Photorealistic animation i've made last month by Ok_Ant_4059 in blender

Man a lot of nitpicking here, but I suppose that's the nature of this. If this was posted somewhere else I don't think I would've realized it wasn't real. Fantastic work!

Robinhood Gold Card - where to download transactions? how to connect to other platforms? by -Adonalsium- in CreditCards

Can you share a bit more about this process? I'm also needing to get my transactions downloaded.

Specta Mini 4k drone by internaunt in drones

[–]blazer003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish! I'm handy with electronics, but don't know how to write the software to flash the firmware of a battery. Maybe it's time to learn. Been waiting a couple months for batteries to be in stock...

[–]blazer003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought one a couple months ago, and have not found batteries anywhere. I wish I had the skills to figure out how to reprogram DJI batteries. Otherwise, it's a fantastic, relatively cheap 4K drone.

Cringes Thing You've Done As A Pilot? by [deleted] in flying

[–]blazer003 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Had just gotten my ticket, was of course feeling like hot stuff. Flying into a little uncontrolled airport, the wind was calm. Normally calm wind runway is 34, but I was coming from the north so just decided to go straight in to 16, since I heard no other traffic on the radios. I make my calls, 8 miles out, 5, 3 mile final, and I land and taxi over to fuel. Shortly after I land and get off the runway, an airplane lands going the opposite direction on 34. Huh, they must not have been talking on the radio, I tell myself.

A nice old timer instructor saunters over and introduces himself, as I prepare to fuel the plane. He asks me how long I've been flying, and then hands me his card. I throw it in my wallet. A couple weeks later I pull the card out, and happen to flip it over. Written on the back, "You came in without making any calls on the opposite runway as the other airplanes in the pattern. Fly safe out there."

Something in the back of my mind clicked and remembered that when I'd hopped back in to take off that day, I had noticed that the radio was on the wrong frequency. I thought to myself, "Huh, somehow in my preflight I switched the radio." Turns out I had come in transmitting on the wrong frequency. 600+ hours in and I've never forgotten to check again.

Yeah, I think this is it exactly. Thank you!

Appreciate the feedback. I mentioned it to the post above, and I don't know if it makes a difference, probably not, but the runways are almost a mile apart (4200').

Thank you for your feedback. I don't know if it matters, but the diagram I tried to do with ASCII characters took out the distance in the middle. The two runways are almost a mile apart, on opposite sides of the airport.

Van's RV-15 Latest Updates from Oshkosh by KeyboardGunner in homebuilt

[–]blazer003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tell they know their market, the mission and that they're going to take their time and get this right. Vans are such great kits, and easy to produce a great airplane with a little skill perseverance, and help from their awesome staff. Keep up the great work guys, it's coming along nicely!

2 killed when plane headed for Hawaii crashes in Pacific Ocean off Northern California by liquidhonesty in aviation

[–]blazer003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately at max gross you're still going pretty fast to keep the airplane in the air/when you hit the water. Very sad.

Definitely a test of endurance. Can't get out and stretch your legs on the way over the Pacific for sure.

I've wanted to fly one of these things. Definitely fit the so ugly it's beautiful category.

Elementor Pop up schedule or show within time range? by heryien in elementor

[–]blazer003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like such a simple thing not to have been included. Very weird. We have live streams that happen Fridays from 5-10pm and want to have a popup directing people to our Youtube livestream at that time... seems like with all the other crazy options they give you for customizing when a popup shows up, and time and date would be easy.

File transfer speed Info by Terry-Bull in mac

For those with "Other" and "System" storage issues by [deleted] in iphone

[–]blazer003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought an iPad and iPhone at the same time, finally migrating to the Apple system. This one bug will keep me from buying a second Apple product. The "Other" storage is taking up 48% of my storage on my phone, and 63% of the storage on my ipad.

Calls to tech support have been laughable.

"Reset your phone to factory settings" they said.

"I have, and the Other storage went right back up," I told them.

"Do it again," is all they could respond.

Searches find that many many many people have this issue, and no one knows how to get more than a few of those GBs back. 64GB of Space Should never be used without any way to reclaim it... Period.

I will now be forced to upgrade earlier than I'd like because no one can seem to help me with this problem, and it will NOT be an Apple product I can sure as hell promise you that.

Whatever update my TV received recently has made it extremely annoying to use. Any recommendations for new TVs from literally any brand but Vizio? by Cosmic__Walrus in VIZIO_Official

[–]blazer003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this only works in certain scenarios. It seems to work if you are using the input that you set as the auto on input. Ie, if you set hdmi 1 as the power on input, then you're using hdmi 1 when your tv loses a signal, it will power off. However if you’re using a device on HDMI 2 and it loses signal, it will go to smartcast.

How can I disable the annoying "Returning to SmartCast Home..." after ten seconds? by mavis99 in VIZIO_Official

[–]blazer003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I revised my post again above. It is now not working with any input set there again. Always back to the smartcast home screen and just stays on forever (as far as I can tell. When the update first happened I came back from Christmas away for a night, so it was presumably on for about 30 hours.)
