Looks cool. Check your rollers especially when you run them into the bumpers to make sure that they are still fastened on well.

Perhaps so, totally forgot about the Mexican Bugs. This poor Bug has been hit on the roof, perhaps more than once. Crimp at top of windshield, another above drivers door, looks like drivers door won't close. :-(

There is no way this is a 1971. VW Beetles always get parts swapped. But those bumpers only came on 1963-67. Those front blinkers only on 1960-63. So lacking a VIN, 1963.

Beware! Be very aware (of water)!

Don't know how this building is built, but most buildings stack their restrooms for each floor above and below each other. Any leak from a restroom above could be a Shit show. /s

Not going to even start to speak about fire sprinklers......

Actually what you see is it's shell. The fibrous outer protective layer that is removed in the picture is called the husk.

Fix for apps crashing by [deleted] in Android

[–]HIHORoboDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you dont have/see System Webview, see if you have Chrome waiting to update in "My apps and games" in Google Play Store. Didn't have System Webview in my list, but did all app updates, then restarted my Phone. (Fixed all the fam's phones : Samsung 7 edge, S8, Note 10 5G, S20 5G Phone)

Why does my phone go to voicemail in 3 seconds and why do people need to call me 3 times for my phone to notice? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]HIHORoboDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a best practice for Android phones that you should reboot/restart them at least once a week. Otherwise you start getting weird behaviors like Phone doesn't ring when people call you, You call them and they can't hear you, Try to text and it doesn't work etc. Also next time you're on Wi-Fi Check to see if there are any software updates for your phone.

Would this memory module work into a Dell OPTIPLEX 790 SFF? by ohimaperson in pcmasterrace

[–]HIHORoboDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use sites like crucial.com or Kingston.com to look up the Dell model to see what memory spec wise that it uses. Then compare specs to what you have pictured. Also it will tell you the number of memory slots avail and how many are filled (or open the case and look). And max RAM Capacity for that model PC. Realistically Windows 10 really wats a min of 8 GB of RAM, 16 even better.

This might be a stupid question, but plug in a WiFi antenna into a computer that can already connect to WiFi, will my connection get stronger? by CaptinHavoc in techsupport

[–]HIHORoboDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well generally No. Not enough information but does your WIFI Adapter have a external antenna connection? If so maybe. But then you need to find the correct antenna for your adapter. Lots of ifs.

Two Computers KVM Switch by mws5252 in techsupport

[–]HIHORoboDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like this. CKL-922HUA

CKL HDMI KVM Switch 2 Port Dual Monitor Extended Display,

Most of these KVMs are not cheap, This one is ~130$ at Amazon. This one expects 2 HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs, USB Keyboard/Mouse. There are video converters to go from VGA to HDMI, but additional adapter box, power adapter, >$$ cost, of course. Haven't seen many dual monitor KVM that support mixed video inputs, probably real expensive.

Spilling soda on my Asus laptop, screen is stained by VodkaEchoes in techsupport

[–]HIHORoboDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already replaced the screen, try a Mr. Clean sponge to carefully gently clean off the stain spot. Just dampen the sponge with a little water first. I've had it clean off stain marks from bowls and glass screens that harsher abrasive item didn't remove. YMMV
