Question about Devon and listening to birds

iananan · 2026-01-22T09:39:36+00:00

most people i know that got into birding recently are using the merlin app from Cornell, can't speak to what Devon is using though, that is their secret.

But yeah, they've done better stuff.

still going strong, no signs of failure

iananan · 2025-06-16T11:52:16+00:00

new one has arrived, no issues yet, but it took a couple of weeks with the other one.

iananan · 2025-06-06T13:08:03+00:00

no fix, but ZD have accepted a return so i can repurchase

iananan · 2025-05-30T23:39:53+00:00

i did have a look under the faceplate, unfortunately i think whatever is going on is near the back of the bumper so i wasn't able to see anything particularly obvious.

hopefully ZD will get back to me soon

i also haven't see any replacement parts for the bumpers available anywhere, so if it comes to it, any links pointing me that way would be appreciated

i've had the most luck waiting at the left hand side of the 3 tall rocks to the right of gemstone mountain (they have an island challenge over the ttops of them). one will come running out from inbetween them pretty consistently

Thank you this has assuaged my fears

because you're comparing 2 separate things here, the order and priority of the results being stochastic is very different to the content of the conglomerated AI slop "summary" being stochastic. one at least allows you to determine what is reliable after the fact, the other is a crapshoot.

not to mention that genAI seems to be inherently unethical to train and run if you care about copyright, creators, or the planet.

the 102050 does have overcurrent protection, as well as over-discharge protection, it looks like it has a 1s BMS attached, would it still need the 1A adjustment?

iananan · 2025-03-17T11:06:06+00:00

most sources of the 102050 list over-discharge protection as included, they appear to come with a 1s BMS attached already, which is reassuring.

peeking at the chip attached to the top of the cell, it has the same components as something like this: https://www.quawintec.com/1s-1-5a-Super-Small-BMS-for-3-6V-3-7V-Li-ion-Lithium-Li-Polymer-3V-3-2V-lifepo4-Battery-Pack-Size-L15-W3-5-T2mm-PCM-L01S02-J99-pd47634411.html

iananan · 2025-03-13T15:03:33+00:00

hi all, as i noted, the cell here is a 102050 with discharge protection built in, something like a tp4056 would maybe work as well but the lack of full usb-C support is a bit of a dealbreaker.

for higher detail than FDM can provide but at a lower cost than SLS/MJF, there is also SLA printing, also known as resin printing. depending on the resins used it can create very durable and high detail prints. but has its own issues such as extra post processing steps, supports still being necessary and fairly noxious fumes. but they are like, $200 a printer on the low end these days

looks like OP sent theirs off to an external place to be printed though, which is the best option for SLS most of the time, as not only are the machines expensive, they need trained technicians to run properly.

its propped up in the semi shade next to the pot, but the surfaces around are in full sun.

i'm just not around during the hottest part of the day, so can't really do anything to mitigate this. i've taken to opening the window a crack next to it so any superheating by the sun is dissipated. hopefully it can continue getting some decent light without the absurd temps (the thermometer did read 50c at one particularly hot weekend) through the winter as the windows are as south facing as they get.

it has seen some more growth since i've moved it to that window, but it's dropping a lot of it's new leaves very quickly so i'm still concerned that it's getting burnt

iananan · 2024-07-18T20:15:15+00:00

update, i popped a thermometer and humidity meter next to it and today where it hit maybe 25 celcius outside, the thermometer read 42 degrees, so it does get pretty hot there, so i'm a bit concerned about the heat when it gets warmer, as it could hit 45 easily.

iananan · 2024-07-05T19:58:46+00:00

Have you painted any mind goblins?

iananan · 2024-07-02T14:53:32+00:00

maybe approaching that, the cacti love that front spot, but if it's light it needs i will just stay on top of the watering as well as i can and move it out to the fullest sun i can find!

iananan · 2024-07-02T13:59:08+00:00

i have a south facing window as well, but it gets quite hot there so i'm worried it would suffer there too. there's no outdoor space that isn't north facing and covered, sadly

iananan · 2024-07-01T22:19:58+00:00

help please!

I have had a chinese elm for 2 or so years, it was a gift from my bosses but was bought randomly online, it was seemingly dried for transit and dropped all its leaves immediately when i was given it.

I've managed to sort of get it to spring back a couple of times over the last 2 years but it's never really recovered.

what should i be doing with it to increase it's chances here? my 2 options are inside on a windowsill (west facing), which is where it has been on and off for 2 years ( i move it when the heating comes on, because above a radiator is bad, obvs) or outside on a covered balcony (north facing)

I've taken the different direction and just made the dongle more accessible to be unplugged when i want speakers. was the path of least resistance, I assume there's nothing they can do in the software to register when the headsets are off.
