@kop316 And bread pudding!

@shortwavesurfer2009@cheeseburger.social The phone was locked and my dad was deceased so I didn't have the unlock code, so I assumed a standard factory reset would resolve it like it had on past Android phones. It was only when I was going through that initial setup wizard that I ran into the brick wall that is FRP.

If you collect and use vintage ⁨#safetyrazors⁩ I recommend adding a Stahly live blade to your collection. Using a hand-cranked, clockwork vibrating razor seems weird at first, but each time mine come up in my rotation I get excellent shaves

@JohanEmpa Lovely collection they have there! That last disassembled one looks like an electro-mechanical Friden. That's one I don't (yet) have in my collection!

I understand the security reasoning for the feature. I just also understand that cooling the secondary market with uncertainty about used phones is likely a stronger motivator for the feature than reducing theft.

I tried to repurpose my deceased father's old phone into an audiobook player. I discovered Android's Factory Reset Protection in the process. How do you Android users put up with this? (I know how, you just buy a new phone.) Another phone going into e-waste...

I may need to pause this restoration for a bit. It is looking like I may need to replace my alternator in my pickup and I only want one disassembled machine lying around at a time.

@twrightsman This is my first printer with a bowden tube instead of direct drive extruder. I will be tweaking settings for awhile I imagine to strike the balance between stringing and jamming. I'm looking forward to the increased build volume over my wanhao i3 plus.

I just got a new ⁨#3dprinter⁩ which means the next few days will be spent printing out upgrades and accessories for it. First, a bracket to hold the Raspberry Pi that controls it, along with a camera mount.

The way this mechanism works, only some of the gears from the keyboard mesh with the multiplication register gears. Numbers 5 and above are too far out of alignment to mesh with that register. For some reason (angles I guess) this doesn't affect the upper gears as much.

After spending most evenings before dinner tinkering, I think I've discovered the problem with multiplication. All 1s-4s transfer to the register while all 5s (and above) don't. I got 5s to work when pushing the carriage diagonally, so I think there is a carriage alignment issue.

Isn't She Lovely was just on the radio. Ever since I became a parent it gets me every time. But then Careless Whisper followed it and all I could think about was Sexy Sax Man. ⁨#truestory⁩ ⁨#rollercoaster⁩

I should have mentioned how to enable this if you are running Phosh on a Librem 5:

gsettings set sm.puri.phosh automatic-high-contrast true

Phosh has a new optional feature that uses the light sensor to switch to a high contrast theme whenever it detects you are in direct sunlight. Very cool, especially since it also applies to the lock screen and all GTK apps too. #Librem5
