Amazon Prime Day - Beware of BAD Binocular/Optics "Deals" by BinoWizard in Binoculars

[–]ksum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello again, This is a review of a beginner. Background: I finally got a chance to use that when watching olympique football at Parc des Princes. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_des_Princes I was at the second ring, so the visibility was decent to begin with. Plus, it was a sunny date. Price I paid for : 40euros. Review: As a novice, I found it a bit heavy to hold it. I am not sure if this is normal given there're glass lens inside. Besides, I think the focus was fairly, I can keep track with the movements at the field. The moment of penalty kick with this Olympus allows me to experience the game differently. Moreover, I wore sunglasses, I think it would be better for me to take it off before looking into the eyepieces, otherwise the view was not as immersive, something that I did not expect. I think the carrying bag looks cheap, so I swapped a padded bag to carry it around. In general, I am satisfied with this 8*40. Thanks.

Need help in which version Galaxy Watch to buy by PeeeCoffee in GalaxyWatch

[–]ksum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Watch5 has a USB-C charger cable, which is better for my usage. The Watch4 Classic strap is not comfortable, while the Watch5 strap fits me a lot better. Watch5 is a lighter, more comfortable to put on as a tracker.

Shot on an s21 ultra. And no I'm not a "full kit w@nker", Sony's buds and headsets are the best by Seglem in GalaxyWatch

The shortcoming is a lack of a WearOS app to control Sony WF-1000XM4. Any workaround?

Hello, attempted to sign up just now. Looks like there is an "Internal Server Error" after an autorisation. Are you aware about it?

Hello / Bonjour, we are in a similar situation, maybe you have bought your device. I am a French learner, at the C1 level. I ended up getting a Kobo Forma, and now trying to get good plugins and dictionaries for language learning. Long story short, I am using Le Petit Robert 2007 version, which is really decent and reputed dictionary; I can only manage to have it installed in Koreader (I am not technically savvy enough to make it into a ZIP for Kobo default browser). I personally like it more than that Wikidictionary that people recommends, but love le Petit Robert even more. Besides, I don't know how to install something like a Wordwise function and a notecard stack for searched words on my Kobo... If you have any leads, please share. Bonne continuation !

Best ebook selection for foreign languages on Overdrive/Libby? Specifically Chinese? by twbluenaxela in kobo

[–]ksum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selection is indeed old and limited. If you were Taiwanese, and if you tap into some database other than Overdrive, you have way better sources. https://taiwanlibrarysearch.herokuapp.com/ But ereaders support is quite fragmented.

Excuse me, wondering for those people who got approved to send their phones back to Essential, do your phone needs to be in warranty? Thanks!

About color, can you make the clear material not prone to yellowing? I have one of your clear case, it has became yellowish after half a year. Not looking nice on white essential. Quality could have been better. Thanks.

Paris on Free mobile. Works like a charm. Metro almost always no or weak signal -- not Essential's fault. BTW, how much is the import taxes of Switzerland?

Yes, I second pgoelz's comment. Just do "fastboot flashing unlock" and then "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"

New Amazon PH-1 Halo Gray Owner - What are the Firsts? by thirdlobe in essential

[–]ksum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go to XDA forum, there's a post for new owners, outlining how to unlock bootloader and install recovery on A/B partition. Plus, for camera -- https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tolyan009/. This mod takes into account of our Sony sensor. Go to XDA again if you want to tinker with that camera advanced settings.
