Best practice for city drive battery usage?

Hi, I stumbled upon this video. What is a best practice to maximise the battery lifetime if the driving style is mostly home, work, shops and few activities, without long trips.

Should I keep the levels at 20-80% and charge only at approaching 20%, or it is better to do more “micro charging”, by keeping range at e.g. 30-50%?

iOS mail app is quite slow

Hi, I noticed that the iOS app becomes quite slow - every time I open the app it looks like the app start to download everything again from the scratch, without any caching. Or maybe it just started to be very visible when I’m now with a slow mobile network. Is this a normal behaviour of the app?

Brightness keys show the on-screen slider but brightness doesn't actually change (Lenovo Yoga 710-14IKB)

Hi, the brightness control on my Lenovo Yoga 710-14IKB stopped working recently. Pressing the Fn brightness keys still brings up the on-screen brightness bar and the bar moves, but the actual screen brightness doesn't change at all. It worked fine until a little while ago. Do you have any ideas what to check next?

The Yoga is running Linux Mint OS

Tuta Drive as Joplin sync server?

Hi u/tutanota, I just had an idea (though I’m not sure if it’s feasible): what if the upcoming Tuta Drive could serve as the Joplin sync server? I think this would be a killer feature, allowing Joplin to meet all your note-keeping needs across Tuta-equipped devices

Help with my first project?

Hi everyone,

I finally designed my first project. The project is probably still quite messy — for example, I have some extra sketches that I can’t seem to delete for some reason.

I also have a question. I’d like to extend one part of the design from 20 mm to 25 mm and 30 mm (and create corresponding STL files), but at the moment it feels like it would be easier to rebuild the project from scratch rather than modify the existing one.

Would someone with more experience be willing to help me tidy up the project? I can share the iCloud link to the project file via private message. I’d also appreciate it if someone could show me how to adjust the 20 mm distance to 25 mm and 30 mm (shown by the arrows in the screenshot):

How to put rectangle horizontally symmetrically?

Hi Community,

I’ve run into a small parametric-design problem and could use some advice.

I want to place a rectangle with a fixed size of 52 × 5.5 mm on top of this body. The rectangle should stay aligned to the bottom edge (as shown in the screenshot), but it also needs to remain centered horizontally/symmetrical relative to the body.

What would be the best way to constrain or parameterize the horizontal offset so the rectangle always stays centered, even if the body dimensions change?

Hi everyone!

With the white nights approaching here in Finland, I’m wondering how useful the S50 will be over the summer months. Apart from solar imaging, are there still any worthwhile targets to capture?

Maybe bright nebulae, the Moon, planets, satellites, landscapes, or anything else that works despite the short and bright nights? I’d love to hear what people in northern latitudes do with their S50 during summer.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to build a simple sensor setup for a backyard gate to detect whether it’s open or closed. I’m considering using the XIAO nRF52840 in a SENSOR role.

Does anyone have experience with a similar setup? I’m thinking about sending the status updates to a dedicated private channel—would appreciate any insights or suggestions on the best approach.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here made a full switch from cloud services like iCloud or Google Drive to a local NAS-based setup for notes by using Joplin + Joplin Server?

I’m considering moving everything over, but I’m a bit concerned about reliability - especially when it comes to long-term note storage. Is Joplin stable enough for this kind of use?

Also, what backup strategies are you using alongside it to make sure your data is safe and give you some peace of mind?

Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences.
