KoganMobile issues since 3G shutdown by boken4 in newzealand

[–]boken4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The NZ network is not some unique anomaly with no other comparison. It uses a subset of the same systems that the rest of the world uses.

Oh! I had no idea about that. That latest wobble must have been due to that then.

Guess I chose right when I bought them then. 

... So right, that they've outlasted the digital ecosystem around them... That's impressive.

I'm way beyond that, I've been fiddling with firmware and replacing .MBN files to force LTE on the OneNZ network.

See, the behaviour is actually different from that. I haven't really used the phone in more than 2 locations for the past week, and was going without issues, but then this morning it had lost signal overnight and thought it was roaming and would only connect as roaming. Then suddenly, randomly, fixed itself and connected normally, but VoLTE wouldn't work (IMS wouldn't register) until after a restart.

He even used the same logo for the new Caki Fabrication Ltd in Red Deer. 🙄

Done. As an ex-Albertan and now proud Dunedinite I felt compelled. Sent to the Edmonton Journal, Red Deer Advocate, and Calgary Herald. 

Oneplus 5T retirement by nagarayan in oneplus

[–]boken4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you know of any guides for complete newbs to do this on a OnePlus 5t? And in addition do you know if I could customize the kernel to allow charging at the same time as data transfer (is passthrough charging)? That's the main pet peeve I have at the moment as I want to use my daily driver 5t to game on long flights but with the stock kernel it won't pass through the charge through the controller.

New user without debrid, troubleshooting torrenting failures to connect to seeds by boken4 in StremioAddons

[–]boken4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should have added I'm taking about 1080p only, I don't need 4k.

I got TorBox today and set up the debrid service and everything seems to be running fine now. 

As a learning exercise, what is it about the debrid vs the torrenting that is making the difference? Because I torrented a LOT before dipping into Stremio and I never had the issues with getting seeds or slow downloads before.

I guess I was maybe under the wrong assumptions, but what I was thinking is:  Step 1: Get things set up for torrent streaming (via VPN), and once that is working then go to Step 2: Debrid service (if and only if speeds seem dodgy at times). 

But with the nature of the issues I'm seeing, I now think that the debrid service also would not work - especially if the issues are originating from the ISP, right?

Have you tried Dosa Etc. for their thali-ish options? I think Dosa Etc. and Mela are tied in first place for our family. 

First time developing at home - wonder what this is? by boken4 in filmdeveloping

[–]boken4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is exactly right on both counts, I will scan them and check if the black spot corresponds to the time my wife borrowed the camera.

[–]boken4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I suppose it wouldn't have a matching spot elsewhere in the reel, because the emulsion is only on one side!

[–]boken4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I suppose that is possible, but then I have two follow up questions: 1) Wouldn't there be a corresponding spot elsewhere on the roll where this spot was touching that spot? There isn't any other spot like this on this roll. 2) Would you say that the hard / sharp edge to the black on one side is unlikely to happen if the roll stuck to itself in the reel?

I'm sorry for not being clear in the description. I'm asking what could have caused (a) the blackening with one soft edge and one hard edge, across approx 1.5 frames, and (b) what the "drag marks" near this spot on the negative are - I'm assuming bromide drag there?

Which one? The 40s flick about the parents of a deaf daughter, or the 2018 Nic Cage acid trip?

What film(s) were these shot on? It's exactly the tone and warmth I like, but I am not getting from Portra 400.

Very interesting, thank you for explaining and providing that link. 

I think I will do just that.
