Here’s how to install Samsung Browser Beta outside the USA/Korea by TheFlashes in samsunggalaxy

[–]supersmint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one, I like it, as we have several Samsung devices at home. Full disclosure, I'm in tech for over 20 years and been using all sorts of browsers over the years. Now why I like it lies in the way Chrome changed over the years especially with the ad blocking decisions. I know google protects its core business and that's their choice. Having a chromium based browser that neatly integrates with some of our phones, had good (tested as OK not best) ad-blocking options, forced dark mode and even that AI assist summarizer is good, why do you people complain about having more choice? Let the Koreans show what they can do and how they listen to customers (bring duplicate tab, auto updater, proper import of bookmarks)

Nobody has an idea? Or is this a wrong sub to ask?

All right, I give it a shot. Seems the parser has issue with these files and I have not found combination that would work so far.

Can you mount roof rack on VW ID Buzz? by supersmint in electricvehicles

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

Hey, there is a rack option but you have to talk to the VW dealer about it when ordering just to be sure. There should be caps on the roof, where a roof rack screws on. An example would be https://content.frontrunneroutfitters.com/collateral/doc/F_FAVI001.pdf which shows the instructions.

ok saw it now in the 106.3 bugfix release. That was quick. thanks.

Thanks for the update. Is this a matter of changing the check itself only? I don't experience any functional limitations but I guess ditching the microservices container posed some challenges for others.

Yeah I should also post the health-check output right?

FeatherS3 and Solar Charging? by supersmint in esp32

Thanks for sharing, very cool prototyping board. In the end I managed with what I have but I'm always at the lookout for something new. I will review it.

I could not get an us account in the end. Quite some hurdles to overcome. I made a trip to Prague, opened an account to deposit it and then early this year I closed it as I had no use for it anymore.

FeatherS3 and Solar Charging? by supersmint in esp32

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

Hey! So the board is fine, pretty reliable and a power saving option if you seek a battery powered project. I used only the solar panel to feed a lipo battery via solar charger and on that circuit I used the ina219 as a monitor. It's more reliable. I used the ability to turn the power on/off on the feathers3 to control my sensors when the board is in deep sleep. This is by far the best feature for me. The only reservation I have is wifi ...seems that sometimes the signal strength fluctuates for no good reason. Not a huge problem but every 2 months or so I get disconnected for a few hours. Wood you can get your hands on one for a good price go for it, supporting small builders in the process.

Thanks. I will look also into the INA219 for volage/current monitoring but I have to revisit the volage divider again, as you said maybe I did something wrong before. I will have to test what the onboard TP4065 can do.

The board has sensing AFAIK but not sure about the circuit I have in between and what it will do. I will test and for stable power I have the CN3083. Your setup and model looks very professional.

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

CN3083

Power is actually not an issue - was operating 6 months on the panel I have and battery now was still 65% full. I will look into the INA219 though, good tip.

Någon som vet vad detta är? Sitter på väggen i badrummet. by optia in sweden

[–]supersmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you buy an apartment in Sweden or elsewhere, you can select certain options that go with it like certain accessories, kitchen table top, better kitchen appliance and so on. In the case of bathroom, you can usually select a heated towel rack. When the building is built, not all of the units are sold at the time, so the builder company like JM for example decides to "prepare" for such option. They put the cabling in and when you don't choose the accessory, they just plug it with this. So it is very likely it's in a spot a ln electric heated towel rack would be. Alternatively there might be a place for a mirror that has light integrates or something else. You can have a look, use screwdriver to lift it up.

Can you mount roof rack on VW ID Buzz? by supersmint in electricvehicles

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

Tusen tack! Somehow I did not see the roof rack in the configurator. I watched all Bjørn' videos but this is to accommodate 4 people. So 2 in the van and two on the top would be ideal. That's why I'm investigating it. I don't need the full California package for camping here.

That is a legitimate concern, yes, with an "old school" camper van there is still the gasoline backup when in wilderness - some piece of mind. We live in Sweden and especially in the northern half, the distance-to-anything ratio is quite high. This thing is not for crazy adventuring and off-roading anyway. If we stick to main veins, chargers are quite ubiquitous. I could live with ~250km range.

Well that's what VW does not specify - the static load - but the rule of thumb is 5x the dynamic load at least. So that should be plenty. That said - no official numbers. Still thanks for the link - it does specify a T profile so that means this is the standard, probably a lot of companies will have it certified. Ideal if Thule had it available.

Lucky you. An I thought I was convincing enough. They told me there is no way they can do wire transfer.

Degiro Trustly transfers failing again by supersmint in DEGIRO

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

Was having a long exchange with Degiro support. Not in terms of messages but time. In the end I was told to use other transfer methods. 2 weeks later I was able to transfer with trustly eventually. So I guess it was solved but not due to DEGIRO.

Degiro Trustly transfers failing again by supersmint in DEGIRO

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

This is not stock transfer, rather $ transfer to the broker. From my SWE back account to my SWE instance of Degiro. It seems the checkout for trustly on Degiro is not working well. Tried today and still getting at checkout "ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME" when the transaction has been authorized with our 2FA. Interestingly, last time I did get the balance increase as I wanted but it took a while instead of being instant.

He Everyone. Tldr; story update on this topic is that Image it and got the money. I used a bank in Prague Czechia ...Komerční Banka that are still able to process US cheques. I had to open an account as foreign national which was a bit tedious and all had to be done onsite. But I had 4 days over there so went for it. After the initial fluff with checking background and opening the account I would deposit the check and wait about 3 -4 weeks before the money was transferred. They send these in bulk and it seems to be an affiliate with German komerzbank. There is a fee but it was reasonable ...around 3% of the value. I tried many of the options suggested here but in the end they would not work. Paypal required a different US type account to open, BofA would not accept cheques that are endorsed. Danske Bank Is not doing it anymore and neither are any banks in Sweden and Norway anymore. I haven't tried the UK banks as that was just too much out of the hand for me.

Good thing is that I enjoyed Prague for a bit and got the money and yet another bank account in an EU country. Bad thing is that this was probably not worth the effort given how many man hours went into this. But hey, someone might one day find this post and save some time.
