Hi all

Unfortunately it seems like my USB port has stopped working and I need to transfer some files to the projector. Transfer files, not stream.

I've tried using Send Files to TV which worked a few years ago but doesn't any more for some reason. I would love to get the official Android Quick Share app to work, but on my PC I can't see the projector and don't see a setting to make it visible.

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

Hi all

I'm trying to reduce the weight of my luggage as I travel with only hand luggage (three months and counting). I'm also a hiker and know a little bit about ultralight fabrics and use some ultralight items while traveling. I often end up walking quite a long way with my bag in more remote areas.

My question is are there any brands which create ultralight items which are suitable or created specifically for onebag travelling? Eg I have a cabinzero backpack which is a great size for air travel and really well made but its also made out of quite heavy material, are there any cabin bags made from ultralight materials?

Also interested in much lighter versions of common items carried on trips.

Thanks :)

Hi all

I'm in Tokyo for a while and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any fabric stores which sell light or ultralight fabrics?

Also can anyone recommend any stores or local makers who nice bags etc made by local makers?

Thanks :)

Hi all

I've found a small number of my epub collection fail processing on GPB, but open fine in Calibre, they are only a couple on mb each.

I've tried simply converting epub to epub in Calibre, can anyone recommend any specific settings I should change to make it more likely the processing will succeed?

Thanks :)

Can anyone say if this has been an issue for them? I've had this for many pdfs, not dependent on where I bought them. The cover renders fine on both the Android app and website and they appear normal on the website but on the app all colours are inverted 😞

Hi all

I'm going to Japan very soon and really want to get a GRIV while I'm there (yes I know they can be hard to find). My question is, if I buy a GRIV in Japan, what is the maximum warranty I can get? I remember reading I can extend the warranty with Ricoh by registering the camera, but I don't know if this will work if I buy it in Japan. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks 😄

Hi all

Recently I saw this post https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5_Jailbreak/comments/1tx57hv/ps5_jailbreak_station_update/ by @a1mhtar which tracks progress of jail breaking, Linux support etc across firmware versions. Several people pointed out additions and corrections which is great.

I'm wondering what is the best way to create this kind of tracker but which many people can contribute to to keep it up to date and hopefully inspire people to help make progress 😄

To me a table in the wiki link the one @a1mhtar created makes most sense to keep it up to date and in a central visible place, what do other people think? Are there additional columns etc people would add? Eg I think it would be helpful to have links in the table to more information eg the how to guides.

Thanks

Hi all

I am the proud owner of a PS5 running on current firmware and I assume like a lot of you frustrated I can't run Steam games on it 😄

It got me thinking, this is a collective action problem, something which the open source community has a bounty system for. I would be more than happy to donate to a bounty to getting Linux working on my PS5 with its current firmware, or at least a more recent firmware than currently works. I'm sure a lot of other people would be as well, I think a lot of people adding $10 to a bounty would add up very quickly.

How could a bounty be set up that was trustworthy and reliable and only paid out to legitimate claims? I am not volunteering to do this, but I would be very happy if someone who was experienced in doing it set one up.

Thanks

Hi all

I know there have been threads on this before that I've seen, I just can't find them. My rental for later in June till mid July was cancelled, so I need to find a new place quickly. I've found several websites renting apartments in Tokyo for a month but I remember reading that several were not good, but I don't know which ones. Can anyone personally recommend websites they've had good luck with.

Thanks 😄

Hi all

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, I've tried to Google the answer to this before posting the question here, but no luck.

In March and April I took two return journeys from Newport to London and both return journeys were delayed for over 2 hours, in fact one of them they cancelled the trains for the rest of the day.

I've been super busy with work and a bereavement and just getting round to claiming for them, over £200 in total and the GWR website has told me I can only reclaim from them for journeys in the past 28 days. I had no idea this rule existed and needless to say this is infuriating. Is this an actual law or is there another way to submit an application for a refund on the two tickets?

Thanks very much

Hi all

I have around 4-5 weeks in Japan soon, arriving in Fukuoka, going to Tokyo and maybe up to Sapporo. I'm wondering rather than just get the Shinkansen I want to see how possible it is by slower trains visiting more places along the way. I can research this all myself and plan a route, but I'm really sure many many other people will have done similar routes before. Does anyone know of any guides, blogs etc where people detail their trips that travel this kind of journey?

Thanks :)

Hi all

I'm travelling for several months and trying to keep things as light as possible, I need some semi formal shoes for conferences, meetings, going to nice dinners etc. I used to have a pair of the old style black Toms, but they changed the design to be much heavier so those won't work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd ideally like something that I can walk around in all day if I need.

Thanks :)

Hi all

Unfortunately I have had atopic dermatitis on my face for two years, the only thing it responds to is oral and topical steroids. I've had it diagnosed by a dermapathologisy through a biopsy.

I'm in Japan for a little while and want to try and see a good dermatologist or dermapathologist while I'm here. Can anyone directly recommend one through experience (no chatgpt replies please) or can advise me on how to identify a way of finding one. My Japanese is very basic so one who can either speak English would be best.

Thanks very much

Hi all

I'm traveling with hand luggage for several months in warmer countries and I want to buy some smart clothes, not super formal but suitable for meetings and office wear. I would really appreciate some advice on what to buy, I do not live or travel to the US so please don't suggest any brands that are difficult to get outside of the US please :)

Shoes: I previously used some black Toms which were very light and looked quite nice, however they've changed their design and are much much heavier.

Shirts: Again I've looked at Muji linen shirts, but from the ones I've seen the coloured ones aren't really smart enough and the white ones are a bit see through, however maybe I've missed a design that would be good.

Trousers: I have a pair of grey Patagonia Hampis which I think will be fine, but any other suggestions very welcome. I was looking at Muji linen trousers which are a bit heavier but seem ok.

Thanks :)

Hi all 

I recently visited the street by Jongno 5-ga station with some amazing hiking and outdoor shops, but a lot of it is European brands out of my price range. Does anyone know if there are any second hand hiking stores in Seoul? 

Thanks :)

Hi all

I'm trying to find an English speaking dermatologist in Tokyo or the surrounding area for an autoimmune skin complaint. Does anyone know how I would go about finding one? I would like to find someone quite experienced, I've seen a lot of doctors and tried a lot of medications with limited success. Is there a website I can search for English speaking doctors on? Or could someone recommend someone?

Thanks very much
