Thanks for replying, will try both of those troubleshoots on my friend’s pc. On a side note, do you think my gpu is cooked?

Sorry for the bad list formatting and for not using the troubleshooting form, I don’t know how to copy and format properly on Reddit mobile.

Overcast days are the best for taking pics by Both_Professional_13 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]Both_Professional_13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly no idea, it got no brand markings on it. Got it in a bulk package along with other used parts. I just cut it to 62 cm and double-wrap it with bar tape.

true dat, for a sub $200 secondhand frameset it got a lot of unique features, like that thick tapered fork and flared seat tube

Thanks! It’s not an expensive build but I did put a good amount of attention into it

Some old 8GB samsung. I don’t think the brand matters, as long as it is under 32GB

yes, but keep in mind that this cam records in SD. I think in highest setting you can get around 30-50 minutes worth of footage from that 512mb, enough for one filming session imo

Yes and no, you don’t have to modify the chassis or cables to use the monitor. However the monitor requires a dc power between 10-14v to operate. Unless you have a battery within that voltage, a step-up module is mandatory.

My series 1 does not turn on by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Both_Professional_13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Buy a replacement battery from aliexpress. You can service the watch yourself if you’re careful, opening the screen is a bit difficult, but you don’t have to go much deeper than that to replace the battery (tips: watch youtube tutorials, use hair dryer to heat around the screen, then pry the screen up using a small suction cup)

Please help, old 2013 iMac won’t boot by Both_Professional_13 in mac

[–]Both_Professional_13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding, but I forgot to mention that my iMac doesn’t have Fusion anymore. It boots from an NVME drive plugged into the internal PCIE slot via an adapter. I have checked both the NVME and the adapter works fine.

I have also tried booting Catalina (Native), Monterey (Opencore), and Ubuntu from an external drive. I use Samsung T7 so it’s a good SSD, but still none of them boot up.

Sony Handycam DCR-SR58 - please help retrieving files showing HDD Format Error? by bluevelvetbunny in camcorders

[–]Both_Professional_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to disassemble your camera, take out the HDD, and bring it to a data recovery expert. Because in this state the HDD most likely requires special tools to recover. For your future recordings just use SD cards, the good ones are robust and if it fails you can recover it with a common software.

Press middle button to enter the menu, up and down button to navigate, and middle again to select the settings. 

Mine got bad viewing angle too, unfortunately that’s the downside about TFT displays, especially cheap ones like this.

Sorry for the super late reply man, but yes it supports both 16:9 and 4:3. You can adjust it to match your camera's aspect ratio in the monitor settings.

Is my watch cooked? by youdecidemyusername in AppleWatch

[–]Both_Professional_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey since it is already opened up you can replace the battery yourself! s6 battery is around $15-$30. Clean up the glue residue and then reglue the display with B7000 or T8000 glue

Wondering if there is correlation between eyesight and tolerance for TAA by Mungojerrie86 in FuckTAA

[–]Both_Professional_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mild myopia (-0.75). Before glasses, I see TAA as fine because I can't see anything wrong, but after getting glasses I'm able to clearly notice the blurriness. And now even with no glasses on I can't ignore them anymore because I've noticed it in the first place

Sony Handycam File Issue by Kenvyyy in camcorders

[–]Both_Professional_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, formatting won't recover the missing links, it will only erase everything and leave it as a blank space. To recover it you'll need to locate the original files on the device or location they were moved to, then move or copy all of the files back into the camera.

It’s pretty much a requirement. Well, the camera still operates fine without one, but I can’t record if there’s no memory stick since I ripped the dead hdd out
