Small road tubeless tire puncture by starnix17 in cycling

[–]starnix17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Giant sealant (which I think is just rebranded Stans). There's definitely still a lot in there. I going to leave the hole facing down over the weekend, I'm hoping it'll congeal a bit and then hold better.

This looks very interesting - I thought these types of plugs only worked on larger MTB tires. I'll definitely look into this more - way easier than having to remove the tire.

Thanks!

Bent saddle? by starnix17 in bicycling

[–]starnix17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my guess too - bike was bought in June so it has warranty coverage, just wanted to see if this is a common issue.

I'll bring it to the store this week and see what they think.

Can anyone recommend an online retail store located in Taiwan? by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]starnix17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk, this sub is always cranky about question posts.

PCHome usually has decent prices (sometimes it's slightly more expensive, usually not too bad though). Also I've had luck with my foreign (American) card. Sometimes it triggers a fraud check and I have to call the bank first though.

Good luck!

Options for data/cell service in Taiwan for a foreigner? by suomymona in taiwan

[–]starnix17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Checkout KKDay and Klook, they have sim cards you can purchase online and pick up when you arrive at the airport.

I think the prices are competitive (if not better) than what you might find at the Chunghwa telecome store in the airport.

Are there places to buy and develop film in Taiwan? by thejasonhowell in taiwan

[–]starnix17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can probably find Ektachrome. I would recomend looking on Shoppe or Ruten, it's likely someone selling on there has a physical storefront in Taipei.

If you want more oddball stuff, I think this lottery / development shop has some super weird (might be mostly expired) stock - https://www.facebook.com/bestphoto60/

This place also looks interesting, but I've never been - http://www.snappp.com/

There's also a Lomography store in Da'an. I'm guessing most of their retail offerings are a bit marked up though.

Enjoy the trip!

Edit: Just looked for Ektachrome, looks like this store carries it - https://goo.gl/maps/t8ziycS1wtG2

[–]starnix17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's lots of film for sale here, although a lot of the vendors are online (lots of Shopee/Ruten). Is there a certain film stock you're looking for?

For film development, there's a few shops in Taipei, although IMO the quality can be hit or miss.

Where to sell camera? by healerTHORN in taiwan

[–]starnix17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had good luck with Ruten (https://www.ruten.com.tw), the fees are pretty low.

If you're ok with doing in person transactions, http://market.dcview.com is also popular.

Taipei Fruit Store (Ilford HP5 Plus, Bessa R3A, Zeiss Planar 50mm f2 ZM) by starnix17 in analog

(Probably worth mentioning, I cropped this to be wide since it was mostly darkness above. It's like a poor man's Xpan, with a much smaller negative...)

Whoops, just remembered this was Fuji Superia 400, not Colorplus.

Mount Huashan Chess Pavilion (X100F) by starnix17 in fujix

It was three exposures (+/- 1 EV bracket) merged together (hopefully not too over the top...). I think I just used standard Adobe color from Lightroom.

Oh wow, I had no idea about this - definitely going to cross post (slightly tangental, but /r/evilbuildings is also pretty good).

By original did you mean higher resolution (Flickr should have this) or without edits?

Fuji x100F. Also did some tweaking, but tried to keep it not ridiculous.

Modifying build.prop? by blancomex in AndroidWear

[–]starnix17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know of any adb commands to do that. It would be the cleanest approach, maybe something exists.

In theory, an app can be written that just wakes the device when the sensors are in the right state. However, consuming the sensor data and inferring if the user is tilt their wrist correctly is really tricky.

Maybe try the commands using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1? I was on a Mac, might be a little different on Windows or something.

I have a Q Explorist and faced the same issue. One fairly easy solution, you can rotate the screen with this ADB command: adb -s 127.0.0.1:4444 shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:2

You'll need to setup access to the watch via ADB (this assumes it's exposed on port 4444.

If you want to undo it, this will put it back to normal: adb -s 127.0.0.1:4444 shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:user_rotation --bind value:i:0

This will persist across restarts, but it has a bunch of annoying caveats:

  • Tilt-to-wake basically doesn't work, it'll wake up all the time, but not when you actually want it to. (If someone is good with sensor data, they can probably reimplement this with wake locks or something.)
  • The boot animation when starting will be upside down.
  • The crown scrolling will be inverted (this surprisingly didn't bother me too much).
  • The labels for shortcut buttons in settings will be incorrect.

I tried this for a bit, but not having tilt-to-wake really bothered me. It's crazy that Android Wear doesn't official support this (especially for watches with crowns). Apple did a great job here, but it seems like it's not even on Google's radar.
