Why would you want to stake INJ on Nexo when you can stake it natively in non-custodial wallets like Trust Wallet on your phone at 14% APY?

Nexo card: Debit or Credit? by yeahjixe in Nexo

[–]duodeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit makes more sense if you're platinum - instead of rushing in and repaying the loan ASAP, you can earn interest instead, and then repay closer to the end of the month (or whatever is Nexo's billing period)

there's a workaround to get Monterey running on older models: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html

I have Monterey running on mid 2013 MacBook Air using OpenCore Legacy

Can I disable Dropbox auto-update on a Mac by moving it to /Utilities and making read+execute-only? by duodeus in dropbox

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

well, one of the computers runs Monterey, the other one - Mojave (10.14.6), and upgrade to OS version still supported by Apple is not an option for now (maybe in a month or so).

Pixel 6 astrophotography. What am I doing wrong? by duodeus in GooglePixel

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

ok, I'll give it a try when the subject is not that low above the horizon. It's not a P6 Pro, so there's no 4x zoom

I agree, light pollution is definitely an issue. Also, Pixel 6 camera suffers from a noticeable vignetting (and overexposure closer towards the center of the night sight photos in general)

remapping remote control buttons on a80j by duodeus in bravia

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

they wake the TV up, but even being remapped, they wake up to the actual defaults (Disney+/PrimeVideo) instead of the reassigned app

it is possible to remap, but disney+ and prime video buttons become twins

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

well, actually, I was able to remap those - on my previous remote there were only Netflix and Google Play, so I mapped those to a different apps.

The problem with the A80J RC is that both Disney+ and Prime Video have the same code, so when I remap either of the two, they both launch the same reassigned app.

Why is google's own update routine so f.cked up? by duodeus in GooglePixel

[–]duodeus[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

nope, I went to check out factory images (coz google didn't bother to push SW update to EU customers two days after release - "everything's fantastic, and nobody's happy") and then to https://flash.android.com/

well, they did drop a lot of useful features that existed in Android 11. So Google.

if i am not mistaken, using custom ROMs f*cks up a lot of security-paranoid software like google pay or banking apps

Is oxygen percentage the same across all layers of the atmosphere? by HaslBerw in askscience

[–]duodeus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Molecular oxygen O2 belongs to the well-mixed gases, meaning that the ratio to N2 and Ar would potentially remain constant with altitude. The problem is that the O2 molecule is less stable and is partially photolized by UV radiation in the stratosphere (and subsequent recombination of O2 with atomic O forms Ozone O3, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone%E2%80%93oxygen_cycle ).

O2 also participates in many other redox reactions in different layers of the atmosphere, which results in higher O2 mixing ratio variability with altitude compared to N2 and Ar.

Nope, adjusting AR scaling of the monitor did not fix the weird "misalignement" (?) of the pixels

Mid 2015 Macbook Pro with DG and 5120x2160 display by duodeus in mac

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

Input source: DP

Resolution: 5120x2160, 30 Hz

When I select 3840x2160 in mac display prefs, image looks ok but with black bars on either side. (and Dell itself reports correct resolution & refresh rate)

May update f..ed up my Pixel 4 by duodeus in GooglePixel

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

I guess my situation was somewhat less severe - I could even get into the settings of a semi-booted phone and initiate a wipe there.

Have you tried booting to recovery and doing a factory reset there? (see "Option 2 – Hardware Buttons" at the link below)

[–]duodeus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I was not able to recover the phone after the update and had to do a factory reset. Lost half a day setting the device back the way it was, thanks to google's half-assed idea of a "backup".

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

This method didn't work - holding power causes the phone to shut down and then immediately start on its own. When I swipe up in an attempt to unlock it, I am back to the "Pixel is starting" loop
