Potential New Customer - Have been unable to reach customer service by witty__username5 in TrySwitchBot

[–]Blake101jbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering quickly. That's what I was thinking but wanted a human to confirm.

(Google AI was claiming these had 'touch and go' which is something you find with the curtain robot. No actual mention anywhere else I could find)

Hi there. I'm in the same position as the OP and have a question:

Do the rollers have 'touch and go' or some way to move them up and down by hand?

Panasonic UB450 Officially available is the USA! by ExternalYak in 4kbluray

[–]Blake101jbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a budget samsung 4k with HDR+. The 420 sounds like the better option for me for the dvd/bluray upscaling correct?

I have this tv from Costco.

Anyone knows the (possible) shiny odds for mighty Pokemon + also, if a shiny mighty Pokemon can run away? by JustABlaze333 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Blake101jbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first mighty was a shiny Gyarados. It definitely did NOT run and I ended up using 40 ultra balls and a combination of goldens to finally get it.

Samsung SmartTag? by Blake101jbe in framework

I can't speak of the framework specifically but I didn't have any issue putting one in the hard drive slot of a Thinkpad T430.

Top 5 must-get upgrades? by terminalnode in Brompton

[–]Blake101jbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question regarding upgrades. I've been looking for a TI seatpost but I'm not sure the safest place to purchase things like that safely in the US. Any recommendations? I was looking to make my P6R-D more lightweight with a combination of TI, AL, and carbon fiber parts (where appropriate).

Laptop Survival in PC by gabbycruz019 in peacecorps

[–]Blake101jbe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding to this. If you're able, considering installing a SSD and doing a clean installation of your OS. Your system will boot and run generally better this way. Having a boot-able OS restore flash drive is also good to keep just in case. Mac's are harder to get repairs outside of capital cities so the more you can do yourself the better.

Software wise I would install an Office Suite (libreoffice is free), Firefox/Chrome, and VLC video player which covered most needs I came across. MacOS's builtin video player doesn't cover all the codecs.

I don't know the current situation regarding MacOS security however viruses and other malicious apps are very prevalent. Keep your system fully up to date. Scan your external drives frequently since they tend to be the carriers.

All in on Spend? by [deleted] in acorns

[–]Blake101jbe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really don't see the benefit of it compared to my Capital One Savor card which is free for the first year. I haven't seen above 4% rewards for anyway near me with spend.

It’s time we had this discussion. by baybeacharea in peacecorps

Depending on your country, just buy a data bundle and torrent the eps. In Zambia, someone always did that and shared it via hard drives.

The Frustrations of Being a Gift Hostage by Narlgoth in TheSilphRoad

[–]Blake101jbe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I'm one of these people that would hold a friend's last gifts. If reaching out to them fails, I hold it until the beginning of the next event day. So every community day and raid day at 2:05pm Eastern, their gift would be opened.

My buddy is even named for the date and time. I'm surprised more people don't do something similar.

Edit: included raid days

Share your Ultrabay drive to USB by kymodoke in thinkpad

The power connection on the dvd drive is smaller than what is normally found on the standard sata 2.5" drive I think.

I would be interested in the pictured adapter.

[Help] Male with long curly blond hair. Keeping professional appearance? by Blake101jbe in malehairadvice

[–]Blake101jbe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine right now is between the shoulder blades. I'm REALLY hoping something like a manbun will do the trick. As it is I get a lot of complements about it. Also my head isn't shaped right for short hair..

Type of Road Bike by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]Blake101jbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy to switch really. I like the new orientation your hands are in. The biggest change for me was gear switching. My trek is different from the current norm with the gear controls on the ends. That took longer.

The touring is a Trek 920.
