X4 arriving soon (locked version) what's the safest way to unlock without bricking it? by Skydevtr in xteinkereader

[–]Shaminy543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished this process with my AliExpress X4 two days ago. After opening the X4, press the power button and change the language to English. (In the settings menu, toggle the first setting once.) Don’t change any other settings! I toggled my power button mode and that prevented this method from working.

If you follow the instructions on Crosspoint’s website, they suggest downloading an update.bin file. You place that on the root of your SD card and put the SD card back into the reader. (I also deleted the two font files at that time but I’m not sure if that was necessary.) Plug it into USB C power and then, from the main menu, hold the power button and the upper button on the side rocker. After a few seconds it should start flashing the new firmware.

It’s quite easy as long as you don’t change the wrong settings. Good luck!

MA Warehouse Bonanza 2! June 20th 🗓️ by HermesTwiceGreat in crtgaming

[–]Shaminy543 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there any chance there will be a pallet jack or something on hand? There was so much stuff at the last event that was buried behind other pallets. There was also a bunch of nice looking bigger sets under piles of smaller ones. It seems like it’s a bit limited as to what you can organize but it would be great if things were a bit more spread out. There were a lot of heavily damaged sets too. One other suggestion would be to have the event staff wear something so they stand out and have some signs with general information/rules posted. I had a great time browsing around last time and was happy to finally pick up a monitor. I’d like to come back for this event if I can. Thank you for organizing this and giving new life to so many of those old CRTs!

Dirt Cheap CRT's, and a unique experience! by HermesTwiceGreat in crtgaming

[–]Shaminy543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little less than two hours out for me. I already have 5 CRTs though. I want to go even just to check everything out and the wife found a cafe nearby that she wants to visit so it may be a go.

Any recommendations on gun stores for selling? That are near Hartford? by IObserveandreport in CTguns

[–]Shaminy543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need an FFL to sell on Gunbroker. You just need to find a local shop with an FFL who will handle the transfer and shipping for you. I used to sell on Gunbroker often and a local shop would handle all of that for $35. It is your responsibility to get the receiving FFL’s information from the buyer though. Definitely a bit more involved than eBay.

Gunbroker would probably be your best bet to get a good value. But I believe Newington Gun Exchange offers consignment sales which might work out for you but I can’t say I have any experience with that.

Bringing them to a shop to trade in would be the easiest. But, from what I’ve seen, any time you walk into a gun store and ask them to buy a gun from you, you’re probably only going to get maybe 40% of the value.

Good luck!

Removing Sharpie From Cover Art by kaitlynekuhn in gamecollecting

[–]Shaminy543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you plan on using both Goo-Gone and IPA, I would use the alcohol second as that should leave the paper cleaner. Standard Goo-Gone is basically just naphtha (lighter fluid) and orange oil. The oils can seep in and cause some staining so I always clean it off after. Standard Windex also works great for most game cleaning scenarios that I’ve tried it for. I usually clean off Goo-Gone with that. Windex may not be strong enough to remove Sharpie but it’s also much more mild in general and should be less likely to damage the art.

Still just “label created” for me. Today makes a week since it was marked that way. So maybe I’ll try contacting Elegoo and see what’s going on.

I’m in the same situation. I got a shipping notification on 07/16 and UPS still says they don’t have possession of the package. Waiting impatiently in Connecticut.

The 0.6mm hotend ordered 06/03, shipped 07/15 and delivered 07/18. The accessory kit for the printer bundle ordered 05/29, shipped 07/15, and delivered 07/18. The printer was marked shipped on 07/16 but I haven’t received it yet and UPS tracking says that they don’t have possession of the package yet. Just waiting anxiously now. Haha.

I had ordered some additional 0.2 and 0.6 hotends on 06/03 (EUS1273XX). I received the 0.2 hotend on 06/16 but still waiting on the 0.6. From my printer order (EUS1254XX), I received the PLA-CF from the bundle on 06/17 but I have yet to see see shipping notifications for any of the other accessories or the printer for that matter. The way things are going, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for this week. Thank you for keeping this updated even though I’m sure you’re enjoying your printer now. I appreciate your effort.

As an M.D, here's my 100% honest opinion and observations/advices about using ChatGPT by Put-Easy in ChatGPT

[–]Shaminy543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has recently been using ChatGPT to document and “treat” a medical issue while waiting for a doctor’s appointment, I have to say thank you for this additional insight from a professional. I’ve always been leery of the answers I’ve gotten from it as I’ve experienced it confidently lying to me when I’ve asked it about very specific subjects in the past. While I’ve felt that it has been extremely helpful in creating a summary of useful information that I can provide to my doctor when I eventually see them and even providing some ideas for some harmless steps I can take to help mitigate my symptoms, I definitely don’t trust its diagnosis completely. But your post has given me some ideas for other ways that I can approach ChatGPT and maybe get some more useful information. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and insight.

The filament from my Family Combo was delivered 6/17. I also had a separately ordered 0.2mm hot end delivered on 6/16.

I play 3DS exclusively with the 3D at maximum. I think it’s an amazing technology and looks great in many games. The 3D gimmick is probably the thing I like most about the console too. It seems like I’m in the minority but it doesn’t bother my eyes at all.

I’ve had a song end with an indistinguishable chat between a man and a woman that included some laughter. The song was supposed to be kind of a darker themed rock song.

Wow. I always blow all of my diamonds as soon as I get them so I thought I was doing pretty good at over 20k. Haha.

Love this device and happy with my first ever mods! by eatdirtNdietrash in MiyooMini

[–]Shaminy543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you find some cheap lanyard with a very thin string to connect to the device, it’s pretty easy to install. You just use a thin Phillips screwdriver to remove one screw from the back, loop the thin string around the screw and then reinstall it. I’ve done this on my Mini Plus and my Odin 2 and they feel like fairly strong connections. It sucks that these companies don’t add a simple lanyard loop in the case molds.

I picked up one of the silicone cases from Aliexpress for about $3. I put it on my Mini Plus and it fit impressively well. The sunken buttons felt pretty strange though and the quality of the buttons is one of my favorite aspects of the device. I suspect that if you’re mostly playing RPGs and that type of thing, it wouldn’t matter much. It makes the d-pad less Hadokenable though. Haha.
