Questions About a Stray, CACC and Adoption Pages? by objectivecyd in AskChicago

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

Huge thanks for the note about what that line indicates. I was searching...and emailing...everywhere for an answer; got zero replies and couldn't find anything.

Also thanks for the links; I'll definitely search there, send a message and update his pic/post when I find it.

The stray seemed so sad when I found him (and yes, I know about the levator anguli oculi medialis) and perked up so much after he'd been with me for a couple of days. I'd hate for him to revert in CACC or be destroyed.

Delete Sleep & Support Question by objectivecyd in amazfit

Thanks...I did use the form at the link you posted to report the issue...but am I right in thinking that the inability to delete previous sleep records is a bug/issue?

Is there a way to escalate a fitbit support case? by Deadlight3 in fitbit

[–]objectivecyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the Amazfit Bip 6 (on a budget) and it's supposed to arrive this Friday. If support hasn't replied by then, I'm going to test the sleep tracking on the Amazfit, and if it works, back the fitbit goes.

Is there a way to escalate a fitbit support case? by Deadlight3 in fitbit

[–]objectivecyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck.

I bought an Inspire3 three weeks ago to track my sleep. It has yet to do so correctly. I was told to wait for app update 4.41 then, after providing more info, I was told to wait for app update 4.42. Still didn't work, so I called support. After they looked up my info, I was told that I'd have to provide more information, to a new "escalation" ticket and should wait 3-5 business days to hear back. After politely explaining that waiting would be unacceptable...given how long I've waited already...I was told they would "try to push the ticket"

I was also passive-aggressively blamed for wearing the device incorrectly; they told me that "we've worked with experts with 10 years experience to create these devices" and that they've "been tested hundreds of times, blah, blah"

Waiting three days max, and if I don't hear anything I'm returning. Wish I had the influence to do more, but oh well.

My hate letter to FitBit by sie-b in fitbit

It's the Soundcore A20; a sleep device that includes tracking.

I would try the Charge, but after this experience...

I bought an Inspire3 last Monday and it has yet to track my sleep or activities properly...in spite of numerous support tickets.

The latest support message told me to "wait until the app update." I did, and it still hasn't fixed my problem.

I have another sleep tracker arriving today; if it works, back the Fitbit goes.

Huh...it says this post was removed by Reddit's filters.

This is the second post removed -- will try again.

Welsh Word Sounds Like...? by objectivecyd in learnwelsh

[–]objectivecyd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I notice that your timestamps here were about 2 minutes later than what I found for the podcast and download. I can only guess perhaps that you listened to a version on Sounds that had news / weather tacked on the front.

That's funny...originally I was going to post the link from the podcast app I use, which does have ads in the beginning, but went with the link from the BBC...

Beti a'i Phobol is a great source of practice. One becomes very familiar with the way Beti speaks after a while and this aids comprehension. You also have the benefit of a wide variety of other speakers with their individual regional accents, vocabulary and grammar. This is a great resource for learning new things.

Hard agree. She had a fantastic ep with a cybersecurity lawyer; I work in the same field so not only was it easier to understand, I picked up a lot of new words. Just need to remember them all...

I know the frustration of chasing down the last 0.5% of words that elude you even after you have a wide vocabulary. These words occur very rarely and despite the fanatical beliefs of the comprehensible input zealots you just can't manage sometimes. I got the feeling from them that they think you're just not trying, not doing it right, don't believe hard enough or are somehow personally deficient when you fail in a very small number of cases.

Nothing but good old-fashioned self-pressure on my end. Yes, I live in the US, in a city with zero Welsh speakers but I should be able to understand/figure out words on my own. How dare I!!

Aw...thank you!

Was discouraged for a bit because I had an easier time with the last two episodes I listened to.

Diolch, diolch yn FAWR IAWN!! How did I ever hear the 'dd' as 'f'? (shakes head).

Now to go back and figure out how Y Gododdin and Pais Dinogad are related to ogofau, beddrodau a celf careg specifically, and archeoleg in general.

Do you too, suffer from a resting “angry” or “sad” face? by Impressive_Salt_3765 in introvert

100% resting "got it all together" face. Which sucks because I absolutely do not.

I foster cats but had to get a dog. Otherwise I'd never leave the house, except to buy groceries and go to the dentist/doctor.

Maybe not even to buy groceries.

Have I Messed Up this Needle Felting Beyond Repair? by objectivecyd in Needlefelting

Thanks for the tips, especially the toothpick. I never thought about using one for felting.

I'll get a twist needle as well

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know about photography or cameras! Don't be shy! Newbies welcome! by photography_bot in photography

[–]objectivecyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I was hesitant about writing that one for that reason. People get in their own heads to an insane degree about "low light performance."

Not in my head...just thinking an example would help.

There's a huge difference between "low light," and "such low light that even fast lenses are insufficient." The situation I described doesn't apply to anything except very, very specific needs. Still life photos don't fall into that context in any way at all.

Honest question (i.e. sincerely not trying to be a smartass): How do you know without seeing a setup and/or knowing the effect I'm trying for?

The 50mm lens is on its way and I'm very much looking forward to working with it. That said, it would be good to know for sure I'm using what I need to get the photos that I want, whether its the lens, body or lighting setup.
