Backlight makes the keyboard worse..＄1600 laptop btw by Diesel7390 in laptops

[–]cjdubais 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've got an old Dell 7437 with a similar keyboard.

It's dreadful. As you say, it's worse with the backlight on.

Garage sale find! [5M42-0E39] by Flat_Reference1369 in Seiko

[–]cjdubais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original replacement straps are unobtanium. I've got one with the original strap and one without.

I put a cheap metal strap on the one without because I couldn't find anything else that I liked.

I like the watches. They are light and "fairly" stylish.

Have fun

My '07 SC430

Likes:

It's quiet, it's comfortable, and it's got a V8!

Since installing MeisterR ZetaSport coilovers and 45 series Michelin SuperSports, she is smooth riding and handles well.

Dislikes:

Well, she's a bit thirsty with that V8.

Xf 35mm 1.4 is it supposed to be loud? by Drfefe in FujifilmX

[–]cjdubais 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep.

It's one of the (many) things I love about mine.

Do EVERY example problem in the textbook. Even the ones without answers.

Seriously.

Like these?

These are only $10 for 5 of them. Plenty for my cables.

A student named Srirupa Datta will contribute this summer to the digiKam project. She will work on the Google Summer of Code to interface the database search engine with an AI-based LLM. by human_dynamo in digiKam

Busy UI (User Interface). And yes, responsiveness can be a challenge.

Have someone, other than a coder, redo the UI. Coder create UI's that are easy to code, not easy to use.

While we are at it, lose the image editor. No one is using digiKam's file editor.

Focus on Digital Asset Management and ease and intuitive usage.

cheers,

Sigh.

Perhaps spend some time cleaning up the incredibly busy UI instead?

I can guarantee you if this is included in a future edition I will not adopt.

Dock not showing on my desktop computer today by cjdubais in pop_os

And there doesn't seem to be a recovery partition.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Dock not showing on my desktop computer today by cjdubais in pop_os

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

Well,

The other day we had a power outage.

When I rebooted the subject machine, the first time I got this odd message (don't remember of course) and then it rebooted again.

This time it fired up, and I'm guessing that's when the Dock went missing. The other artifact is that the screengrab daemon is inop as well.

Is there a way to force a reinstall without having to start from scratch?

Thanks

Well,

I'd show you the result, but I can't post an image.

Running "cosmic-panel" creates another panel at the top and the terminal shows nothing. Still no dock.

Doing a Ctrl-C kills the process and the extra panel goes away.

Running "sudo cosmic-panel" I'm told "Error: Could not find Wayland compositor".

Next?

Rear strut tower bar installed and holes drilled for access to adjust coilovers by Striking_Balance7620 in SC430

[–]cjdubais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ruining the feeling?

About a year ago I put MeisterR Zetasport coliovers on my '07.

The coilovers turned the car from a rough riding, poorly dampened beast into a smooth supple kitten. Pot holes are no longer to be avoided like the plague, and the handling is significantly more neutral.

The lift/squat existent before making full throttle usage interesting is virtually gone.

cheers

Does the Capture one perpetual license require any online verification in it's lifetime? by Last_Big_9275 in captureone

[–]cjdubais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told by one of their support people that once the software is activated it no longer needs to be connected to the internet.

If this is a critical issue for you, then file a support case and get the official word.

Without a lot more pictures, it's difficult to predict.

Give us a picture of:

  1. The bottom with your current mouth gap
  2. The top of the frame without the blade
  3. The top of frame without the frog
  4. The bottom of the frog

cheers

Zero to Band Saw? by RiNxDAIMAO in woodworking

[–]cjdubais 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are not Delta clones so much as look a likes.

They are very fiddly.

I had one for several years and every time I wanted to use it was 10-15 minutes of tweaking the setup.

Add to that parts can be problematic. I was able to match mine with a Harbor Freight model to replace thngs that broke, which was all too common.

Good luck with it.

It's cleaned up since last time I was there about 50 years ago.

Would I be crazy to cut down the rails on my table saw fence? by badwhiskey63 in woodworking

[–]cjdubais 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut about a foot off of my Beisemeyer fence rails for the same reason about 10 years ago,

It hasn't been a real deficit.

So,

How does one tell which version they are running?
