u/Rust_Cohle-

I’ve had the bloods taken today and started doxy 100mg x2 daily.

Ive had the chronic fatigue for sometime now and it’s nothing like I’ve ever had in my entire life, and I’ve worked double shifts, done manual labour for hours and hours on end with no sleep and still felt better than I do now.

I struggle to get up after being in bed from 12-16 hours. Most days, I fight to get up, Make a coffee, walk to my desk, stare at the screen a few minutes and go back to bed for another 6 hours or more, sometimes until the next day.

All of my big muscle groups ache, my knee joints feel swollen and are extremely painful upon waking, the same with my hips.

Part of it being that bad is to do with my post title. I have spells where my arms and legs (mostly legs) are so weak and I have horrible nerve pain in my femoral nerves when lifting my legs and pains down the outside is my shin bones when walking. For example, if I am sitting I cannot lift my leg to cross the other (bi lateral) problem nor can I do something usually simple like stand without using arms and a wide stance to get up. Even the finer controls like crossing my big toe over the one next to it is impossible.

The nerve issue isn’t everyday but it starts one morning and can last 2/3 days whilst it slowly gets better.

For context, I’m 41, male, 200 ish lbs and generally considered one of those who “doesn’t know his own strength” when doing manual tasks previously that seemed easy but apparently aren’t to many others.

I honestly feel like a shell of what I was.

I read Lyme can impact nerves but I mostly read it was facial, so I’m not sure if it’s related or I potentially have another problem to look in to again. Never conduction studies were done, but were done on a day my legs and nerves were fine. I’ve had bloods taken today and I’m in the middle of the nerve issue so maybe they’ll show something.

The arm nerve issue is just extreme weakness and loss of dexterity, eg holding a cup of coffee is really possible due to my wrist only drooping so far and not down to my own muscle.

I’m wondering if this is consistent with anyone else’s experience?

I’m 41 and life is a struggle, like a real struggle. My elderly mother is generally more active and probably stronger than me at this point!

Hello all,

Just a quick question really - anyone know if there's an alternative app for nextbase dash cams on the PC to view videos/telemetry, etc or are we stuck with theirs?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I've not long really got into the old DIY bug, but I have been 'collecting' tools like I have some sort of addiction for a while now. Keep this in mind because some of my ideas are likely to be:

1. Awful.
2. Even more awful.
3. Plain stupid.
4. Somehow worse than the above.

I have decided to replace the old boxing under my sink that leads to the stack. The current dimensions of the boxing are:

Ignore the trap: it's above where the boxing went before, and it was a sort of mini-shelf which was kinda useful.

Previous boxing dimensions/method:
680mm width
420mm height
150mm depth

Clearance from backs of the pipes to the wall:
PVC: 25mm
Copper: 10mm

Piping size diameters approx:
PVC: 37mm
Copper: 15mm

Things I didn't like about the previous approach:
It looks as if the previous person cut slots (not with a circular router bit, I mean square cuts, probably with a multi tool) for the PVC and copper tubing and then just filled in the gap left behind the pipes (clearances above) with a huge amount of caulk/silicone) which are quite sizable areas as you can imagine!

What would be the best way to deal with this? I can measure it all up, and even remove the tubing, but if the top ever needed to come off, it would be quite annoying.

Do I cut the circular holes to match the pipe positions and then cut down the length of the board to make two parts (the holes should work okay for this, as there's some overlap, even if they're not exactly in line, they will still be split to some extent.

Slide the pack piece in and then the front piece in and join them with a small joining/mending plate at each end?

Or do I follow a similar idea as to the previous person but cut circular holes where the pipes go and then cut out the pieces from behind and add/remove them as necessary when removing the top?

---

For the large front panel and the smaller side panel (I'm using some small flush mounts for things like mirrors, pictures, etc?) The idea being I can lift both of these off and the top panel stays in place on the frame I'd built and would only be removed if necessary.

I hope this makes sense, if there's a more sensible way to approach this, especially the top panel part, I'm all ears.

Like I say, I'm new, this probably sounds stupid, but I'd like to try and make it look at least half decent.

I have the old cut outs as templates, but honestly I don't even think they're square so I'll likely re-do them anyway as all I've built at this point is the base for the panels to sit on/attach to.

Thanks for any help.

Apologies for spelling mistakes and words that are out of place. I’m currently having investigations into issues with blurry eyes and it makes writing long text super frustrating and difficult 😔.

I gave away my old iPhone and most up to date one I have left is the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a lightning port whilst I wait on insurance to check and send me a new phone with the USB C connection the glasses need

I didn’t get a lot of time to test them out. Given that my old phone is the lightning connection, is there a relatively cheap cable or combination of in order to get them working on my phone again?

I’m starting to feel like the more I look at the Luma Ultras the more it feels more and more like the Apple playbook of needing expensive accessories to get full compatibility or essential features working on your various devices.

The kids also still have non usb c iPhones so it would be nice if they could also use them.

I’d settle for just being a law to watch movies in bed with no DOF until my insurance replacement comes back.

Appreciate any input on this, would prefer to keep
Costa down given it’s a temporary solution and I already feel like
I’m starting to get nickel and dimed over accessories and adapters to just achieve the basic (yet advertised) functionality.

This is the end of my question, and it’s now turning more into the parts that are starting to bug me, so please stop here if you would rather not want to read my mini rant.

I like the product but I’ve had to pay an extra £30 for the DP//USB cable to USB C for full pc compatibility.

It sounds like I’m going to need a mobile dock for
Handheld gaming.

A neckband for hand gestures.

A new XR adapter for XDOF on my iPhone 17 as the bundled adapter doesn’t even work, despite still being sold as a bundle
For iPhones and getting the functionality of xDOF.

I do love the idea, but the misleading advertising and serious lack of turnkey functionality, combined with the price tag and additional cost of accessories is wearing me down a bit.

Anyone else feel at least a bit like this or am I still salty over breaking my iPhone the day after II got the Luma ultras? 🤦‍♂️

Thanks everyone.

So, I have the Luma Ultras, I've had them a few days and I'm a little conflicted.

I'd like to use them with my iPhone 17 when travelling, the idea of not taking laptops, etc with me was nice, but with no DOF, etc I'm not so keen.

• Does anyone on here use for production? E.g programming, web design, that sort of thing when travelling, or even when at home?
• For those using an iPhone 17 - how do you feel about the current limitations and adapter not doing anything for us at all? I was extremely angry to find that the adapter they sell as a bundle doesn't even work with the iPhone 17, and if you email support all you get is AI responses that say they'll add you to the "list" for a 'discounted' one. I guess we currently don't benefit from (x)DOF using an iPhone at the moment, unless I've missed something?
• I purchased an extra cable and connected to my PC, but because the screen is 32:9 you have to look around with the glasses like you're looking at a 100 foot screen, so it's a no-go on the PC for me, but the Macbook seemed okay.
• Connecting via my iPad Pro 13 inch (M4) - obviously the XR adapter doesn't work and Moonlight streaming is limited to 60hz/FPS with no way to override this, no DOF
• Are too many features locked into the neckband? It's not something I'd really want to pay out for, or really wear to be perfectly honest.

I think the only device that gave me any form of degree of freedom was my Macbook Pro (M4), which made me feel like it was very expensive, when I can get a very similar output from something half their price (with no DOF).

Does anyone really use them as day-to-day sunglasses? No hate, but I don't think I would be comfortable doing so, especially when driving with the lenses still in your field of view and also how far the glasses actually sit from your face.

I'm on the verge of returning them with the AI support email, no human interaction with support and the fact I've paid for an adapter I cannot use in a bundle which is VERY misleading and I find it very disingenuous, and it feels a little like a cash grab, which makes me worry if we'll even see a new version of the adapter at all.

New user so seeing what they can do.

I cannot change the refresh rate within the app on the Ultras, but other devices I have can connect to my PC and use 120hz.

Is this another limitation?

EDIT:

Trying Moonlight from my iphone 17 pro with the XR adapter connected gives me the prompt to... buy the XR adapter when I try and change the setting to 120hz.

Trying from my ipad does nothing when I click the 120hz option.

iPhone:

1. Can they be used with the iPhone 17 with (x)DOF?. On my phone the screen seems to be pinned in front of my face and I can't see any options to create setups that span more than one screen in spacewalker?

2. I've also noticed in spacewalker that the bottom dock of the screen is slightly off-screen for me and I don't see an obvious way to fix this?

3. Does the XR charger even work with the iPhone 17 as it stands? I saw they sell it on the site as a bundle with the glasses, but connecting it does nothing at all, so much so that the glasses think the adapter isn't even connected.

4. Can the iPhone connect to your desktop PC via a virtual desktop setup or are we limited to just what is inside the spacewalker app?

-----

MacOS:

Is there a way to disable (I guess you'd call roll in a flight sim)? When I'm sat at a desk I don't really want the screen to be able to tilt so it's doing this / or \ at any sort of level. I saw an option to limit how much it does it but I'd much prefer to have 3 screens that I can just look left & right on.

-----

Desktop PC:

I'm waiting on another cable before I can test this out. Stupidly thought this PC had the alt mode on DP, but it was my previous build that did.. oops!

-----

General:

1. Is there a way with xDOF enabled that it can automatically dim the glasses so you can see real world stuff in the case that you got up and left your desk, for example?

-----

I like the idea, but I'm just not sure if it's the implementation by Viture that is bugging me or something else.

Appreciate any input on this as it's a fair chunk of change to be spending and not be entirely happy.

Hello everyone,

I bit the bullet and forked out the £700 for the LR4 about a week ago. I have three cats, and previously subscribed to “fit litter” which cost about £45 a month for 3 bags.

So far, so good, but I’d be interested to know which litter you all use (ideally something you can get from Tesco or Sainsburys) and what it costs you in litter on a monthly basis (roughly) as well as how many bags of said litter you do use?

Fit litter was great, but it’s not really ideal for the LR4 as it’s not clumping, and I would love to bring my monthly litter cost down, as this was the whole point of buying this machine, as well as making life a little easier overall!

As the title says really, looking for people kind enough to share some of their scans that were made on their Otter to try and work out if I am doing something wrong, or the results I'm getting are just the average run of the mill for that hardware.

Thanks

Hey all,

I've had the CR Scan-Otter for a few months now and honestly it's been super underwhelming and I'm wondering if part of it is down to the CrealityScan software? I've seen some posts online in various places that suggest avoiding CS4 at all costs, but which version of 3 should I be downloading?
