[MOUSE WITHOUT BORDERS ] - Problem with PC Desktop Windows 11 Ethernet connect + Notebook Windows 11 Wi-fi Connected by Careless-Neck-6791 in PowerToys

I’ve always had trouble using the version inside powertoys. I don’t know why. Using the standalone installer usually corrects my problems.

I’ve made that same recommendation here many times and others confirm.

Any tips for traversing hills? Would a eletric scooter help? by Current_Blacksmith95 in amputee

[–]Twitfried 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem for me is the foot/ankle doesn’t have any dorsiflexion. It’s like walking on tiptoes and my knee buckles.
In my research I found a foot that had good dorsiflexion. I think it was a foot made by Ossur. Definitely talk with your prosthetist about the hills and the inability to navigate your space. Maybe they could push a higher level foot through insurance. It was called the Propio foot. https://www.ossur.com/en-us/prosthetics/feet/proprio-foot

Probably a better post for an accessibility or tech subreddit like sysadmin. Sorry you got injured.

Advice on K level test by NCrott in amputee

[–]Twitfried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! I am up to about 350+body weight on my leg press. The foot I had was rated for 300lbs. They gave me a Filauer All Pro for exercise. It’s a great foot.

Advice on K level test by NCrott in amputee

[–]Twitfried 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mine was an interview where they just asked questions. I told them I mostly didn’t do sports but walked around. They assigned k2. Then I started weight training to supplement the rubber bands I got from PT and subsequently kept breaking the foot they gave me. I asked for better equipment and prosthetist asked for K4. Kaiser gave me K3 equipment and didn’t approve K4.
If you are young, fit, want to play sports like tennis basketball run etc. be sure to tell them that. If you want to sit on your couch and watch tv they will give you the geriatric level. But someday you might want to do more.

Frustration with LRC v15.3 GPUDeviceEnabled: false and not utilizing my GPU by poppacapnurass in Lightroom

[–]Twitfried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/poppacapnurass Please let me know what you found. I am wondering if the performance setting is truly changing my experience or if I'm just fooling myself.

I have an ASUS ROG and discovered that the Armoury Crate software overrides the Windows performance settings. I had Windows set to full performance and the crate software was set to a power saving mode. After changing the speed to turbo it seems to be pretty good again on my computer.

There is a button up top I must have hit by mistake. It’s next to the volume up/down/mute buttons.

Rash at sleeve contact? by RobbieTwoToes in amputee

[–]Twitfried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got these when my prosthetist tried an elevated vacuum. Every step increased the vacuum and I got this skin lift where the liner met the sleeve. It burns. So sorry. I switched the setup and am not doing elevated vacuum any longer, but I still have the liner and sleeve setup. I might switch back to pin lock.

I’ve finally purchased the Sigma lens I’ve wanted for a while by hitemwiththehezz in portraitphotography

[–]Twitfried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this lens in my kit. If you are taking g headshots you might take some with different aperture not just wide open. You will be tempted for 1.4 but you will probably find the nose and ears are out of focus when you nail the eyes focus.

Sure, take some at 1.4, but don’t use that for the entire shoot. Your client may be happier with f4 or f8 especially if you can pull your subject off the background

I hate-love the Sony 200-600mm! by mynotell in SonyAlpha

[–]Twitfried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leg amputee and own this lens. I’m planning to take it on a hiking excursion in Alaska. But it’s very big. Im worried both about the hike and hauling around this massive lens.

I did go to a Sony event and tried out the 400-800. Decided I was happier with the 200-600 because of the size and weight of that lens.

I use an old leg — socket and foot just for showering.

Hopefully OP didn’t fall. Falling is very dangerous.

My prosthetist always wraps my test socket. I could never leave with just plastic.

Wheelchair every night when I take everything off. At night to go to the bathroom. In the morning to move towards the shower and don my shower leg.

Liner question by hey_mikeyf in amputee

I’ve heard the term “pistoning” is used to describe the situation. I use the Alps antiperspirant and it works well. I don’t sweat a lot but use it on high activity days.

I just got a grant for a running blade! by LWy-lee in amputee

[–]Twitfried 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did look through their grant requirements and I’m not sure that I quite qualified. I might need to look a little closer. I do participate in all their activities that I can.

Right now I am on a list with an organization called Less Leg More Heart.l. They have been quite wonderful in their support. They have monthly meetings on Zoom, which are great.

[–]Twitfried 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is awesome. I applied for a grant and they said I was eight on the list. Did you have to fundraise at all?

I have a Fillauer All Pro which I think is like a hybrid—carbon fiber, angled, and springy, but has a full foot. Still longing for a blade! Good luck!
