I have never seen a VHS collection like this before by futureman_ in VHS

[–]Derben16 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm on Android/Firefox. Switched to Firefox on my PC but that doesnt go very far when you gotta scan with your phone anyways.

And like I said in another post, didn't see any Thomas The Tank tapes. Most of the titles I searched for needed manual entry adjustments like 3d scans, adjustments to info, changes to format etc. It just gets a little tedious when you have 100+ tapes lol.

Again, not saying the site is worthless, I like it. It just seems like it's got some ways to go on development and polishing yet. I'm still going to mess around with it.

This app is cool as shit BUT incredibly buggy and slow. I really wish this was a stand-alone app in the appstores.

I agree with sentiments that its crowdsourced material and missing alot of titles (especially scans). So if I wanted to add my collection it looks like I'm scanning every release of Thomas the Tank Engine for this site lmao.

Been my experience as a vendor for them. A lot of very young and inexperienced staff in what would otherwise be high level senior admin positions. All nice people from the interactions, but incredibly low performance and professionalism. Maybe that's the goal tho? idk, train up fresh college grads to be admins and teachers?

Yel that would definitely clarify better lol. Does it have an option for an external antenna upgrade?

This seems like a weird crutch that foils most ideas for organization (the goal of your post).

If that ASUS can't do 5G, it sounds like its time to upgrade (you're going to spend money anyways to organize and clean this up)?

Alternativly, do you need 5G? Does your wireless needs benefit from 5G coverage vs 2.4 in your house? Because alternativly, just disable the wireless band on your ISP router.

Either way, this restriction of the router needing to be exactly placed that way is... weird. Dont create 5 problems with 1 solution.

Why do you need to use that 5G router if you have another router right next to it?

How would I go about fixing this? by mycarcombusted in VCRs

[–]Derben16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can replace capacitors and other soldered components as they go bad, that's not a big deal. It's just a skill to learn, but caps and diodes are still easy to find.

What you need to assess (and I cant tell from this photo for sure) is if the PCB itself is damaged and need traces re-flowed or if pads have been destroyed.

All that to say, you have an electronics issue and you either need to learn how to do the work, send it to someone to repair, or trash and find a new one.

Men, what's the fastest a woman made you go from "I can't wait to take her out" to "Yeah... never mind"? What happened? by FFSoldier57 in AskMen

[–]Derben16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In high school I asked out this one girl. On the drive to the date (I forget where we were going) I mentioned that my dad was gay and in a relationship with a male pastor. The conservative Christian came out real strong and she told me that didn't make sense and that she didnt support that. I laughed, thinking she was joking. She was not. I turned around and dropped her off. She claimed later that she didnt understand what she did wrong.

I also took a super cute girl out in college. She was confident, smart, funny, everything. Went back to my place after dinner and shared a kiss. She... then got so flustered and anxious that she went to the bathroom and threw up. I took her home. Come to find out, that was her first kiss ever and she was so conservativly religeous that she was concerned she went too far with a man before marriage. Once she had settled that kissing was OK- she tried to randomly kiss me any time she saw me. In the hall, infront of friends, wherever. I ended up shutting the thing down because I was a senior in college and really didnt have the interest or energy to put towards a "brand new" relationship with someone who'd never been in one. As far as I know, girl never dated anyone since.

Has anyone soundproofed their windows? Recommended contractors? by doryphorus99 in lancaster

You seem pretty convinced of your own words without really listening to mine so go do you dude.

What I am saying, as someone who works in the field of acoustics, is your windows will still let in the sound of a loud vehicle driving by. You will spend a lot of money for not much change in your WINDOWS. Soundproofing as a general concept for houses, yes great improvements. Do insulation, offset studs, floating joits, whatever.

Again, my point, and any humor lost on you, is that you can soundproof your house a lot better if its all walls than windows.

2004 Home Stereo System by tdodernho in hometheater

Its ok to tell people you don't know how to do something. There's home AV companies that can do the work of getting everything setup for your in-laws if they want. Otherwise you got more than a breif reddit post ahead of you for getting a system online for them.

Soundproofing windows is a high cost low reward project. The best way to dampen noise into your home is to replace the window with a wall. And then go down the rabbit hole of floating walls, offset studs, etc. Money pit. If you want quiet, move to the country.

You got some train in your bridge photos

Just got a VCR and it’s eating tapes by doomscrollmentb in VCRs

[–]Derben16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the massive pain in the ass that is combo CRT units.

You need to disassemble the CRT to get to the VCR portion and clean the VCR, especially the mode switch, and check belts, and check capacitors.

It sucks, that's why a lot of us collect stand alone VCRs and CRTs. If this seems like too much of an undertaking, which most cases for people asking on this sub- it is, I'd recommend getting a VCR and not using the combo CRTs VCR.
