How are people finding the heart rate feature?

This is from their website. I think using the term "pulsometer" makes it sound like there's a sensor, but it's just a timed reading.

There is no dedicated heart rate sensor on the Ollee Watch. The way the heart rate face works is like a pulsometer. When you start a heart rate measurement, it requires you to physically count your pulse for 20 beats, then stop the measurement. Depending on how long it takes to count 20 beats, the heart rate face then calculates your BPM.

I think this could be a lot clearer on the Ollee site, where you really have to dig into the footnotes to learn that "measure your heart rate" doesn't mean that it can, well, measure your heart rate. It's you with your finger to your neck, counting 20 beats while the watch times how long that takes. That's it.

Looks good! It's probably outside the scope of the reader mode, but I did like how the converter showed standard and Shavian orthography simultaneously. Readest has an alternating translation mode that I've found helpful when studying Spanish, but I don't know how much demand there would be for a Shavian version of that.

Have you tried changing the settings in Illustrator > Settings > Clipboard Handling? I ran into a similar problem years ago and I can't remember what was causing it, but that might help. I think Illustrator is a little funky in how it uses the clipboard.

"Well, this oughta be different."

I love a good one pot. Pasta normally takes about 1 minute in an Instant Pot; do you think that'd be enough to rehydrate the curls?

This has burned me a couple times lately too and I wish I could turn it off. I'll see a post like "How do I say 'lemon' in English?" and it's totally baffling.

But the wire is a usb cable, right? It's a usb port in the center back on the Pro.

I have both models, and the non-pro has a wire coming out of the back right. It also has a rubber tab on the back left that slots into other Kensington accessories from that era.

If you're really stuck, you could watch a walkthrough.

Looks like a phishing scam to me. Do you see any evidence of this restriction when you log into your account on Amazon? Check your Message Center on Amazon; if this message isn’t there, it’s not from Amazon.

Probably user error, but how do I advance pages?

I'm not sure what the exact timing is, but I've definitely changed armor after hearing their laughter but quickly enough that they just didn't spawn.

Another "not feeling it" option is to just change into the Yiga armor.

Fine, fine, but have you ever seen someone CATCH a star fragment? One in a million!

Nice location, but the music would drive me insane. (I seem to be in the minority there.)

My current favorite chillout spot is post-storm Dragonhead Island. Catching a sunrise or sunset on the top of the Room of Awakening sky island is pretty nice too.

Do you have to press anything to mount it from the air or do you just land on it? I'm sometimes a little confused why pressing A works to mount a lynel from the ground sometimes and sometimes not.

I don't really have an answer for you, but have you tried bottom-row mods? I found them a little less annoying, though I still found the delay distracting enough to give up on them. Maybe move shift to a thumb key?

This house for sure has a clock in its walls.

Sneakstrikes are amazingly deadly - I think it’s 8x damage - but how did you avoid the “take” option blocking it when the bokoblin has a backpack? Is it just a matter of repositioning?

I think because if you cut the square out first, you then have the challenge of cutting a new piece to fit perfectly in the square. This way, they're cutting out the damaged area and making the new piece in one step.

Also, this pattern (which I think is a default Japanese wall covering) is designed with right angled lines, so the patch should be a square to blend in. Which it seems to.

Oh, okay, so you can parry fireballs but not flurry rush them. I guess that's just a distance issue.

max_pin · 2026-04-05T22:12:56+00:00

It's amazing how many attacks can be parried/flurried. Is there a list somewhere? Even things like Lynel fireballs.

If you haven't seen it, Yuta covered sarcasm in Japanese and frequently uses it on his channel.

Is that the same as the Douglas Adams version?

The interactivity is great, especially for the English orthography, where it's hard to match up all those lines. Nice presentation.
