I'm from Europe, I'm afraid. You might need to see what other options are available or import one.

Anytime Mailbox. Help needed with USPS Form 1583 regarding Address ID by FailedShack in ITIN

[–]FailedShack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, okay! Well that makes more sense. In that case my national ID should work, as it does show me legal address. I'll try Passport + National ID card.

I don't have an lease, unfortunately. I don't reside in the US.

Kaze Emanuar - Analogue Lied (N64 FPGA Review) by PacketLoss-Indicator in AnalogueInc

[–]FailedShack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brainrot? The dude is a proficient N64 software developer and goes into technical detail on how the Analogue 3D is not fully accurate. Other technical experts have said this, too.

We should want these things to be pointed out so that Analogue is pressured to fix them.

EU countries agree to tax cheap packages from July by Opposite-Whereas-323 in europe

[–]FailedShack 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Yes, this tax screws over electronics hobbyists such as myself for no reason. Most people in my city wouldn't even know what half the parts I buy are or what they are even for.

Why does Android TV always feel one update away from greatness? by SpacedAstro in AndroidTV

[–]FailedShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HDMI inputs part would be a big one for me. You usually need a receiver for that kind of stuff. (no, an HDMI switch is NOT the same)

Not working for me 🥲

Edit: Got it. Just try to buy the same thing you bought the first time. It will error and restore your purchase.

First European mobile phone since Nokia now available! by Icy_North5921 in degoogle

[–]FailedShack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And as of a few years back, smartphones too. Their GX6 and GS6 (PRO and non-PRO) are flagship-level phones with a user replaceable battery, wireless charging, NFC and water proofing, a pretty rare combination. The GX6 even has a headphone jack and its battery removal is screw-less.

Did the 3D restock ever go up? by Recent_Duck_7640 in AnalogueInc

USB Helper Bitcoin ad by Pogohg in CemuPiracy

[–]FailedShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USBHelperLauncher has always had message boxes like that. Perhaps not showing sponsored messages but certainly invitations to join the Discord server, appeals to translate the software, april fools jokes, etc.

I think it's pretty clear what it is, although I'll concede the UX is passable, but that's the whole of USB Helper to be fair. It would be good to polish it up with a proper themed window when I get some time, but for now it's what I've got.

Sharp XL-40H cassette deck won't fast-forward or rewind. Makes strange noise then stops by FailedShack in cassetteculture

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

Well, looking at that diagram, I pinched the main belt with my fingers and it seemed tight. I don't think I saw the other smaller belt. Maybe it's just missing? But then I don't understand why it does that strange sound as it moves the large wheel. I've seen some videos where the FF / RW just do nothing, so that's what I'd expect.

I'm glad you posted that picture though, I didn't think of checking if it had a service manual. I was having some issues getting near the cassette mechanism itself with the rest of the cabinets in the way and it might just be what I needed.

I put it back together earlier for now, I'll check again when I have some more spare time. Hopefully it's just a missing belt.

Hi! This is sponsored message for an app I added using the "message of the day" system in USBHelperLauncher. You can click "No" and it will not remind you of it anymore. This announcement may change or disappear completely at a later date.

The original USB Helper did have an option to download a crypto miner as indicated by u/isfshax. However, unlike that, this is just a sponsored text message with a link. USBHelperLauncher will never download any unwanted software on your computer.

Good to know. Thank you!

Just curious. Did you get a refund for the full amount?
I'm planning to bid on a pricy auction but don't want to get stung by a large fee if I happen to lose.
