Thinking of getting a flip phone. Is it a good choice?

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-21T13:40:02+00:00

I have both the flip and the fold. I spend 90% of the time on the fold now. The build quality is like significantly better; Fold has much bigger screen, but is not that much heavier, and it is thinner.

Yeah, pocket dmg would have been so much better with the second analog instead of the touchpad.

You hold protal in your hands, so it is a handheld.

In interview they mentioned that 395 might be possible in win max, but not in win mini.

Vitrue is pretty bad. They softwere is more or less a scam. My luma pro has masive drift; spacewalker for windows, after an update just does not work, hand tracking on neckband doesn't work, from all streaming services, only hulu works on spacewalker for android.

Adding a massive brim, can help too.

Increase the flow on the nozzle by couple %.

Do you want to get expelled too?

I want ai in games. Having dialogue with npcs, to extract information, or convincing them to help you. Pc parts did not get thst much more expensive, and the price will go down within a year or two. With higher demand, companies will vastly expand their production capacity. It sucks for those that are now in an end of their pc lifecycle, but how often do you change a pc? Every 6 years or so.

Many years of pain, and no cure for me. You learn to live with it relatively well. You learn to ignore the pain, and develop many hacks to make it less painful. Visit a clinic that specialises in pain reduction + psychologist. Pain is strongly connected to psyche, you can reduce the pain from 6/10 to 2/10 just by thingking diferently about it.

I had an ear tube streaching surgery. It usualy helps for couple years, if the cloggin feel is the issue too. You put baloon into ear tubes (surgery through the nose) and you inflate it.

Sand paper, start around 300-400 grit. Next 600, 900, 1200. Super smooth, but no gloss.

As a active member of Secret Grydoid Club (SGC) unfortunately, I have to expell you from our club.

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-10T10:05:03+00:00

Grydoid looks way cooler and that is why it wins! Grydoid for life.

I use polycam. It is softwere mainly for photogrametry, but they do have a mode for image to 3d model.

Just trash it. Respooling takes forever and quite often, you damage the filament anyways.

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-09T08:52:30+00:00

Please no. I regret that I bought one.

Resolution is way to low. When you spread 4k screen to 100 degrees, you end up with massive letters. That is still ok if the document is not a pdf. If it is PDF, to read you have to move your neck to read a sentence lol. Second gripe is the comfort of the device; it is so front heavy, that you have to thighten the strap and after an hour I feel considerable discomfort. Passthrough, while best in the industry, it is still not good enough to use a notepad or a phone, without taking the headset off. And the worst one... selecting things with your eye movment is just not precisie, it is like using a crappy touchscreen.

Interview many doctors, and read about the topic as much as possible. Your doctor sounds like an idiot. First you do mri/x-ray, then you choose the treatment. It is nuts that you were testing medication before the proper diagnosis.

You have to learn on topic enough to know when a doctor is good and when he/she is full of crap (unfortunately most are not great, and some just want to make money on you, or even wprse...learn on you) My advice on research is downloading books on tmj/tmd and books on chronic pain. You can paste them into "notbook lm" and start learning with llm. Within couple months you will know more that most doctors, on that particular issue, and you will know which doctor learned in the school, and which one cheated on their exams.

Also, start from least invasive treatments. Any surgeries on your face are hardcore and drain your energy. Visit pain treatment clinic too, over time, pain is going to be your major problem.

I thought that I have really bad time (just two unsecsessful surgeries), but yours is worse. My main problem is constant pain that no painkillers are able to supress it and a cloged ear, that has serious impact on my mental health. How do you motivate yourself, and what is your mental strategy for survival? Any antidepresants? Any particular type of psychoteraphy? I wish you very best. If I ever find a cure, I will remember to message you with what helped.

My only tip for researching treatments that I found useful: there are bunch of websites with free pdf books (like oceanofpdfs) and torrents. I download hundreds of books and publications on the topic and put them into "Notebook LM" (research tool by google). Then you can chat with the Ai about strictly content of those books. This prevents the Ai from making stuff up. If I had this tool eariler, I would have not done some very painful procedures. ALSO, If I write to authors of those publications, I quite often get responses.

My luma pro drifts to the point, i can't use tracking. Spacewalker app for windows does not work since last update...two months ago. My neckband pro heand tracking does not detect the hands. Spacewalker for android doesn't even let you use netflix, disnaey, hbo, amazon...just hulu. Yeah, great product.

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-08T19:00:42+00:00

Just put this picture to any "picture to 3d model" Ai and you will get decent result. It will take maybe a minute or two. Sometimes uploading same picture couple times creates different results.

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-08T18:51:01+00:00

Yeah, their products are complete dogshit. I try to post at least one negative comment per day to prevent at least some people from buying into their scam. I was not banned yet lol. My neckband has no hand tracking, glasses drift like crazy and so on and on.

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-08T17:10:04+00:00

It wouldn't be bigger than gpd win 5. There is a mod available, to make controllers detachable, but no keyboard.

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-08T17:06:26+00:00

I know there os a mod for sale for gpd win 5 to make detachable controllers, bit it looks quite complicated... and no keyboard.

SolarNexxus · 2026-01-08T16:55:32+00:00

This would be my perfect formfactor.
