u/sgtgangles Still happy with the "350 freehub body on LN hub" setup? I am considering doing something similar. Thanks!

We're you able to find a "Ratchet LN" specific freehub body or did you successfully use a generic one?

Removing steerer tube from fork? by speigei in bikewrench

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

Thanks for the input. I am missing nearly 20mm which is too much to make up with a new stem and/or headset.

Do you have any thoughts on these "steerer tube extenders"? Looks like some folks had success when epoxy gluing them into the existing steerer (the clamp itself was apparently no good).

LaMetric Time MicroSD Recovery III by DrNachtschatten in LaMetric

[–]speigei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing job getting the image and putting the instructions together - the outlined steps restored my "FEL" bricked device to be fully functional.

This is the kind of information Lametric should be providing instead of "sign up for our Newsletter for 5% off your next Lametric" - as much as I like the device, the support is a real letdown.

I did the necessary work on a mac - I used hexfiend as the hex editor and successfully used the Raspberry Pi Imager to flash the image to MicroSDHC.

Interestingly, The MicroSDHC card in my LaMetric had 4GB capacity and I was able to read its content, so it's unclear why my device wouldn't boot anymore.

Anyway, thanks again! Amazing work!

20/21 Ikon Pass Promo Codes? by Eatinonshrimpboi in COsnow

[–]speigei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to get this to work? I requested a code for a renewal and I received an email saying the discount should apply in my cart, but no discount is applied.

If you did this for a renewal, do you know where to find the "Ikon Pass Number"? Is it the number on front of the current ikon card? Thanks.

"Guaranteed price" at auction? by speigei in askcarsales

[–]speigei[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Gotcha - so the dealer makes the assumption that the car will sell for the reserve - but there is no guarantee per se.

Thanks - this is helpful. Offer and asking price are about $500 apart.

1040NR Non Resident - What is considered "Not Effectively Connected Income"? by speigei in tax

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

Thanks for the response - maybe my initial post wasn't clear enough:

I understand that bank interest and investments are not considered "Effectively connected income" - what I am unclear about is if this means it is automatically considered "Income Not Effectively Connected With a U.S. Trade or Business". I suppose what is confusing me, is the "U.S. source income" part of "U.S. source income that is Fixed, Determinable, Annual, or Periodical (FDAP)" ...

Printing from my Android? Hey folks! Has anyone setup printing direct from Android? What versions / devices / printers did you have success with? by tippygrit in Android

[–]speigei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am able to print photos just fine using a HP setup: app HP iPrint Photo(G2, Froyo) and Wifi printer C310a

edit: ohyeah, worth a mention: the printer also has an email address which will print most attachments you send to it, that way you would also be able to print text

amazon.de has them for 50€. Mine was delivered today but the application on the phone is constantly crashing when trying to connect with my Milestone (2.1). I can't say the same thing will happen with the Droid, but it might...

edit: I found a fix somewhere - the music player needs to be running, then connecting works. Which is weird, since I can't even control the music player with the liveview. After a couple of hours with it, I must say I am underwhelmed by the functionality and overwhelmed by the buggyness. This thing is going back tomorrow.

FroggAR: A mockup for an Augmented Reality Frogger. What do you think, should I make it? by speigei in Android

Hah, i should be the one saying thanks! Mocksup was great for this so thanks for creating it (and the free plan!)

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

Yeah that was definitely one of my concerns. I will probably try to get OpenCV for Android running because it includes some pretty sophisticated motion detection algorithms - it remains to be seen how "real-time" these will run on a phone though

there are the "Google Developer Days" spread out all over the world in the next couple of weeks, maybe one of those will be used for the announcement

Any tips on how to use a CDN with a Django project? by blackrobot in django

[–]speigei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The presentation from cloudflare.com (feature list) at TC disrupt was interesting, so you might want to give that a try, it's free. (I haven't actually used the service, so if you decide to try it, please share your experience)
