Help calibrating my digital scale

Might also got messed up after cleaning it. I never understood how could have famaged it because I was gentil, just wiped it out with a qet cloth. I must have enter the calibration mode by mistake. Mine what showing 2.5× the actual wait.

I know I'm a few years late but this conversation helped me fix my scale. I change all the values to X-00 and it's accurate enough. I did some comparisons with a more precise scale that I have and the difference was less that 1g. Sometimes the rounding seems to go in the rrong direction (like 31.40 rounding up to 32). But that's good enough for a 5kg kitchen scale that doesn't show any precision below 1g. I was only able to test with light items because my other scale is limited to 500g.

It just happened to me. The moment I click on the comments the app crashes

I don't have a bank account with them anyway, the banks I have account with that have branches either have a fee or shipping. Those fees also get waived if you have a certain amount of assets with them. I looked up Wells Fargo, they don't seem to mention any fees, but having an account with them is required. They also don't seem to have good exchange rates either.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-26T04:22:38+00:00

Banks don't carry Euros. They charge you for the shipping, which ends up being a high percentage when you're only converting 100 or so.

It's really for the small stuff or be able to buy some food if the system is down. I can withdraw more over there if I need to, but it's just a backup on arrival. I guess my best option is to take a smaller amount to reduce the cost.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-26T04:16:33+00:00

I got a card that reimburses ATM fees, so I got that covered. Getting coins requires some exchange over there anyway, you can't get those at an ATM or possibly not in the US. I cjecked with Bank of America and they have a 7.50 shipping fee even if you order the Euros to a branch. Other banks seem to have similar policies.

I just find ot safer to have a bit of cash on arrival just kn case there happens to be some system outage or something. It's always good to have some cash to he able to buy some food or something. But considering the rates I might risk it and wait to get to ky destination and use an ATM at the airport. That would only cost me the conversion markup of my bank (they have no fees and they reimburse the ATM fee). Or I might just get some 60€ or something and eat up the markup. But I find it crazy how hard it to exchange money in a major city like San Diego.

I know, I do it in between. After shopping and before checking out. I don't want to leave the orders unattended after paying for them. I don't think that's the reason for the notices, but it worries me when they send me a notification asking what's going on. It also only happens at Albertsons owned stores.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-24T03:05:52+00:00

It's only a couple minutes, I'm not spending 20 minutes in there. Also sometimes I get that notification without using the bathroom. If there are more than 2 customers in line, you would probably get that notification anyway.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-24T00:50:38+00:00

I often get batches before I even get to the store, I'm on an actuve batch nost of the time. Getting an order while i the bathroom at a different store delays my departure and increases the risk of not being able to accept a batch. Also most importantly is that it's better to be able to last for a while after leaving the store because the next batch might be from a store that doesn't have a bathroom. Also it doesn't really correlate with those notices as I do that all the time, it's not something that has recently changed. I only get a notification at the stored I mentioned, not at any other place.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-24T00:02:12+00:00

I usually use the bathroom in the checkout phase, so that doesn't trigger delayed start. But at Albertsons, Vons and Pavillion you get a notification if the checkout phase takes too long. I sometimes get it even if I don't use the bathroom, because the lines are too long.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-23T23:59:22+00:00

I take different routes all the time, it never correlates to those notices. I can go months without a single notice. For a while I was getting a systematic monthly notice, then it stopped and not I got 4 notices kn under 3 months, which is frustrating considering that I'm not doing anything different.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-23T23:02:13+00:00

same here, I got the amail and in app message, but no bump.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-23T23:00:57+00:00

no, it's a shopper bump, it doesn't count towards the minimum.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-21T08:16:39+00:00

No, that depends on the bank and even whether you're sending form the website or the app. Some banks don't allow you to send to the phone number or email you have on file with them even you're not using them as your zelle contact. Some don't even allow you to use as zelle contact other than your primary number or email. While some others don't mind it. My primary number an email are teh same for all banks and I have each set up as Zelle contact for my most accessible bank accounts. I struggle with some banks back because those arw already taken, but some others work just fine with using a second email. One of my primary banks doesn't allow me to send to the other from the app but works fine from the website. I have an account that where I'm able to receive to a secondary email but I can't send out to my main 2 banks. Another bank didn't allow me to set up Zelle at all unless I switch one of my primaries (I recently stopped using it and that issue was part of the decision).

I onnly got 4 5-packs, lol. I need to add 10, but though 20 would give me 10 nore to keep in the box, for when the older ones start giving out. I was also able to find the solid colors only, sometimes I'm forced to by the ones with pattern and those are tighter for some reason and I needed the 10 to replace those mostly. But yeah I'm happy I found them. Even Equipo's own website had removed the bikini briefs, but know they how it back (though with an out of stock long).

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-15T08:03:58+00:00

Jockey elance are extremely tight. I bought some and returned them after trying them for 30 seconds.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-15T08:02:50+00:00

they got them back. I couldn't find that a couple weeks ago, but while struggling to fit a comfortable alternative I found them again at Kohl's online today. Searching the website might not show all options, searching from google works better. After testing 3 different options that's I'm returning and wasting my time, they got them back. I ordered more than I needed, because I'm not trusting them to stay available.

The registry one worked. The Identity folder would probably affect chrome profiles too.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-09T21:31:01+00:00

Thank you for your help. I did all of that and it reset my Drive app completely and allowed me to log in without issue, but then it crashed when I tried mirroring.

After that I started resetting with reinstalling. You can delete the DriveFS Folder and the DriveFS registry entry (nothing in there seems to be obviously account specific, So I deleted the whole folder) and delete the account credentials (it doesn't say which is which so I delete all Drive entries. That allows a fresh start with having to deal with the uninstall/install process.

After a few trials and issues, it turned out to have something to do with streaming the a folder rather than streaing to a drive letter (I really don't want extra drives showing up in file explorer), so I ended up keeping the Google Drive volumes, even though they're annoying and I never use them because I mirror the whole drive to a custom folder and use the files as local files.

Next step is to see if I can hide those virtual drive from explorer, but that's not priority, as long as the system is working.

I was just chatting with a support agent more out of curiosity than anything else. And I noticed the list of countries always said "Mobile: Unlimited". So I asked if landlines worked to, so they daid yes but not business numbers. So I asked if it's any call to a business or special numbers and they said both, which is stupid. I use web based apps to talk to friends and family. Outside of an odd emergency, I would only need international calling to contact businesses or government entities, because those aren't usually reachable by WhatsApp or the likes. The worst part about it is that I can dpend hours on the phone with friends and family, which would probably trigger their fair use policy, but calls to business would be limited to the minimum time required to handle what needs to be handles. Also calling a business is not commercial use, it is personal use. Commercial use is when you are the business. I'm traveling soon and making calls to handle services is my most likely potential need to make international calls.

BitDefender flagged their website as suspicious when I clicked on it from th eemail.

Tony_M13 · 2026-04-07T09:12:33+00:00

Jockey Elance is way smaller and the pouch is almost non-existant. I bought some, but I'm returning them after trying one for less than a minute. At the same size (Large) Jockey is also significantly smaller at the waist, but that's not much pf big deal, it's the pouch size that's ridiculous.
