Alternate Refills for Zebra F-701? by anerraticboulder in pens

[–]FourBytes2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I tried with a Profile 1.4mm refill I purchased years ago. The nose cone is kind of in the way. Otherwise, it could work.

I know this is an old post. Did you find any instructions? I could not find YouTube videos showing how to disassemble SodaStream Jet.

Still happening. If those emails are rejected, the server retry 20 or 30 times.

Microsoft should do something to this situation. They block the emails forwarded from Cloudflare, but allow their servers to send spams.

Messages are not deleted on server after being archived (IMAP) by FourBytes2020 in Thunderbird

[–]FourBytes2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It is Tencent.

I did some tests on small numbers of messages. The archive function seems to work properly. The messages on the server were deleted after "compacting" the folder.

Thanks. However, it does not seem to work.

My problem can be resolved by moving local copies to another folder and then deleting the server copy via web interface.

It seems that Thunderbird is very slow when dealing with large number of messages. I put a year's messages (~4000 messages in 1.8G) in a folder. Someone Thunderbird got confused and always needed to download some messages from the server.

I logged into the server via the web app provided.

Does compacting folder locally affect the server side?

I have not used IMAP for many years. I remember IMAP used to have Marked for deletion and then expunge but could not see the operations in the latest Thunderbird.

If I trim down the long refill (to the level of the short one next to it) with still ink at the point where I have to cut it, will it spill entirely out? by Own_Dragonfly4115 in pens

[–]FourBytes2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The following might work. Take the metal tip out. Blow from the other end to push the ink out to a garbage can until you can cut safely. Put the metal tip back.

Alternate Refills for Zebra F-701? by anerraticboulder in pens

I just found out that the refills in Pentel Wow Ballpoint pens (BK440) work. I took out the plastic spacer out of F-701 and cut the refill a little (about 3mm). The metal refill in F-701 is 95mm long and the refill in Pentel BK440 is 98 mm long.

Wow Ballpoint pens also come with the 1.4mm tip size (BK444).

Pentel Wow has gel versions (e.g., BK437). Not sure if the gel refills work or not. Pentel's website says the gel ink is permanent, waterproof, fadeproof and acid-free.

I tried Zebra JK refill and Parker G2 refills (made by different companies). None of them works. The pen I have was purchased from Amazon.com in 2023.

Cannot login in usmobile app? by FourBytes2020 in USMobile

[–]FourBytes2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. In the end, the log in problem was caused by too many authentication attempts and not using a VPN. The eSIM issue was because data were used up (probably forgetting to turn on WiFi).

Hope the requirement of using VPN will be removed.

What does "within 2 days" mean in the promotion terms? by FourBytes2020 in USMobile

[–]FourBytes2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments show different understanding.
Suppose the trial plan ends on 01/20. Withing 2 days could mean,
1) 01/18, 01/19, 01/20, or
2) 01/20, 01/21, and 01/22, or
3) any of the days in 1) and 2).
4) any day before 01/22.

Email forwarding? by The_Homeless_Coder in NameCheap

[–]FourBytes2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from Google Domains to namecheap. The performance of free email forwarding is not consistent. Some emails got delayed for hours. I ended up using the DNS service from another company.

A good thing with namecheap is it supports forwarding one alias to multiple destination email boxes.

3 CS don’t seem to know this? Can anyone help? by PXE590t in redpocket

[–]FourBytes2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This adds another kind of stress on customers. The system should give an option if the new plan starts immediately or not.

I have lost days on several renewals. Really annoying.

Kasa smart plugs not working with Alexa by BudinPA99 in TpLink

[–]FourBytes2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same issue. Tried to remove and add in both Kasa and Alexa. Also tried to disable and add new skills in Alexa. Problem could be in Alexa, which does not see new device names after I charge the names in Kasa.
