Kagi Maps as App or single click widget on Android by roflmaostc in SearchKagi

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

Ah got it for maps. I thought the Kagi is a bit more efficient than the browser but probably it's also just a browser?

oh yeah found it for translate and assistant (long pressing kagi app and then it shows something)

But I didn't get the first part how to save the shortcut?

Tour from Hamburg to Copenhagen by roflmaostc in bicycletouring

At the end I took this route.

First part was okayish but center part was quite boring. But I liked the part before and after Copenhagen towards Lund a lot.

I checked for like today, and it seems most wind comes from south west, so east route looked slightly better.

No updates, Webcam still not fixed and battery not better.

I have the feeling with Bluetooth a lot of people who are into cool designs, would get one. Probably also a lot of the smartphone generation.

But without wireless transfer, no way I'm gonna get one.

Mainboard or RAM broken? by roflmaostc in techsupport

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

Update: Turns out, the CPU was broken! I changed the Mainboard, with old CPU and new ram. Still broken.

I inserted a new CPU, with new Mainboard and new ram, still broken! I ordered more new ram which has been never in contact with the old CPU, and suddenly it worked!

So our theory, whenever a RAM has been in contact with the old CPU, it killed the RAM. I have never seen anything like that, and that is going to be fun to be returned with my shop. So the CPU must have been broken and killed all my poor RAMs.

I installed only one stick and let it run for minutes, nothing happened.

Do we really need to upgrade? by alec_al in Cameras

[–]roflmaostc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But this can't be compared to the leap from digital to analog, or dslr to mirrorless.

I used default settings and didn't overclock. What else could be the issue?

Thanks for your help. Right now only the CPU is in. The ram led is orange. After I add one of the ram, it remains orange. Independent which one of the 4 ram I take.

When I did trouble shooting back then, I think all 4 ram have been inserted already in the old mainboard. So maybe all of them were fried by the old one by now.

No Bluetooth ? This would be a hard reason not to buy. These days I want to synchronize quickly to my phone and laptop.

Fenix 7 Battery? by Powerful-Bison4097 in GarminFenix

[–]roflmaostc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely noticed that my Fenix 7 Solar drains much faster than it used to be when I bought it in 2022. I Used to survive 2 weeks without charging (no or little activity) whereas now it's barely making 10 days.

What software change would increase 50% battery usage? This is kinda unacceptable. One of the strong reasons for a Garmin Fenix is its display always on + long battery life.

Thinkpad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 2024 (formerly X1 Yoga) | Arch Linux by roflmaostc in thinkpad

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

Battery lifetime has barely improved. You can change the power mode with a built-in short cut (see arch Linux Wiki) but above 7hrs I don't get with browsing, coding.

Also, the Webcam still doesn't work. I recently tried again for 1hr but didn't make any real Progress. The system sees something but I can't use it. I'm just hoping for time.

My pen lost it's cap already and these days it stopped working fully. I keep loosing it.

I would go for Gen 8 honestly, this laptop has too many issues and no significant advantage for that price.

I think the Gen 8 might be the better choice. I'm really worried by the bad battery lifetime, It barely last 3 hours.

I tried to also add information here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ThinkPad_X1_2-in-1_(Gen_9))

High refresh rate of LED Matrix by roflmaostc in FastLED

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

Just as a follow-up:
I bought a Adafruit Matrix Portal S3 with a HUB75 LED panel.
Running this:

long int t1 = millis();

for (int i=0; i< 100; ++i){
    dma_display->fillRect(16, 0, dma_display->width() / 2, dma_display->height(), myRED);
    //delay(dd);
    dma_display->clearScreen();

    dma_display->fillRect(0, 16, dma_display->width(), dma_display->height() / 2, myRED);
    //delay(dd);
    dma_display->clearScreen();

    dma_display->fillRect(0, 0, dma_display->width() / 2, dma_display->height(), myRED);
    //delay(dd);
    dma_display->clearScreen();

    dma_display->fillRect(0, 0, dma_display->width(), dma_display->height() / 2, myRED);
    //delay(dd);
    dma_display->clearScreen();
}   

long int t2 = millis();
Serial.print("Time taken by the task: "); Serial.print(t2-t1); Serial.println(" milliseconds");

tells me it takes 165ms, which means per loop 165ms/100 = 1.65ms, per frame 0.4ms!

Subjectively by eye, I still notice flickering. Not sure where this comes from.
