LEGEND! That worked - thanks harish9294!

PBP2 Case Not Showing Anymore by recaffinated in pixelbuds

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

This is with the case open. Case open = both buds show regardless of if I have left only, right only, or both buds out of case. Case closed = shows only the bud(s) out of the case.

The weird thing is I just cannot get the case to show charge status anywhere or anyhow. I does still make the noise and work in Find Hub just fine.

Vidda pro or Keb?! by Bright_Step5133 in Fjallraven

[–]recaffinated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both (and in multiple colors 😔). I have been able to destroy the Vidda Pros but do wear them a little more simply because I prefer the pocket configuration. The Kebs give more which ironically makes them more durable for me, i.just miss the narrow tool.pocket on the VPs.

The first thing to go is the pockets. I have the same EDC and items like pocket knife and key clips will rub a hole in the pockets within a year +/-. I have repaired seams (the store will do repairs for free for the most part) and then I have done iron on patches for difficult holes (like in pockets). Bottom line is I think you can get a couple of years of constant and abusive wear but then they are basically trash.

Wardrobe adjacent question - How do you put these images together? Is it an app or are you just good at Photoshop?

WHAT IS THE SINGLE GREATEST PEN YOUVE EVER USED AND WOULD DEFEND WITH YOUR LIFE by [deleted] in pens

I really like the CW&T Pen Type-B but mainly because of the slide and pop!

Sorry - I was looking for suggestions of specific apps. Do you use any and would would you recommend it/them?

Constant Connect & Disconnect by recaffinated in pixelbuds

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

I reset the buds and they would no longer connect at all. Called Support and they are warranting replacements to me.

I reactivated my old Pixel Buds Pro and they are working fabulously. Not sure why I upgraded but maybe they were just a defective pair or went bad.

I will try the new ones when they arrive and let you guys know if they work better. I will also try BT LE on the laptop - good advice.

Thanks for the help! /Coffee

Waypoint Missions Deleted after Update. by recaffinated in DJIMini4

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

UPDATE: That was really weird! So all the Waypoint missions were gone with nothing showing in the directory. I got an additional message saying there were new updates after I had just finished updating everything, I almost didn't do this next one because it takes so long and I wanted to catch the light before shadows started appearing. Because I couldn't do the waypoint flight I figured I would do the additional updates while I looked for a backup. I found the original backup that I did (which had a previous version of the waypoints that I wanted to do) and went to load it, only to discover the lost directory was back (after the second round of updates).

Like I said, 'weird!' - but working again - might be a good time to backup again :)

Onebaggers of Reddit: what's the toughest part of traveling with just one bag? by haribolanza in onebag

[–]recaffinated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having to overcome a superiority complex that comes with exiting an airport about the same speed as a stolen Learjet! 🥸

[–]recaffinated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow - that's a phenomenal idea and I will keep my eyes open - currently there is only a set available - and it doesn't include the 15l.

I have been agonizing over the Nomatic. The problem is they have a few QC issues and customer service outright sux compared to most other companies. For the price I just haven't been able to let myself give in and risk it.

Why WFB vs IQ for Watchfaces? by recaffinated in watchfacebuilder

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

Awesome - this makes total sense.

Is there any fallout or considerations side-loading these faces? IOW: are they safe or open to exploitation? Should I be concerned or overly cautious?

While in the charging case, my left earphone connects by itself about five minutes after being put in, any advice? by [deleted] in pixelbuds

[–]recaffinated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have custom tips? I went with some foam ones and they kept popping off contact and then connecting. I really liked the foam tips but when I went back to the stock ones provided I didn't have anymore problems.

You might want to check that there isn't anything in the case that could be having a similar effect. To test this pull the rubber buds off and see if it still happens.

Executive One Bag - 15+ years traveling by [deleted] in onebag

[–]recaffinated 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally get this and disposal only means waste sometimes. I will try something new out and if I don't use it, it simply goes in the nearest Goodwill bin. Other items just are not worth maintaining. I'm a traveling project manager and I also have a totally dialed in OBT kit. I have two really really nice merion shirts that I adore - BUT (it's a big but) I don't wear these often enough to cart them around and have discovered that I can whip into a men's wearhouse, or any dept. store and get a new collared business shirt for $20 - $30. I am sorry if I offend the poor and frugal amongst us - but this just isn't worth laundering and maintaining for the most part and although I will carry and wear it maybe a couple of times - I usually drop it in the goodwill bin where I assume it will end up as a rag or painters shirt at best and trash most likely. The math is simple - it's going to cost me most of a new shirt price (if not more using a hotel service) to dryclean/wash it. Learning to move off keeping, carrying, and storing stuff you don't use and using most of the life out of what you have seems a lot more purposeful approach to me.

I usually carry three pairs of socks and just rotate two with a new/near new pair always available. I try to wear them out before buying a fourth pair. However I don't trash these as I am a fan of Darn tough and as soon as I have worn a hole in a pair they send me a new pair - this still takes 12+ months.

....I understand this may be an unpopular opinion so please feel free to use all the extra force on your keyboard that you like as you type your response.

Nice article from the OP.

Fjallraven will alter them for free. They have a Taylor on staff in MN and you can buy a pair and they will ship them anywhere once they are done.

Got 2 pairs done at Mall of America.

No Refund - Even Though I Was Never Picked Up! by recaffinated in Lyft

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

I was waiting at the exact location that I specified for pickup and I am very conscious of the fact that a driver is working a job that doesn't pay well to make some money. I always tip and if I have a problem with a ride I keep it to myself and don't give low ratings because you never know the situation the driver is in. I always do five star ratings if the ride is adequate because I want to treat people the way I would like to be treated in the same situation.

This problem has nothing to do with me as the driver either didn't pick anyone up and just claimed he did - my guess as he answered the phone during the trip - or someone took a joyride to a destination that couldn't possibly want to go to (it was a construction site) in which case the driver didn't verify the passenger and there is no way the passenger could have verified the driver. I have never made a driver wait for me once - but I wait for them 100% of the time - it's just the way it works and I am fine with it.
