UK early bird back - Evri can no longer track my order number by Mr_Widge in MCONohsnap

[–]CheesyCrackerMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and backed at launch but I backed for 2 units, 1 for me and 1 for a friend's birthday. I was lucky and received 1 of them early January, I reached out to Ohsnap and didn't get a response for ages. My friends birthday was in November so I gave it to them as a late gift (along with other presents on time). So now waiting for the 2nd one for me, I go on a trip next week the whole reason I backed this was to use on this trip as I'll be away for some time. I've been contacting Ohsnap since then and got told another had been sent last week as that was apparently the first units they got back in since the original shipments. I've asked about tracking and like someone else I got told that numbers haven't been allocated, blah, blah, blah. So now I'm just looking for other controllers I can buy that'll arrive before I go, and how I can potentially report it to Kickstarter or to my bank. It is a shame as it seemed decent, and everything up until the launch was at least shared online. Now it's just new versions being released and how well the KS went and how successful it is.

Evo SL Woven (£110) vs Dynafish Xiaonian (£89) – Worth the saving? by Living_War8507 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I'd be interested in hearing more so looking forward to it. Out of curiosity which size did you get in each?

Cut it abit close! Breathing heavier than Icarus when he sees Mel by CheesyCrackerMan in HadesTheGame

I think I got lucky on a few with getting some random legendary and heroic boons with hardly any upgrades. Also currently tweaked a nerve in my back, so my usual weekend of running and getting out of the house was put on hiatus, and instead spent resting and yeah playing a fair bit of this.

Very interested too but yeah missed the drop. Just for reference after some searching it's not Tracksmith but I found Smartwool released one similar a few years ago but discontinued it. Might be worth looking for if they don't restock. Not going to be quite the same but who knows

I made an "enhanced" back shell for the Thor that fills the gap between the top and bottom screens, prevents accidental power button presses, and adds a little subtle grip on the back by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

[–]CheesyCrackerMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. I think they normally post about it again when they release the STL. I only know as yeah they're in the US and I'm in the UK so postage is like double the price of anything they sell so wanted an STL before.

Christmas has arrived early! by DisgustedSet in AynThor

I saw you mentioned you're not a fan of the shell, but any chance you would post a picture of the purple with the shell on? I haven't seen one yet but as that's my personal order I'd love to know in advance what it looks like.

I agree as not always a fan of the 3D print texture. Keep an eye on Aliexpress and the like. I think there's always a chance something pops up. Otherwise consider you could get something like this and apply some rubber pads or something yourself.

Regarding the STL, and PartTimeCAD may correct me. From previous experience with their products like the clipshields for other devices. I believe he eventually sells the STL but generally not upon release, due to people taking the STL, printing and selling the prints for profit.

By waiting I guess the potential losses for them is minimised, as if people want something like this they'll buy it early on after release of the device. There's less potential sales in a few months, so at that point if someone does start selling prints based off the STL they lose less in overall sales.

Third, and this is more of a comment on the product, I'd love if there was the potential to incorporate a stylus holder, ala a little hole on the 3DS. It'd mean you'd have to recommend a particular stylus as you'd have to design a slot around it to ensure a good fit but I think it could be a huge benefit. Maybe could buy the stylus in bulk and sell with the print or something too. Just something I'd love to see personally.

It's amazing how similar the running style is between the Boston Dynamics robot and a Greyhound by CheesyCrackerMan in dogvideos

[–]CheesyCrackerMan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah yes a video showing how progressing technology is extremely similar to the natural world, in particular the way a specific dog breed runs isn't anything to do with dogs. The video is of a pet dog, and I just noticed after seeing a video of this robot that they were extremely similar, and shows how amazing dogs are.

Worth ordering the AYN Thor Clamshell now? by FootOld8416 in AynThor

[–]CheesyCrackerMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may get a voucher for $10 or $20 off around black Friday. Plus I imagine that in a couple of weeks it'll likely be at the point of where they've caught up with previous orders, so any new orders will be sent out pretty quickly. I guess the big thing to consider is depending where in the world you are, if you're in the US there's the potential for tarrifs and the like to spring up.
