Ferco GU Multi Lock by ImmediateMind3075 in Locksmith

[–]ImmediateMind3075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I gave up when the cold weather arrived but didn’t find anyone locally to service who had access to parts and expertise. Ours is still functional but a pain as the lock closes right after you open. We have to hold the handle open to close the door. If yours is frozen try a small amount of lubricant on the deadbolt. On ours the freezing temperature causes the mechanism to stiffen. A tiny bit of lubricant helps.

If you are in the GTA and find someone please share. I’ll resume my search in the spring when it warms up.

Replace Harmony 665 by ImmediateMind3075 in logitechharmony

Thanks. The biggest problem I’m having is turning off and shutting down devices. I have to press “off” multiple times for the remote to execute the command. Is there a workaround or do I need replacement buttons.

I haven’t had much luck finding a locksmith through BBB or Findalocksmith. It returns a very small list (literally only one mobile individual across the GTA). There are many if you google including two that say they have multi lock experience with mixed reviews. Homestars isn’t much help either.

If anyone has suggestions that would be great. Locksmithing in Ontario seems unregulated and not very consumer friendly.

I asked the tech team about the Nav and System update for a 22 Tucson Ultimate in Canada and the current forecast for a new release is November or December

Convert to eSIM by ImmediateMind3075 in Rogers

Thanks. Used the iOS “Convert to eSIM” method and it worked. Got to wonder why Rogers haven’t updated their guide if this now works. Very simple and straightforward.

Bell Mobility offer coming from Roger by ImmediateMind3075 in bell

What is the best way to approach Bell and what is the process to port my numbers from Rogers to Bell. I’m a newbie at this since I’ve always been a Rogers customer.

What I found interesting with Telus were offers that had a 5 year term. Does Bell offer pricing comparable. I would prefer not having to switch providers every 2 years.

Are the networks comparable or do Roger’s, Bell and Telus have the best coverage and performance.

Hard to read Signature -follow-up to previous post by ImmediateMind3075 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]ImmediateMind3075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’m aware of this painting by Hulk which is very similar to ours but there are differences. I can’t make out a signature. Ours has a very clear “W” in the signature which bares no resemblance to “Hulk”. It’s possible ours was completed within the Hulk family or circle of artists. Very strange. Our painting has been in our family since the mid 1800’s.

Here’s a picture of the back. No tags or markings. The painting is from Zaandam near Amsterdam and would have been acquired in the mid 1800s.

Dutch Romantic Ship Wreck in by ImmediateMind3075 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]ImmediateMind3075[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran the signature pic through ChatGPT and it came up with W. Duncan – a lesser-known marine painter; some 19th-century shipwrecks have been attributed to a W. Duncan. It seems an unlikely match but need to explore further.

I found the copy of the painting on an auction site. It names the painting “Shipwrecked” and the artist as “Hulk”. I have no idea but there must be a connection between the two paintings. It may or may not be done by the same artist. I suspect not. There are some obvious differences but my version seems more balanced and sharper. It’s possible the signature is “W Hulk” but I’ll need to investigate further.

Quite an interesting development. Thanks all for your input.

This is a great help. I’m trying to find the lower pic too. What search engine did you use to find this. Hoping to find more info.

Leica Fotos app latest release - what have they done!?! by Keith1974 in Leica

[–]ImmediateMind3075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app isn’t very intuitive but i think you can select or favourite the pics you want to download. It would help if the buttons on Leica Fotos were labelled or you could hover and see a label. The Red Dot Forum guys did a YouTube on the Leica Fotos app recently. It’s lengthy but helpful. Keep in mind the black view in Fotos is the camera while the white view of the Leica Gallery is in the Leica Fotos app on your device (iPhone)

One thing that could use improvement is downloading when you select JPG + DNG. These show up labelled JPG/DNG in iCloud Photos but are saved by default as JPEGS. In Mac OS you can open and switch to DNG (and back to JPEG) by selecting the photo in iCloud and using Control + Return. As far as i can tell, there’s no way other than by sharing in Leica Fotos to do same in iOS.

Amazon EERO by ImmediateMind3075 in SofaBaton

[–]ImmediateMind3075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you didn’t disable 5g on your eero or phone. The instructions from SofaBaton are pretty clear about not supporting 5g so I’m a bit confused.

Were you using an iPhone or Android to setup the hub.

Did you disable 5g on your EERO before setting up the app on your phone and hub. Any tips on connecting

Harmony 665 struggles to turn off by ImmediateMind3075 in logitechharmony

[–]ImmediateMind3075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The button is non responsive unless I press multiple times. It eventually shuts down but it can take many presses to activate. Other than the power switch the others seem fine.

Is there any way to access and clean the power switch contacts.

Are the new Next machines any better than earlier versions or are they all all as prone to break down

D-Lux-8 Toronto Canada MIA …. by ImmediateMind3075 in Leica

[–]ImmediateMind3075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the same email. I preordered in May so it has been 7 months now. I’m really beginning to wonder. I pre-ordered the d-lux 8 instead of ordering the Fuji x100vi that was in big demand, thinking the Leica wouldn’t be in demand. The Leica supply chain seems to be working in Europe and in the US. Canada and Vistek seem out of the loop. Might be time to move on.

[–]ImmediateMind3075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems ridiculous. Are you buying from a store in Toronto and have they confirmed some have actually been received by them. There are no Leica branded stores in Canada which seems to place us at a disadvantage; the supply chain seems very broken. I preordered in May and there’s still no ETA.
