I want something to use for a quick stop to grab a coffee or enter a porta pottie.
I looked into the Ottolock Hexband, the Hiplock Z Locks, and they all seem really easy to just pull and remove without any need to even cut them.
I don't really feel like having a ulock with me, are there any options? And please don't write something "it's fine for a quick stop to just leave the bike".
I already have the "blocking" DNS set up on the console yet every time I connect the network cable to be able to run the PSVue exploit, PSVue updates itself and I have to copy all the files again, and it's become a pain in the ass.
What am I doing wrong? Can I actually just have the cable connected to a dummy machine or do I need actual network connectivity for PSVue to load?
Shot in the dark, but is the person who had a Dahon foldie in black and gold doing laps yesterday at PPK in the afternoon, here? I would love to know more about the badass bike!
I just converted an old USB I had with rekordbox 7 to the OneLibrary format, everything works fine on the new library format, but now the Device Library remains outdated. If I make changes on the OneLibrary, they are not mirrored into the Device Library. I can't even copy playlists or tracks from OneLibrary to Device Library.
How the hell am I supposed to keep a stick that works on all possible devices?
Yesterday while on the Lafayette street bike path, a Citi bike user announced they were passing on my left, which was really unexpected, as all Citi users are savages that don't understand anything about cycling. They were also wearing a helmet and not wearing headphones, can you believe that!
They were followed by your usual Citi asshole, who passed on my right (outside the lane) without warning, no helmet, yes headphones, got too close to the nice Citi user ahead (could have clipped their back wheel), and then proceeded to suddenly brake and turn left out of the lane without any indication, so I had to make a little effort not to eat him.
Big ups unknown Citi biker, wish they were all like you, and fuck you to all the other ones.
Seems like I have misplaced a couple of these, they go on the holes of the fork or the back of the frame on my Domane
like here:
I found this on the Trek website but it says they are made of plastic (mine are like silicon, soft rubber) and these are for the water bottles (different size, I think). They don't even look the right shape:

So where can I get what I want?
I've been logging quite some Km on my bike and I wonder - how do I know when it's time to change the tire? Of course if I notice some really worn section, that's it, but I am hoping to avoid pushing it to the extreme.
Is there any distance mathematics that can be applied?
I just got a Bolt and I noticed that when I finished a workout, the information shown to me at a glance is different whether I recorded the activity using the Wahoo app or the Bolt v3, and I expect them to be the same. Here are screenshots:
Output of activity recorded with Wahoo app. Calories shown
Activity recorded with Bolt. the calories are missing and replaced by elevation instead
I want to see the Calories like they show when recorded via the Wahoo app, instead of having to hunt a tiny bit of text hidden inside the HR section. Is there a way to change this?
This sub's literal description:
"Collection of links and articles about the famous PET, VIC, C64, C128, TED, Amiga and PC Commodore machines."
It's even against the rules not to post about the computers.
I honestly couldn't give a rat's ass about their phone. And the "megathread" doesn't work, I still l see topics related to the phone coming up here.
The first thing I have to say is that it is not an option to keep them all.
So I have the following three turntables:
- Technics SL-D30
- Technics SL-1300
- A/D/S Atelier P2
I can only keep one because space is an issue.
The first one is easy to discard compared to the other two, I like it but it's just really bog standard.
The P2 is an absolutely lovely design piece, museum-worthy even, but what if the original cartridge it has now on goes bad? Replacing it with an alternative or hunting an original would be a problem.
There's not much to fault about the 1300, it's sturdy AF and parts can be found easily, but it's just not as cool looking. More of a workhorse.
I am split between the 1300 and the P2. Which one would you go for?
I GOT THE MESSAGE, why does it keep telling me this EVERY time I close the Wahoo app, now that I got a Bolt? Is there really no way to turn it off? I went through the settings and did not see an option about it.
I really liked this backpack and regret not grabbning one when I saw it in Japan but I really couldn't carry it back at the time. I thought I'd be able to find a similar US counterpart, alas, I seem to fail finding anything that comes remotely close to it, most of them seem to focus on being able to carry a hydration pack.
