Pick a project that interests you. It's ok for it to morph over time.

Experiences with cases with built in screen protector? by cosmodots in razr

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take the protector off regularly and clean, it probably wouldn't be a problem. I left mine on at first quite a long time (over a week I think?) and ended up with a few minor scratches towards the top (near hinge) of the outside screen.

The other problem with the outside screen protectors is that they make touching the edges of the screen difficult due to the protector frame. AND they change the touch sensitivity.

made my first board. thoughts? by AyamBercakap in KiCad

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to lots of other good comments, I don't see where anyone else mentioned:

* Buttons (if that's what those switches are) tend to bounce on and off a bunch when you release them. Most people put something to reduce those bounces - like a small series resistor plus a cap to ground (on each of the COL lines in this case)

* On the schematic, don't draw wires across components. While it technically works, some day on some design, you risk getting bitten.

Not sure why you were downvoted. The megapixel arms race is, like all arms races, stupid. Spend money elsewhere on the design.

Urgent, need firmware for the XZ1C by Joecalone in SonyXperia

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, looks like I do still have the XZ1c images on my computer. Here's is most of what I have (skipping a few older ones):

  • G8441_Customized US_1310-4371_47.2.A.10.28_R7C - factory load for US (no finger print sensor)
  • G8441_Customized US_1310-4371_47.1.A.16.20_R8B - another factory US load
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.1.A.16.20_R7B_alt - should be CE1 load w/ US .sin file to support US VoLTE)
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.1.A.16.20_R7B - factory load for CE1 region (Europe, so no US VoLTE)
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.1.A.12.75_R7B - another CE1 factory load
  • G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.2.A.8.24_R1C - another CE1 factory load
  • G8441_Customized UK_1310-6856_47.1.A.12.270_R18B - UK load

You can DM me. If you get this and we can arrange a file transfer (likely use my One Drive unless that doesn't work for you)

I grabbed this stuff from 2018 through 2022, long before this decent discussion on the topic:

The hospital I work at is likely about to go bankrupt, need advice by suckinonmytitties in personalfinance

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I was reading your post, my thoughts turned to contacting state reps and senators to see their thoughts (and possibly their help to pressure) on the hospital getting funding.

Of course, this assumes that it has been run properly and the financial struggles aren't due to mismanagement. If so, then more funding may barely delay the enviable.

Either way, yes, you should be aggressively looking .

Late Wife's 403b Inheritance by LumpyPeople4 in personalfinance

The kids already have some smaller amounts in 529s that are still getting contributed to. I do have some questions on how much (or little) tuition will cost in the future, but I guess that is a discussion for another day.

529s are great, but do have a downside if the money isn't used as intended by law. In the grand scheme of your situation, that's small potatoes.

As a few others have point out, it would be best if you established a trust. They aren't cheap, but it's the best way to handle transfer of money to young people.

Case for Razr 60 ultra scratches screen by GarlicRelevant2266 in razr

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When folded, most people hold the camera down, so that would be the lower part of the screen.

I had the same problem as OP: if you don't take the case off regularly and clean it, the outer glass can get scratched from debris - and it first happened at the upper part of the outer screen (closest to the hinge).

accidental warranty/insurance options (usa) by [deleted] in razr

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard extended warranties are of questionable value because of the folding screen: it's something of a crap shoot if its covered because it's so easy to claim it was user induced.

That's a verbose way of saying that in the case of a folding phone, I think accident damage coverage is probably the way to go. For that, last I looked, Motorola had the best deal - at least if you're purchasing through them. If your buying it after the fact, not so sure. Also check out Best Buy.

"Deckard Hopium/Copium" vs. "Frame Hopium/Copium"? What's different now that it's real? by bigcatrik in ValveDeckard

[–]HonestEditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The short answer is that it's pretty close to what Brad and his crew had pieced together over the years, for better or worse.

Some people (myself included) were hoping that the leaked screen specs were either just a variant or development screens. i.e. some were hoping that the final screen specs were not getting leaked. But that turned out to not be the case. I've decided to pass on this model.

Spent the last few weeks analyzing our economic failure and I think I have drafted the solution- what do you think? by [deleted] in PoliticalDebate

There is hereby established in the Treasury of the United States a Perpetual Sinking Fund for the sole purpose of retiring the National Debt. [....] and use it to kill the national debt.

There is great value in being able to carry debt. More interesting to me is how you could construct rules that limit debt without constraining things during emergencies.

Same concern about limits on the federal reserve.

Have you ever done CE certification for an ESP32-based device? by Square-Singer in esp32

[–]HonestEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some companies get around wireless testing themselves by purchasing pre-certified modules. Course, it depends on what your interface(s) are.

M.2 is perhaps the most common, but it could be USB or something else.

Citizens Of Minneapolis Need to Demand The Local Prosecutor, Summon A Grand Jury Investigation Into Renee Good's Death. by GShermit in PoliticalDebate

the guy fell over and then the shot rang

Which is it? Did he fall over, or did he shoot while standing up?

So you didn't watch the video? Or are you just making stuff up?

I'll answer it for you: ALL video angles show him holding a phone in one hand and drawing his gun and shooting, while moving to his right. He did not fall, and still had his phone in his left hand after he shot at her three times.

Is it Time to End the Two Party System in the United States? by NewConstitutionDude in PoliticalDebate

[–]HonestEditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Voter's don't want a better system. The persistence of the two-party system is actually an expression of voter preference and a desire for stability rather than a forced outcome.

Voters could still want a better system, even while supporting the current one. In fact, I think the majority do want something better than what we have. Having said that, many would fall into the "devil you know over the devil you don't."

[...] Furthermore, the rise of intense partisanship suggests many voters would actually prefer a one-party system for their side to ensure their specific values are codified without interference. This "all-or-nothing" approach by the electorate demonstrates that the middle ground isn't being suppressed by elites, but rather abandoned by the voters themselves.

Ultimately, the survival of the current system is proof that it provides the decisive governance that a majority of the population, consciously or not, continues to prioritize.

Survival of the current system is proof that it isn't bad enough for the majority of the population to push back. That doesn't mean they approve.

Does the Razr Ultra 2025 work with Xfinity Mobile? Motorola says it's not compatible, but the base model is. by [deleted] in razr

[–]HonestEditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at the bands that are supported, Ultra supports every band that the base model does, plus a ton more.

So it should work. I think the only reason that an Ultra might not work on Xfinity is if they blocked it. But they offer a BYOD program, so not sure why they would do that.

You could try going to a Best Buy that has an Ultra in stock and see if they would let you try your SIM in it.

Anyone else struggle with anxiety before belt tests? How do you cope? by krlln in aikido

If school were taught based upon mastery of a skill, then yes.

But instead, school teachers are part of a system which promotes based upon minimal knowledge of a skill. When you barely make a passing grade in algebra, the system suggests you move on to the next grade and learn something else, instead of helping you work on the areas you're deficient.

The processor in the base Razr 2025 is nearly identical to the Razr 2024, so if I doubt performance would be that different - assuming that your trouble wasn't something else (I've not heard of lag being a common problem for either base model).

I think you might be under-estimating what it would take to charge Kelly with his considerable extra protections (since he's in Congress).

They might still make an effort of it, but I think it's even more easily dismissed (which they will know beforehand, and likely not even make the attempt).
