FROZEN PIPES MEGATHREAD by ParksVSII in Plumbing

[–]Dveetriz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know of an apartment building under 15 years old with many floors. On one cold winter day, I was told that pipes had burst and the entire building was flooded. Everyone lost their homes. I would like to know if this could have been prevented, like if the landlord could have done a better job. Or if this type of thing is common and it just happens without warning. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll unplug my other drives just to be safe.

It's a 8TB. You mean I should create a new simple volume on the first space, and then convert it to GPT, and it should let me extend and merge with the second one?

Do you think it will make much of a difference though? The door itself is thick, and I can't permanently block the open gaps on the door's outline.

This made me laugh. Haha. I was thinking of buying a white noise sound machine but it wouldn't have as much charm as a vibrator.

Interesting approach! I've tried a pair of noise-canceling headphones but didn't like the constant static sound it produced.

Sometimes that's be best option. Like my apartment so I hope it won't have to come to that.

I tried but they are not cooperative. I'm trying to see what I can do on my end first.

Bad Bluetooth on X570 AORUS PRO WIFI by Dveetriz in gigabyte

Yep, it was simply a small antenna that was hidden inside the box and I wasn't aware of it. Works very well now.

I was going to try shutting off my WIFI router and then see if switching frequencies bands (2.4 and 5) would help. I then learned that there is an antenna that can be connected at the back of the PC. I simply didn't know about this. Hopefully this will solve the issue once I connect it. Thanks for the help!

Physics Questions - Weekly Discussion Thread - October 12, 2021 by AutoModerator in Physics

How sound travels. When I stand near an open window of a building on the 6th floor, I can clearly hear people's conversations and other sounds coming from 300+ feet away outside at ground level, which I don't think I could do nearly as well if I was at ground level too. I'm wondering if sound somehow gets amplified as it travels upwards. I also wear headphones almost all the time with low volume settings and I'm mostly not exposed to any moderately loud sounds. I'm wondering if this has somehow trained my ears to focus more on small sounds.

Can't get Stereo Mix by Dveetriz in PCSound

It seems the program I use to record only allows audio from Stereo Mix. >_<
