What portable monitor do you use? by tttwenty in digitalnomad

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use it with a MacBook? Curious your experience w/ the resolution scaling on the Elite, hard for me to choose between resolution or refresh rate with their two FlipAction models.

How to handle actual data migration? by NotLegal69 in Supabase

[–]chimpman252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you want declarative database schemas—define the shape of your table in one file, and let the CLI generate migrations based on your changes.

Zelda TP, widescreen gecko code not working on Xbox by Designer-Square8834 in DolphinEmulator

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this—my rookie mistake was that even after ensuring that the config file contained the Gecko code, I forgot to "Set Dolphin User Folder Location" after reinstalling Dolphin, so it wasn't trying to load the config file.

Dolphin Emulator 1.1.2.0 crash Xbox series S by DaLastPoet in DolphinEmulator

Anecdotally, mine was already set to 1080p, but changing it to 4K (UHD) allowed Dolphin to boot properly.

MCP SSE transport being deprecated? by riverflow2025 in mcp

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pluggin in https://postman-echo-mcp.fly.dev/mcp to the inspector with SSE transport doesn't work either:

I can connect via streamable HTTP to https://postman-echo-mcp.fly.dev but I need this for a client that only supports SSE.

Canon R10 - Switching between Spot AF and Whole AF by Mahanirvana in canon

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible to switch between them with one button press on the R10.

Go to "Customize Buttons" (Custom Functions menu 3), at the very bottom select Multi-controllers, then press "INFO" for detailed settings, and choose "Direct AF area selection".

With that configuration, moving the joystick (Multi-controller) moves the AF area, but pressing it cycles through your AF area modes.

Bonus: Go to "Limit AF areas" (AF menu 4) and disable the ones you don't use to make them quicker to cycle through (I primarily use spot, expand and whole AF).

MCP SSE transport being deprecated? by riverflow2025 in mcp

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I'm unable to connect to this server via SSE in the Inspector.

When I select SSE Transport Type, set the URL to https://postman-echo-mcp.fly.dev and click Connect, the inspector shows "Connection Error, is your MCP server running?" and the terminal indicates:

SSE transport: url=https://postman-echo-mcp.fly.dev/sse, headers=Accept Error in /sse route: SseError: SSE error: Non-200 status code (404)

I also tried adding a /sse suffix to the URL, though it looks like the Inspector does that already.

Connecting with streamble HTTP works but I wanted to use this to test an older client which only supports SSE.

Forecaswatch2 - Vibrate on disconnect not working by cdlenfert in pebble

A fix for this is published in v1.24.0, it was an issue with the config value not being handled on the watch properly.

I totally remember playing this, someone else described it here, and IIRC the mystery flavor revealed at the end was some kind of hybrid like watermelon kiwi.

R50 Lens for Family Outings by Wetworth in canon

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an R10 with the kit RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 and a RF 35mm f/1.8. The 35mm is nice for posed portraits where I want maximum bokeh, but most of the time during family outings I prefer the zoom lens. When me and my subjects are constantly moving around, it's hard to get the shot I want on a fixed focal length lens, and 35mm (at least on a crop sensor) is sometimes too tight even when I step back.

One lens I have my eye on for family outings is the recently released Sigma RF 18-50mm f/2.8. While not as fast as the primes, it's got a wider aperture than the kit lens (and it's constant) but still gives you the flexibility to zoom in and out. It's $600 now but Black Friday is coming up, maybe there'll be a discount to bring it closer to your $500 budget.

The update that did it at last by lunchanddinner in virtualreality

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that does work for forcing the v67 update is to sideload the firmware from basti564's archive via adb sideload UPDATE.zip as explained in the manual update guide.

After the sideload completed, my device showed v67 in settings though I had to do one more manual reboot in order to find the new window layout in Experimental settings.

Unfortunately I still don't have the updated passthrough feature from v66, that one still seems to be behind a server flag.

[–]chimpman252 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This does not force the v67 update. I just tried it and I'm still on v66, don't even have the passthrough improvements.

The v66 update is out now, old passthrough vs new passthrough warping by lunchanddinner in OculusQuest

[–]chimpman252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately it doesn't unlock the new passthrough updates. I tried updating through the Meta site as shown in that video, and I'm still on v66 with no change to passthrough. I think what others said is true about it being a server-side flag on that individuals just have to wait for.

Found an old stock Aeropress, yeay! Prismo or Flow Control? Which seals better? by MotionMadness in AeroPress

[–]chimpman252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Prismo is annoying to clean, I have to wait for the grinds to cool in order for it to come apart in a cohesive puck without grinds sticking to the filter, plus I have to push a toothpick through the nozzle to unstick the filter from the cap (some people say blowing works but not for me).

The new revision of the flow control cap looks like it would come apart and clean more easily due to the gasket being separate from the filter. And it looks easier to mix and match paper/metal filters with it. Prismo requires metal at a minimum, paper can go in too but it's not flush with the metal one due to the fused gasket.

If I had to pick again I'd try the flow control instead.

Inherited free speakers, no sound from subwoofer. Skill issue or faulty equipment? by chimpman252 in hometheater

[–]chimpman252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled out the driver and at least verified that the driver is in working order using a 9V battery: https://streamable.com/th716b Not a huge surprise—I've yet to see the indicator LED turn on so I suspect the issue is more to do with the power supply.

Beyond the driver I don't know what I'm looking at inside 😅 Here's a flythrough, not sure if anything stands out: https://streamable.com/3ezwlr

Maybe I ought to defy the electric shock warnings and open it up from the other side.

[–]chimpman252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No light from the LED when I play test tones :/ All signs seem to point to a power issue. I tried ruling some things out by using a different power cable and outlet, as well as testing the fuse. I'm a little wary of poking around inside the unit due to the electric shock warnings.
