LittleMe Jewell Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Pretty sure that someone mentioned this already, but I'm just now making my way through Uber and picking up the birthday gifts. Whoever though up the idea of giving a landmark to the main store, where the gift can be retrieved, should be smacked.......... HARD I will only bother going to the store for a creator that I am already familiar with & like their stuff, or a creator new to me, but I like whatever they are displaying at Uber -- and maybe not even then. ETA: And then there is the creators (multiple ones) that don't give an LM to the store, but instead pops up a map to go to the store ---- as if I'm going to pop over to the store right away, before I finish at Uber.

Inquiring minds, etc..... It's the width of the edit/reply box. Sometimes there is a column down the right side, as in this thread, so the edit options are truncated. If I expand the browser, they appear. Other times, there is no right side column and the edit option all appear. Somewhere in between, the options wrap onto the next line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Wow - just picked up a creator gift, which is a shorts outfit, and the notecard inside actually says "To see the colors like we do, use the provided EEP".

Ceka Cianci Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Peeve: Not getting my headphones I ordered for work, until I'm at work tomorrow.. I got the PHILIPS GO A6606 Open-Ear bone conduction ones..

I'll let you know for sure Aftershokz Aeropex owner here - Bone conduction is very useful indeed for listening to music or being on a call and still being able to hear your surroundings. it's not for everyone though as a few may find the sensation .. odd to say the least. Aftershokz rebanded as Shokz and has several different lines of Open <insert second half of name here> headsets, the OpenRun/OpenRun Pro being the 'flagship' for more casual use. Skip the OpenFit. A number of phone media player apps and EQs now ship with settings for their products as well. The DSP system I use as primary on my Linux PC (JamesDSP) also has settings for them. Worth the money if they work for you. ETA: My peeve? Got the Aeropex second hand and with slight frequency damages. Can't really afford to get the newer OpenRun or OpenRun Pro.

I was looking at the shoks that you can swim with plus something about them having storage for music too.. I figured I would get the ones I did for now to test them out.. They weren't too bad of a price at around 100.00 usd.. If they are good enough I'll just stay with them, But if I feel the storage would be nice, I may go that way as well.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah - they could have changed it since I last looked at them but those ones made for swimming actually *use* the stored music as opposed to a BT connection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I think because BT loses connection once you go under the water I guess.. I was seeing a few comments about that happening to people that had the BT ones.. A lot is gonna depend on which is more convenient..

Just brighter or duller, depending on the lighting. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teleporting in and out adds to server lag and wastes time. This was my solution to this problem. I created 2 folders - "Uber gifts 2023" and "Uber LMs". Periodically while I'm going through the event, I use my Recent tab to put actual gift boxes into the first folder and LMs into the second folder. If they just give a map, I ignore that. Once I've gone through the event, I teleport home and start looking through the gifts, making mental notes of what my alts might like. Then I teleport to the stores I might like to look for their gifts, and meanwhile send a copy of this whole LM folder to any of my alts that might want it. The first avatar through an event is sometimes the one who might be most interested in what's likely to be there, or it might be Persephone, because she's the only Premium account and can thus get in faster. The first avatar through scouts out what the others might like, so each successive trip through takes less time. Most packages sit unopened in the event folder for weeks, months or years, of course.

I did make a notecard with the SLURLs for the ones that popped up the map. There was also one that had you TP to the Demo area. I like that gift, but still trying to decide if it is worth the LI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband uses a bone conduction headset for work. He said they work well but he's not really impressed. Best thing to do is go to someplace like Best Buy where you can try before you buy. You can still order from Amazon. The point is to get an idea of if they will work for you without having to spend money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
