Sorry for making a similar post so close to the previous one, but this was just too funny to me to not share it :)
I set it to 580x580 (default is 240x320) and the result is ridiculous.
Soma is up in the top left (just in case you are struggling to spot him).
Not my video, but I thought it was neat.
Youtuber DIY Dr.K modded a qwerty keyboard into the RG Rotate. Not really the most practical thing in my opinion, but it is pretty fun to see what people are doing with this device :)
I have a question about IR radiation (specifically FIR).
Does something being in physical contact with an IR (or FIR) source prevent the emission of radiation?
Origin of question
I was asking about some heated gloves on another subreddit, and a commenter stated that the manufacturers claims of the gloves using FIR to help with heat penetration was crap.
https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/comments/1ueapu2/are_avert_20_heated_liners_any_good/
They stated the following.
>I think the far IR thing is crap. There's no radiation inside the gloves because there's no empty space inside the gloves. There's just direct transmission, i.e. physical contact. The third way to transport heat is by convection). Radiation only occurs across empty space.
My response.
>As far as I can tell the IR claim looks totally plausible. Carbon fiber is good at turning electricity into FIR radiation, and the heating elements are carbon fiber, so that tracks.
>You don't actually need empty space for radiation to still be a thing. Any object that is warm will emit some amount of heat as radiation. Conduction and convection are more effective forms of heat transmission, so would likely be more noticable, but the radiation is still there. However I don't know how much of a difference the FIR emission would actually make.
>FIR does penetrate human tissue, and is commonly used in therapeutic settings, but it's effectiveness in this case would really come down to how much energy is being re-emitted as FIR vs just heating up the element.
Their response to my response.
>Yes, FIR does prenetrate if it's radiating, but there's no radiating inside the glove. It's like saying the raisins in a fruit cake could radiate FIR to the pan.
>So no, the radiation isn't there. It's not that it's weaker, it doesn't happen at all. The inisde of the glove is touching her skin. Virtually no radiation.
>Maybe check with a physics sub if you're doubtful.
Me again.
>As far as I understand it (and maybe I'm wrong) but anything with a temp above absolute zero emits some form of radiant heat. Touching it does not stop that.
>So, the raisins would be emitting some amount of radiant heat. I doubt that it would go very far, being surrounded by cake, but it would be there (but again, maybe I'm totally wrong about this).
>I am actually kinda curious what the correct answer to this is. I think I might just go ask on a physics sub.
That brings us to now :)
I'm curious what the correct answer is for this one, so here I am. Hopefully some smart folks here can inform me about how this actually works.
Am I wrong? Are they wrong? Are we both wrong?

I'm helping my Mum try to find some good heated gloves to help with her Raynaud's Syndrome (googling around led me here), and we are looking at the "Avert 2.0 Battery Heated Glove Liners" from Zarkie.
Has anyone here had experience with these?
I'm specifically looking for info on their reliability. We don't want to get something that is just going to fail in a few months.
Feedback from folks who have these would be great. Do they work well? Are they a quality product? Is there another option that would be better in some way?
She wants something that is thin enough to have decent dexterity, allows using a phone without needing to take them off, provides warmth, and is reliable.

I wanted the inner and outer shoulder buttons on the RG Rotate to be easier to tell apart by feel, but I didn't want to use the included bigger ones as I don't like how they stick out.
So I designed some 3D printable ones and I figured I would share them here for anyone who would like to print some of their own :)
I have shared them for free on Tinkercad and Thingiverse.

I little while back I posted a link to a 3D printable case for the RG Rotate, which I designed in Tinkercad.
I have made some updates to it, so I figured I would post to let folks know.
I gave the case a little extra space internally around the lanyard connection point, because the lanyard loop was getting caught when closing the previous version.
I also made the front clasp look a little nicer and added some guides to stop it from wiggling side to side when closed.
Here is the new version.

and a pic of the old front clasp for comparison.

It's quite slim and does not increase the size of the device all that much. I do recommend adding a little bit of padding inside the lid to stop the Rotate moving up and down. The extra space was deliberate, so that the screen is better protected.

It uses 1.75mm filament as pins for the hinges, so no extra hardware is required. Although you may need to drill out the hinge holes a little bit depending on how accurately your printer prints it. Alternatively it should be easy to edit in Tinkercad, so you could just run a slightly wider cylinder through the holes to widen them a bit before printing.

I posted this a couple of days ago, but it seemed to get buried under other posts before many folks saw it (probably due to the time of day I posted it). So I decided to give it another chance. Hopefully it gets seen this time.
-------------------------------------------
I wanted a very slim case for my RG Rotate to protect the screen when it's in a bag, so designed this in Tinkercad and have made it freely available (link at bottom of post).
I have seen the cases on AliExpress, but with the postage cost to Australia they got a bit too pricey. They also seemed just a little chunkier than they really needed to be, so I made this.

It's only a few mm bigger than the Rotate, and has a slot for the lanyard to hang out.
There is a little bit of space above the display so it doesn't touch, but it may be a good idea to glue in some soft padding of some kind in the lid just to be extra safe.
I did not give space for the extended shoulder buttons as I don't have them installed so I wasn't sure of the required measurements, but it should be fairly trivial for anyone to make some adjustments if they want that.
It uses 1.75mm filament as the pins for the hinges. I did need to run a small drill bit into the hinges to get the filament to fit. But that it probably mostly due to my printer not being super accurate.
I also needed to scrape the inside of the front groove for the clip to sit in properly, but again this is most likely due to my printer, rather than the design itself.

This is not my video, but I just found it and figured that some folks here might appreciate it.
I would like Calibre to store what percent of each book I have read, so I followed a guide to get it to do that, but it seems to be behaving strangely.
The values that show up in the "Kobo Percentage Read" column are kinda wacky. For example, one long web-novel that I have opened, but not actually read has a value of 879193, while a short comic that I have actually finished has a value of 540, and a traditional novel that I have also finished shows 9.
Obviously these values are not percentages, and are all over the place.
I'm not sure what I have done wrong, or how to fix it.
If anyone has a link to a guide that shows the proper way to set this up that would be great. But any help would be appreciated.
