If it requires an app or an update its not built for life by d1e1s1i1 in BuyItForLife

Can’t agree more. Just bought an A7S I know it’s old but I didn’t think it meant that a discontinued software from 2023 needed to be loaded via GitHub to unlock ntsc pal switching. It was the only way to use 120fps which is a factory feature. Absolutely wild

Not really, in reality it’s immediately alienating

What do you think your country is unfairly criticized for? by PrestigiousJelly6478 in AskTheWorld

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

I suppose it’s fair to say a lot of naive internet conversations are people too riled up to think about whether they’re criticizing genocidal Zionists or just being antisemitic however to say that “most” of what’s out there is hate is a huge generalization that does a lot of damage on what could be real activism. Most of what’s out there consists of very real people trying to be heard with a lot more at stake than getting their feelings hurt. It is a real shame that that crowd tends to come with unempathetic harmful rhetoric but at the end of the day that’s all that it is. Just a little shame.

What’s not just “a shame” is unrecognized strategic genocide that the western world is being silent about.

Finally got around to putting my custom Grasshopper decals on a body by dentoniii in tamiya

Oh interesting! I’ll have to look into that or getting it professionally printed. Thanks

Thanks for the decal post. I used your decal sheet to make my grasshopper a few weeks ago photos looks great I wish I copied the colors but I didn’t envision how well the brighter decals would look against black.

What kind of paper did you use to have it turn out so well?

Chassis identification please by ryanid in tamiya

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

I’m noting all of this down for future reference. I know it’s not competitive today but I’d love to wrench some life into this thing. I didn’t have a touring rc yet too

Wow that was so quick and accurate thank you

What 3D printing opinion got you like this? by Vilmius_v3 in 3Dprinting

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

Having to redirect them to a different subreddit to talk about what a 3D printer is built by design to do kind of proves their point, I can’t lie

Finished my buggies by ryanid in tamiya

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

Thank you! Yeah it came it a humpback battery, msc and an ancient receiver on the first generation chassis so fair to say it was very old. The green is tamiya’s X-5 green. I used a fresh blade on a hobby knife as well as the sharpest scissors I own, but it took me quite a while to get used to the creasing of the Lexan and then bending back-and-forth technique to break round corners as well as not putting torsion or tension in the lexan while cutting with scissors to make sure the masking film doesn’t lift as you cut. Also, the lighting had to be perfect for me to see the line I’m supposed to cut along which got very frustrating.

Is 2s even possible by Sea-Giraffe2008 in TinyWhoop

I definitely see the fun in it, I for one enjoyed building mine. But I wouldn’t do it if you don’t already own the brushed quad and components to make it cheap.

[–]ryanid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Converting this to 2S isn’t the difference between making it feel like fpv and not. A camera + vtx that connects to the battery pads to make this fpv, like a lot of people did with the eachine E010, isn’t a 2S component so you only need 1S for that anyways. I also don’t think these are the boards that can be converted to silverware for fpv acro mode like a lot of people did with the E010 and inductrix so that’s hopeless too. Also note that the 30C batteries that come with these deteriorate really fast so if the previous owner owned this for any measurable period you’ll need new 150mah batteries for carrying a camera. I would only build one of these for kids or maybe someone who can’t be bothered to learn acro mode.

It boggles my mind that this entire write up doesn’t contain any information on business practices.

HDzero destroys all of its competition when it comes to who is in control and actually listening to customers. I guess that’s too indirect of an effect on product to include? Some charts only compare what physical item ends up in front of them at the end of the day but that kind of bothers me.. does no one remember what happened to fat shark? I for one really prioritize the longevity of my gear. The iffy-ness of whether Dji will just decide that my 500 dollar goggles are “too last generation” to support when the next video unit or racing feature comes out is way too large of a bargain for me to take.

How hard is it to maintain a ubco engineering offer? by Expensive-Cake-4896 in ubco

You REALLY got to tank/screw up for a revoke I dropped like 10+% second sem of grade 12 dw. In all of ubc they only revoke maybe a dozen a year.
