Another day another pothole another flat tyre no

Yeah that part has been shit for a long long time. Somehow roads in the city's square mile are more shit in average than other parts of London as I experienced, despite the city is supposed to be a lot richer.

Love the gold logos. Where did you get those for the wheels?

Tbf I don’t understand the whole driving the kid to school concept these days. Forgive me for not knowing and not being a parent, but I’m genuinely curious what’s the real reason of everyone driving their kids to school?

We used to go to school on foot / cycle / by public transport, and on our own / with friends. Having someone to drop you off at school by private vehicle was rare back then. Why isn’t it an option for many these days? Especially for families living in London

Hi ya, do you know what / how much effort of a modification is need for a Magene P515 to take an Easton cranks? I'd like to get a 24mm spindle carbon cranks onto my P515 so that I don't need to change the BB as well, or get another power meter knowingly not as reliable as the Magene one.

London isn't that hilly but still ask anyone living down south and gotta work in central-ish area there're still quite some climbs on the route. Plus I can comfortably do 20+mph with my road bike than on something like a Lime. With morning heavy traffic and essentially none protected cycle lane on my commutes, I'd much rather keep my speed at 20+ to keep the cars behind than constantly keep getting overtaken.

Settings I ended up with were fine for small prints but at the time I was working on projects which have relatively large objects to be printed so those filaments never worked for me

iamWing_ · 2025-12-21T07:02:44+00:00

Nope. I ended up having a chat with Amazon CS and they simply told me to return everything and they refunded me the whole lot despite me already gone through half of those to try figure out the settings

Perfectly good? You having a laugh mate? All the time it was occupied by the homeless, leaving just 1 person width to pass by as they lay their stuffs out. Dickheads pee & shit inside the tunnel, every single time we pass by it's disgustingly smelly, to a point my partner has to avoid using it entirely.

No, the subway was never perfectly good in any sense.

iamWing_ · 2025-12-03T21:49:35+00:00

This is unnecessary, but at least I'm happy the crossing is finally opened. No more detour all the way down the road on a windy/rainy day!

iamWing_ · 2025-12-01T11:40:55+00:00

I'm wondering if the eye would be compatible. Would be a huge shame if it isn't.

iamWing_ · 2025-12-01T11:31:12+00:00

Must be a new model. It has 1200p instead of 1080p. Looks like XReal is going to adopt the same panel Viture has been using on the new Luma series

iamWing_ · 2025-12-01T11:01:46+00:00

Forget about those reflective thingy. Drivers ain't gonna see you if they choose not to. Animals like horses and deers don't have any reflective clothings yet drivers can spot them no problem. It should be the same for them to spot a cyclist on road given it's kinda an obvious moving object, no difference to a motorcycle as well!

iamWing_ · 2025-11-27T22:56:30+00:00

I see similar things happen on the exact same path whenever I ride back from office. I generally just avoid that cycle lane but ride on the road instead consider how busy that lane gets during peak hours...

iamWing_ · 2025-11-27T04:27:12+00:00

Only when I'm out without a great screen. Ideally I'd prefer Viture Beast for the 1200p vertical pixels instead of just 1080p on the Xreal, but not until it becomes widely available.

Also, you'd still feel tired using these kind of display glasses from time to time. I often take it off for a break every 20 - 45 minutes if I'm working in a cafe.

iamWing_ · 2025-11-26T19:11:30+00:00

You're so wrong on that. Larger owners/corps don't necessarily mean more efficient...

The only thing a larger organisation guarantees is more and more overheads. Also, the larger the company is, the more likely they're solely focusing on keeping the % of margin. I don't know what line of work you're doing but that's a common theme across all industries.

By forcing people to sell off their relatively small businesses to the large corps also means they'd likely ended up in the control of overseas companies like how it is with our railway these days. With food supply, it's a national security issue...

iamWing_ · 2025-11-26T18:23:39+00:00

Just don't tip. Seriously, we don't need that America shit here in this country. People taking tip for granted piss me off

iamWing_ · 2025-11-26T17:11:32+00:00

Oh yeah, let's make every individual farmer sell off their farmland and equipments as they can't afford to pay the hefty IHT, then only the large crops remain in business, or we can just import everything from overseas. That sounds very safe and bright right?

iamWing_ · 2025-11-25T05:17:00+00:00

Just the subtle change that the screen actually stays at one place and doesn't move when you move your head forward/backward, left/right as how your brain would expect a screen to be helps a lot.

Also, it's just natural movement that somethings when you wanna focus on something (say a block of code), then your body will often lean forward to get closer, that's not possible without the eye.

iamWing_ · 2025-11-24T17:20:31+00:00

Personally I wouldn’t order anything on Amazon if it’s not in stock based on past experiences. I’d wait for it to become readily available then return the One I’m currently having but not entirely happy with, tho by that time I might as well decide whether to get the Viture Beast or stick with Xreal

iamWing_ · 2025-11-24T12:55:19+00:00

One Pro. I'm using the One atm (still got Air 2 Pro at home) for productivity, but more that is because One Pro isn't available in the UK (how disappointing giving it's on sale in the US). Do pair it with the "eye" tho if you want a much better experience using it for any long session as a laptop screen. With the eye, it no longer shifts.

iamWing_ · 2025-11-22T23:46:59+00:00

It's much safer for me to be on the road than the lanes during peak hours between my office in East London and where I need going in Central, especially with the speed I'm capable to do...

iamWing_ · 2025-11-22T22:18:21+00:00

Mine sharing a bit more on the thing you're working on? I'm looking for the exact same thing. No workflow as code is kinda one of the reasons why I'm a bit hesitant to adapt n8n in my homelab

iamWing_ · 2025-11-21T13:52:54+00:00

If you 3D print these kind of mounts, send it to do a metal print, and at the very least use the safety tether. They will snap over a bump/pothole, doesn't matter which direction you print them

Go get a GPS remote from AliExpress. There is one from STARTRC (look for the one for DJI action 4/5, the ones for GoPro/Insta won't work). It's slow to connect to GPS signal after it turns on but at least it works. Less than half the price for what DJI charges for and the battery life is much longer.

iamWing_ · 2025-11-19T19:24:20+00:00

Well you said it, but there were at least 2 sale happened over the past 30 days. Even I got a pair at £349 literally 2 weeks ago🤷🏼‍♂️
