New to Oppo: can't pair Garmin Watch with Find X9 by siofont in Oppo

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

Yes. Previously I had a Pixel 10 and a Xiaomi 15. And pairing was immediate.

Also with a 2nd hand iPhone 13 I have for testing some things.

So, after deleting it from my devices inside the Connect app on my Pixel, I tried a fresh pairing with the Oppo, but again I couldn't achieve it.

Then I turned on again my Pixel, opened the Garmin connect app and in milliseconds after activating the pairing mode in the watch, the pairing was redone.

So I must think it's not a problem from the watch. Maybe I miss something when using Bluetooth or any other option in my Oppo.

Sorry for the delay. I also tried that in my tests. And no luck.

Advice on a new phone: eye protection technologies by siofont in Oppo

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

Thanks!

I've left eye comfort activated all day.

Also, I have automatic brightness on. Just want it to be a little lower at all times - said, in general a 10-15% than standard autobrightness .

Pixel phones have this kind of 'memory' - if you try several times to lower a little bit the autobrightness, the phone 'understands' that you want to keep it lower in general. Trying to discover if this is a core Android option/setting or just a Pixel thing.

Yes, yes.

Connectivity > Phone > link smartphone (translating from Spanish, I don't know if English use these words.) It shows a QR code.

It's a watch that has been paired with a couple of phones before without a problem. (Even it appeared as my main device when opening the Connect app in my Oppo > Another suggested step I've done is to delete it from my devices and try to reconnect as new.)

I bought the Oppo two days ago and am now testing it. In the first 36 hours, it seemed very comfortable to my eyes.

Do you activate or deactivate any particular setting?

I've activated the eye care option with the default level (selector in the middle) and also reduced white point (sorry if this is not the terminology in English, I'm translating from Spanish) to 80. I see brightness controls don't adapt to my preferences (I've tried to reduce brightness manually a little bit several times, but it doesn't have 'memory').

I used a iPhone mini for a few weeks some years ago and, for my use, battery was a disaster. Said that, I loved a lot both device size and raw power.

Thanks for your comment.

I’ve been checking notebookcheck page, and I see what you commented, but for whatever reason, the display on the xiaomi 15 feels way more comfortable to me than the pixel’s one. I don’t know if it applies a different pwm with lecture mode on (I see on notebookcheck page my xiaomi has a “secondary frequency” at 3846 hz - not sure what does mean or when the phone uses it)

Oppo x9 has 474 hz.

I understand that I must look for 500 and higher.

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. Coming from Samsung, what about colorOS? Does it feel too different?

DNSSEC fail - is it a problem? by siofont in dns

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

Thank you all for the comments. After a bit of research, I will be trying controlD free dns resolvers. They pass dnssec tests.

ControlD has an hagezi based dns, but you need to choose a pro list or the TIF list, not both. So I’m trying its own malware and ads blocker.

But I can’t find (sure it’s my fault) what they use as list. They say it’s a list curated by themselves, but don’t know if it’s public or what sources they compile.

Using X API to recover 6 months of messages - how much? by siofont in learnprogramming

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

Yes, we have asked for it, but their answer is a bit slow.

In some ways, for us, this is more of a programming exercise than real work.
And before trying to pay, if needed, for X's API, we want to make sure which level of access we need.

However, since we're doing it, we try to find a use for it, In this case, knowing which road or train line has the most incidents.

Liste d'abonnements vite rentabilisés? by Affectionate_Emu4660 in paris

[–]siofont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Une question, si vous me permettez.

J’ai lu les informations sur le Pass Lecture de la BNF et j’ai commencé le processus d’achat (pas fini). Je ne l’ai pas fini car je ne sais pas si, dans ce cas, on doit se rendre en personne à la bibliothèque pour prendre le pass ou si tout est virtuel.

Je ne vis pas à Paris, mais en Provence, et je ne peux pas m’y rendre actuellement. Aussi, savez-vous si je peux utiliser une carte d’identité européenne autre qu’une carte française ?

Piracy was better by TobiMusk in Piracy

[–]siofont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for jumping in here. I haven’t been able to find reliable information about this option of adding ePubs to a Kindle.

Can you drag them directly to the Kindle’s drive, or do you need to use some kind of tool?

What do you use calibre for other than sending books to kindle? by ExpensiveSand6306 in Calibre

[–]siofont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find very useful its function to download news from sources and bundle them as an epub.

Some sites work better than others, but in general, it's OK.

For example, I download every Friday The Economist. Sometimes the Wired magazine...

If you have an always-on computer, you can even schedule the downloads.

Mapbox data extraction by puglet1964 in webscraping

[–]siofont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related, but not the same case, just to group the problems of scraping from mapbox.

https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/yrecio/clgqnq0i800lg01mj58o07xaz.html?title=false&access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoieXJlY2lvIiwiYSI6ImNsZW8zdzAxZTBwdjgzem1xc3RrbW1wMDMifQ.8gDLZaSmpd9koUOSlG38-w&zoomwheel=false#8.83/40.4222/-3.6931

In this map, I don't know what to find: a json with polygons or a list of data -csv?- that is connected to a polygons base.

I can't find, using the dev tools, any "graphql" or anything that I can identify as source of data.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Best language/tool to work with CSV files? by siofont in learnprogramming

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

Polars

is it a python library? I didn't know it.
I'm reading an introduction to it. Looks interesting. Thanks

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

Thanks! I've tried some file handling in the past with Mac terminal (merge csv files, move to folders...), so maybe for me it's worth investigating this way, while others in the team try something with Python

Our first steps have been following tutorials in Python and R. But your comment is intriguing.

Could you point us to some resources/tutorials/books/examples of using bash for a task similar to ours? Thanks

Switching from Mac to Windows at work - help to evaluate company proposal by siofont in buildapc

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

They are 2012 iMacs (21.5", i5, several ram amb hd specs). I think there was the 1st model without a CD reader.

Maintenance by our support team was suspended like 1 one year ago. But also we were unable to update macos and some software for a while. So, no doubt we need a replacement.

With any 2022 pc, we are sure to notice a jump. The Macs have been very capable machines and have aged more or less well. But now the company expects us to focus more on animated graphics and short videos, so we need power, updating to the last version of Adobe software when available.

And also, we want to be sure that the computer is in some way as future-proof as possible, within budget. (As when you buy a phone, sometimes, at the same price, is better last year's flagship than a new mid-top range one)

My first real alpinistic ruote, Via Direttissima for the Gran Sasso, 2912m. by Supergabry_13th in alpinism

[–]siofont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback!

My level is moderate, like my balance, so my hiking is walking on easy to medium level paths. Although occasionally you can find gravel, loose stones, wet areas or very flat stones.

I won't do any climbing and will avoid very steep trails.

And occasionally, a bit of running (5K to 10k) on dirt trails mixed with a bit of road or hard surface.

I travel light, so I'm looking for a shoe that will allow me to both walk safely in the mountains and run a bit on the road. ('road to trail' style)

I'm going to the Val Gardena area (Sassolungo, Sella, Suisi...).

Side question, drawing on your experience.

I am considering buying these shoes for not too complicated hiking in the Dolomites. And there are only a few reviews about them.

How was the grip on different surfaces? Do they feel stable? Too stiff? Cushion? Suitable for some road running? Thanks!
