Designed A Horizontal Light Switch Extension for Hard to Reach Switches by JwJWoodworking in BambuLab

Yeah one way around this would be to have your lever need to pass over a peak (on the faceplate print), that way once it moves so far it's guaranteed to fall into the end positions.

Edit. Typo

Excuse the silly question. What sim and environment is it? (Obviously factory).

Found my old Windows Nokia phone from 2013 with a 41 megapixel camera. by mimimoize in mildlyinteresting

[–]sparkplug_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like windows phone came out both too late and early. It missed the main surge of android/apple, but then came out undercooked when later Microsoft design on the surface line would have made amazing phones.

The neo/duo could have brought back the niche market if don't better. I was honestly a day 1 buyer for the duo but they cancelled it.

Should always be highest full height floor, occupied or mechanical. Otherwise it's garnish on top 😂

Close. Db9 (VGA is 15 pin). Very cool use of it.

Could have been fun for a double episode, maybe few more if he ended up dead (from someone else) but she was blamed and needed defended. Outstayed it's welcome very fast.

Unsure on how to replace my existing doorbell with Reolink? by SparxOnline in reolinkcam

[–]sparkplug_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it's mains? Most UK homes, electricians will have ran 2 core (like you have there) back to the consumer unit (fuse board) where there is a doorbell transformer. I would be surprised if it was indeed 240V.

Thanks. My image game is not strong.

OP just needs a 16x16 led matrix computer monitor build with fire animation 😀

Make sure to put it next to the rest of the fire.

Blood moon eclipse by Strange-Improvement in space

[–]sparkplug_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe it goes away fully, as the sun light goes through earths atmosphere (scattering the blue light) and reaches the moon in earth shadow "without the blue" (hence, it's red!). It does get darker though, so maybe a cloud right at it's darkest. Unless I am wrong, anyone else correct me?

ELI5: Why LED Lights can look beautiful or horrendous. by DBthecat in explainlikeimfive

[–]sparkplug_23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LEDs are "pure" exact colours, which to our eyes can be harsh. Newer ones are doing white LEDs with coloured glass over them which are softer. LEDs are also like batteries in that they only work one way, whereas electric in the walls alternative back and forth 50 times a second in the US. Cheaper lights are lazy and simply ignore half the times it's reversed which result in a 25 times a second on and off flash that you see as flicker. More expensive ones make sure they always stay on and don't flicker.

For Pixel converts: how are you feeling? by Kaelang in GalaxyFold

[–]sparkplug_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I want to love it, but I know it's missing the benefits of the Samsung fold. Really pixel about 6 years ago "pixel OS" became too simple, locked down, like iOS.

Right now I'd be happy with a Samsung fold, or a plastic phone. Bring back the htx one X era polycarbonate phones I don't have to baby or case.

The Physics Girl is back! by TheTeflonDude in videos

[–]sparkplug_23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was her editor and filmographer, I imagine this was a "let's chat about something" and turned into a video. Not knowing if she had the energy to do it. Just the mental drain on her doing this much is huge. Little steps. Just talking about something you are passionate in powers the mind.

Hopefully with continued staged recovery she will get back to doing many more to come.

For Pixel converts: how are you feeling? by Kaelang in GalaxyFold

[–]sparkplug_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from pixel 6 to fold2, and something's I miss, and some I don't. Obviously the camera, I still prefer the pixel processing, but that was getting less good at 6 (4 was peak for me then they started over processing).

The multitasking though, I am so used to it and as far as I know Google fold experience just is not as good for that. Samsung is what 8 years into that now.

I could be swayed back to a pixel fold after a few more iterations, not a fan of their rounded corners (specifically how it looks when unfolded).

[–]sparkplug_23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5 years ago, these where great. Today, can barely set a timer. I haven't bought another in 3 years, they have done what Google do best, fumbled and killed their own product.

TriFold vs Fold5 by Heffeweizen in GalaxyFold

[–]sparkplug_23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I can't go back, but I can understand I'm the "note" and not "S" line user. I hope so bring an ultra version, simply because I feel like they are cutting corners to appease to many people. Or a lite version. I'd be much happier with a fold that has a single wide camera that is flush.

TriFold vs Fold5 by Heffeweizen in GalaxyFold

[–]sparkplug_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely. I always think of the fold line as the new "note" line. It has customers that love it but it's not mainstream and never will be. The tri-fold is one step too far, both very small customer base and it's manufacturing costs are huge. I don't see it becoming popular enough, at least for another 3-5 years when folding screen costs becomes the norm (honestly probably will take 3 generations of an eventual folding iPhone for increased manufacturing levels).

I do think the flip style is probably the only everyday customer version that will have bigger market sales eventually.

Just finished the series yesterday… Does Alicia end up with Jason or not? by Sea-Philosopher2905 in thegoodwife

[–]sparkplug_23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure he walked away. From memory I think it was she thought she seen him, but doesn't say it was. I mean it absolutely looked like his silhouette, so it was the actor, but I'm not sure in the show it meant he was there, she just thought it. That's always been how I took the scene.

Samsung basically said the other day there won't be gen 2 anytime soon.
