On scanning film negatives and dias (slides): Everyone over the age of 40 has a drawer full of these somewhere What do you….
Since scanners get better over time, when do you scan them, and how long do you keep the originals?

[NL] Voedingsmiddelen ontcijferd: blog over wat er in voedingsmiddelen zit
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/30
Voedingsmiddelen ontcijferd laat zien wat er in voedingsmiddelen zit, en classificeert zowel de componenten het totaal resultaat in drie groepen:
- Veilig
- Verdacht
- Onveilig
- Onbekend
Daarnaast voegt het soms een opmerking toe (zoals gemodificeerd).
De blog is vrij strict (bijvoorbeeld E251 – natriumnitraat – wordt als onveilig beschouwd), uit het oogpunt “beter voorkomen dan genezen”.
Gezien het grote aantal voedingsmiddelen dat al uitgezocht is kom je toch op een behoorlijke lijst met veilige middelen uit.
Een interessante blog als je meer over je voedsel wil weten.

LG Nexus 4 Screen Repair & Disassemble – YouTube
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/19
I needed to perform a LG Nexus 4 Screen Repair & Disassemble – YouTube.
Thanks FixEz.
Tools needed – see also the PDF Nexus 4 Disassembly Guide or Nexus 4 Motherboard Replacement – iFixit.:
- TTT-9004: SKU# 5-0013 Torx 5 screwdriver
- TTT-9007: SKU# 5-0016 Small Philips screwdriver
- TTT-9010: SKU# 5-0010 Plastic opening tools or SKU# 5-0007 Plastic Triangle Opening Tool
- TTT-9013: SKU# 5-0222 Spudger
- TTT-0921: SKU# 5-1370 Fine Tip Curved Tweezers
- Bow dryer or heat gun
Note that something SKU# 5-0721: 16-piece repair toolkit is a good start on this: it contains all but the blow dryer or heat gun.

Books. Lots of books. In PDF.
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/12
Interesting: site:www.e-reading.link/bookreader.php – Google Search.
Likely highly illegal, but it has a lot of things in PDF that I already have on paper of stuff that is hard to get otherwise.

Are these universal for any ceiling fan/light? (the IR receivers of our BULLIT one broke) – via: Home Theater Discussions And Reviews
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/22
Bullit ceiling fan with light.
We have two “Bullit” ceiling fans with built-in dimmable lights. Both of them started to malfunction after about 10 years of usage, about a year apart.
They are really nice, both in looks and build quality (heavy duty electric motor, cast aluminium block, screws nicely hidden away).
So this weekend, I took the canopy apart and found out that the receiver device that processes the infra-red signal has broken: it does not pass on the incoming current to either the light or the fan engine.
That receiver part looks like this (handheld is on the right):
- bottom: 3 incoming wires (Phase, Earth, Neutral),
- top: 3 outgoing wires (Phase Fan, Phase Light, Neutral),
- connector for IR sensor
- Connector to wire Earth to aluminium body
Handheld infra-red transmitter (required 9-volt battery).
Bullit ceiling fan/light infra red receiver.
I came across a Westinghouse GS–26-78095-WH08 model. The image is below
Is that a universal replacement for many ceiling fan/light devices?

Dropbox adds u2f support … if you connect to it via Chrome. Using FIDO U2F. Easy with Plug-Up foldable key.
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/21
I like this: the plug-up affordable FIDO U2F Security Key by HAPPLINK.
You could already use it for Google 2nd factor authentication (2FA) through Chrome. You can do this from your own applications for instance through the U2F reference implementation.
Now you can also as 2FA to DropBox, also through Chrome. And it is easy with the plug-up key (Thanks Kristian):
Uuuund… umgestellt. Das war ja einfach.

Es gibt andere Fido Token, die können mehr. Ich nehme dieses, das kostet fast nix und man kann die kaufen und verteilen wie Konfetti.
Or inside the Europe mainland, for instance in:
