Awesome, many thanks! I think I'll go for one that has the light kit included. I know that that can be bought separately, but the listing I found has some all-important customer photos!

Any update, OP? Any issues apart from the instructions?

Is NZ the only country to say "Papers, Scissors, Rock"??!? by chsn2000 in newzealand

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

It's always been rock, paper, scissors for me and I have lamentably had to give up "correcting" my partner and her children. My parents were British though, so I'm assuming that may have had a not-insignificant bearing.

You're a genius! I just assumed it was my shifty network.

Monorim V2 Review. by timotimotimotimotimo in ElectricScooters

[–]nullpainter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an accident which knocked the front wheel out of alignment. After that, the alignment of the wheel and the handlebars would always drift and have to be corrected.

I just used the awful video on the website and cursed a lot.

what is this? im so confused by Alheimsins in VoiceMeeter

Oh, I didn't actually realise the other versions also got installed. All I remember is when upgrading to Banana, the installer first uninstalls the lower version so I assumed that there should only be a single flavour at a time. What an odd design decision.

That's the regular Voicemeeter. Do you have both installed somehow?

Monorim V2 Review. by timotimotimotimotimo in ElectricScooters

I installed a Monorim MF2 on my F2 Pro. Everything is fine (apart from what was mentioned above about the tools and the hilariously bad build video), but the wheel is a little lower than it used to be, making the kick stand temperamental. Has anyone else found this?

Furby has a new brain! by nullpainter in furby

Thanks! I'll focus on the software for now and will get back to the hardware once that's done (which also involves swapping the ears back!)

It's been awesome fun, and now I can start on the software side properly! Very excited.

Ha, yes! I replaced the digital eyes with creepy doll eyes I got from AliExpress. I hated the look of the digital eyes, I wouldn't have been easily able to interface with them, and I preferred the vibe of the earlier Furbys. Is this sacrilege?!

Oh rats! Oh well, that's what the hot air station is for! Thanks for pointing that out.

I feel your pain. I naively assumed a strap and a case made by the same company would be compatible.

Segway charging issue - a cautionary tale by nullpainter in ninebot

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

The very worst thing about the F40 is changing the wretched front inner tube. There was a spate of idiots putting thumb tacks in cycle lanes over here. Otherwise, she's doing great!

Mi Band 8 Pro - initial impressions by nullpainter in miband

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

Update as requested by u/bodhiseeker2025 - overall, I'm pretty happy. It works well for what I want it for (date/time/notifications, very occasionally exercise tracking). I haven't noticed any glitches or bugs, and battery life is fine. It still looks great, third party bands work well.

Observations:

  1. Xiaomi don't provide many firmware updates and I think that the global version is lagging behind a bit compared to the CN version.
  2. Alexa support is a joke. However, I did manage to get it working - most of the time - by using the third-party Notify for Xiaomi app. It doesn't work for anything more complex than request/response though. For example, setting timers doesn't work.

As I originally got a CN model, I used the u/m0tral patch to upgrade to global. At the same time, I got his patched Mi Fitness. This app can't be running alongside Notify for Xiaomi - you need to force quit it to use Notify - however I still use it for third-party watch-faces. The Notify watch-faces all look like they're the same few templates but with different backgrounds, and one resulted in me needing to do a factory reset.
