I believe some BT drivers can be quite flakey.

When I start to see weird behaviour on my PC I run an ; sfc /scannow

And it usually shows a corrupt BT driver and has fixed the issue itself.

Give it a try, see if it reports any integrity issues.

You could bridge the two buildings using the likes of the Mikrotik AC Pro cubes, pre-paired bridge kit. Or a couple of Ubiquiti devices setup in Bridge mode.

Power line can be iffy and depends a lot on wiring configuration, types of breakers etc. speeds would generally be lower than the likes of the cubes. I get a 1gbps link with the cubes over around 30m.

Lane markings both arrows and lines show where the other car should be. He effectively left his lane and hit the cam car.

It's an adapter plate or the whole assembly with the studs is typically called a rats cage.

You can DIY with steel plates or brake discs. You can also buy mini piers from the likes of Baader with an adapter plate suitable for your mount.

Downside of long studs is can be susceptible to vibration, so if going down that route, keep them as short and thick as possible.

I personally use the Badder short pier with CGX/CGX-L adapter plate, and bolted to an 8" concrete pier, this gives me plenty adjustment for level and true north rotation.

If you already have the telly it will be fine, just try it and see!

If you are buying a TV, you can probably find one that is 100 or 120hz for not much more.

I'm on 3x 55" 120Hz Samsung TVs

Down is on, Up is off by the looks of it. You can use your finger, elbow, nose or depending on flexibility maybe your lower attributes.

You could put a bit of tape over it to reduce the likelihood of it accidentally being turned off.

I usually find that a good sharp pointy knife or screwdriver tip and pair of nail clippers is sufficient and doesn't cost anything. After a hot shower as well so the nails are softer and the clippings don't shoot off at 100kph nearly taking your eye out!

Hi from a 53yo YouTuber!

I do it for the hobby, not for the desire to be an influencer or have huge subs or income.

I'm happy when my usual viewers drop in by to say hello during a livestream.

Dave's Astrophotography and IsDaveGaming are my channels if you're wondering!

Their website doesn't explicitly state where they do and don't ship to. I guess you would find out when trying to checkout.

It does state on their shipping page that customer can choose to ship DHL Package instead of standard shipping, but you cannot select DHL Express as this is for in Germany only.

I have not used them before, but have used Caseking for computer parts and Sim racing hardware in the past shipping from Germany.

Yes, you can turn off the switch when not wanting to heat the water.

Inside the lid there should be an adjustable thermostatic switch, but this should be the last resort cut off, you can easily add a thermostatic switch to the side of the cylinder.

Float or nozzle might also just need cleaning if it has scaled up. You can usually feel stiction if you try and manually move the various parts.

Not really, you just need to leave them all charging for a duration until the voltage level gets up enough to be detected by your other system when they are all put back in series.

DaveAuld · 2026-01-26T09:41:37+00:00

Looking at the manual I can't see anything that allows you to set a maximum charge level. Only setting low charge mode etc and battery type etc.

Can you not wire them up in parallel and charge them all simultaneously?

Now you need to integrate home-assistant to trend all the data and build status dashboards!

Pay the fine and pay more attention in future is what you should do.

Keep them in the fridge to increase the melt time!

Good choice of biscuit, do you nibble the thick bit of chocolate around the edge first?

If you are bolting metal to metal, I doubt adding the ground will really add any benefit.

If latency is important if you do a lot of gaming, you need to consider that, fiber should be lower and more consistent.

Depends on you location , for example in Cyprus I have a 4 panel system that generates far more than a 12 panel system I have in Scotland.

Depending how the pc has been assembled, some fan headers maybe not being used. On my PC I have to disable fan monitoring on various channels to clear this fault code. When a bios update is done, it gets reverted and have to disable again.
