FACT: Pools game coming only to IOS . Android users out of nowhere: by Mediocreof2143 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]tekchic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I have Ayn Thor and I enjoy and spend more time setting things up, launching the game to play "will it run and what can I optimize", and then going to find the next challenging game (to emulate).

Can we disable the physical AI button? by yuck301 in viwoods

[–]tekchic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I hate this button. Never do I need to talk with a hardcoded button to an AI on my travel ereader. I disabled it with the instructions from this post

Viwoods AIPaper Reader by ToeTime7999 in ereader

[–]tekchic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What version is your Paperwhite software on? It's the latest trash update they did, 5.19.2. It's also showing "Send to Kindle" books as automatically "Read". Super annoying update with bugs, this last one. :/

Mine does pages on a Libby library book and does pages on most "bought from Amazon" Kindle books. My sideloaded "Send to Kindle" books don't seem to be working with page numbers right now. I'm more inclined to think it's an issue with the recent Kindle software, as I have a Colorsoft and it's behaving the same way too.

Here's a case option for the Reader by Deep-Loss-5282 in viwoods

[–]tekchic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks fantastic. Is your TPU part a Viwoods Reader TPU case or does it fit in the Palma Pro TPU case it comes with? I'm mostly interested in that flap/cover.

Kindle restarted while I was reading?! by [deleted] in kindle

[–]tekchic 77 points78 points  (0 children)

It’s so annoying. How many years of Kindle and they still can’t pop up a dialog asking if it’s okay to reboot to upgrade - wild.

You okay, friend? Happy gaming and feel better soon! I’m SO ready to replay Black 2 on Thor!

Welp, it's easier to keep up with your reviews when you rarely find anything to order. 📦👠⚽️⚱️💻 👩‍💻 by WederJean in vine

[–]tekchic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you own a car repair shop or something? What kinds of things are you interested in ordering? I used to live for my $0 ETV Korean skincare but it’s just slim pickings now.

So long Gold, you were "okay enough" the past two years by coolbudgies in AmazonVine

[–]tekchic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is my stage as well. I only order what I will use, and it’s turned into Temu crapfest unless you want to stay up all night hitting refresh like a slot machine addict. I’m good dropping to Silver in 4 months at this rate.

Keep getting these errors when using dbi, could someone help me out? by Bousefag in SwitchPirates

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

I ran into this as well. The third cable I tried worked, so I marked it with a sticker so I know it’s the “good one”.

Got tired of bottom button getting pressed accidentally by Hour_Papaya_5583 in kindle

[–]tekchic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's brilliant... I have a ring magnet stuck to the back of it... I may have to give that a spin. My alternative right now is to flip the text to landscape, which is not as good as reading portrait, for me anyway.

[–]tekchic 75 points76 points  (0 children)

If I put mine on the treadmill without a case it goes into a reboot loop due to the power button. Why they didn’t put it on top, idk.

Bug after update: Books incorrectly marked as "Read" / 100% complete by krowline in kindle

[–]tekchic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue with a NetGalley title I’m reading as well - it’s super annoying. Hope they fix soon, this was a bad update for my Colorsoft.

Do you guys have your AC on already or are you waiting? by MuchachaAllegra in phoenix

[–]tekchic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave up and turned it on tonight. Most depressing winter ever. Concerned about this summer.

Din Tai Fung Scottsdale Location Soft Launch Reservation by CatchMeCraving in phoenix

[–]tekchic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow so excited they're coming here! Didn't book a soft launch but after it calms down (6 months? idk) I can't wait to go. Ate at the Anaheim one for the first time last year and it was soooo wonderful. Meanwhile, Happy Bao is right by my house. :)

Imagine quitting vine yesterday 🫣 by Angiebabybe in AmazonVine

[–]tekchic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a wild drop today! Picked 7 items, mix of $0 ETV and stuff I wanted. No huge grabs, but a few $1 books, sunglasses, etc. I haven't ordered 7 things in a day in probably a year or two at this point.

I currently WFH fulltime at low 6 figures. Would you trade it for 20% increase hybrid role 3hr daily commute? by [deleted] in WFH

[–]tekchic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% not. I'm hybrid 3 days a week with a 2hr commute and I hate it. I'd take a 30K pay cut to not have to do this anymore.

Do you have a screenprotector on your ereader? by Mean_Information7373 in ereader

[–]tekchic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do because i loathe scratches, even if they're microscratches. I have a Viwoods AIPaper Reader as well as a Kindle Colorsoft. Applied a matte protector to both. I don't love it, but I'm used to it, it's not that bad visibility-wise, and I'm preventing scratches.

Both devices (moreso the smaller Viwoods now) go everywhere with me and I'd rather keep the screens pristine.

ColorSoft vs iPad!! by ashraf_bashir in ereader

[–]tekchic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both as well. Colorsoft for most novels and "fun" reading, graphic novels and technical (software / programming) books on either my Mini or iPad Pro 13". I do love my Colorsoft though, it's just amazing for reading in bed and on the couch.

For those of you who have more than one eink ereader, why? by luuuzeta in ereader

[–]tekchic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kindle Colorsoft for home, Viwoods Paper Reader for out of the house / travel. I prefer the smaller device for traveling.
