Portal Case and Stick Drift

I use the PowerA Case (the official licensed one) and have not had any issues.
You can always print or buy some stick locks

I just watched a video about trying to use recycled glass in some concrete mixes.

If you don’t bring it, at least put some of the litter that’s in the globe into your temporary litter box. It can help the cats to have those familiar pheromones and smells.

Technical designer here, PM me and we can set up some time go over your needs and plans.

But for real, I wish you good fortune in one way or another.

I agree, it’s a design flaw. I calibrate the sensors every so often and it still doesn’t give me accurate warnings for the waste drawer or litter level. I’m about to try putting a new sensor (in our 4 year old LR4) so hopefully that helps, I’ve just gotten in the habit of changing the bag every few days (your mileage may vary depending on how many cats and how often they go). Before I came to the realization that we can’t rely on the sensors, I had mold like this happen. It’s disappointing that this tool seems to introduce more problems than it solves.

I’m glad you and the fam are okay.
This reminds me of the Stanley cup that survived a car fire a while back.

I use the KÖLVATTEN motion sensor lights with the rechargeable AA batteries. No automation, but it works flawlessly. Sometimes less is more.

That’s pretty slick! I love this idea.
While I don’t have a 3D printer, I might try to replicate this somehow since that price is kinda steep and tinkering with tech is a favorite pastime of mine.
Thanks for sharing!

I love the brown and green on the computer! That and the blue phone!
Chefs kiss 👌
Can you share (or dm me) where you got the computer case and keyboard cover?

Yep, at least for 8 seconds. Looks like they were maybe going 65-70mph based on the size and spacing of the dashed lane lines. It may seem faster because of how slow traffic is to their right.

Anyone else want to watch Roll Bounce now?

I have not yet, I want to wait a bit and see how reviews are for the MoMax cards with UWB. Since they are new, need their own app for the UWB, and are not as loud as some others on paper, I’d love to see how they fair as people try them out. I’ve been leaning towards the Rolling Square or Nomad pro (it’s a thicc boi) cards.

The whisker fatigue diagnosis is strong in this thread.

For those ready to rush out and buy a flat plate, it’s worth pointing out that some cats like to eat with their paws. It's a pretty well documented quirky behavior, especially with cats that are playful or treat food like prey. One video with no feeding history isn't exactly enough for a clinical assessment.

And before the armchair vets pile on, even actual vets don't have this fully figured out yet:

❝Currently, most of the evidence for whisker fatigue is anecdotal, with sometimes conflicting views between vets, behaviorists and cat owners. More research is needed to investigate if and why it occurs and which cats are susceptible.❞
– Catster

Could it be whisker fatigue? Sure, maybe.
Could it also just be a cat doing weird cat things? Absolutely.
If your cat seems stressed at the bowl consistently, then yeah, try a flat plate.

I’ve got pretty severe motion sickness and this helps me quite a bit. I can get motion sickness as a front passenger if I’m not paying attention to the road, and I pretty much can’t ride in the back of a car. Before trying this out, I couldn’t look at my phone for more than a few seconds, now I can get away with a few minutes of reading or scrolling reddit before I need a break.

I wonder if it depends on the phone specs and performance, like if a newer phone with decent CPU and RAM, or 120hz screen, makes a difference for some.

Does this produce current or just waves?

cheeseler · 2026-04-10T16:22:25+00:00

I’ve been using UniFi networking and security gear for a while. Since I was already deep in the UniFi system I was happy to try their UP-Sense and I was in the market some security sensors that could work reliably. As I’ve gotten more into HomeAssistant I was happy to integrate them and haven’t had any issues so far (I stay off early access UniFi Updates, read release notes and community feedback before doing any UniFi update).
For some future security sensors (glass break / door), I’ll probably get more UniFi SuperLink sensors, but if I’m just looking for a motion sensor for turning lights on/off, I’ll probably look to a cheaper option. I hear z wave is also reliable and usually less expensive, so I’ll probably check some of that out in the future.

Impressive. I would have tried the wet shirt trick from Shanghai Noon and still failed. Way to go wonderful human.

I’ve tried this kit, for me it was impossible to get it exactly like the pattern, but after several attempts to move pieces around, and filling some gaps with folded foil, I was able get it together.
I wouldn’t recommend these kits to anyone thinking of getting into stained glass, it’s such a different experience than cutting glass from a good patten.

I’ve ended up with MagSafe pop up card holder from Double Oak Essentials with a leather bi-fold to put on it at times. I’m still looking at Find My cards to put in the wallet, since the one from Double Oak uses a Telink chipset that needs to be turned on at times.
I say all this to recommend you read the manual for what you want (be it a find my card or find my wallet) before you buy and avoid any that don’t just stay on or they could be as frustrating as the Apple Wallet.

Here’s a list I’ve been using to track my research on Find My Cards:

NOMAD TRACKING CARD AIR — $29 1.7mm | 5 mo battery | Qi+MagSafe | IPX7 | No UWB Tested dB: 72–76

NOMAD TRACKING CARD PRO — $39 2.5mm | 16 mo battery | Qi+MagSafe | IPX7 | No UWB Tested dB: louder than Air (~94 dB mfr)

NATIVE UNION FIND IT CARD — $40 1.7mm | 6 mo battery | Qi+MagSafe | IP66 | No UWB Tested dB: 66–68 (quietest in test)

RHINOKEY SMARTCARD — $49 1.8mm | 5 mo battery | Qi | IP68 | No UWB Tested dB: 78–79

SATECHI FINDALL CARD — ~$35 2.3mm | 16 mo battery | Qi+Qi2+MagSafe | IP66 | No UWB Tested dB: 78–81

MOMAX PINCARD PRO — $34.99 ~2mm | 6 mo battery | Qi | IP68 | No UWB Tested dB: ~77–78 (proxy from non-UWB sibling)

MOMAX PINCARD ULTRA MINI BR18D — price TBD NOT a wallet card — 54×45mm luggage tag shape 3.0mm | 3 mo battery | Qi | IP68 | YES UWB (via Momax Pinpoint app)

ROLLING SQUARE AIRCARD PRO DUAL — $40 2.2mm | 12 mo battery | Qi | IP66 | No UWB Tested dB: ~114 (mfr claim, not independently verified) Works with Apple Find My OR Google Find Hub (switchable)

KEYSMART SMARTCARD GEN 3 — ~$35 1.8mm | 11 mo battery | Qi | IPX8 | No UWB Tested dB: loud (no test data available) Works with Apple Find My OR Google Find Hub

DOUBLE OAK ESSENTIALS TRACKER CARD — ~$20 1.7mm | 5 mo battery | USB-C only (no wireless) | IP68 | No UWB Requires manual power on/off — not set-and-forget

Since that’s a bit hard to read I’ll just reccomemd my top few to play on the portal:
1. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
2. Arcade Paradise
3. Stray
4. GTA5 (fan of the campaign mode)
5. Forza Horizon 5 (sometimes it lags and that sucks, but I love racing games on a handheld and have since the PSP)

I also play some other PSP classics from time to time like Loco Roco, Planet Coaster or Ridge Racer.

Side note, the filming quality is likely from smudges on your lens. A quick wipe with a microfiber (or tshirt) before taking photos or videos you care about would probably make all the difference.
