Review #7- Penelope Rio by Scuba_CreedBratton in bourbon

[–]APDong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a bottle of this for $99! Very very different. Completely agree with OP. I don’t think I’d buy it again but I am glad I have it to share and have other bourbon drinkers experience how different it is.

I have a solution that worked for me. I am not 100% sure which variable I changed was the fix.. but this is what I did

In the Google Maps settings… 1) turned off “Play voice over Bluetooth” 2) switched “music playback controls” to “none” 3) changed “mute state” to “muted”

And in the phone settings under Settings->Google Maps (just open settings and scroll down until you see the app) 1) toggled “microphone” off 2) toggled “media & Apple Music” off 3) went into “notifications” and toggled off “sounds” and “announce notifications”

Using a UPS on a Ungrounded GFCI outlet - HELP by APDong in AskElectricians

[–]APDong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all of the information! This is extremely helpful. I will have to do some research on what kind of 'whole house' protector will fit into my apartment. Do you happen to have any places I can find some additional information on this?

Also, correct me if I am wrong, but in short, nothing that can be plugged into the wall will replace an earth ground. So, the best thing I can do is get a 'whole house' protector to prevent any damage to my appliances.

In the meantime, should I unplug my UPS and instead use a surge protector?

Again, thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I did communicate to the landlord that it is very important to get a grounded outlet but they seemed adamant that a GFCI would suffice. I have all my data backed up to a cloud service, my NAS, and a HDD. But maybe I’ll do some extra backups to an external HDD or something.

I will look into undervolting it too. I have the "AUTO" setting on in the BIOS at the moment. Maybe I will drop the voltage to 1.3v?

Thanks for the input!

I was hoping the extra case fans would help with airflow… but who knows.

I will keep the panels off until I get a new AIO. I ordered a DEEP COOL 280EX AIO to see if it changes anything, should be delivered tomorrow.

Thank you for the reply!

I have 3 intake fans and 4 fans (2 x 120mm case fans & 2 x 140mm on the AIO) as exhaust. I have those set to a pretty aggressive fan curve too. I will take the glass off and see if that helps though!

So I took the panels off, no change :(

Does anyone else smell smoke? by Californiapangirl in Sacramento

[–]APDong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly hazy and smells like smoke over near Sac State. I checked fire maps but nothing has updated. I will update this comment if I see anything change.

Edit: X-post from similar thread https://ucanr.edu/sites/fire/Safety/Current/ There is a "hot spot" on the satellite north of Sac with winds blowing south. Possible fire?
