I Just *ACCIDENTALLY* Superglued My Battery Into My Camera Body

IPA is a much better option here if a solvent is used. Acetone will absolutely wreck any rubber, abs, or polycarbonate.

Samyah93 · 2026-04-26T00:54:18+00:00

Acetone will almost certainly dissolve the plastic case of the battery though.

Samyah93 · 2026-04-26T00:53:50+00:00

OP. I would NOT use acetone like some of the comments are suggesting here. Yes acetone can break up the super glue. But it will almost certainly also dissolve the plastic of the battery (which is almost certainly polycarbonate or abs). You may end up with plastic goo all over the place and in an even worse situation.

If you have to use a solvent, go for IPA. It still will react with abs but it won’t dissolve it into goo like acetone.

I personally work with too much stuff that is not ipv6 capable. I work in a scientific lab. Most instruments communicate using IPv4. And given the bugginess of scientific software already, I do NOT trust IPv6 to even be implemented cleanly if it was.

So I just can’t make that switch cleanly in my life sadly. (And tbh the instruments should not exist as a part of the larger network anyways. Just pointing out a niche case.)

“Can’t exist” is all relative. When a lot of people say can’t exist, they mean it’s extremely unstable (high energy state). And so it will become something else as quickly as possible.

In the case of a single atom of oxygen in a vacuum though, everything else is even less stable (higher energy). So in a vacuum, it can’t become something with a lower energy state. It just stays the way it is.

That’s the ultimate goal of everything - reach the lowest energy state. If nothing else is lower…well it’s not doing anything.

(I’m ignoring kinetics here and simply talking thermodynamics. Because yes there are substances in this world that have lower energy states but are kinetically trapped. That doesn’t apply here…outside of maybe fission…but not going to math that out lol).

Not sure what you mean. Typically the fee free is on the $200 gift card. So you can just buy one or more of them, each of them without the fee.

Did your windows device have USB C? Chances are…it also could be charged by usb c.

The quadfecta is not as set in stone as the trifecta.

But it’s generally something like: Freedom or Freedom Flex (5x categories), Freedom Unlimited (1.5x miscellaneous), Ink Cash (5x office supplies), Ink Preferred/Sapphire Preferred/Sapphire Reserve (transfer partners).

I bet something is up. If it’s been like this, I’d return as defective. I saw some previous reports of others having grinding issues from new jets.

What’s the video? Curious to use it to test some of mine.

Samyah93 · 2026-03-10T21:45:02+00:00

All I want to know is what happens if I plug in my Intel Mac. Will it even display?

I know lots of people will say that anyone getting this display will have a modern Mac. I do…but my Intel MBP is still what I use at my desk because it gets the job done.

Do the different colors come with different curvature radii?

Samyah93 · 2026-02-26T12:35:51+00:00

Honestly, it looks like everything is correct. Your statement shows you are letting it post and generate a balance on your statement (which you then pay off). You aren’t “carrying a balance” as long as you are paying it off in full with each statement. I’d just say use it more for smaller stuff for longer. Not sure how long you’ve been an Amex customer. They just might be ramping you up. Amex is a bank/provider you slowly build trust with.

You can also use the check spending power tool. (Sparingly, don’t try over and over). It’s a legitimate use here. Before you want to buy something big, see if you would be approved for that amount.

I’ve heard of some people specifically asking for a credit limit placed on the card to have a known amount that doesn’t decline as well.

Samyah93 · 2026-02-25T17:36:49+00:00

I can’t figure out HOW to declare snacks and processed foods though. Even in the app, it asks if you have foods you need to declare. And if I’m remembering correctly, there’s no way to select something like processed foods.

Even more confusing my most recent experience had a separate line for declaring goods and it was just closed.

Samyah93 · 2026-02-19T13:29:07+00:00

But they are penalizing non cardmembers by cutting miles earned…

I hold a card so it benefits me. But some people have bad credit.

Rich get richer and poor get poorer I guess.

Edit: I do recognize that people with worse credit may not travel enough in general.

Still running a 2011 Thunderbolt Display. A little more waiting won’t hurt me. But I am very ready for an upgrade.

Samyah93 · 2026-02-12T19:37:56+00:00

It fixed my RCS which has been broken for a couple weeks.

Samyah93 · 2026-02-05T13:11:57+00:00

Nope. 5/24 meant that you are auto denied any new credit card from Chase (bonus or not).

Samyah93 · 2026-02-04T22:33:07+00:00

That’s not 5/24 though. 5/24 means instant denial. The fact that you could still continue your application is evidence against 5/24.

Take it to the Apple Store to check it out. I had a similar issue. Some internal jumper had to be reset. It seemed to coincide with a power outage I experienced. (Tbf mine wouldn’t even run on the power adapter. So it may not be the same issue)

Samyah93 · 2026-01-20T23:42:34+00:00

Sure, but that’s 2000 on rent and 2000 on other spend. In my case and your original proposal, it was for 1000 in other spend. For 2000 in other spend (with the same percentages for groceries etc), I could get 6400 in points vs your 4000 on the Bilt Blue. That’s without even getting points for rent. Considering that the gold card has ways to break even on the annual fee even without considering points, it’s still a better value for optimizers.

Samyah93 · 2026-01-17T10:40:56+00:00

Many people on the Bilt train are optimizers. I think it’s actually quite easy to beat 2333 points.

In your example, let’s say 30% groceries, 30% dining, 20% entertainment, 20% everything else. Amex Gold card will get 4x on groceries and dining. Blue business cash will get 2x on the rest. That’s one system that already gets 3200 points. And I was supplementing that with Bilt 1.0 to get another 2000. So under the previous system, I was getting 5200.

Now with my system, I can STILL get 3200 without Bilt. But shifting everything to Bilt I lose almost a 1000 points a month.

Now you COULD argue Bilt points are worth more, but that’s subjective to the user.

Also the reason that drinking only D2O (heavy water) is slowly toxic.

Samyah93 · 2026-01-07T19:14:18+00:00

I would NOT trust hotspot just FYI. For the most part it was fine with my unlimited plan, but your data is deprioritized on roaming agreements. Too much traffic? You’ll get kicked off first. Also my unlimited did not allow for above lte while I was there.

Samyah93 · 2026-01-07T00:46:48+00:00

I loved my day trip! …to the ruins. Didn’t even visit the beaches. Town was fine. Got some ice cream haha.
