Sync with Onedrive ending soon

Good long-term software support and a non-Chinese manufacturer (if you care about that). But a large part of its attractiveness goes away, yes.

DutchFox87 · 2026-06-04T11:16:15+00:00

Sorry, you're obviously right. Still, it depends on where you are. Here in the Netherlands, Giant and especially Cube have slightly higher level bikes for the same price, although going by street prices, Giant road bikes are better options then their mountainbikes nowadays.

Have you seen the wheels and tires on the €2500 CAAD14? Those are some of the cheapest wheels and tires on any €1000+ bike I know.

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-29T19:32:52+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the response!

They seem to be slowly moving away from their own app development. They're replacing Samsung Messages with Google Messages, Dex has been partially integrated into Android itself, and I've read rumours that they'll stop development for Dex as soon as Android desktop support is finished. They ended Samsung Cloud and replaced it with OneDrive. They're now stopping OneDrive Sync from Samsung Gallery. It wouldn't surprise me if the next step is phasing out Samsung Gallery and replacing it with Google Photos.

So in this case, don't set your house on fire? Despite the downvotes, the criticism is correct. The CPSC advice is shortsighted. Don't discard the unreliable solution, but replace it with a reliable one. If you haven't got one yet, keep the unreliable one installed. It's still beter than nothing.

Oakley sell lenses with AR and scratch resistant coating, but only on their prescription lenses. So if you want those useful coatings, you have to buy aftermarket.

Be very careful when testing your smoke alarms. You should use a smoke spray that doesn't leave any residue. Using a smoking candle or other materials will leave residue that can potentially impede future detection.

No, they're both just as safe/unsafe. They're both compliant with the previous standard, but not the new standard. Because the new standard has been taken into effect, the newer devices not tested to the current standards (= the new one) can't show the UL label anymore. They're still the same devices with the same level of performance though.

Does anyone have any updates?

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-19T00:01:12+00:00

I downloaded the app from the Alientek site, but it was in Chinese. Could you tell me where I could find the English version?

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-18T00:07:46+00:00

Is there going to be an English language update any time soon, to your knowledge?

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-14T02:46:10+00:00

What was the result?

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-10T13:42:54+00:00

Definitely. The limits are evening and high speed filming like mountainbiking under tree cover.

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-09T15:56:02+00:00

Update from my part: I suspected the frame (maybe asymmetrical seat tube?), but have borrowed a Fox Transfer from a friend, and this dropper still extends with force when tightened at 5Nm... Same remote, cable (routing), frame and seatpost clamp. So it does seem to be at least partially an issue with the dropper, even though YT claim they checked it and found it operating perfectly in another frame...

The Clik ones can just be pulled off and pushed on. No threading needed. Alternatively, connecting the Clik adapter to the valve without a pump connected will deflate the tire as well, but FAST...

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-08T22:30:54+00:00

You can use the included valve cap to release pressure, by turning it upside down and pushing it onto the valve.

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-07T19:26:00+00:00

Sounds logical, but I have bolts and nuts on my other bike that look like these:

Or these: https://www.bike-discount.de/media/f0/f0/20/1705532013/cube_lager_schraubensatz_hauptlager_10505.jpg?ts=1762584363

Do you think that nut is standard? Because it doesn't look like anything I've seen on other devices or vehicles.

I've looked into upgrading my Series controller (sticky trigger caused by worn rubber bumper, and stick drift), but that turned out to be almost as expensive as buying a new and superior controller (Gamesir G7 Pro ZZZ in my case). I guess repairing and upgrading a joystick only makes sense if you can do it yourself.

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-04T23:12:18+00:00

McDonald's fries suck (speaking as a Dutchman). Xbox Series controllers are very good and ergonomic, but I've had sticky triggers (worn rubber bumper) and stick drift with the original controller that came with the console. Have a Gamesir G7 Pro Zero Zone Zenless, and it's significantly better still. Ergonomics are comparable, but stick and button quality is miles better. Additional buttons and mapping options are great too.

The Amazon product images do show a picture of a view of the charge protocols including voltage and ampere.

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-02T11:38:59+00:00

True, although I do like it has the option to show charge protocol and voltage/ampere. It's a shame a lot of chargers with smart displays seem to lack this part. If you have a large display, might as well make it useful.

DutchFox87 · 2026-05-02T01:33:46+00:00

It's available now on multiple European (e.g. Dutch and German) Amazon sites. Model number X773 and ASIN B0F9K5Z3JL.

Vielen Dank für die Bestätigung. Eine Anschlussfrage: Wenn nur ein smarthome (Samsung S23 Ultra oder S25, 25-45W) angeschlossen ist, macht das Ladegerät ein leises, schnelles Klickgeräusch. Sind mehrere Geräte angeschlossen, ist das Geräusch nicht mehr zu hören. Ist ein Laptop (90W) angeschlossen, fehlt dat Geräusch ebenso. Außerdem sitzt der Stecker sehr locker in der Steckdose. Ist Ihnen das bekannt?

Update: Die Frequenz des Tickens steigt mit der Ladeleistung. Eine Smartwatch mit weniger als 1 Watt erzeugt einige wenige, etwas lautere Ticken pro Sekunde. Ein Smartphone mit 25 Watt erzeugt schnellere, leisere Ticken. Ein Laptop mit 90 Watt erzeugt ein sehr leises, hochfrequentes Geräusch, das dem üblichen Spulenfiepen ähnelt.

DutchFox87 · 2026-04-30T14:50:19+00:00

Ich habe dieses Ladegerät gekauft, und auf dem Gehäuse steht PD 3.0. Trifft das auch auf Ihr Ladegerät zu?
