Hey!

I was looking through my grandmothers barn and found some fun wooden stuff that I'd like to restore.

I also found some old planers (?) that I thought could still be useful/fun to have.

Anyway, if you have any suggestions/ideas on how to restore these Barrel 1,Barrel 2. Butter-making-thing while keeping their old-look I'd love to hear them! Otherwise you might just like to see old stuff.

btw. The old planks in the second-last photo - is there anything to gain from using old wood?

also, last picture - just mildly interesting how the house is half wood

I have a ASUS Gamepad that works ok, the event device that is registered works fine - except some buttons seems to be reported as keyboard buttons leading to confusion in apps that use the gamepad [the keys reported as keyboard buttons are "dead"] and the js0 device lack the buttons.

Would it be easy to make a minimal hid kernel driver that translates the returned key? (Or adds the non-reported keys to the js0 device)

Is there any other solution that could be used?

So, I have a Moto G (Gen 1 LTE) with original firmware and today when I picked up my phone from my pocket it was dead. Battery wasn't drained as I had 61% ten mintues before. Anyway, no reaction when holding the power button or removing sim cards etc.

Connected it to my computer and the computer seemed to notice it - although adb didn't work nor fastboot. Reading some online made me hold the power button for 120sec and poof fastboot found the device.

I tried booting into bootloader, but the screen was still black - although now backlit.

Anyway, thats where I am now. Phone connected by usb and can use fastboot but nothing visible on display. I don't think the screen has been damaged as it

Hello! We are currently visiting KL and realized that we will be in Malaysia during Chinese new year, which apparently will draw huge crowds and make hotels expensive.

Our original plan was to make a quick visit to Singapore until the 2nd feb, and then go to Borneo [Kuching] - But apparently CNY is a big thing in Kuching.

Is there anywhere close to kuching that won't close down completely during CNY and may have hotels for a reasonable price available? Is the Indonesian side of Borneo less crowded during CNY?

Thanks for your help!

Sometimes we stumble upon papers that are especially fun to read. Either because they are well written, tackles a problem from a new perspective or simply solves a problem beautifully.

Do you have any such papers? Share them!

I recently found "Chaffing and Winnowing: Confidentiality without Encryption" by Ronald L. Rivest ( https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/Chaffing.txt ) That I think fits this category

Expecting to get lots of fun/interesting reading from you people!

Hey, we are currently in yogyakarta and had planned to go to Jakarta for about four days and then fly to Borneo, but now we don't feel like staying in Jakarta that long. Is there some nice place to visit for a couple of days in between the cities?

We will still fly from Jakarta but will arrive the day before the flight. - Minimising our time in Jakarta.

I know its probably the safest time to visit Jakarta, but I'm having trouble convincing my wife of this.

Hey, actually not sailing but my googling led me to believe that sailors sometimes have to wash in salt water.

Do you know if there is a trick to avoid the sticky feeling on your skin after taking a salt water shower?

Thanks!

Hey!

Sorry, this is about Gili islands, I figured many here may have visitied one of them.

Anyway, the water in my hotel is salinated / salt water and after the shower my skin feels very sticky. Does anyone know a way to get rid of this sticky feeling?

Thanks!

IPhone 4S dropped in water, currently drying in rice.

If the phone does not start after drying, what can be done to recover data such as pictures?

Some programs claim to be able to help, my initial guess is that all are hoaxes - or can they access some low level communication with the phone?

I am having trouble finding any advanced techniques of extracting data ( eg open up, connect to serial port ) - are there no known ways? ( searching on my other phone with bad internet connection limits my goigle-fu)

I have a buspirate at home but can buy other devices if necessary.

Thanks!

Hey! Is there a tool that can be used to test possible ways to poke through a firewall. Eg install it on a server with direct internet access and the client can then test what methods it can use to reach the server. Eg DNS queries, ICMP request, http requests with special headers etc.

If you don't know of a tool, maybe you can add some methods that could be tried if someone (or I) decides to develop a tool.

Hey! I am in Shanghai on a trip and lost my charger. I need to get a new one asap but have trouble finding information on yahoo in my cellphone ( China censurs Google...)

I think I need the ADP45-AW charger (?), I can only find it online at eBay for around 20$ which seems cheap for a laptop charger, but I couldn't find it on Asus official site as it redirects me to the Chinese version...

Could somebody with real internet verify this for me? Also, if anyone has knowledge of where I can find it in Shanghai that would be awesome! ( I was not able to find any genuine Asus store on yahoo)

Also, are there copies of this item floating around, and how can one distinguish a copy from a genuine dev

Hey!

I asked this question to a couple of vaccination clinics in my country and I got two different answers. So I am comming here to try to get some understanding.

I am male, 28 yo, and in good health.

I took my first dose of Ixiaro in 2012 , but I never took the required second dose. Now I need to get vaccinated again, and my question is: Do I need to restart the vaccination and take two doses approx 1 month apart, or can I continue what I started in 2012 and take a single dose?

The replies I have gotten (from registered doctors in my country) is either "since you didn't complete your first vaccination within 11 months you have to restart" or "Because of the first dose you have immu

I want to have a couple of leds powered by the 3.3v output. I want to have a on/off switch on the cable, and I want to know when the leds are on and off.

I have two problems.

The leds cannot be connected 3.3v - GPIO as the gpio in does not allow enough ampere to let them shine bright. If I connect 3.3v - (GPIO & GND) then I cant identify if the switch is flipped or not.

The second problem - If I ignore that the lights are dim - when having the switch on i get a clear on signal, but when I have the switch off - I guess the cable works as an antenna and rapidly switches between on/off on the rpi.

I would really like a solution where I get bright shining leds and I didn't have to get
