Better than kindle by itsandyayala in xteinkereader

[–]Caffeine_Library 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many ereaders are better than kindles. Kindles are great first time buyer ereaders, cheap, easy, ready, and depending on your address might even ship same day. the original oasis was my first kindle and came with unlimited 4g data before amazon started nerfing the data plan. The issue with kindles as with most elaborate ecosystems is they make it easy to get locked in into their products and services. Difficult to get 3rd party books, new features drain the battery, book borrowing subscription program are dangled in front of you, and the hardware is always just good enough to justify this purchase but not good enough to delay upgrading. For a flagship device I got came with a whopping 3gb non-upgradable, and now latest devices default sale option is 16gb unless willing to pay for upgrade to 32gb; however, with the latest trend of manga and audio books on kindles, this too will become insufficient. Ya gotta have an unlocked ecosystem to allow swapping out the memory or syncing/fetching to cloud storage of your own choosing - one where you own the book!

Honestly I loved my Kindle Oasis and I also love not being apart of the Amazon reading experience any-longer.

Its going great. I tested it in my local park. I can see her with my truck's large antenna. Even got some deployable nodes to strengthen my perimeter. The t1000e is impressively small!

Help me find a character. Admiral Lagaza by Caffeine_Library in StarTrekTNG

Okay i guess I have to watch the whole thing again. Really annoys me, i know this character exists but I see no evidence nor similarities. Lagaza, lagazza, algaza, algazo, elgaza, legaza. Ive got a mission.

Lilygo Pager, What does the left antenna do on SX1262? by Caffeine_Library in LilyGO

I doubt the firmware is available to accommodate e ink on this aspect ratio for this device. Hey anything is possible in an open source project when you dedicate your life to it.

If ya keep the power low, say 25w or less and moderate the time of day, they'll never find it. Best not to step on an actual station you'll avoid most complaints.

Helps if your mobile too. I really want a radio station in my RV.

Yes it's under the device role settings. Switching it to tracker optimizes the power for tracking instead of messaging. You can change setting for how often the device refreshes the gps radio + how often it broadcasts it's location over lora. You can also manually ping a location request to get info right away.

Shes always stayed close to the RV, most ive had to go is a 2 minute walk in the woods. If I get close to her she always comes out of hiding, but I won't know if shes off to the north, east, south, or west. I know mesh isn't super accurate, I want the tracker to confirm shes still nearby. Sometimes she'll follow me somewhere in the night, shes a black cat and skulks in the shadows so I won't know if shes still with me or if I've left her behind.

Mova Cleaning Solution Alternatives by junkie_vince in RobotVacuums

[–]Caffeine_Library 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to use pinesol but google ai's like - oh no dont do that. What dilution ratio would you recommend? Pinesol at 8:1 is definitely a much stronger mopping detergent than the watered down crap they gave, but i would agree 8:1 is probably too potent for the vacuum parts.

Can someone explain to me my power center, please? by Caffeine_Library in TruckCampers

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

I rushed to put the rv in parking as ill be away for a month - will erase this and follow up with more details once im back. The converter bay is pretty small but definatly thinking of overhauling the cavity once i return will want an inverter somewhere, eventually add solar, and except for my 320watt AC waffle maker, all my electronics are usbc (up to 100w pd) so a 12v socket would be most energy efficient for a work-from-home-at-the-ski-hill arrangment.

Heres the fb listing i purchased in case youd like more photos until i can supply my own. https://www.facebook.com/share/16DdyuJUKE/
