrators and repeatedly performed the Nazi salute.

MP Moira Deeming's involvement in the "Let Women Speak" rally led to her suspension and eventual expulsion from the Liberal party.
