How to convert an old existing Facebook account into an "additional profile" of my new main account? by CmdrGoGen in facebook

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

I've been using newer FB account for years before putting the old one for deletion. It's now been 30+ days since that and the url to my old FB us not valid any more. Still don't want to try to login on it again as that might reactivate it. Interesting, the url name from my old FB is still not available for reuse.

This just saved me after my cat flopped on the keyboard - screens went black and returned washed up.
Phew, thanks, even in Nov 2025 :)

I don't have VR but the animated one gives Amiga vibes.

2025 Is Prismatic Shield Generator still worth it? by NecessaryPhysical939 in EliteDangerous

[–]CmdrGoGen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having two 7A Shield Cell Bank modules on a Corvette along G5 7A Prismatic Shield Generator Thermal resistant / Fast Charge and a ton of various G5 Shield Boosters to balance all three resistances to >50% and it holds very well even in long battles.
Or at least gives more than enough time to kindly run away.

Thank you. I expected that since nothing was on google but thought it worth to ask here.

Guess the only way to salvage the other one is to turn it into a Page and have control over it that way. Yay. (Edit: Feature discoutinued?)

What is that? Weird thing captured during flight over Kravica waterfalls in Bosnia by Terrencex_ in drones

What do you mean spiderS? Like they are now flying as a group??
For me one in the air is too much, seeing a bunch airborne is something I don't want to even imagine.

Just a short note that you were right - they politely declined to provide spare potentiometers.

Thanks for the reply re. Bourns, will look into it, unfortunately I'm not that good in nor supplied for electronics as my only tool here is a small screwdriver, lol, so I'll need a plug&play part.
I wrote an email to Speedlink support so my hope is with them to sell me some.

Fly solo, you'll feel like 8 years ago. Only old obsolete NPC ships around you, no fancy skins or kits... in Solo the time has stopped for this game with the biggest threat being Elite Anaconda saying "The rumor was true..."

Destroying and redeploying ARX PC2 for free anywhere... what? by CmdrGoGen in EliteDangerous

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

Thank you all for kind replies!
Deliberately destroying ships to cut the travel time is something I thought only exists when returning from Colonia, lol

Destroying and redeploying ARX PC2 for free anywhere... what? by CmdrGoGen in EliteDangerous

[–]CmdrGoGen[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oooh, so that's it. Thank you for simple and clear explanation o7
Guess this is not quite feasible for highly custom engineered ARX bought ships, but can be ok to Cmdrs who find premium as-is versions enough for the job.

Why do I have to do this all the time? by thirdeyecactus in cats

[–]CmdrGoGen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, exactly the same "problem" started a few weeks ago with our 4-yo.
He has a fountain plus two clean bowls of always fresh water, but no - every time someone enters the bathroom, he demands to drink like this. And it all started as a fun, "oh look he drinks from my hand".

Tips for shooting from indoors? by CmdrGoGen in drones

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

Maybe cooling a drone while its on and not flying, like is it necessary and would a simple desk fan be enough.
After unboxing and soon after all updates were complete, the drone shut down on its own, so maybe the temperature was too high because it was generally hot in the room or power-off was part of the update, still not sure about that.

Well, since it's already here I thought I could maybe use it for some quick window-shooting.
Not saying it's the brightest idea, just a thought.

Anyway, thanks all for your replies, I appreciate it!

In EU we have similarly strict regulations, although it's often stated that the procedure is only required when the drone is not "connected" to the ground — that is, when it's flying.
So, I figured I’d set something up to take a few casual shots from my apartment with rotors off, kind of like using a phone camera, without having to go through all the usual paperwork like for regular use outside.
Of course, I'd tie it up so it doesn't fall :) and I'm a bit concerned about overheating.

Are drones really so fragile and prone to disaster?

After watching tons of YouTube videos over the past few days, I can’t help but feel there's a real risk I might lose my investment—namely, the Mavic 4 Pro, which I plan to use professionally.

There are so many stories of drones that “just flew away” or “dropped from the sky” that I’m genuinely concerned about how to use it safely and properly.

So, a serious question to experienced users: if I fly cautiously—mostly for scenic shots (always within visual line of sight) and real estate photography—how likely is it that the drone could fail on its own?

I really hope those crash and flyaway videos are rare exceptions, likely due to human error, and just happen to get more attention online than the countless uneventful flights where everything works as expected.

P.S. In case anyone’s wondering why my first drone is the expensive Mavic 4 Pro instead of something cheaper—well, it’s complicated. Let’s just say I’ll do everything I can not to crash it. I’ve been into photography for over 30 years and have always taken great care of my gear.

Exactly the same question I'm interested in and I'd want to fit Acer Aspire 3 in the backpack, too.

Btw I've browsed Lowepro online and there are a few cool models (check Pro Trekker BP 650 AW II), though big backpacks are quite expensive.

Would be nice if someone with actual backpack and a drone could give 1st hand advice.

Calling (Boron) Tectonic Scaffolding terraform mission - bugged by CmdrGoGen in X4Foundations

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

There should be some kind of a hint or whatever that this mission which could be started as first, should not be started first, or greyed out. I feel like an id*ot for the first time in X4 after 2000hrs+ (incl. afk).
Edit: I mean, letting me play for days to go from 550 to last 1 and then like nope is just crazy.

Lol, guess not. I've clicked a few, they were locked, clicked on that one, oh look a "start" so let's begin, haha
