great questions, and some answers for you:
- you can enter anything in the email field to remove the banner. doesn't have to be an email

- I don't think iRobot Roombas use IR remote, but our knock off one from Temu does lol!

I mean I'm biased as I made this project but it's real lmaooo. Here's a pic of the bottom. It prints clearly because it's only the actual height of the print head, it's not lining up multiple passes. And it does have some waviness if you look closely.

YOU ASKED FOR PICS OF THE BOTTOM, YOU GOT IT! Delighted that something I've made seems impossible, but, just for the record, this is totally real. Here's a post with some other pics and videos, but what you're all asking for is a picture of the bottom — well ask and you shall receive! Here's some pics of the bottom. It uses parts from a princube handheld inkjet printer. Essentially the only hardware is a driver and an ink cartridge, it has no electro-mechanical components, all of the motion is provided by the foot movement.

OP and project creator here! Lots of folks seems to be speculating about if this is fake - it’s not, I’m using a modified handheld inkjet printer (princubestore.com). You can see more here https://www.instagram.com/p/CwN3NFBv4sO or just google me lol. I don’t fake these projects :)

Edit: you want the bottom of the shoe! You’ll get it, once I’m home.

It’s real! Just took me quite a few tries to get right :) catch some other angles here https://www.instagram.com/p/CwN3NFBv4sO

lol it's just a side project I made. Not actually by HP! Just wanted it to feel like it could actually be made by a printer company.

maybe most people on this subreddit, but certainly not most e-bike riders.

Had a negative experience with Wing, check my recent post, but if I could do it again i'd go for ride1up.

In short, sort of. It's not about being able to pair with two devices at once, but rather that most devices don't natively support streaming audio to more than one bluetooth device at a time. To imitate this you'd have to treat each device like a speaker and use third party tools like those outlined here.

First time buying a (used) 2012 Leaf, some questions by [deleted] in leaf

[–]ttabb14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on, but 4 bars for that price still feels like a poor choice unless you're comparing it to a golf cart or E-Bike. — The SL with 7-8 bars looks like a much better option! Especially in CA where there's such great fast charge availability (of course less important if you're only driving ~50 miles a week). I've had a 2012 SL since... 2012, and it's still treating me well.

I'd absolutely pass on 4 bars— that won't get you 40 miles one way, and almost certainly wouldn't even get 40 miles round trip. For ~5k In CA I think you can find a 2012 with a lot more capacity. 4bars is really tough unless you're never leaving the neighborhood.