I really liked the bit of wire that keeps the back of the backpack away from your back, so you don't sweat your back too much.
Any ideas? Besides me going to Japan again to get it (very tempting 😂)
I want to put some decals on my bike that need a cutter and I am not going to buy a Cricut just to do this once.
Any recommended local shops that can make me the right decals for my bike?
I've never quite liked the idea of clipless pedals and I never used them in my life. Although I have rode bikes for most of my life, only now I am considering things like randonneuring and getting more "serious", but I still don't feel like getting a clipless setup.
Am I actually ruining capacity that much not using them? It always felt like it was a bit exaggerated by people focused on speed and racing, but on endurance, they don';t seem (to me) that relevant. Please educate me (nicely, I'm new to randonneuring).
I just turned off my X3 to change the battery, popped the battery off, put the other battery in and when I tried to power it up, it will NOT come on. I tried all the steps, removing the battery, the card, nothing. When I plug the Insta X3 to power without a battery, the light flashes red, but as soon as I press the power button, the light goes off and nothing comes on screen.
I don't know what happened or how to resuscitate this machine and I don't want to be charged who knows what for sending it in without knowing what is wrong with it
"New Commodore" is a trademark owner, nothing more, nothing less. That means they do not develop or in any way build any kind of product, hardware or otherwise. All they can do is license their trademarks to slap them on an already existing product. That is the case with the Ultimate 64 and the disposable chinese piece of junk flip phone they just announced.
I get it that nostalgia is a powerful drug, but this is just crazy, and this guy has done the exact same thing the trademark owners were lambasted for in the early 2000s. I am assuming all of y'all were alive and kicking around in the year 2000 to remember the number of stupid ass products with a "Commodore' brand that were made? Even the WEB64 kind of looks better in comparison to a damn flip phone.
The direction this is taking should be enough to deter anyone from buying any product from them, that includes the 64 Ultimate, but I know you're not going to do it, and you're going to keep getting shoved shitty products you don't want, like the phone, shrouded in a mysterious marketing lingo to make it seem like Commodore creates products, is some sort of factory or even has a research and development arm to it. Because you empower trademark trolls like this with your hard-earned cash.
Supporting this kind of endeavor can only hurt the real C64 scene, that which has been maintained and championed by all the developers and hobbyists that did it since the C64 "died" back then, and who had no need for a youtuber to splice themselves in the middle with their trademark ownership. When the trademark owner starts to get desperate for ROI that they will start hunting down hobbyists due to trademark issues, what's it gonna be?
Reading what most of you thought would be announced today is really weird. Why are most of you so detached from reality?
I am considering chipping my OLED Switch but am not sure if you need to have the unit running a certain firmware in order for the chip to work. Is this a thing or does it not matter?
I would love to ad a MIDI contgroller conencted to each channel's volume and other parameters, but it doens't seem like there's much out there that would work and/or wouldn't cost a fortune like Faderfox's offerings.
Most controllers nowadays seem to be only USB, and I am not sure if having a USB host to MIDI DIN would work satisfactorily.
So what are people using? Is the USB Host-DIN option viable?
Seems like for whatever reason this isn't all available in one place and people have not shared it around, so I decided I'd give it a go and see what happens. Turns out, Osirius is a great tool for this kind of job, and it helped me extract all factory patches that came with the official Access firmware updates downloaded from virus.info.
I didn't sit down to question the content or inspect it in any way, I just extracted the patches found on the update files, exported them in groups of 128 and tested a bunch of them on my Virus TI using Virus Control. I am not sure if Access released different factory patches with different OS revisions, just in case, I labeled each folder with the OS version the patches came from. I doubt this is a complete collection of patches, but it's a start. Maybe someone else can contribute what's missing, and I'll be happy to add it to this folder.
Anyway, get the stuff here, either as an archive of all, or individually:

My seat seems to be OK so far but I wonder if on much longer distances it will be come a problem.
