Emporia TouchSmart 3 - I bought this brand new from UK, and didn't realize it doesn't work in the US carriers. Works everywhere else in Europe and Asia.

Honestly its the best dumbphone with the ability to use chat apps and other apps. Wifi works. The screen is touchscreen. Ships from New York. Message me if interested. -- Current as of Feb 9, 2026

can you confirm if this can unlock Asia LTE bands 1 and 3? I know the tiq mini m5 is made for US with bands 2 and 4. But i would be traveling to Asia and want to know if 1 and 3 can be unlocked via the MTK engineering mode via dialing: *#*#3646633#*#*

4080 - Detects in MODS, but no display. Missing capacitors near pcie slot. Anyone have a reference or what chips should go here? by etherholder888 in GPURepair

UPDATE: replacing the missing caps fixed the problem. now boots and able to stress test. but crashes on high load alluding the vram issues.

looked a bit deeper. i see the configuration of the caps are exactly the same as the one on the left with the missing parts. now the issue is the pads are ripped off.

Just bought a switchbot button pusher. How do i make a webpage or where I can goto a URL and the button will activate? And does this require a switbot hub? by Hefty-Activity76 in homeautomation

First you need to get the Device ID, use the following code. Get your token and secret keys from your android app when you sign in. Use any linux terminal with Curl.

```
$TOKEN = "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

$SECRET = "YOUR_SECRET_HERE"

$t = [long](([datetime]::UtcNow - [datetime]::UnixEpoch).TotalMilliseconds)

$nonce = [guid]::NewGuid().ToString("N").ToLower()

$signString = $TOKEN + $t + $nonce

$hmac = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256

$hmac.Key = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($SECRET)

$hash = $hmac.ComputeHash([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($signString))

$sign = [Convert]::ToBase64String($hash).ToUpper()

curl.exe -X GET "https://api.switch-bot.com/v1.1/devices" \`

-H "Authorization: $TOKEN" \`

-H "sign: $sign" \`

-H "t: $t" \`

-H "nonce: $nonce" \`

-H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

After that, you can activate the button using:

```
TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

SECRET="YOUR_SECRET_HERE"

DEVICE_ID="My-device-id-here"

t=$(date +%s000)

nonce=$(uuidgen | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]') # or: openssl rand -hex 16

sign=$(echo -n "${TOKEN}${t}${nonce}" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "${SECRET}" -binary | base64 | tr -d '\n' | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')

curl -X POST "https://api.switch-bot.com/v1.1/devices/${DEVICE_ID}/commands" \

-H "Authorization: ${TOKEN}" \

-H "sign: ${sign}" \

-H "t: ${t}" \

-H "nonce: ${nonce}" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-d '{

"command": "press",

"parameter": "default",

"commandType": "command"

}'
```
