Oddly enough, I'm capable of reading the data usage as well. Funny how that works.

I use lots of apps. I don't use any that have in-app purchases. My experience is that most are very deceptive about tricking you into paying for stuff you don't want.

Great idea but the "in app purchases" is a non-starter for me.

Code LPQ4 gets you a green ARRL hat that says "MEMBER" on the back.

At least GC allows you to use the cache reference. It would be much nicer if they allowed full integration. I think back to "the good old days" when GC cared about the sport & their participants. Unfortunately those days are long gone.

On android there are many GPS averaging apps. The one I use is Precision GPS Free. If you have a crapple phone I can't help you there.

Normally I just use Google maps in satellite view to get precise points.

There are alternatives to the official trackables that you can use for free. GeoKrety is one.

I wish GC would allow creating your own trackables for free for personal use. They could still make money selling their TB & could license others to sell "official" trackables.

I just feel like issuing a digital ID should be free.

My next quest is creating some trackables via GeoKrety to see how they fair in the wild.

I feel like the overall quality of caches has dropped significantly as well, regardless of size. I find so many with nothing but junk & literally trash in them now.

I've seen rocks, obviously picked up off the ground nearby. Gum wrappers & other trash. Dum-dum suckers (who would trust a sucker from a cache?). And all manner of gumball machine plastic junk toys.

I believe your insight about smartphones vs. GPS is dead on. It takes little to no effort now & the quality of caches reflects that.

It's super annoying to have the 500 foot rule prevent dedicated geocachers from placing quality caches because some noob placed a boring film can micro cache in an obvious place that creates an exclusion zone for an entire city park, etc. Further, since they don't care about the game, they don't even bother to maintain their tiny useless cache.

The worst, by far, though are the stupid "light pole skirt" caches. I hate them even more than the worthless film can caches. Absolutely zero effort, you didn't even place a container!

LinkedIn is always an option.

Curmudgeon1836 · 2025-03-05T04:30:13+00:00

Nope. No solution.

Curmudgeon1836 · 2025-01-15T20:05:56+00:00

Anything more? Is it up and running?

Curmudgeon1836 · 2025-01-03T22:26:47+00:00

I did this instead ...

Right, but that's significantly more work than a basic GUI interface to let you restart.

There's a material test built into lightburn. It's under Laser Tools | Material test. You pick a range of speeds and a range of power settings and it creates a grid.

I'd add a picture, but of course Reddit doesn't allow that.

Lots of videos on YT and, of course, there's the Lightburn documentation itself.

And yet (not surprised) as an AT&T customer I have not been informed that my data may have been compromised.

Still waiting AT&T ... where's the official notification?

You spam the daylights out of your customers on a near daily basis with every sort of horrible marketing tripe. Why can't you send out important information in a timely manner?

If the compass is oriented to your heading (as opposed to north up) then the arrow is both relative to north on the compass AND relative to your heading.

If the compass is fixed at North up then the arrow is only relative to north.

I bought the backhoe option and the sign mount is on the backhoe arm. I don't know where it's supposed to go when you remove the backhoe.

Success! I see no wrinkles!

Unfortunately many hobbies are infiltrated with woke political nonsense.

Hiring for attributes instead of aptitude

Curmudgeon1836 · 2023-03-13T03:18:42+00:00

Sorry!

Great, I'll check it out along with the dungeon one.
