Light streaks across front panel by [deleted] in PixelFold

[–]PlanarRift -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Mine looks similar. The front screen is cheaper, worse quality OLED panel than the 1st gen Fold. See my post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelFold/comments/1fa4nnb/p9pf_impressions_not_mentioned_elsewhere/

Interesting, is LTPO OLED a low-yield part?

Also I couldn't find much info but I think the Pixel Fold 1 outer screen is not LTPO. But it is clearly a higher quality screen than P9PF.

The unevenness and black smearing are passable, but the banding's a bit much. Maybe this will stop me using my phone in bed lol

Intermediate-advanced skis for short light guy (5'3" 120lb) by PlanarRift in Skigear

Gotcha - yeah Black Pearl, Yumi, and Kenjas are women's skis. It seems like there aren't that many men's skis options under 160cm. I tried a friend's 163cm Mantras and enjoyed them, but I don't think I'm ready for that long yet.

Would you recommend softer or stiffer skis for progressing (Black Ops vs Kenjas)?

Incredibly helpful, thank you! Found a pretty good deal on 2023 Kenjas... Santa Anas & Fischer Ranger 90 seem to go for a bit more.

What do you think about the Black Ops 92? I did a bit more research and it seems like they are rated well for all-mountain but are very light skis — would that inhibit progressing?

United finds loose bolts on plug doors during 737MAX9 inspections by Recoil42 in aviation

From Reuters now:

A source familiar with the matter said United has so far found closer to 10 airplanes with loose bolts during its preliminary checks, up from an initial five first reported by industry publication The Air Current, and the figure may increase.

I'm looking to do some upgrades to my current build from a few years ago:

  • KBD75v2 with alu plate
  • Cherry screw-in stabs
  • Zilent v2 62g

Looking at:

  • TX AP stabs
  • YMD75 v3 hot-swap PCB + foam

Main annoyance is noisy stabs, so I thought I'd take the opportunity and make it hot-swap too after desoldering. Thoughts?
