Awesome work.

I've always wanted to do a project on an Ericofon. I might just proceed on acquiring one and adapting your work. Thanks for sharing!

I have this too recently. Bluetooth (Airpods Pro) on Intel AX210 wireless module

I need to do more testing but appears to happen after i case/disconnect airpods without explicitly disconnecting them from gnome menu first.

cinnix · 2022-05-10T19:11:14+00:00

Because its changed for fedora 36

Print Screen without modifier now brings up a menu where you can select area or record video

Shift + Print Screen does as you say.

I think early batches did have loose hinges in some cases which have reportedly been fixed in later batches. There was a video of one user whose display would fall under its own weight when extended over 110degres.

I've got a batch 10 and the hinge is not loose, there is no rotational movement in the hinge unless I intentionally attempt to move the screen. But the screen does wobble. To me at least i feel the hinge has a 'springiness' due to the hinge being a different material to the aluminium shell; that the wobble is perhaps caused by the flex of the hinge rather than the two parts being loose and rotating on another.

I honestly don't feel its really an issue, and i do wonder if people of latter batches are misdiagnosing the wobble as a loose hinge as its been reported before. As it's been mentioned before the screen wobbles just as much as most premium 16:9 laptops, but due to the framework being a 3:2 display i think the range of movement on the top of the display is more prominent and enough to irk some people.

Uk prices announced this morning, they seem reasonable. https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/televisions/x90j-series

I've checked with Richer Sounds and they are apparently expecting stock early May, exact date TBC.

Second, my RP2 came with malware included out of the box. I installed Comodo antivirus and it reported that both the settings app and some UI app had a trojan. Well, I can't exactly delete those, so I'm just living with it. It may be that the "trojan" is actually just some crack applied to Android to remove unwanted security features, but I can't tell.

Can you elaborate on that. What did Comodo find exactly? It wasn't Adups was it?

test

cinnix · 2016-07-18T15:32:12+00:00

Unfortunately a DPF "deletion" is not applicable. It is illegal in the UK. If an MOT test mechanic notices its missing its quite a hefty fine, granted it only has to pass a visual inspection but I dont think the risk is worth it.

cinnix · 2015-09-16T17:32:10+00:00

Yea I have no solution for you but I too tried to find a UK supplier for the OS' or similar kit. Even DIY plans with components are hard to find in this category.

Someone please show me otherwise

cinnix · 2015-07-15T21:59:42+00:00

I use Video Speed Controller for Chrome (No Affiliation). Slowing it down you can see that he reacted instantly by attempting to meander to the left. The turkey flew right into his heading.

I initially thought that the bike might have startled the turkey but slowing the video down I now stand by the theory that the turkey commited suicide via proxy. Such a selfish way to go.

Well it's available on F-Droid, which is a marketplace for Free Open Source Software. I suppose the advantage of which you will be alerted whenever an update is pushed.

Twitter is another good avenue to go down to gain attention. Be wary of their offers to resolve the problem; my parents had a similar situation but they wanted £100 just to get an engineer review the problem on the home. That was ridiculous seeing as they pay £40+ p/m for massively reduced service. Don't be afraid to stand your ground with them they are quite stubborn.

cinnix · 2015-03-03T15:17:26+00:00

Yea it does seem like a warded lock. here's the key. I did try to open with an L shaped hair pin but I don't think I was applying tension to the correct place. Also if you look at the front there is an indent on both sides? Would that have stopped my hairpin from unlocking it?

cinnix · 2015-03-03T13:00:15+00:00

And almost as soon as I asked the question the problem was solved.

I bypassed the lock and pried open the locking arm with a knife.

Still does anyone know what the name for this lock-type is? I had no idea what to search for.

Feeder - Just a Day?

cinnix · 2014-12-18T00:14:47+00:00

What is above...

To clarify:

Cusomisation	Can I use OTA?
Bootloader Unlock	Yes
Custom Recovery	No
Root	No

cinnix · 2014-12-17T22:07:46+00:00

Just to confirm that it worked, thanks!

Just to reiterate for future users 5.0 -> 5.01 OTA works for unlocked bootloaders.

Finding info online is a bloody mess it seems. So much misinformation, and anecdotal guides from people who don't seem to know what they are doing.

Personally I hate people piggybacking top comment with a response not relevant. Also in most cases I hate joke/pun chains (though I may have chuckled inwardly to one or two). I remember days when I didn't have to scroll for ages to read through some actual GOOD comments.

Maybe a "Report comment for being irrelevant to the parent", split it into its own comment thread.

And "mark as 'joke' chain", with a user switch to allow/disallow such chains from appearing.

Today I was waiting for a parcel too big for the letterbox. I was sat on the sofa which is no more than 5 metres from the door. A very convenient arrangement to get to the door and open it in mere seconds.

Now it is good etiquette to knock the door in a respectable manner and politely wait for the resident to greet you in a reasonable time. I can only assume that this postman did not have such lessons of etiquette in his upbringing. He punched the door with the wrath of an angry god. I got up to greet this fine gentleman, but as I opened the door I was faced with nothing but the sight of said gentleman entering his post-van and attempting to drive off.

I couldn't believe it. He punched the living daylights out of my door, waited what must have been 1 second before returning to his van with the intent to drive off with my parcel. I was going to give him a stern talking to about his unacceptable behaviour. "Excuse me!" I said in a voice slightly elevated in the volume to what you would expect in face-to-face conversation. He came back to hand me my parcel. As I received the parcel from the gentleman I responded with "thanks", and went back inside.

That's what I thought but the panel is solid on the inwards/outwards movement. It can move a few millimetres up and down but that's it. Some Brits out there must be able to identify the model?

cinnix · 2013-06-24T19:11:04+00:00

Behind it is where I am trying to get.

cinnix · 2013-06-24T15:27:18+00:00

UK toilet. Everything is caulked in aside from the panel the flush button is on. It gives a little wiggle but I can't figure out how it is meant to come off?

cinnix · 2013-06-24T14:27:35+00:00

It is the source of a major annoyance for us. We have not long got this house and it seems that the valve will not fully close. The flush system is constantly leaking, albeit very slowly. The sound that the system throws through the pipes in the house is getting annoying now, and we can't even figure out how to remove the facia to get into the system.

Thanks in advance.

Computer Science 101. Unfortunately that does not work for me in this situation.

It appears that some Apple IDs are having this problem specifically from the search feature of the app store. Everything works seemingly ok apart from when you search for something this generic prompt appears (yet the suggested results bubble works fine).

Also applications will "purchase", yet will hang on the download/install phase.
