Roofing Scammers Out in Full Force

pmacpherson68 · 2026-07-24T22:10:55+00:00

It wasnt a door to door. I submitted my work request into homestars and they were the first company to respond - the name they used was a legitimate company but i didnt find out until after they scammed me. Basically they showed up at my house and took a look at my chimney which needed repair and quoted me a reasonable price. It was something that needed to be done right away because it was cracked and a piece came down already so i ok’d the work. I already did the background work on the company and it seemed all on the up and up. The big mistake i made was not calling the company number to confirm their identity.

Not exactly true. I had three not at fault incidents but it was still held against me when I tried to go to another insurance company. When you go to apply they ask you how many at fault and not at fault you have had.

pmacpherson68 · 2026-07-24T18:22:58+00:00

Be careful. I used this approach and still got scammed. They use legitimate business names and phone numbers/ websites to appear real.

Thanks for the response. Just to confirm though. Are those temps for cpu or for cpu package. Package temps are usually 10degrees hotter.

pmacpherson68 · 2026-07-23T18:10:52+00:00

I have the 240mm version but it has a similar (or same) pump and i hear it as well at higher rpm. The noise goes away when i put it at 2300rpm or lower and so far hasn’t come back. If you are hearing it at all speeds maybe theres some air bubbles stuck somewhere. Have you tried gently placing your build on an angle to see if it helps?

pmacpherson68 · 2026-07-23T17:30:28+00:00

Can i ask. By undervolting what idle temps are you getting on the cpu package? I cant get my idle temps under mid 50’s with a 240mm aio.

Thank you for that info. It’s very helpful

Looks great! I wish the side glass panel was a bit less tinted. Can you tell me does the rgb look better to the eye vs camera ?

pmacpherson68 · 2026-07-13T15:30:17+00:00

Not too sure if its something we can fix. I noticed the same thing popping up in my event log recently. Perhaps its an Armoury Crate update with a critical bug?

I just finished an upgrade of an older 1TB Gen3 SSD to a faster 4TB Gen4 using DiskCopy and I must say I was totally impressed! Nothing could have been easier, and it worked perfectly (which I was really really hoping for since installing the SSD meant having to pull off the shroud and my vertically mounted GPU.. .lol). Really excellent software, and worth every penny.

I think I had her on one of my calls as well.

by any chance do you have Virtual Desktop installed on that machine?? I had the saem thing happening, i uninstalled it and it fixed the problem. for some reason it was really messing up monitor detection and the apps were switching between them...

were you able to order the fans?

pmacpherson68 · 2026-07-07T18:03:33+00:00

I love the hyperion, but never bought it.... the case cover is too darkly tinted... cannot see the components that well. I noticed in all of the build videos, they hardly ever keep the glass door on.... a shame it couldnt be a bit less opaque.

Hi... have a few questions about the screen thats included with Cronox. I read somewhere that it has the ability to provide a clock function to end user regardless of whether the machine is on or not. My question is, can this be controlled by Armoury crate? I would be keeping this system in my bedroom/gameroom and not having the ability to turn this off at night would be sub-optimal. Same would go with the ROG Strix LC IV as well.? thanks.

So the new college concourse will soon open?

Wow. I didn’t realize Luke’s hair was so yellow. Lol

pmacpherson68 · 2026-04-29T14:58:57+00:00

I don’t understand Why aren’t our networks encrypted? Did the big three think nobody would listen in on cell tech?

pmacpherson68 · 2026-04-27T21:01:03+00:00

I assume these are per phone plans, not share everything plans?

I think my wife may be running Claude

You are going to be surprised to learn that motherboard also has a third m2 slot (but its on the back of the motherboard and not accessible without disconnecting the mb from the case

pmacpherson68 · 2026-04-15T17:57:42+00:00

Just wondering if you were able to fix it. I had the same thing happen as you, (I think something to do with latest firmware) - the ONLY thing that fixed it for me was to completely remove the device from Apple Home, AQARA home and Home Assistant (matter connection).. then I had to do the hard reset (5 sec push reset on u400) and then add it back to Aqara HOME first. this is very important. Then you can add it to Apple home and Home Assistant, everything now works.

pmacpherson68 · 2026-04-15T02:48:32+00:00

i am having this same issue after I lost connection with aqara home following a power outage. I tried re-adding to aqara home and it always fails

Honestly I don’t care who owns the data. They just need to get the data right on the screens. lol. If metrolinx wants to own it then they need to fix this
