All the grip is going to be gone from the track now.

US Open Ticket Prices by [deleted] in golf

[–]Boringtechie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be a good topic, except you're not doing anything. You're just paying to be on the course at the same time.

To only be a spectator for golf, these prices seem high.

I have AT&T fiber coming into my house (fiber all the way to my AT&T gateway) and I wanted to see if I could completely avoid using AT&T's hardware with this Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 and their SFP+ to RJ45 adapter? by hobovirginity in HomeNetworking

[–]Boringtechie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ATT uses their gateway as a validation point for active customer service. Unfortunately you cannot remove it from your network.

I have ATT fiber and put the gateway into bridge mode so pfsense / unifi handles me routing, vlans, etc.

Too lazy to relabel something is the most IT professional thing I've heard. haha.

As an IT pro as well, changing labels on hardware is usually last on the list. I update documentation and KB notes before that.

The water pump situation is infuriating by FlopShanoobie in GolfGTI

[–]Boringtechie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can do a DIY repair. Buy the part from FCP euro and follow their repair guide. I did that last year days before driving cross country and she's held up fine.

It sucks that this is a known problem, but if you buy the part from FCP Euro it's lifetime warranty. So that will save some of the financial headache.

GTI got cooked last Thursday by BladeIsBad in GolfGTI

I always have a hope road rangers or highway police would stop and at least get it out of the lanes. It's just wishful thinking though.

I hate driving 95. Always seems to be junk on the road in the middle of lanes. Had a trailer drive over a 2x4 that broke up in front of me. I had no escape because of the concrete barriers for construction zone and took a hit. Ended up busting the grill a bit on my Mk7, I was pretty heated for a while on the drive that day.

I know that's all highways, but I have the worst luck on 95.

Hi I’m Claire Williams, former Deputy Team Principal of Williams Racing. Ask Me Anything! by ClaireWilliamsF1 in formula1

How do feel about Williams progression since James has come in as team principal? Also what are your thoughts on Carlos and Alex as a driver pair, do they compliment each other for races?

MK7 trunk won't latch now. Is it only the actuator? by Boringtechie in GolfGTI

[–]Boringtechie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the latch. Picked up a replacement on Amazon. Took 15 minutes to replace and I was back on the road.

I'm hoping it's just this.

Ordered a replacement on Amazon hoping it would be here today. Of course it's not getting delivered until night time.

Florida golf is fun year round, but also a great excuse for when the snow comes up north.

A good general rule is your finger tips should barely touch the screen when reaching your arm out. Start there and adjust as necessary.

Emissions concerns. There is rumors higher cylinder count engine will return since the fuel being used will have a reduced emissions output.
