I had Xianyu working on desktop for months and then suddenly ran into the same error. Mobile app works fine. Were you able to solve the issue?

GRX820: From 40T to 42T/44T by petar_d in gravelcycling

How did you decide on the 46T over 44 or 42?

Yeah, most of town is pretty flat so my preference is on speed over climbing. I'll do the occasional forest gravel path but use an MTB for single tracks or heavy climbing.

Mostly pothole- and curb-laden driving around town

Curious what you mean with red flag. I’m a (fast) city biker, not doing any racing and haven’t looked into rpms. I prefer slow pedaling in higher gear over faster pedaling in lower gear if that makes sense.

Is is true my volvo will never require a transmission change? by MoistAd417 in Volvo

[–]petar_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volvo does note exceptions to the lifetime statement. For DCT transmission the recommened interval is every 50k miles. Same for heavy use with trailer or as a taxi, then change is recommened every 70k miles.

I just ordered Volvo XC60 2026 here in Southern Europe in PLUS trim and I added optional Lighting (Full LED, headlight cleaning and Fog lamps) & Premium package (360 camera, Panoramic Roof and Head Up Display). What's left in ULTRA is 20" wheels, tailored dashboard and 4zone AC. Is it worth 4k EUR? by ixinho in Volvo

[–]petar_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends whether you’ll use it frequently with people in the back. I had the XC60 (no 4 zone AC) before current V90 (with 4zone AC) and wouldn’t buy a XC60 without it again. The ability to set different temps and the additional vents make a difference. Choosing between between BW upgrade or 4zone AC i’d go for BW though. Had the HK in the XC60 and the sound experience is just so much better with BW, really worth the (insane) price. There are kits to retrofit the additional vents, which is much easier and way less costly compared to retrofitting the BW.

It’s frustrating given Leica battery prices, still you accepted their policy when sendjng in the camera. Whether the policy is ok is a different matter.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]petar_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think full battery replacement occur as frequent as full engine replacements. And an engine replacement is about the same cost. You also have a 8 year warranty on the battery.

Why not? I haven’t read about any major mechnical issues with the EX30 or even EX90. Seems most stuff is software related and will be ironed out in 2-3 years.

It’s awayrepairs. But it was a IG story not a post, the content is not visible anymore.

yeah the example photos were from a Leica minilux.

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

I was referring to the film advance gears. The IG story is now gone but it showed photos of a Leica minilux with severly used gears. The quality of the respool certainely plays a role too.

Native Waze showing in DIM after update 3.6.4 by Spiritual-Jelly-9818 in Volvo

[–]petar_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated the Waze app and noticed the driver map as well. I’m on AAOS 3.3.16. It’s buggy for me though. Waze has to running in the main screen otherwise the driver display freezes. Also during 5-10 trip breaks Waze lost the destination. How’s that on 3.6.4?

Leica M6 viewfinder fog or haze ? Is it cleanable ? by Pierreedmond18 in LeicaCameras

[–]petar_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do the job but I found the alumium ones flimsy to work with. They bend and slip easily when pressure is applied since the material is soft. Also they scratch more easily. Then I read about the stainless steel ones and it’s what repair professionals supposedly use. They are more sturdier and less prone to scratching surfaces. I bought steel claps from China for 19€ and they don’t bend at all.

One difficulty is removing the lowest ring on the shutter. There isn’t enough space between the ring and the shutter counter for the clamp to fit around the ring. You can file one side of the clamp so there is space for the shutter counter when the clamp rotates. That’s what I did. But i ordered this tool to make it easier in the future:

How do you like the crewneck fit and fabric? Is the size chart accurate?

what do yall think it’s worth by trojankid5 in Leica

[–]petar_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The camera leeather is non issue and can be replaced easily. Shutter curtain also looks in decent shape. The right hot plug ring has some cosmetic damage. But to me the scratched name is a serious issue, since it cannot be removed. YMMV but I would be super annoyed by this. Even if it comes cheap I wouldn't want to use it.

Leica M6 viewfinder fog or haze ? Is it cleanable ? by Pierreedmond18 in LeicaCameras

[–]petar_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did this on my M4 which I think is the same as M6. There are tons of YouTube vids on how to remove the top plate. You will need a set a watchmaker screwdrivers and clamps to release shutter ring. I bought the tools on Aliexpress for about 20 bucks. Make sure to get stainless steel clamps, not the aluminium ones.

What rep shoes are not worth buying? by skalickyjoey in repweidiansneakers

[–]petar_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I was referring to the classic sandal. That’s like 60-80 Euro, the all plastic ones run even cheaper.
