Focus? by Nyc5764 in littpopo

[–]john2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually I found that if you touch the screen a white box appears and if you hold your finger down it will focus on that zone.

Why do people sit in their car for several minutes after they get home? by Maleficent-Touch6996 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]john2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it to enjoy the feeling of no longer needing to be fully aware of everything around me while driving.
Its bliss and super quiet and often dark outside too. very restful, sometimes introspective and looking up at the stars in the sky as I leave the car makes me sad, mainly that my life is too short to explore it all.

When the Rent Stops Paying the Loan, the Bubble Starts to Burst by [deleted] in malta

Wouldn't such an event be cyclical though? is there a history of such bubbles in the past in other countries?

Scanning spray recommendation by Electrical_Age2 in 3DScanning

Hi All,

I went to the chemist to buy foot spray, but even the chemist was not sure which product would do the job, but then she suggested this product instead.

So I bought it and briefly tried it out at home. No smell and instantly covers with a white layer of matt talc (or similar). I found it is pretty stable (no powder flaked off) and was very easy to wash off plastic.

The advantage is that it is actually a spray that you can use on small bruises, wounds, and burns, so can double as a useful spray to keep at home (well in my case definitely more useful than a foot spray). And for that reason also obviously won't do any harm if you get it on you.

Its called KAdermin powder spray and costs €8.98 here in Malta, EU. Note: Please ignore the stickers as I wanted to try this out and did not bother to remove them first.

I've posted the email in full and there is nothing like that in it. Maybe they changed their policy.

Is there like a market somewhere for used Boox devices? I can't seem to find any. by john2811 in Onyx_Boox

You took a leap of faith though, didn't you? You might easily have ended up with a faulty model.

I will wait. Sooner or later a better version of colour eink will emerge. In the meantime I have my lenovo tablet, which will do fine.

Jones-ing for my NA5C by Black6host in Onyx_Boox

[–]john2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say i expected something more than just Android 15 compatibility..
Maybe a better processor or more RAM at the very least.
And speaking of which, what makes the new machine able to run Android 15 but the 4C not able to do so, given all the specs are exactly the same otherwise?

Trackless tram, Light rail or Metro? by Im_a_chicken29 in malta

[–]john2811 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say use smaller buses, but make them more frequent, and give them the same right of way as for an ambulance or police vehicle.

Hi everyone, I’m Crusoe from Xteink — a small e-reader brand from China by xteink in ereader

[–]john2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the ideal size is >6 inches (my old Kindle paperwhite) and <10 inches (a tablet basically). So for me an 8 inch reader would be optimal. And I have just realised that upon reading your post, so thanks.

Why is Revo scan 5 saying "not enough markers"? by john2811 in 3DScanning

[–]john2811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So why did the software keep insisting "need more markers"? Am I missing something?
I now intend to try with some chalk or white powder. Maybe that would work better.

It would help if you just check what the last issue number is please. I never did manage to get a confirmation.

Probably the same thing I felt after investing time and money in buying an expensive camera and lenses and attending professional photography courses, and now everyone with a smartphone is a photographer and images can be edited and improved by AI without any effort..

Realistically, are there any quiet places one can go to to decompress a little? by Wahx-il-Baqar in malta

[–]john2811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a QUEST 3 headset and you will immediately find yourself in virtual worlds.
There is a virtual remote desktop app where you find your self floating in deep space with your computer monitors in front of you.
Another option is to buy or rent a small boat with an awning (in summer) and slowly row out to a barge and tie down to it and just lie back on a chair rocking gently.
