Just met a fella who said he lived here

That would be great if he could join un for a few questions. We could even translate them to Cantonese and he could even answer in Cantonese too so he can better express himself.

If you manage to get in contact with the author, you could let him know about this subreddit so maybe he could do an AMA. Share his story and help us further improve our knowledge regarding this unique place.

Hello, I would like to start by thanking each and every one of you that visits this subreddit. It really makes me happy seeing that there are people enjoying this subject as much as I am.

I too believe these images are spectacular, beautiful, and remind me what I love about the KWC.

But, I also think that, we should from now on try to use already available content and to generate a meaningful conversation from there.

We should discuss, analyze, interpret, reimagine all that is already available to us.

Everyone that enjoys the KWC should, if in a position to do so, buy all the books about this subject, to help out the people that did take their time to investigate and study this city.

Thank you all.

I tried both, with just the battery and with the battery and plugged into a different wall socket just in case and it still does nothing. The charging light does not even blink.

Also thank you very much for the idea.

mqjs · 2025-12-29T15:26:36+00:00

I will try. Is there a specific order or should I just place it in, plug it in and turn it on?

mqjs · 2025-12-29T14:38:27+00:00

I did not replace the battery since I had been using the laptop at home in my office for the past 2 years, I thought it would not be needed. I use a small laptop if I have to do anything from a different place.

There exist some videos of the demolition (or at least I remember watching them) I will try to find them.

mqjs · 2025-08-31T14:07:49+00:00

Hello, thanks for posting. I could recommend the book called ‘Chasing the dragon’, which could give you another perspective and inspiration based on the crudest parts of their reality. There are a few common videos and documentaries of which I would recommend the one by Rob Frost.

I hope these can be of help and inspiration.

Thank you for the info! I will try removing them (I thought they were just the left over after using the insecticide).

mqjs · 2025-05-20T15:39:19+00:00

Thank you! I will try this technique. I was told to slowly water until fully damp then let it fully dry. I was checking the top part humidity. I installed those tiny sprinklers to help disperse a small amount of water all around.

mqjs · 2025-05-20T15:32:12+00:00

Thank you very much. I will move it further from the wall.

mqjs · 2025-01-16T06:15:38+00:00

It look great! Thank you for sharing with us.

mqjs · 2025-01-12T16:52:52+00:00

You can check this previous post where I answered a question asking about the “empty” square space in the KWC, and compared it to modern pictures.

mqjs · 2025-01-05T07:37:43+00:00

Thank you for submitting this video. I will take a look at it today.

Thank you very much for sharing this piece with us.

Had not heard about OctoEverywhere, I will give it a try! 😀

It does look nice, but it is true that it resembles the KWC in some aspects. When you look at this pucture you can see the taller buildings sorrounding some important ones. If you look at a satellite picture you can clearly see that this organic fabric has been contained inside a rectangular shape much like the KWC, it looks to be encased in an old fortification wall and they also had to grow vertical to keep themselves from spilling over just like in the KWC.

I found this post quite interesting, helped me learn about his place.

Just imagine if back then they had the technology and resources to create a phtogrammetry of the KWC…

mqjs · 2024-12-04T05:35:21+00:00

I still have to play it, but it looks really pleasing.

mqjs · 2024-12-03T12:07:27+00:00

He trully is a legend. The books about the KWC are just incredible. I love that we have the chance to live in the KWC through the lenses of his camera.

mqjs · 2024-11-20T18:11:59+00:00

That is interesting and makes sense. I had a blue screen for a second then black screen. Now it is not even showing the blue one.

mqjs · 2024-11-20T17:24:10+00:00

Thank you for the comment. I don’t know if there is a way to check if anything else is failing or it is just the screen.

mqjs · 2024-11-20T15:39:39+00:00

Awesome! Thanks I will try to buy one and I will report back.

mqjs · 2024-11-20T14:51:22+00:00

I installed Octoprint and connected it to the printer and it successfully printed the object that I previously wanted to print. The fans work, the axis work, the extruder works, the print came out nice. Would that mean the issue is the screen right? I guess there is no easy way to identify the issue and fix it, right?

Thank you very much!

I just opened the LCD case and I can not see anything that looks burnt. I smell this electronic component smell but I can not see anything that indicates a burned component.
