German packages that are shipped with Deutsche Post, are in The Netherlands shipped by DHL. Oh dear... DHL stand (funny joke) in Dutch for "Duurt Heel Lang" (Takes a long time) ... It happened several times here that a package delivered by DHL, originally sent from Germany, took over 4 weeks to arrive (Germany is close to The Netherlands). We used to refer to DHL as 'Delivery's Hardly Likely' when we lived in Ireland. We were in their Greater Dublin delivery area, but in a different county than Dublin. About 80% of the time, they'd send packages back to the sender (who was almost always in another country) stating that the package hadn't been sent at the correct rate because our address wasn't in Co. Dublin. A simple phone call could have cleared this up, but evidently they felt it was better to go to the expense and inconvenience of sending a package that had cleared customs back to wherever it came from. This was also the company that would give an estimated delivery date, then hold packages at their facility until that date if they arrived earlier. You might think that it would have made more sense to get the packages to the recipients as soon as possible in order to keep up with the volume of stuff they had to handle, but, no. Apparently, because the person at the other end hadn't paid for faster shipping, keeping the package for sometimes a week or more (and risking losing or damaging it) rather than delivering it early was the correct way to handle things. I can't believe that company is still in business, and I still shudder every time I have no choice but to ship with or receive from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 So I guess the first notice from Lotharek was just the label being printed, since today I got an email from FedEx that the package has actually been picked up. Should have it in about a week, give or take a business day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Ultimate 1MB owners, please note: I'll be publishing the SIDE3 U1MB firmware some time this weekend. You'll need to flash this firmware to your U1MB using the instructions I will provide before you'll be able to mount ATRs with SIDE3 (other than via the soft-loaded OS), and launch the SIDE3 loader from the U1MB setup menu (by pressing 'L' as usual). I'll shortly be updating the documentation as well. No U1MB firmware for SIDE3 has been published yet. All that exists are the pre-release drivers used for testing. I will of course provide Lotharek with finalised U1MB firmware ASAP, for those who prefer to order their U1MB pre-flashed for SIDE3. Thanks for your patience!

Mrarkus Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I will definitely need to get one, but was wondering - will there be a new Incognito with same chip and RAM to support SD cards, cart loading and all the yet-to-be-developed cool stuff as well?

Mr Robot Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 A safer way of doing the same thing is putting the can in a slow cooker submerged in water for ~8hours on low, less chance of explosion if the water level gets too low It's the first step in my banoffee pie recipe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
