possibly due to w2aew's Mrs - I now have another way to write and draw

What is the device? I use a Sony DPT-S1 to write and draw (mainly for work though).

It is called a ReMarkable 2

there are different makes - similar prices - different specs

If I could get full root on it, or replace the OS with one of my own, I'd be excited to get one.

Alas, it looks like they operate similarly to e.g. Allwinner, and consider copyrights to be something they can ignore but others have to respect...  All they admit is that it runs a purpose-built Linux distribution ("Codex"; never heard of it, neither has Distrowatch).

Surprising, considering it is a Norwegian company (Biermanns gate 6, Oslo, Norway).

Snif, snif.  My nose says the way the device is tied to their Cloud Service, is something the company would rather not have publicly known.  Smells like backdoors and bad security, not like "but the EULA says all your artwork belong to us".

you can use it without their cloud service. just have to use an usb cable to transfert to and from the computer.

As mentioned elsewhere, Boox Note Air runs Android so you can install apps from the Play store. Bootloader is unlocked and if you really want to I believe you can get root.

Bonjour a tous:

Here is the   Keysight (ex Agilent/HP) 34465A, 6.5 dig  meter current catalog.

https://www.keysight.com/us/en/products/digital-multimeters-dmm/truevolt-series-multimeters.html

One year old,  slight cabinet dings, no IEE 488 but otherwise in CAL and super condition.
Still  discovering all its capabilities ....Web IP addr interface, data logging and screen capture.
Need to upgrade my CAL standards and Verfs....

Your thoughts?

Bon weekend

Jon

Rebonjour, a few more notes....

1/ LCD display is bright and clear but has a vibration intermittent, goes totally dark sometimes even though unit continues to run and can be controlled by Ethernet.
Perhaps a bad display or front panel PCB?
Just  returned to Keysight for warranty service.

2/Unexpected features: Freq counter, capacitance, Data capture.

3/ Options  activated in latest FW, 2M memory instead of stock 50K.

4/   IEE488 capability with added interface.

5/ Total control and data/screen capture over Ethernet.

6/   7.5 digits c display with slow acq and smoothing, but Vref would need upgrade for accuracy

7/ Checked  all my  lab standards
R (10 Ohm..100 MEG JRL, GR, etc)

Capacitance (GenRad 0.1/0.2/0.4 and 1000 pF)

DV V (, LM399AH, Yokogawa calibrator, HP 6115A)

AC Volts (TEK PG506)

every test is beyond the accuracy of my lab standards or equipment.

Any others here have Keysight TruVolt series 34460/61/65/70A?

Bon Weekend,

Jon

Someone posted a socket tester and I bookmarked it somewhere because they really liked it and, from what I remember, convincingly explained why. Naturally, I couldn't find that but did some due-diligence and this seems to be ok. Tested it out and the non-contact probe seems to work ok. The GCFI latency test seems to work as well. We will see.

Klein has recalled about 1.6M non-contact voltage testers which look like your model:

Thanks much!

I checked out that link. Mine is an NCVT-3P and not the NCVT-1. There are actually other visual differences (you can see if you had in in hand rather than just the product package that I posted - also, mine has a 0121 date code. - again, thanks.

Carbon steel pans came in today from Darto. Free shipping promotion for another few days, saving USD15. Of course the promotion came days after I placed my order...

I'm pleased that they work quite well on my induction hob. It's great to finally have some "beater" pans.

I finally got around to installing my high CRI LED strips, pic attached of a comparison I did for the torch enthusiasts out there. Lighting so good your heart skips a beat.  ^-^

NOS Belzer 2615K pliers. Or should I call these benders? Quite handy and one can have radius desired.

Yes, I like these! :D From evilBay. If you do search belzer 2615k there on sold items you can find the seller and ask if he has more available. He has Belzer tools for sale quite often.

Gosh, that's cheap! But 2 month delivery. I went for the Ebay one which is a couple of days :)

Just noticed that's a bit different too - the external side is flat. It was the combination of internal and external curves that caught my eye originally.

it says 2 months delivery, but (for me at least in France) if you choose aliexpress standard shipping (or combined shipping) it takes less than 15 days to come.

Just picked up a whole bunch of tips for my ADS200/TD-200 I'd been meaning to grab, and some random bits and bobs for my lab from Amazon! I'd say one day I'll be finished with the lab, but I don't think that will ever be the case!
