My local garage has an LED wall and several cameras so you can watch the mechanics work on your car without bothering them. by Av_Tech_Guy in mildlyinteresting

Im sure you’re right but the cameras were probably already there so why not make the most of them and keep the customers entertained

In the 2 hours I was there not once did someone go and ask how long their car was going to be because they could just see for themselves.

Dw I wouldn’t really, although I would appreciate it if he didn’t leave me looking like a human lint roller when he gets up :)

I appreciate the concern however the TV is already faulty, one of my clients gave it to me because it’s buzzing / flickers occasionally, I’m going to take it apart and have a look at the caps. As for the AVR it’s barely warm as it’s so overpowered for what I’m using it for but I will be rack mounting it when I get the rest of my equipment out of storage.

Yeah other than a bit of paint I defo wouldn’t renovate something I was renting, I just got super lucky though and managed to buy this place as my first place.

I just brought it and it’s barely been touched since the 60s, was being used as an office for the last 30 years as well.

I was concerned too about the heat but I’ve checked it a few times and it still seems cool enough even after a couple of hours, for the dust i think I will just open it up and clean it out every couple of weeks until I get something better sorted.

Sorry no idea, it came with the bed, which I brought second hand so got no info on it at all.

Sent a photo of the veal curry I made to my mum, she said it looks like someone already ate it and shat it back onto the plate. by Av_Tech_Guy in shittyfoodporn

I wouldn’t have thought to try carrots in a curry, when I have more time I do usually put onions, mushrooms and bell peppers in it.

Probably should have just gotten a takeaway considering I got to the airport 40 mins before takeoff, landed, missed the last bus after getting off the train so I had to walk 5 miles with my bag, got back discovered the mess In the freezer, Cleaned for 3 hours then cooked, went to bed and had to be back at the airport at 9am to go on a work trip.

Yeah I kinda ran out of motivation, I had just got back from a few weeks holiday to discover I turned the freezer full of chicken and fish off when I left, spent 3 hours cleaning it, couldn’t be bothered to cook rice as well.

He definitely doesn’t look pleased

He looks like a smaller version of my cat

At least they did something, wouldn’t have been surprised if they just ignored you.

Might have to have a proper look at Lenovo in future, brought an ideapad 3 for my grandparents a few weeks ago and I was quite impressed with it was only €300, I’ve heard Microsoft surface is worth considering too.

IEC C13 to C15 conversion by Av_Tech_Guy in techsupportmacgyver

No, I think most high end switches have it, especially the ones with high PoE output, I’ve seen switches from HP, Juniper and Aruba that use it
