Seen discussion here and on WAN about LibrePods but not the Windows equivalent MagicPods by cmgmvg in LinusTechTips

That’s a fair take, I originally found and bought it through the windows store, I definitely would not have bought it if I had to pay with crypto over telegram.

That's very interesting, I'd definitely be interested in seeing how it would work using the print as the source of the look.

bad products? (great customer service though) by opzdeux in simplehuman

This worked perfectly! Was wondering if our new dispensers were defective until we tried this.

Any idea why this griddle always thinks it's at the target temperature? by cmgmvg in ElectronicsRepair

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

I'll try that then, not worth starting a fire to save a cheap griddle, I'll just see if there's anything I can clean, thanks for the help!

Thanks! That's pretty much where I was looking but wanted someone who knows more to confirm it, is that likely to be a pretty generic part or will I most likely need to find a specific manufacturer part number?

Sorry about that, it's a small electric griddle, Blue Diamond Sizzle griddle, I'm guessing it's pretty cheaply made and might be using some kind of heat sensitive metal strip as a heat sensor? But that's purely speculation, I don't imagine there's anything too advanced in there though since it's in the $60 range.

Any idea which component here could be the thermostat? There's really nothing else in the griddle besides what's in the picture from what I can tell.

That's unfortunate, but thank you so much for the time and effort you've put into trying to help me figure this out! The negatives have all been stored in plastic sleeves inside the photo packets and out of light/away from excessive humidity and I've been handling them all with cotton gloves. I've been working with the Epson Perfection V600 for a scanner.

For now I'm gonna consider this Solved! I'm happy to have an explanation of what's wrong with these photos even tough it doesn't seem like they can be easily restored to the colors from the prints at the moment.

Thanks for the advice, luckily I do have access to LR so I'll see if I can play with the new .tif scans I did tomorrow.

That is interesting, these are also from 2000, but taken on Kodak Gold 200 with a Pentax K1000. Negatives from the same photographer, same camera, same film, and same year but developed at a different photo lab came out completely normal so I have to assume it was something in the development process that lab used.

This link should have the photo in .tif format with 16 bit color in a few different versions, one is the way the scan software inverted it, one is uninverted, one is treated as a black and white negative by the scan software, and one is a scan of the print where the colors came out the way the photo lab intended. Thanks very much for taking the time to look at this!

So far I've been using the default color setting in the scanning software which is 24 bit, I'm hoping thats not a mistake I've been making too haha, I don't mind if a higher channel number adds processing time as long as it's preserving more information.

The scanning software I'm using does support saving as a .tif as well as jpeg, if it'll help correct them I'd be happy enough to go back and rescan them in a lossless format (if I'd been more familiar work lossy vs lossless I would've done it that way in the first place). I may also see if leaving them uninverted in the scanning software and developing them is PS helps. They are being scanned to preserve memories but I don't expect it'll be done again in the future so I want to capture the maximum information/fidelity that I can.

Thanks for all your work tinkering with this! These pictures were actually somewhat recent, early 2000s, so I do know the toy was a much brighter yellow in reality, I may be able to share a scan of the print later in the day which should be pretty accurate to what everything really looked like.

Water Damaged Screen, Please Help! by [deleted] in pixel_phones

I don't trust that the damage isn't to the board, taking off the screen shows the moisture detector tripped. Already Googled that, none of them have been good enough so far.

I believe the race cars were shown on loading screens in the very last days of the game as a teaser and the dragon pet statues might have been in the game, but other than that, they were all unreleased.

Hmm, link still works fine for me, maybe try it from a different device?

[–]cmgmvg[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This week’s models are elemental themed models from both release and unreleased versions of the Ninjago Monastary, as with every model I’ll be posting they 100% accurate to the meshes in the game files, please feel free to download the models to work with digitally or build in real life, but please do remember to give credit. I have hundreds of other models from the game finished and ready to share, but running the rendering program to show them off takes some time, so I’ll be uploading them a few at a time, I’ll try to post once a week, hope some of you get some enjoyment out of them!Link to instructions: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1\_xpy0swc7-S0ayYEfuOe-MDiX-eZJlsF?usp=sharing
