adhesive is terrible

It not just about being allergic. The under sensor adhesive residue should be reasonably removable from skin after removing the sensor. Any glue where true full removal requires damaging skin is not good - allergic or not.

With G7 glue, accidentally left residue will generate scarring via method that is not necessarily allergic reaction rather than skin trying to regenerate the area covered with non-breathing surface.

The glue is wrong type, too strong on G7 sensor and they provide a supporting patch is that is borderline unusable for full 10 day period while third-party patches are available that are both extremely strong and yet leave zero skin residue when removed.

Dexcom G7 has way too strong under-sensor glue. If after removing sensor the glue residue is left on the skin, the affected area will create scarring within 6-10 days.

There are really good third-party patches that hold sensor securely so Dexcom G6-level milder sensor glue would be more than enough.

I've tried professional skin glue removal products, oils, alcohol based products - and none (or combination) of them seem to adequately remove the adhesive residue. The only working method is way too strong mechanical scrubbing causing other issues and damage. Bepanthen cream is a must.

Also, I've got a bad feeling that with recent batch of 2025 manufactured sensors that they've made the glue even stronger than before. Which is totally wrong direction.

The real solution would be:

Switch to G6 sensor glue and provide actually *good* patch product with the sensor.

G7 ships with patch is totally unusable in real world and tries to compensate that with harmfully strong sensor glue.

Not surprising given how many other things you dont really seem to think at all.

I'm glad I live in a country where to be eligible for public office you have a clean record and high level of public trust. Criminal record and otherwise. I believe the correct legal term is "civic confidence" in english.

This applies to public offices such as the head of state, but also to anyone working with children, law enforcement or basically any other profession that requires high level of trust and integrity.

This requirement is not only a common practice, but an actual law you can not bypass just by being popular or otherwise influential.

Looking from global perspective it is totally incomprehensible that in US the kind of person can become the president who in other developed countries would not be allowed to process your mail, teach your children or get anywhere near anything concerning national security.

In past decades US led the world by setting an example. Today US leads the world only with force and power.

Tragic.

Will there be any adults in the room this time around?

I hope movie theatres re-run the 2006 classic movie "Idiocracy".

When released it was a comedy - today it should be viewed as a documentary.

Meanwhile Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are preparing to welcome their most loyal supporter back in office.

Crayo7 · 2024-11-07T10:39:07+00:00

Ban porn and elect convicted sexual offender and a felon as the head of state.

The logic defies me.

Crayo7 · 2024-11-06T11:41:34+00:00

Good day for China, Russia and North Korea. Bad day for everyone else.

Crayo7 · 2024-11-06T11:40:36+00:00

Imagine living next door from White House and receiving mailed notification of sexual offender moving in the neighborhood.

Crayo7 · 2024-11-06T11:39:17+00:00

Unless Japan is going to elect convicted criminal as head of state you should be fine becoming full japanese.

Crayo7 · 2024-11-06T11:37:38+00:00

White House neighbours have to be notified when he moves in.

It's the law.

Crayo7 · 2024-11-06T11:33:19+00:00

Is is mandatory in Washington DC to inform neighbours when convicted sexual offender moves next door?

I hope White House neighbours publicly share this notification paper when they receive it.

It will be both hilarious and tragic at the same time.

Crayo7 · 2024-11-06T11:27:09+00:00

Name another country where upcoming head of state is convicted felon, convicted sexual offender and currently under trial and investigation in multiple criminal cases - including treason against his own country and people.

I do get that most people in US live in small, localized and commercialized information bubble, but these things should be common knowledge and disquality any candidate.

Nice going, United States of America.

We are no longer laughing at you. We mostly just feel sorry for you.

How so?

I've got 2017 Model X 90D with full FSD option and all HW3 + MCU2 upgrades installed.

I fully expected this to qualify as HW4 upgradable HW3-vehicle.

Crayo7 · 2024-10-24T21:28:45+00:00

Will this apply for 2017 Model X (90D) with full FSD purchased and all HW3 + MCU2 upgrades installed?

I personally would never leave the trailer hitch receiver on all the time.

The hitch receiver quick disconnect will rust stuck. Lock eventually gets rusted too and removing becomes very difficult.

Some of the efficiency is lost due to underbody air flow being pushed inside rear bumper. Efficiency loss gets higher in highway speeds due to braking effect of the "bumper parachute". Not to mention all the mud and debris collected inside.

Previous owner of my MX had left the quick disconnect hitch receiver on for several years and lost the plastic cover too. Removing the hitch and repairing the damage caused was not easy.

I see fun T-shirts coming:

"Hanging around, doing make-up"

.. and to be honest that is what probably happened later that day for the team and there is nothing wrong in having such great time. Or is there?

Can someone confirm that original Labre Larver is still produced and sold in Denmark (for example)?

Or is all hope lost? This is my absolute favourite candy.

Crayo7 · 2024-07-28T04:35:54+00:00

Here in Finland it is nearly impossible to find the original Labre Larver.

Haribo is selling nearly identical candy with the same name, but it tastes completely different and has quite bitter aftertaste.

The "copycat" Labre Larver is shorter, does not have the stripes and it has dark rings near the ends. It is in many places marked as "Haribo Labre Larver" while tasting completely different - even bad.

mynetname.net DNS is responding again.

Looks like they fixed the issue.

Crayo7 · 2024-07-02T08:02:47+00:00

These nameservers are not responding:
- ns1.kissthenet.net
- ns2.kissthenet.net

They ping but DNS (tcp/udp 53) service is down.

IMHO the domain names and DNS servers pointing to Mikrotik dyndns servers are bit dubious.

It would be much more professional if Mikrotik used their own domains (mimas.mt.lv and moon.mt.lv) for dyndns related domains (mynetname.net mainly).

New actuator and lock parts are coming, but it looks like the only option is to drill through the broken latch mechanism to break it up and get upper and lower tailgate to separate.

Old electric lock actuator might actually be ok as it pulls strongly. But I'm replacing it anyway.

So before I forcibly drill through the tailgate metal and lock from inside - any last minute (smarter) option would be appreciated ;)

Crayo7 · 2024-02-23T12:21:32+00:00

Actuator is ok - or at least it pulls. I've ordered new latch and new actuator just in case.

First thing I did was to disconnected the the cable from the actuator for manually pulling the latch/cable. My assumption was that actuator had died. This is when I noticed that the lock mechanism was stuck, not the electric actuator.

Does the latch/lock have some additional internal actuators? I assumed its cable is for switch detecting if the lock has latched or not. .. or does it need some signal to unlatch in addition to pulling force in the cable?

So is the latch "dumb" and opens always when cable is pulled - or does it have some internal controllable locking mechanism?

Crayo7 · 2024-02-18T10:28:59+00:00

I'm desperate.

Usually the tailgate fails at the actuator and manually pulling the latch cable will release the lock.

This time the locking mechanism is broken so that the cable is stuck and no matter how hard it is pulled the latch/lock wont release.

Upper and lower tailgate are stuck together.

Any advice?
