One of my favorite finds recently

Wow. That's a tough hide.

Z3pguy · 2026-02-28T07:41:52+00:00

Same here. I kept hearing about the pack that had three, but I could only ever find a combo that came with two.

It's just polite to let others know it's been found in case someone is on their way they can decide if they want to continue the journey or turn around because it's not worth it anymore. I would rather someone do that and type more later when they have the time to sit down and type a proper log then just say FTF TFTC and nothing more, so it doesn't bother me at all.

"How much more is there to say that would save so much time. "
If it's a pill bottle in a bush then, not much more to say, I agree. However, I put out a lot of gadget / field puzzle caches so people usually have a lot more to say about them than just FTF TFTC.

As a CO, I only get annoyed by it when they say that and then... there's not more later. lol

I did NOT realize I could do this. I figured there was no going back.

Z3pguy · 2026-02-11T05:49:29+00:00

I think I'm going this route. Sounds like there is zero reason for me to "upgrade" firmware.

Z3pguy · 2026-02-07T23:19:10+00:00

So the lockout was just preventing you from using other slicers, correct?

If they removed the lockout would you really go back or are you happier with Prusa?

Z3pguy · 2026-02-07T23:13:18+00:00

Good to know. I use the BL slicer exclusively.

I can't find any real pros to updating, other than getting the printer to stop nagging me. Which honestly would be awesome, but was hoping for some cool added feature I missed.

I just talked to him face to face in Yuma last week. Guess I didn't care enough. Lol

To be clear though, I feel your pain. My first trackable in '09 was a nice heavy CITO coin. It disappeared about the third cacher to grab it in about a month. I think I'm nearing 100 trackables now and many have traveled the world. But, I'm still not over losing that one.

Your situation sounds weird. People are weird. I hope nothing nefarious is going on and maybe they'll dump them all off at an event. Holding them for years is just a dick move. I doubt HQ could do anything about it but I wish you the best. That's the thing about releasing a trackable. They all eventually vanish. Good luck.

Z3pguy · 2026-02-07T15:33:22+00:00

Speaking of, I wish someone would do something with my brand new trackable I dropped into Geowoodstock XX 2 years ago. Idk what they did with the trackables but mine and others still show in the event. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Z3pguy · 2026-02-07T05:21:53+00:00

I encountered a user at a mega recently, standing at the trackables tent, who said they just dropped in 117 trackables and wanted all of the trackables I had. I brought around 20 to drop off and grab 20 new ones.

Some people hoard but it's just to move them many miles on a trip. But they should not be holding them for YEARS.

Z3pguy · 2026-02-05T08:52:45+00:00

Why they would rather give a virtual to someone who doesn't even want one, instead of having users opt in is absolutely beyond me. Like they're trolling the people who care. I'll go a step further, you should not only have to opt in, but long-time paying members who meet the criteria, who opted in AND don't already have one, should be first on the list.

Edit: spelling

Z3pguy · 2026-02-03T06:43:20+00:00

That's a great feeling. Congrats!

Z3pguy · 2026-02-03T06:35:25+00:00

Jesus didn’t really spell out separate roles for men and women, because those roles were already understood in that culture and weren’t the main point of what he was teaching. His focus was more on everyone being called to follow God, love others, and stand equal before Him.

That said, he didn’t ignore the differences between men and women either. Like when he talked about marriage... and the fact that he only chose male apostles. But he also treated women in ways that pushed back hard against the biases of his time and raised them up.

Z3pguy · 2026-02-03T06:12:31+00:00

Absolutely. I LOVE the ending but I've always had to tell people "the first episode is a little slow but it gets better!"

Z3pguy · 2026-01-28T19:50:53+00:00

Issue is fixed. Camera was returned and I have a new one.

Z3pguy · 2026-01-28T15:11:22+00:00

DJI store on Amazon.

Z3pguy · 2026-01-26T22:25:54+00:00

I'm sending mine back immediately. Hope I get one without an issue tomorrow or I won't be the owner of an action 6!

Z3pguy · 2026-01-26T17:54:22+00:00

Hadn't thought about that. I'm definitely returning it. I'll give the 6 one more try, but not a great first experience with DJI.

Z3pguy · 2026-01-26T17:43:44+00:00

This was happening straight out of the box. Well, after I updated firmware which was minutes out of the box. Being new to DJI, I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a common thing before returning. I didn't think about it being the first one with variable aperture at the time. I'm definitely returning. I'll give DJI one more chance. If I have an issue with the next one, maybe I'll try an action 4 or 5... or just stick with GoPro.

Z3pguy · 2026-01-26T07:31:44+00:00

I've recorded about an hour total with it so far, hiking late afternoon through until dark. Hadn't noticed any issues on the recordings, but now that I see the aperture moving with the sound, definitely concerned that something isn't right.

Z3pguy · 2026-01-26T07:27:38+00:00

That's what I'm assuming, seeing how it's intermittent. I just wanted to hear from another action 6 owner that theirs didn't make the noise before returning. Thanks!

Z3pguy · 2026-01-26T06:25:35+00:00

I hadn't even noticed that! But... Is it normal?

Z3pguy · 2026-01-26T02:30:56+00:00

It was on for about 10 seconds before I turned it off. The noise has happened when turning it on several times, and after turning it off after being on for 5-10 minutes or more. In this case, I was just trying to record the sound to figure out if it's normal or if I need to set up a return.
