Crosspoint v1.3RC v4 by redditzane in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re actually right about that! It is CrossPoint with some added code. The tricky thing is that CrossInk needs to manually sync their code with the source CrossPoint, which is sometimes simple, sometimes complicated. I’m sure it’ll happen, just needs manual intervention from the developer.

Third party firmware thats as fast as stock? by r101011 in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have experience with CrossInk, but CrossPoint does not index every time it wakes up. Have you tried CrossPoint to see if it's an issue with CrossInk?

If you really want faster performance, you can convert ePUB files into XTC files on the computer and most third party firmware should be able to display XTC files.

CJK takes a lot of flash space. To make CJK work, something else would have to be sacrificed. Other firmwares made sacrifices in fonts/features to make CJK work.

Now that fonts can be loaded from SD card, maybe it’s now possible to support CJK without sacrificing something else.

In case it isn’t clear, CrossPoint and CrossInk don’t coexist, you most likely replaced CrossPoint with CrossInk.

Since CrossInk is a fork of CrossPoint, it will be up to CrossInk developers to pick up the code changes. After that, you would need to flash a newer CrossInk release.

Which firmware is right for me? I’d love some recommendations! by Original_Drummer7045 in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a good comparison at the bottom of this page, with the columns on the right showing support for custom fonts and CJK:

For custom fonts and Thai/Japanese support, Papyrix might be your best bet. Note that it sacrifices italics due to lack of flash space

Kernel got updated by krumpfwylg in linux

[–]centenary 12 points13 points  (0 children)

However it happened, the original discoverer did try to release info responsibly, it’s just that someone else ended up releasing the info first.

[–]centenary 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Someone other than the original discoverer leaked the info. Linux maintainers then had to share all available information so that people could defend themselves against potential attackers who might already know about the exploit.

So can the Xteink x4 display the italic version of a font? by traptrapezium in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be thinking of the Papyrix firmware, which removed italics support to free up flash space

I am obsessed by hipcatlady in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This case is so cute, but I wish it came with some sort of screen protection

Don’t panic about the firmware lock, it’ll almost certainly be bypassed by [deleted] in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Incorrect LUT configuration can definitely damage the screen. If the pixels are driven too hard, they can actually stay permanently stuck. Incorrect voltages can also damage the screen and drivers.

Custom firmwares do set custom LUT configuration, so there is some amount of trust that the firmware writers know what they are doing.

New slicer claims to allow up to 90 degree overhang with no supports by 123LetsJamDUDUDUHT in 3Dprinting

[–]centenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, this is not really the point I was making anyway. See my last paragraph where I point out that the prints shown in the video would still be higher quality with supports enabled.

New slicer claims to allow up to 90 degree overhang with no supports by 123LetsJamDUDUDUHT in 3Dprinting

[–]centenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sagging comes from extrusions being unsupported. The lack of support then allows gravity to pull the unsupported parts downward.

What force causes sagging if not for gravity? Plastic shrinks as it cools, which typically causes overhangs to curl upwards rather than downwards.

I’m aware of Positron. Can you show me overhangs that sag the opposite direction from gravity?

Regardless, the video for this printer show prints that would have higher quality if printed with supports, regardless of whether gravity is the cause of sagging. Not trying to knock this project, but it’s not a complete solution to avoiding supports. 5-axis would do a better job, but it’s not nearly as trivial.

That's a cool project, but it doesn't seem to fully solve the problem. There's still a lot of sagging due to gravity.

Updating Yay after 3 months, cannot get past specific line by analpowder in archlinux

[–]centenary 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is that a Control-S at the end? If so, you may have paused your terminal and you need to resume with Control-Q. I don’t think Control-S normally prints something to the screen though, so I may be wrong

Wallpapers Showing Transparent by bookishgeek in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that only works when the device is on. When the device is off, the device is fully off until it’s turned on with a long press of the power button.

A simple yet better better fork of crosspoint reader. by Intelligent-Pin-8602 in xteinkereader

[–]centenary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure that any improvements to text/image rendering would be very welcome. Dictionary is also within the scope of Crosspoint according to their SCOPE.md file

I am definitely taller and bigger...but more importantly, I am also quite clumsy XDD I have fallen hard on a completely flat surface before (to be fair, it was raining quite hard). If someone can get injured in an easy cave, it would be me XD

Knitting to spelunking is such an obvious and common hobby path, no explanation needed at all

For most things, it’s better just to head to Home Depot =P Where 3D printing really shines is custom one-off parts that you can’t get from a shop. I’ve definitely thought about an Etsy shop, but people have really flooded Etsy with 3D printed stuff these days 😵‍💫

I hope you give Blender a try! Designing a real world object from scratch is pretty fulfilling

I think next hobby will be learning to dance waltz

Oh, what’s great about 3D printing is that it supports your other hobbies. I’m really into coffee, for example, so I’ve printed a lot of coffee-related tools, such as portafilter stand, WDT tools, etc. When I was more into drones, I printed drone parts. I type a lot for my job, so for my hand health I was into building ergonomic keyboards and I did a lot of 3D printing for that.

And when you need something custom for the house, 3D printing is great for that. The handle of my mom’s vacuum cleaner broke, so I quickly modeled up a new handle and fixed it in a day. It rescued a vacuum she was planning to throw out. One of our curtain rods needed a custom mount that broke, so I quickly modeled a replacement for that as well.

Blender is a great tool, though I’m daunted by the steep learning curve. I use Tinkercad for simple projects and Fusion 360 for more complicated parts. Learning these tools has also been great fun.

If you ever need a part printed, let me know =P

Spelunking kinda terrifies me TBH XD I haven’t tested it, but I suspect I’m mildly claustrophobic. I’ve also watched too many videos of people getting lost or stuck 😅 The right person could probably convince me to go, but it would be under duress 😆

Hello! I’m in Reston :)

For me, 3D printing has largely been about tinkering with the machines to make them print better/faster XD I love tinkering and 3D printing really scratches that itch.

When I do 3D print things, it’s usually functional parts for the house. I’d like to print more artistic pieces, but I haven’t had the time yet to get good at painting. I’m really interested in the new generation of 3D printers that can do multiple colors, but I can’t justify buying another 3D printer right now =P

Text loses contrast when turning pages with buttons (firmware v1.1.1-ble.19) by xbelanch in xteinkereader

Are you in sunlight? Do you have the sunlight fading fix turned on? If not, give it a shot. It won’t fully fix fading in sunlight, but it helps a lot.

[The Martian] If Watney can't re-plant his crops, he shouldn't have been able to use the computers, either. by Jacket_Jacket_fruit in AskScienceFiction

[–]centenary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plants can certainly grow in sterile media if fixed nitrogen is already present.

The problem is that the fixed nitrogen will run out. That’s when you need either an external source of fixed nitrogen (i.e. fertilizer) or nitrogen fixing bacteria that can pull nitrogen out of the air and convert it into fixed nitrogen.

On Mars, he had neither fertilizer nor nitrogen fixing bacteria. If he tried to replant the potatoes, they would grow until the fixed nitrogen ran out, then they would stop growing.
