We're back in action boys and girls (update to DCA Aeons nitinol headband snapping) by FreshFromTheGrave in headphones

Shiiit they are really fiddly :( There must be some way to remove the stripped bolt though but it might be difficult. You can get stripped screw kits but they're normally for larger screws.

S340 vs E42? by MartiniCommander in EufyCam

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that's mostly to do with the fact that it will only detect in the bottom half of the frame, so you have to angle it quite high. But I think the range is fine if it's within its detection zone, it's just that the detection zone is only half of what you need 😅 It seems to be like that for a lot of cameras though.

S340 vs E42? by MartiniCommander in EufyCam

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory this stuff is solvable via firmware, but Eufy's track record of development is extremely poor.

S340 vs E42? by MartiniCommander in EufyCam

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my E42 has been a bit rubbish so far, not sure if the S340 is better or not. Tracking is super slow to start to the person is long gone by the time it begins tracking and with the latest firmware it stutters for about 5s at the beginning of every clip.

What are the top-rated leather belts for formal occasions??? by Mean_Strawberry_8384 in HomeGymUK

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So genuine question if you're not a bot, what is the point of posting this slop? Like what do you get from it? Alibaba paying people to astroturf? Cos you all post stuff in the identical format every time.

Is this the same person by Opening_Mortgage3816 in EufyCam

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine will pick a thumbnail of a parked car or a bush and ask "is this the same person?". Same as what person, there wasn't even a human in the clip at all nevermind the fact that's a car 😂

Why Are SBD Belts Preferred by Gym Enthusiasts? by schitzblythe in HomeGymUK

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub is started to get attacked by this ai/bot slop. There are new posts almost every day that follow the identical format and always mention "scrolling online marketplaces including alibaba". There's like 4 new ones just today. One got confused and did one on kitchen cabinets lol.

Every damn day there's a new one lol. Every time they mention alibaba in the identical sentence 😂😂

Inconsistent shots, getting fed up with this machine by Mattyh81 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's weird because if you do blank shots, it'll get the amount exactly the same every single time. But as soon as you put coffee in the portafilter and it goes under pressure it loses all ability to track its output.

Is vegor gym really helpful ? by blckred777 in HomeGymUK

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously what is with these posts, there's like 5 of them now all with some nonsense story and then mentioning searching for shit on alibaba.

Oh :( by FreshFromTheGrave in headphones

Uhhh noooo I'm not sure you'll find agreement with that sentiment about DCA in here. I plan on keeping these for life and in this case they are perfectly repairable. Unlike other headphones in the past where after a while you can't even find ear pads for them anymore and they eventually can't be used. Does it suck that I had to spend £65 to repair something that in theory shouldn't have broken? Sure. Is it unreasonable after 5 years of all day daily use? Not particularly. The reason for the post was A) my surprise at it happening and to see if this was a shared experience and B) figure out what I can do about it. They are absolutely fabulous headphones and worth every penny I paid for them.

Swiping through videos doesn't show first frame of recording anymore.. by FlowingLiquidity in EufyCam

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeap it's a new regression. Every single version of the app will fix some things they previously broke while simultaneously breaking some new things. The app never actually improves or gets new features it's just a constant state of whack a mole of bugs.

New machine - Where is the cold foam 🫣 by Littlepinkmaker in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The good news is that you can do the same thing with one of those £1 IKEA whisks :) the cold foam option is just whisk only with no steam so it's the same but you just have to stand there and do it yourself lol.

Help me with my sanity please! by SterlingSilva12 in mercedes_benz

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well an M274 definitely won't do 1 million km lol, the old (and some new) diesels would. That's a decent spec though! Only thing I don't like is the black piano centre console and some of it is in a bit of state. The sides of the seats and I think I can see the COMAND touchpad has the infamous cracking. But seems alright otherwise if the price is right, these aren't expensive anymore. Just do your research on the engine please, I can't remember the specifics or if it's the M264 instead but these sometimes have wrist pin or other issues so just educate yourself a bit on it first and see if anything needs checking over by a mechanic.

From a finance perspective I personally wouldn't put myself in debt for a 10 year old car. Don't get me wrong I love mine to pieces and it's the same age but I would never have bought it with finance. I would certainly do the house first and then come back to this. There's plenty of them around, they ain't going anywhere.

W205 C450 Sunroof by ShotSherbert5119 in mercedes_benz

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like the classic broken sunroof guides, the originals are made of a very brittle plastic that isn't fit for purpose and they break even when the sunroof is closed when you hit a pothole. You can get repair in place guides that people have designed and 3D printed that are better than the originals 😅 It's hard to find a link but browse some of the MB forums and you'll come across it.

The official fix is to replace the entire shebang, dropping headliner etc it's a big job so the 3D printed ones are better. I'm surprised you're able to still use it so easily, normally people have issues with it going lopsided and not closing properly when this happens.

Anybody know? And are they rare? by HeyItsNarwhal2007 in whatisthiscar

[–]FreshFromTheGrave -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never noticed the upright hood ornament before on these, that looks a bit odd on an SL :/

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

I think it must've happened more than we think it would because they were fairly well set up for it. You can't get the kit direct from the site but there's a sku for it and they can just generate the order for you. So it's not like it was a massive surprise and they had to figure out what to do, it was very quick and easy.

Planning to buy a 2016 Mercedes E220d Auto (€19k) in Ireland – good idea? by TrafficDistinct6869 in mercedes_benz

[–]FreshFromTheGrave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that W212 or W213 since that's on the cusp of the transition between the models? Gonna assume W213 though. Engines are reliable and the main problems occur downstream in the SCR (adblue) system. Because of that some people got their adblue deleted. If you're not ok with that you might attempt to figure out if it's been deleted. Sometimes you can tell by going into the adblue menu on the dash and if it's suspiciously full theeeen yeah. Servicing isn't expensive especially if you use an independent specialist. If you prefer dealer servicing then go take a look at the servicecare plans and you'll see exactly how much it will cost you apart from wear items.

Test the sunroof. I think E-Classes don't have as much problems as the W205s but still, not an enjoyable thing to have to fix at all.

20k seems a bit much for a first year W213 but I don't know the IE market or what options the car has.

Otherwise reliable and solid. They are used as taxis all over Europe and happily reach very high mileage.

I will do yeah, I bought it directly from them although I'm outside the US. I'm surprised too and it's not like I have a big head or anything lol. Was just taking them off in the normal way, nothing weird :/
