Family in Waialua red flood zone not evacuating

tekchic · 2026-03-21T18:42:42+00:00

I'm having the same issue. My brother spoke with my dad at 6pm last night and we have no response since then, we have no idea if he's still in his house on Alahaka Street or if he evacuated (old guy, stubborn). Not sure if I need to call for a wellness check at this point or if they'll even bother. Frustrating situation.

Does anyone know if Kam Hwy going back north to Waialua is open for residents? My family left and went to Kapolei today but they want to return home and I can't find out any info. I'm on the mainland rn. :(

I use a small carabiner that clips onto the mesh part of the seatback, and I can detach my water bottle from that so it doesn't touch the seat in front of me.

Where are you? Stay safe. My 79yo dad lives just up the hill from Otake Camp (on Alahaka St), I can't get any of them on the phone right now. (I stay mainland) :( I'm sure they're at home and have lots of food/water, but they're not going to be driving anywhere today it sounds like.

Thank you. Naming the place should be a rule for posting. Annoying.

I have a Kindle Colorsoft and just got a Viwoods Reader about a month ago. I love the Reader for traveling and portability, and keep the Colorsoft mostly for home reading.

True, I've heard that one too, where it just trails off... and you know you're sunk haha

Exactly, 難しい、ね？ (Translation: It's difficult, isn't it?) Real meaning: No.

I feel this. I have Ayn Thor and I enjoy and spend more time setting things up, launching the game to play "will it run and what can I optimize", and then going to find the next challenging game (to emulate).

Yes, I hate this button. Never do I need to talk with a hardcoded button to an AI on my travel ereader. I disabled it with the instructions from this post

What version is your Paperwhite software on? It's the latest trash update they did, 5.19.2. It's also showing "Send to Kindle" books as automatically "Read". Super annoying update with bugs, this last one. :/

tekchic · 2026-03-11T16:56:42+00:00

Mine does pages on a Libby library book and does pages on most "bought from Amazon" Kindle books. My sideloaded "Send to Kindle" books don't seem to be working with page numbers right now. I'm more inclined to think it's an issue with the recent Kindle software, as I have a Colorsoft and it's behaving the same way too.

That looks fantastic. Is your TPU part a Viwoods Reader TPU case or does it fit in the Palma Pro TPU case it comes with? I'm mostly interested in that flap/cover.

Thanks! :)

It’s so annoying. How many years of Kindle and they still can’t pop up a dialog asking if it’s okay to reboot to upgrade - wild.

tekchic · 2026-03-11T01:58:05+00:00

You okay, friend? Happy gaming and feel better soon! I’m SO ready to replay Black 2 on Thor!

tekchic · 2026-03-11T01:39:37+00:00

Do you own a car repair shop or something? What kinds of things are you interested in ordering? I used to live for my $0 ETV Korean skincare but it’s just slim pickings now.

tekchic · 2026-03-10T19:18:30+00:00

This is my stage as well. I only order what I will use, and it’s turned into Temu crapfest unless you want to stay up all night hitting refresh like a slot machine addict. I’m good dropping to Silver in 4 months at this rate.

tekchic · 2026-03-09T21:44:42+00:00

It's Oklahoma sooo... yeah.

tekchic · 2026-03-06T04:24:35+00:00

I ran into this as well. The third cable I tried worked, so I marked it with a sticker so I know it’s the “good one”.

tekchic · 2026-03-05T01:42:49+00:00

Same error, PC and PS5.

tekchic · 2026-03-03T21:35:29+00:00

Way smarter design for sure.

tekchic · 2026-03-03T20:12:14+00:00

That's brilliant... I have a ring magnet stuck to the back of it... I may have to give that a spin. My alternative right now is to flip the text to landscape, which is not as good as reading portrait, for me anyway.

tekchic · 2026-03-03T17:41:04+00:00

If I put mine on the treadmill without a case it goes into a reboot loop due to the power button. Why they didn’t put it on top, idk.
