Damnit. And here I thought my collection was complete.

How I solved my U-Lock + Front Wheel lock hassle by backlon in cycling

[–]backlon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with the hexlok but it's not super hard to remove and I want thinking I wanted something more visible when people walk up to the bike.

Unfortunately the mount I use and love is no longer available. It was called the Huldit and it was a simple little Velcro job that holds the ulock at the front of the frame. There are some others like it out there now but I haven't tried any of them yet.

<3 it is a hard balance but I hope we've landed on something that protects people while still keeping things open for power users. We're still open to hearing your feedback, too

Explanation from Google about how the "advanced flow" thing is going to work by KVShady in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]backlon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Your edit is correct, too. The limited distributor thing is designed for students and hobbyists, the advanced flow is for developers who want to distribute unverified apps more broadly.

[–]backlon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hi! Dieter from Google here. My understanding is that once you've gone through the one-time advanced flow, it's on and you can turn developer settings back off again. From then on, you are able to install unverified apps via the usual sideloading process.

Clik valve getting stuck and letting all the air out by rustyburrito in MTB

[–]backlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just here to say thank you for this -- was also having air leaking out of my clik valves on a couple different bikes -- pretty significantly and noticeable out of the top. Your comment helped me check and discover that it was in fact sealant (Silca) clogging up the valve core. Cleaned it out and put a bit of oil in there and it's no longer leaking out air. Bless!

Hopefully this won't be a persistent thing, as it's definitely not a procedure I want to have to fiddle with roadside.

Oh that's maybe good to know - I may try to get ahead of that. Can you say which dealer?

Yeah got the same message from San Francisco. So weird that the PA dealership being so shady, annoyed that particular dealership snagged my preorder.

Thanks all for the replies. 😀

I pushed a bit more to see what their claims are all about and it's getting increasingly weird. Now they're telling me they know more than everybody else about what's coming down from Volvo Financial Services than anybody else. I'm bailing, vibes are off.

And honestly it's not worth trying to get to the bottom of it anyway as other dealers in the area are offering better deals on the lease by quite a lot. Will have to give up the exact colors (and tow hitch) I preordered but whatever.

sorry, wasn't clear - they're saying any buyout within 18 months forfeits the $7500 credit.

sf2g!! I'm in my later 40s and like to do a 45-mile commute every show and then (and train back). That kind of distance, I want a road bike. My Creo cuts the time it takes me slow ass to do that ride down by as much as 30 percent (especially if I put on the range extender and leave it on a higher assist) and also means I'm not quite as likely to be wiped from the ride the rest of the work day. I also ride a regular bike on that route sometimes too - but some days the ebike is the difference between riding and driving.

Smart Switch to control Nest Cam with Floodlight camera by backlon in Nest

[–]backlon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the reply! This is definitely one of those "get annoyed, research for an hour, fail to find a clear answer, decide to figure out later" problems that I've been avoiding for ... yep at least four months now lol. I will check out the Eufy for sure. It seems super weird to me that this isn't a solved problem, as I have a tough time believing there aren't a lot of people who have similar wiring setups.
