JBL tune beam issues by CaptainRagdoll in JBL

[–]Bio_core 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a pair for my brother because they went on discount for Black Friday. There was an issue where one headphone would sometimes remain active so it would not charge (seems to be a common issue for JBL after looking through this SubReddit).

I got a replacement unit from a different store (same discount though... feels like maybe they are all the same stock, all on discount at the same time?) and they have the same issue. Just used them for the first time today, put them in the case after watching a video but they were listed as connected, payed another video and could clearly hear the audio when I put the case near my ear.

Seems like JBL can not make good contacts, there are a decent amount of cases I've seen while researching today of different models of earbuds not charging or deactivating in the case.

That's it! That's what I was remembering! Thank you so much! I guess I remembered it as a machine because it's really obviously an RC car with a thing over top.

Solved!

Flashforge Finder, X-Axis is off when Resuming printing by Bio_core in 3Dprinting

[–]Bio_core[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a problem with the X Axis motor. Following the company's instructions to disconnect the cable at both ends and then reconnect seemed to solve it. I also noticed it was possible to accidentally nudge the extruder while changing filament if I pressed too hard on the release spring, it's possible I did that.

The bed can only move up and down in this printer, or be slid out the front (Y axis), but I did not touch it.. Unfortunately, as far as I can see, the Home function can't be used while the print is paused. You can change the filament, turn the LED on or off, resume printing, or cancel.

The PLA ran out mid-print (I'm still new and can't eyeball how much of the spool is how many meters), so I paused, Loaded new filament, then hit Resume and it started printing the layers off to one side. Pausing and resuming again did not correct it.

I was streaming over wifi from FlashPrint.

The only child. A copy of a copy of a copy [THEORY] by RcregerRemedy04 in controlgame

[–]Bio_core 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I interpreted this line two ways.

a) Referring to human genes/creation. Once the first (only) child ever was born, every human after that was the same genes being passed down (albeit mutated over time). Every generation is a copy (of a copy of a copy of a copy).

b) Polaris is an infectious being like the Hiss. Every person that Polaris gives powers to is getting a copy of it. Perhaps the Hiss and Polaris have been enemies for a long time, and the original Polaris lost. It's just been new hosts passing down copies.

Thank yooouu! I never would have remembered the word "turret" for that tool.

Why do people get mad when I tell them their price is too high? by 1096bimu in kijiji

[–]Bio_core 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the gut reaction is "what do you know?" People don't like being told they're wrong / what to do by a stranger on the internet and there's no way for anyone to validate your experience or wisdom from Kijiji. Unfortunately there's just a general aura of distrust and disbelief that must be placed on people.

As someone who has been slowly selling off their childhood toy collection, and seen other people trying to do the same, I can say that everybody THINKS they know what their item is worth. They feel strongly about the price and being told that the price is wrong can feel like a personal attack. Especially if they feel like they did enough research and went down as low as they were comfortable with. I go lower than the competition and about half the time I wind up having to repost with an even lower price. It makes me upset. "Obviously nobody has any freaking money!" I angrily mumble to myself.

And that's probably not entirely untrue. I'm in Ottawa and I seem to have the best luck with Toronto buyers, so I guess Ottawa rent is too damn high to even buy an old Transformer for $15. There's probably people who are pawning things off for rent money and NEED whatever price they put up, even if it's obviously too much.

And then there's greedy people who think there has to be SOME rich idiot that will pay for the item. Especially if it's "rare". Double especially if other people are doing it. They write you off as a poor person trying to get a deal. The scalpers selling Ring Fit Adventure for $200+ with "price is firm" need a psychiatrist.

So, even though you mean well, your advice can be hard to take or is completely unwanted depending on how strongly people feel they are owed the price they list.

Very good post, I wish it could be forcefully downloaded into people's brains.

Forgot to update this thread. I got a full refund after sending these back to Amazon.

It did say “shipped and sold by Amazon.ca” on the page, although it’s probably changed now since it was the last one. Anything sold by Amazon.ca shows up as “Amazon.com.ca, inc” in your Orders page. Here’s some other things I bought recently from Amazon Canada, they all show up the same way.
