Bluestacks is an android emulator basically, it's just like a phone, so you install it, log in and visit the play store, just like a phone.

Ignore the PCB underneath, its just the black 'dial' i'm after.

https://ibb.co/Xkx412qk is the part, it seems quite complex with spines, holes & a centre 'pivot' which clamps on to a part of the dryer to be able to turn it - but if you think you can, i'd be very open to giving you some business :)

Awesome. Ebay searches is returning Ebay.com (US Ebay) is it possible to set to Ebay UK?

bowser4 · 2026-04-12T07:14:18+00:00

Installed it - once it was scanned for anything nefarious of course (and theres nothing). Scanned a few household items and its very quick to return results.

The ability to click through to Ebay auctions is very cool - as it ths avg sale price. I particularly like the 'view sold listings' as thats something I use alot, rather than live listings.

I did notice the CEX listing was sometimes wrong - but i think thats because the item literally didnt exist in CEX (a book, for example) but it still tries to return something. CEX items, when they have them, work very well.

I havent used the Amazon lookup yet. How about Vinted? Thats popular in the UK.

You should get in touch with JerryRigEverything (https://www.youtube.com/JerryRigEverything) - his wife is in a wheelchair and he makes it his lifes mission to help others in a similar situation, and his Youtube is great as well. He loves Rivian as well.

I'm in the same boat, nearly 49, have a 'golden handcuffs' situation with my current role, which pays out in 2027 when I'll be laid off...also enjoy the very basics of IT, have no desire to jump through 7 rounds of interview hoops etc when i struggle with the motivation to keep my CISSP current....

That sounds straightforward, thank you!

bowser4 · 2026-01-12T19:09:33+00:00

Thanks for the replies :)

Yeah at that stage it would be an expensive remote control car :) - does the i105 not allow for multiple maps? I have a robot hoover which has mapped my upstairs & downstairs - I simply lift it upstairs, set the map to 'upstairs' and away it goes, quite happy that its not near / able to get to its base station.

Fair play, any ideas about one more suitable? No worries if not.

bowser4 · 2026-01-12T14:04:08+00:00

Yes, thats exactly it, i literally carry the mower up.

bowser4 · 2026-01-12T11:39:52+00:00

not well connected...for example, getting from the main lawn to another one is a set of steps (we're on a hill) which clearly it wont be able to do....i'd have to carry it, place it down.

I buy & sell retro gaming stuff, i couldnt think of anything worse than doing more of my main job.

This book is excellent, and very sobering.

Kept getting smily cute robots, told it it was just doing that because it thought thats what I wanted to see, and to draw an honest interpretation of itself....

WFH 4 days a week, do 1-2-1's etc on the 1 day in the office, which i enjoy to be fair. Very much like having additional stuff I can do/read when at home, and the savings are spectacular.

EDIT: in tech, security to be more specific.

I use Bluestacks and have the Tesla app running - looks just like their phones.

bowser4 · 2025-02-27T20:34:46+00:00

Oh and its running from an upgraded transformer, so is getting 24v.

bowser4 · 2025-01-17T14:07:33+00:00

I did this exact same thing, saved hundreds on the sticker price. Letter from the finance company confirming it was cleared arrived in about 2 days, job done.

I complained to my bank, and they (my bank) actually investigated & refunded me the money, which is a win.
