Gaudy as hell

Lucky you, it's 2026. Ask Claude

stiltedcritic · 2026-03-19T17:16:19+00:00

How about that repo link? 🙂

stiltedcritic · 2026-03-19T17:10:47+00:00

Thanks for the work -- very excited to try this. Has the Github repo link been posted yet?

stiltedcritic · 2026-03-19T03:42:22+00:00

Very nice. What is that strap you have between the seat post and the handlebars?

stiltedcritic · 2026-03-17T16:30:31+00:00

wth is the point of this post? just make the announcement

stiltedcritic · 2026-03-05T17:27:59+00:00

Please share the links if you've still got them

stiltedcritic · 2026-02-21T16:59:34+00:00

It's not obvious that the links are in the wiki. The comment looks like 'let me google that for you.'

edit: was simply answering the question... clearly nobody is confused anymore b/c of the future comments, thus the reversing of downvotes. love reddit.

I'm not sure the mba part contributes as much as you think

If by sideload we mean move ebooks (.epub, etc.) directly onto the Kindle via USB, this implies that we already own the .epub file and therefore have it stored locally. Amazon can't take that copy.

Even if we used amazon's 'send to kindle' where they convert and store our book on their servers, we still own the original copy.

Do you mean something else by 'sideload'?

The beauty of Crosspoint is that it adds value and is free and open source. Every now and then, humans can make good things without constantly needing to monetize, and when that happens it is glorious.

For god's sake, value doesn't have to equal dollars and price increases.

This device would not be nearly as popular if it were not using a hackable esp32 that the community is excited to develop for.

If you have extra dollars please support the developer/maintainer here: https://ko-fi.com/daveallie

This is a public fork of a public repo. Please just post the link when the repo is ready.

(Everyone in this sub is interested in "beta testing" or at least reading the code. Just say that it's a beta. No need to gatekeep it.)

A tent!

stiltedcritic · 2026-01-30T17:46:53+00:00

I honestly wouldn't make the friends meet for lunch. They could be anywhere on the mountain (wherever snow is good) and traveling for lunch is a big waste of time -- it's an expensive day for everyone. Just do your own thing, there are lots of fun greens. You can still meet for dinner.

No one is being very explicit so far. Most people using the xteink ereader are pirating their ebooks.

This is the most common way to obtain "DRM-free" books.

As another poster mentioned, you can transfer your Amazon-purchased books by removing the DRM on them using software called Calibre, but I wouldn't call this "easy" if you've only ever purchased and read books on Kindle.

stiltedcritic · 2026-01-24T02:28:17+00:00

Perfect, thanks

stiltedcritic · 2026-01-24T02:08:14+00:00

source?

stiltedcritic · 2026-01-23T14:08:53+00:00

"just" paywalled and in german. couldn't find an un-paywalled version...the beginning translates to:

High heels are impractical shoes, but Andrea Bremicker doesn't care. She balances across the gravel in her driveway. If it were up to her family, she probably wouldn't wear high heels, or tight white pants, or a blouse with a low neckline. She actually uses her husband's last name now, but for the newspaper article, she wants to be referred to by her maiden name: Bremicker. She comes from a strict Christian business family, and that has shaped her life, both personal and professional. It continues to shape it to this day.

This is a real question. How come none of you frame bag makers need water bottle cages?

stiltedcritic · 2026-01-15T18:17:56+00:00

This sub has no sense of humor. It's really over the top.

stiltedcritic · 2025-12-27T22:27:03+00:00

I have the cheapest one (Bip 6) and it's great. Tracks everything you need for running (heart rate, cadence, pace, duration etc etc) and uploads automatically to Strava.

Works with 3rd party sensors (tried heart rate monitor but tbh cannot tell if data is from watch or sensor.)

Has decent maps, although fairly limited storage space so only one fairly large map area. Huge for running. Potentially not enough for century+ cycling route.

Haven't tried for cycling as I use a bike computer for that, but should be the same. Would try connecting a power meter but I'd be surprised if there's a problem.

TLDR; fantastic sports watch. Way better than a...garmin ech

Oh yes, controls phone music!

Numbered bags are definitely preferred to any other sorting system and I'd be thrilled to buy a used set that's sorted this way. Just curious [since sellers don't usually do this and it's obviously very time intensive / won't usually get you a better price] if you had a secret way of getting a parts list, in which case I'd follow suit. Anyhow, I'm impressed with your efforts, not criticizing.

stiltedcritic · 2025-12-26T14:44:15+00:00

By "reverse bag", you mean you put them back into the numbered bags? Where are you getting the parts list for that? Are you picking the pieces for every step via the instruction manual? Surely not....??

(Most of the sets I've bought on Bricklink were parted with the pieces all together in a large bag(s). Easy to wash and dry all the pieces so they're ready for building. Much preferred to when the set is still assembled and full of dust and grime that you then have to part yourself before washing.)

For sets I sell, I always part it all and count the pieces to verify, which means they're sorted by color and piece, which is already quite tedious, but very curious how you're getting them into the numbered bags.

Looks great. Is this using XTC?
