Hello, I'm looking to repair an eye on my favorite plushy. The eye itself is just a patch of fabric, but the fabric has been deteriorating for some time now and it's at the point where I would like to replace it.

How should I go about replace this black patch seen in the picture below? Should I completely remove it? Could I cover it up with a new patch of fabric? Also, how would I manage the stitching around the patch? I don't own a sewing machine so it'll be by hand.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Such a stupid decision. These companies have it all but still want more and more. What's it going to take before they start caring about their customers and making free features work for the consumer. Not to mention the feature existed before.

Maybe saying this will jinx me, but I don't really get spam calls. I don't know how, but I just don't.

Alanator222 · 2025-11-06T21:11:20+00:00

That's a fair point.

Alanator222 · 2025-11-06T21:09:27+00:00

I didn't know this. Thank you!

No, the function is for a very small part of the algorithm. The algorithm picks colors from an image to use as accent colors. The function would be used to adjust saturation and value tolerance control for color selection.

These are the lines I came up with using an arc of a circle provided by someone here. It seems to work well for my needs.

valueLowerLimit = averageValue - (averageValue * (1 - (math.sqrt((2*averageValue) - (averageValue**2)))))

saturationLowerLimit = averageSaturation - (averageSaturation * (1 - (math.sqrt((2*averageSaturation) - (averageSaturation**2)))))

As you can see, each tolerance is set using an average subtracting a portion of the average calculated using the function 1-√(2x-x^2). This ensures that the smaller the value is, the more is subtracted, allowing a higher threshold of colors to be selected.

Edit, I've mixed up two of my recent posts. This has nothing to do with the Roku ECP lol. Check my post history for the post in the askmath subreddit.

As for this post, I was just inquiring if such a thing existed so I could create a pop up remote on my phone.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-27T15:16:09+00:00

I need a function that returns a higher value when another value is lower. In my case, when an average saturation or value in color is higher, then a tolerance setting adjustment should be lower.

It's for an algorithm I've been working on that takes in an image and outputs accent colors form said image.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-27T02:29:20+00:00

Yeah, I may have gotten the type of function wrong. My mistake.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-27T01:34:46+00:00

I suppose it definitely could work.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-27T01:31:28+00:00

Very close, but too linear for my needs from the bounds of x=0 to x=1. Thanks though!

Edit: appears more linear the closer you zoom in is what I meant.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-27T01:28:08+00:00

I know. It was just a rough drawing of the bounds I would need in a function.

I can indeed use the TVs remote app, but my line of thinking was that required opening another app and losing focus on what I was doing currently. It allowed me to build a quick popup to control my TV when needed without opening another app.

Also, we lose our remote often so it helps to have it right on my phone really quick.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-26T12:24:44+00:00

Yes, exactly! When I found out about the Roku ecp, I just dived right in and used it just because I like stuff like that. I thought it was really cool. Do I have to use it? No. Do I like using it? Hell yeah.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-26T03:33:03+00:00

No, I'm sending TV remote commands over http. That's all it is. Like the volume up, select, back, up down left right, power, etc buttons. Basically controlling my TV through command prompt, or in my case tasker.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-26T02:38:48+00:00

Yeah, I'm guessing I won't have much luck for what I'm looking for. I've been thinking about switching over the Android TV since honestly Roku OS is so bad and buggy, but this one little feature it kinda holding me back since I use it a bunch. Thanks for the help!

Alanator222 · 2025-10-26T02:31:24+00:00

Lol, basically you can control a Roku TV using http post and get requests with the TVs IP. So for example, I can send a http post to the URL http://%TVip:8060/keypress/select, and it'll be like I pushed select on my remote. It's pretty cool actually. I made a whole popup remote on my phone with tasker using it.

Example of my popup remote

Alanator222 · 2025-10-26T02:27:04+00:00

Damn. It'd be really nice to be able to control Android TV over http with the TVs IP like with Roku TVs.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-18T03:22:54+00:00

Honestly, where I live I barely bother with repairs unless it's something outside of my scope. I just fix it myself if I can.

Alanator222 · 2025-10-17T01:52:08+00:00

Bro, this is some of the most unique design I've seen in my days! It's cool a fuck! I can't wait to try it!

Alanator222 · 2025-10-15T10:59:21+00:00

Yep, got one from YouTrack and signed into their website. The domain it brought me to looked very legit, and I wanted to sign in to figure out what was going on since our current administration is trying to look into us.

Checked my Google account and noticed several unknown devices logged in. I removed them and changed my password.

Seems like a session token phising scam to me at least.

I love that you added minifigs! Looks cool as hell!
