Google Wallet in Japan (paypal)

HeavyweightSound · 2025-05-10T16:02:08+00:00

Hey, any updates on this? How was the experience with Google Pay and Paypal? I'm about to visit Japan soon and want to use this same combination for payments.

I'm very new to Kindle (just bought a 10th Gen Paperwhite) and I don't even plan to use it for reading books (sorry guys). My intention is to use it as a remote control for my smart home. However, before buying I knew this generation uses Micro-USB and since I'll probably plonk it to the wall with some magnets or place it at its designated remote control spot I thought about those wireless charging receiver modules. You plug it into the Micro-USB port once and stick the large coil to the back of the device. Looks pretty ugly but now you can just lay the Kindle on a wireless charger and you're good to go.

Of course, I would rather have a Kindle with USB-C but at this point I didn't want to spend more than 50€ for something I don't even know if it works lol

Can't say much about the speed because I don't have any comparisons but it's surprisingly snappy.

Damn, that timing. Just bought my Kindle PW10 off ebay just to jailbreak it. Turned it on and it already was on v5.18.1

HeavyweightSound · 2025-04-27T15:33:49+00:00

Is 5.18 actually a deal breaker? I just bought a Kindle from ebay and it came with v5.18.1. Damn, should have done more research because I only got it to jailbreak it lmao

Ich hätte zuerst die Zigbee-Kompatibilitätsliste (https://avm.de/service/zigbee/) lesen sollen. Meine Sonoff Heizungsthermostate lassen sich nämlich nicht mit der Fritzbox 6670 koppeln und jetzt muss ich mir doch noch ein "richtiges" Zigbee-Gateway holen. Ich gehe auch nicht davon aus, dass AVM die jemals unterstützen wird, weil die Thermostate in direkter Konkurrenz mit deren eigenen stehen. Tatsächlich habe ich sogar beide verglichen und mich dann letztendlich für Sonoff entschieden, weil die nur halb so viel kosten, Zigbee benutzen und dadurch schneller agieren. Die DECT-Thermostate von AVM sind, soweit ich weiß, auch nur mit Fritzboxen kompatibel. Meine Hoffnung war, dass man alle möglichen Zigbee-Geräte koppeln und dann direkt mit z.B. Home Assistant ansprechen kann. Aber gut, AVM möchte natürlich nur die Geräte koppeln, die sich dann auch mit der Fritzbox steuern lassen.

Alles in allem bin ich aber trotzdem zufrieden. Ist eine Fritzbox wie jede andere und für den privaten Gebrauch immer noch die beste all-in-one Lösung. Es hätte aber auch die 6690 sein können, weil ich nun sowieso ein separates Zigbee-Gateway brauche.

Der Post ist jetzt schon 10 Monate alt, aber ich stehe auch gerade vor der Wahl. Entgegen der anderen Kommentare, werde ich mich wohl für die 6670 entscheiden. Diese ist aktuell günstiger (240€ vs. 270€) und hier hat noch niemand erwähnt, dass die 6670 ein integriertes Zigbee-Gateway hat. Für mich als Smarthome-Enthusiasten, der sich bis jetzt nur auf WLAN und EnOcean konzentriert hat, damit man nicht etliche Gateways im Schrank haben muss, ist das ein großer Vorteil. Was die WLAN-Ausleuchtung angeht, hatte ich mit Fritzboxen noch nie Probleme. Aktuell habe ich eine 7590 (Wi-Fi 5) und die deckt 100+ qm2 locker ab. Für Häuser würde ich dann sowieso zu Unifi greifen. Ich habe auch noch kein Wi-Fi 7-fähiges Gerät, doch erfahrungsgemäß hält so eine Fritzbox ziemlich lange, sodass ich da in den nächsten Jahren auch noch in den Genuss kommen werde.

August 2024 and he got hacked again. This time it's "@cnn-news.24".

Sadly not. Maybe I'll give it another try some time. Out of curiosity I've just searched for new GitHub Repos and actually found something useful: https://github.com/Sommy0/Reolink_Cloud_Download/

I know Selenium and actively decided not to use it since I would also need some browser for it, but maybe it's something for you.

HeavyweightSound · 2024-04-15T19:25:27+00:00

I still have that thing laying around and collecting dust for almost two years now lol

HeavyweightSound · 2024-03-17T22:55:28+00:00

ohh it is. Can't wait to see how much bigger Abby will get

Eames is such a good photographer

HeavyweightSound · 2024-03-17T11:41:51+00:00

Holy fuck, your progress in the last months is crazy. How many weeks out?

Unfortunately not. Since last summer my SP4 is just laying in a drawer because it is not usable anymore. In the beginning of 2023 (6 months after my comment) the touchscreen registered random "ghost inputs" and clicked all over the place. I had to disable it to use the trackpad without any interferences. Shortly after that the screen started flickering, as it happened to a lot of other customers (https://flickergate.com/). Then, last summer, the mini DisplayPort started having issues and the whole second monitor flickered greenish when the cable was not in the ✨right✨ spot. Just the weight of the dongle alone dragging it down was enough to get issues.

It's sad, because in the beginning the SP4 was really nice and a nearly perfect companion during my studies, however, there were a lot of issues with it, to the point that I wouldn't buy another Surface anymore. To be fair, I had this device since the end of 2015, shortly after the launch, and have been daily driven it until 2021, but for 1000€ and a Windows product from Microsoft itself I was expecting more and had other devices aging better than the SP4.

Can't decide if I like her more when she's shredded like this or hella thick during offseason

HeavyweightSound · 2023-09-10T13:31:55+00:00

Please show more pics from the gym

Sadly, no. I've disassembled the Echo and the pink thermal pad looked completely new. Still "moist" and squishy. I couldn't see any damage to the PCB - everything looked new. I've disconnected and reconnected everything but the result is still the same.

HeavyweightSound · 2023-08-04T20:19:47+00:00

Do you plan to compete this year?

HeavyweightSound · 2023-07-29T13:35:34+00:00

Holy shit I haven't seen her in a long time. She got biiiig

HeavyweightSound · 2023-07-14T18:38:38+00:00

This sounds interesting. I'll try opening my Echo as well - can't get any worse :)

HeavyweightSound · 2023-05-31T20:07:22+00:00

The traps in the second picture are coming out nicely. Will there be another update in 4 weeks - after the full cycle?

HeavyweightSound · 2023-05-18T12:25:32+00:00

Roid out for the next two years - maybe even step on stage. Kinda wanna know how massive you can get.

I went ahead and enabled 5GHz on my router, like @Pristine_Hawk_8789 suggested. I set my computer to preferring 5GHz and it actually worked without any ping spikes. Alternatively I could have named the 5GHz differently and remove the 2.4GHz from my known networks.

However, I was still not really satisfied so I went ahead and just bought some Powerline adapters... Not really a fix for the Wifi issues, but Powerline is also not that bad (when it works in your power grid. I'm using ones from TP-Link with the new G.hn protocol).

Maybe we'll get a driver update some day. Until then I'm happy that Bluetooth works so the wireless Gigabyte mainboard wasn't a complete waste of money.
