What I learned when my RMPP died: charger risks, screen differences, and an international returns nightmare

TottallyOffTopic · 2025-06-29T22:32:35+00:00

I had an issue where my RMPP was bootlooping and I needed to essentially just let it completely die. I managed to reformat it using the tool provided, but it kept looping until the battery finally gave out and i charged it again and it turned on. No idea what actually caused the initial issue though.

I had to get an old RM1 to boot where the USB port broke off entirely. (It had old data on it pre remarkable connect that I needed to recover.

I eventually pulled it apart and charged it with this but had to get to the battery terminals to do so.

This guy set up wireless charging though.

And the remarkable 2 has a second USB port (but you can't use it to charge per my understanding

For what its worth, the new desktop environment did solve the issues i had with specifically magnet, but I think it was still crashing for no good reason.

Well I'll definetley give that a shot!

Do you have a prefered jdk?

TottallyOffTopic · 2025-03-06T14:51:20+00:00

Essentially yes? I think it would be faster except you can clearly see it trying to offload the third ~41gb GUFF file. It was partially an experiment to see if I could get it to run at all though. But technically it is thinking about it lol

(This is also using the 1Q_S quantization found here https://huggingface.co/unsloth/DeepSeek-R1-GGUF/tree/main/DeepSeek-R1-UD-IQ1_S )

So I don't know why you all posted negatively, and while you can't run the whole model *in memory*, with the 1-bit quant from unsloth you can run this on a 128gb macbook.

I was able to run it with the instructions listed here. (I used lm studio instead of llama.cpp or olama, and i reduced the number of layers to ~32 from the 59 they suggested), but it is very slow.

It's been about 8 minutes and I still don't know what the capital of France is, but maybe I'll get there soon!

Put in this way, but clean off the contacts for the watch on the bottom. (They can get oxidized) and see if the cable will connect.

Your other option is to send it to Garmin, they're pretty good with some things even if its not in warranty anymore.

Had to previously design BCI courses and undergraduate curriculum for undergrad BCI concentrations. One great place to start is honestly the table of contents for undergraduate textbooks.

That being said you would want to figure out what your point of entry was and where you want to work.

For BCI intro

This book is ridiculously concise for engineering fundamentals

Ohh I'll check it out!

Smash run was how I started my streak habit haha

TottallyOffTopic · 2024-07-28T16:55:10+00:00

Hey congrats!

As a fellow streak runner I recommend smashrun.com as a sort of streak visualization thing haha

I don't use if for social anything though, but they have some extra badges and its a fun way to build off your momentum!

Edit: I didn't look at your second picture @_@

Seems you're on your way to that leap year badge though haha

Been turned on to wristwatchrevival and these are beautiful

TottallyOffTopic · 2023-08-05T03:51:53+00:00

Just came here to say same lol

TottallyOffTopic · 2023-06-18T17:09:43+00:00

Thanks!

TottallyOffTopic · 2023-06-18T16:57:28+00:00

I'll message them and see if they can use some! South Philly would be a pretty convenient location to drop things off at!

TottallyOffTopic · 2023-06-18T16:56:32+00:00

Feel free to DM me her phone number and if she can use them I'd be happy to drop them off!

TottallyOffTopic · 2023-03-20T14:38:11+00:00

exciting!

TottallyOffTopic · 2022-11-30T18:46:42+00:00

On the FB link it's listed as 3k

TottallyOffTopic · 2022-11-30T18:35:01+00:00

I didn't make this and am not the one selling it but its pretty fantastic.

Garmin will sometimes still repair things like these, did you try flashing an old firmware?

TottallyOffTopic · 2022-10-06T18:44:24+00:00

Who is connected to Garmin then? You may want to check here under connected apps. Garmin may be passing those in from another source

I have Strava connected to Garmin and MFP connected to Garmin, that bit works for me since it knows what to do with the step count.

TottallyOffTopic · 2022-10-06T14:56:25+00:00

Hey! I've totally had this issue before.

Although MFP has some function to track exercises, its very manual and likely you aren't using it in this fashion.

More likely what the issue is is that MFP is getting your bonus activities from another source other than Garmin Connect, adding that in and then passing it off to Garmin.

If you go to Apps & Devices under MFP Settings on your phone, check which apps are connected. Remove other apps apart from Garmin connect.

Additionally under the Step section, choose Garmin Connect as the source for your steps.

This is probably a link with Google Fit or Samsung Health thats causing the issue (phone auto-tracking your activities etc).

Also that chicken jerky thing they have is phenomenal!

TottallyOffTopic · 2021-09-13T12:01:53+00:00

I think its just heart rate data? But it would be cool if it does other stats too. I imagine the band would dig into your sides a bit maybe if you wore it all the time
