Just got this new watch band for the pinetime and its SOO much comfier than the factory rubber watch band that comes with the pinetime. The watch uses a 20mm standard connector that everyone supports. The band is elastic and doesn’t leave a mark on my arm, and it keeps the watch inplace so it Finally doesn’t go upsidedown when I shake my arm! Got two but going to use the brighter one because it feels right.
No worries on Dev, I know just enough to be dangerous.
We’ve got the older circle scanners and the new cross scanners. I’ve found the circle ones read data matrix and qr better than the cross, and that sucks because my job also involves data matrix. The cross ones can read a barcode from across the room, but are utter dog shit at data matrix. It could be that the vinal they are printed on is causing a glare, but so far the circle can read a barcode better than the cross can read a DM.
And I can 100% confirm the in-and-out thing! I usually go in slow and pull back fast. I’ve also noticed greater success if i cup my hand above the DM as I’m scanning (like I’m trying to shield it from the sun) so I’m almost convinced that the material they are printed on is the problem, and the florescent lights are mucking up the image somehow.
That only happens during stowing, we’ve scanned the items, bagged the items, and now we need to scan it into a location, so our “runners” can grab the right bag for the customer. So far, I’ve made do with an online barcode scanner, but I’d love to have an app where i can setup the locations, and have you be able to select a range of options to generate the barcode.
Example:
`And it would generate some form of machine readable code that showed I’m going to stow this in aisle 500, section D, shelf 2, space 7.
I do apologize for that rambling mess (and hopefully the formatting works on the example), I just got paid, a new thc vape, and an uncontrollable desire to make my job just a little less shit ;)
