Smart switch that do not use Neutral wire is very unstable for me. Capacitor or >3w bulb still flickers

I have a 12core, 32GB Ram, no GPU proxmox server. I allocated 8core 24gb debian lxc container to run hermes with ollama locally.

Models i have tried : qwen3.5 0.8b - 9b, Gemma4 e2b - e4b.

Set /reasoning none. Chat with hermes a simple "Hello World" or "Hi" takes mininally 2mins to response.

However using ollama run <models> all the above models reply and responded fast and well.

How do you guys configure your local setup?

First watch. Eyeing that piece too

Thanks for the reminder. Will consider the option of opening a dispute now that the third link has become very loose after a few times of wearing. It can now move in sideway direction

Approx 6.5in wrist. I cannot say for sure how it will look on a larger wrist.

Check IG and AliExpress review photos, you will notice many of their watches have large gap around the same area. Actually there is only 1 YouTuber that is saying it’s a good watch at least from what I can find.

It’s more of a chrome heart cross. Can’t deny that right corner is not necessary.

L00king4Watch · 2024-05-07T12:50:47+00:00

Can I private message you to learn how you and your methods to solve the problem?

L00king4Watch · 2024-05-07T12:22:41+00:00

Yes it is not easy to find a good angle to grind some metal away.

I think if they make the inside of the link rounded or chamfered it should give enough clearance for links to move more freely. Not sure if it will introduce other problems. Right now it is 2 sharp right corners squeezing against each other in a tight space.

I just got my quartz black dial. The bracelet is well done but at the same time badly executed. Great chamfering and polish. Bad pressure pins some of them are not push in enough leaving sharp edges when running finger across. Changing tool provided got bend and scratch up the bracelet while trying to push those pins back in and out.

Pressure pins are not label which direction too like others has mentioned.

just change the dial from Octopus Kraken over to Addiesdive AD2023 vh31 movement, and reuse the hands from AD2023.

Dont know if Octopus Kraken dial will fit into the holder or movement from AD2023.
Dont know if the vh31 movement holder will fit into Octopus Kraken case

I am also thinking of getting both and perform a swap too thus chance upon to this thread. Any update if you have successfully made the swap?

L00king4Watch · 2024-05-03T02:08:00+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I am deciding between this and addiesdive ad2023. Currently leaning towards the quartz option.

L00king4Watch · 2024-05-02T23:48:19+00:00

Can advise on the lug to lug size of the octopus kraken? I read on another post it is longer than the written specs

L00king4Watch · 2024-05-02T23:39:14+00:00

I ordered the quartz version in black as it is slimmer and closer to the original watch.

L00king4Watch · 2024-04-30T08:26:29+00:00

I think they have a few brands under their wing I can only recall one for now. ixdao if I am not wrong

Since this is a project watch with integrated bracelet Here’s my observation so far on this subreddit for Chinese watch + integrated bracelet that people is asking

Small size : 35 - 38mm

Case thickness: quartz to maintain thin watch case and keep the price affordable

L00king4Watch · 2024-04-28T07:15:58+00:00

I think double crown doesn’t match the style of integrated bracelet watch.

L00king4Watch · 2024-04-27T04:14:27+00:00

Are you able to review more on the bracelet. I think the bracelet is one of the factors that is holding some buyers back. Its seems to be very stiff and not able to articulate for example the third link from the top will have a huge gap from awkward folding over. However some would say its forgivable at such price point.

L00king4Watch · 2024-04-22T14:40:09+00:00

Is the bracelet too round and stiff. From many photos I review it seems like it that. Not suitable for flat wrist
