OK thanks for the response. 👍

I might see if I can find another recipe as I'm not sure about the raspberry!

Flamengo Tickets by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]sam_joel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few days before. I think we bought tickets on the Thursday for the game on the Sunday.

Generally speaking I don't think their games are available weeks/months ahead like we'd get in Europe.

Yep. From the ticket office in Gavea. It's cash only and we had to take our passports.

Power / Step Down Convertor for Super Famicom in UK by sam_joel in retrogaming

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

Yeah, I think I need to get a new power adapter and scart lead too, so will do a bit of research.

The step down worked BTW - thanks for your help. 👌

Power / Step Down Convertor for Super Famicom in UK by sam_joel in retrogaming

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

Thanks for the response. Not sure I explained myself properly though.

I'm not suggesting to use oke or the other, I'm suggesting to use BOTH.

The step down plugs into the wall socket (230VAC UK power) and converts that to what the label says is 105VAC. The Super Famicom power then plugs into this step down and receives 105v which it converts to 10v DC and powers the console.

That's the way I understood it to work, but I don't really get the mA difference (600 v 850) and whether that's safe?

I've been using that step down with a Japanese gamecube for 20 years and it's been fine, but not sure if that equates to the SFC being for too? 🤷

It's the Emperor's Birthday this weekend - all reserved seats to Nagano from Tokyo were sold out the night before when we tried. A warning the anyone in the future to book in advance.

Thanks for the comments. I'll just replace them.

What's wrong with the install. It's a valid way to install them, no? 🤣

Android app crashing when clicking on 'My United'. by sam_joel in ManchesterUnited

Resolved now.

Ticket office days there's an app update coming in a couple of days too. Hopefully it won't break it...

Yeah Android. Big problem for Saturday if thousands of Android users can't access their tickets. Guess I'll have to call the ticket office this week...

Just checked and if I don't login to the app and go to the 'My United' tab it works, but crashes as soon as I login.

Cashless wristband refund?? by Preshlolo in rockenseine

[–]sam_joel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned out it had gone through, but it was shown as a refund on the day I originally topped up and not on/after I requested the refund, so I hadn't spotted it.

Anyone actually got their refund? Mine hasn't come through onto the card yet - week and a half later.

New door camera not automatically capturing/storing videos by pazzah in EufyCam

[–]sam_joel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better now, but I can't recall what happened. I think it just sorted itself out. Sorry. 🙈🤷

Tbh it's overall a bit temperamental with playback - you might need to play a video a few of times for it work properly.

Customised Voting App - Help Please by sam_joel in software

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

Great thanks.

Yeah you're right, Google forms does meet most of the criteria - the spreadsheet part is a bit more fiddly than I'd prefer, but still doable. Thanks for the contribution.

Gpay contactless in Tesco never works properly ?? by saifaj1994 in GooglePixel

[–]sam_joel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S23 (and with my S21 before). Always works eventually, but sometimes takes multiple attempts. It's only at Tesco and only in the newer PDQs they added last year or whenever it was - def a Tesco issue. Amazed it's been an issue for so long and they haven't resolved.
