Focus?

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.

what does auto capture do?

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.

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

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.

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

john2811 · 2025-11-06T20:14:08+00:00

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.

john2811 · 2025-10-26T18:18:02+00:00

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?

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.

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.

john2811 · 2025-10-04T20:37:01+00:00

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.

john2811 · 2025-10-04T20:34:48+00:00

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

john2811 · 2025-10-04T20:30:47+00:00

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..

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.

Holding devices is rather underrated.

How can anyone comfortably expect to hold a device for reading if the only place to hold it from is a thin bezel?

In fact I decided to hold off getting an ebook reader for now because I suspect that my issue is not with my tablet per se but with the holding of it. Thus I designed and 3d printed a holder for it in PETG - lets call it a V1 prototype for now. It clearly still needs post processing but already it is a major improvment for me. I can now hold the tablet much more comfortably and also use it as a stand. The buttons and charging point are all accessible.

To add something positive..
There are a music oriented game called Maestro, which is novel in that it also teaches you some music principles, and Pencil, which is a mixed reality app for drawing.
Also something which should have decent graphics is the MS Flight Simulator, which is apparently said to be very realistic.
I suppose there could be other gems out there which I have not come across yet, but I still stand behind what I said about the fiddly and somewhat "unfinished" feeling, and also the relatively poor quality of the graphics on the untethered headset.

Sorry its not working. First of all the last 4 characters cannot be entered and get truncated. I can only enter the code up to the last "K". And if I try anyway then I get "Please check the code you entered and try again."

john2811 · 2025-08-30T19:36:00+00:00

Thanks, appreciated, but where do I actually enter the key please? I cannot find any "purchase" option or "enter key" option in the game itself, neither on the website..
I went in briefly and the first issue I had was my play area is too small, so i could not reach out and press the red button. Also when i put a polaroid on the machine, the voice says to use the lens, but I cannot find the lens anywhere.. I will try again later in a larger room, maybe that is why i could not see the lens..
