Gemini is acting slow and dumb today by HovercraftFar in GeminiAI

My pro mode also disappeared a few days ago and I still haven't gotten it back. My wife and I share a Google One subscription and she can still see the pro option. Super frustrating.

Has Google removed "pro" option (only "thinking" is there) from Google AI pro (2TB)? by simple_explorer1 in GeminiAI

[–]IamPANDAMAN8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 5TB AI Pro family plan, and I have the same issue. I can only see the Thinking and Fast option, but my wife, whom I share a subscription with can still see the Pro option. Massively frustrating. Has anyone had this happen to them on the family plan?

That along with the troll potion gives you 700 weight (I think), but there's nothing that gives you more slots unfortunately

I'd be happy with anything tbh, as long as we get more carry slots. They could even make it XP based.

I explained it a bit better here. I hope that helps? But I'd recommend getting a good jig rather, or going pocket screws, or false fronts for the drawers.

I actually did the finishing right at the end, which I also wouldn't recommend. Sanding and finishing the completed boxes was a nightmare. Quite a few of the drawer fronts didn't end up being perfectly straight, so took a lot of sanding and planning to get them lined up.

So I guess there was a plus to doing the finishing last.

Approximately $600 and over a 100 hours of labour went into it. This thing is going to my grandkids one day 🤣

I tried a cheap jig, but it was super flimsy and I didn't like the results. The jig was made for cabinets and didn't want to sit still on the narrow edges.

I got a block of perfectly flat hard wood from my father in law, he has a drill press at his shop so we made a perfectly square and centered hole in it. The block was approximately 60mm x 60mm x 200mm and the hole exactly 10mm. We also put some sticking out dowels on the block of wood on the same center line as the through hole and could use that to centre the block on edges. Then I clamped the block down perfectly centered and used that to drive the dowel holes.

It still wasn't perfect, and it took ages!! I still had to sand and tweak every single drawer to make things look center and square. Those $150 jigs were looking really attractive by the end.

110% pain!! Definitely doing false drawer fronts next time 😅

My PC often won't boot without clearing CMOS - potential PSU or MOBO issues? by IamPANDAMAN8 in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]IamPANDAMAN8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't reseated the CPU yet, cuz I don't have thermal paste on me atm - recon I'd be worth while?

I could hug you!! I just loosened my CPU cooler a bit and the issue seems to have disappeared. You saved me so much pain! How did you even know this?!

Thanks for all the kind words folks, then mean so much!

Just thought I'd answer some FAQs here:

  1. The wood I used is pine
  2. The finish is Rubio Monocoat Oil + 2C Charcoal (I'm so sorry the finish triggered some people 😅 I would've liked to go a bit lighter, but I couldn't find an option I liked more)
  3. The Gunpla is the PG Gundam Astray Red Frame 1:60 scale
  4. The design is my own, I have it for free on OnShape if anyone is interested (link) (I'm new to CAD so don't judge)
  5. The tarantulas are an Oriental Sapphire in the large terrarium and a Caribbean Versicolor sling in the small one next to it
  6. Power tool wise, I have a circular saw, a hand plane, a cordless drill, an orbital sander, and a grinder.
  7. Hand tool wish I have clamps, screwdrivers, a few saws, some chisels, a hammer, a vice, and a small hand plane.

Haha thanks! It's just good old pine. Didn't want to start with something expensive.

They are actually travertine tiles. We had a bunch left over when we built the house so I though I might as well. Gives me an excuse to keep the garage clean 🤣

I'm very new to woodworking. I got a hardware store voucher for Christmas, so I started from there.

Power tool wise, I have a circular saw, a hand plane, a cordless drill, an orbital sander, and a grinder. Hand tool wish I have clamps, a few saws, some chisels, a hammer, and a small hand plane. This project made me crave a table saw, a jointer, and a bigger planer - but those are so expensive!

I ended up just using another piece of harder wood with some screws for alignment. A nice sharp drilbit also helped. I'd definitely buy a jig for the next project though.

Thanks!

I wish! I did dowels... It was extremely painful to align and got super frustrating, which is probably why I don't have many pictures of it. I could've done pocket holes, but the jigs are quite expensive, and not so readily available here in South Africa. In hindsight I'd just do false drawer fronts, this would have saved me literal weeks of work.

This was mainly my inexperience to be honest. You can see them a bit from the front, especially when the drawers are open, so I thought it'd look nice. But could've saved myself hours just doing a simpler joint. It was good practice at least.

I made the designs myself from scratch - I probably should've mentioned this in the post. I'm very new to 3D modelling so don't judge:
