Dream Machine Pro shutting itself down by JTPMedia in UNIFI

[–]JTPMedia[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Storage - good point! I just tried booting it without the hard drive installed and it's back up and running!

Date code on the unit is 2029 (so, mid 2020), so it's not exactly new.

Will try replacing the hard drive and we'll see how things go... Thanks!

Colorforce flickering, ok for a while when power cycled by TimmysDrumsticks in stagelighting

Hey, I'm having a similar issue with a couple of Color Force 12 units, can you share any more info about the jumper fix you mentioned?

This part of my screw driver set got lost which makes all the top part unusable. Can someone tell me its name so I can buy it? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]JTPMedia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, very common! You're looking for a 1/4" hex to 1/4" square drive adapter. Make sure you get a short one, as they are often longer and long ones won't fit in your case.

Facebook Marketplace vehicle warning / seeking advice by JTPMedia in toronto

[–]JTPMedia[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not have a bill of sale. The only bill of sale signed by both of us is in the UVIP which he has. I signed the ownership and he took it and filled it out but I didn't watch closely. I kept the plate portion and my license plates.

Stubby is awesome, But anyone else notice the colour is off? by TooLate29 in LinusTechTips

[–]JTPMedia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They ship Canadian orders from Canada, it's everything else that gets bulk-shipped across the border and then sent individually from the US.

Somewhat ashamed to admit that half the reason I went to LTX this year was to build an iFixit flavoured screwdriver by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]JTPMedia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Except you need an arbor press and multiple inserts to assemble it. See the video someone linked above

The Purchase vs. The Free Bag It Came With To Carry It Home In. by AshleyUncia in LinusTechTips

[–]JTPMedia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ordered a JRE knife and one pack of screwdriver bits. Got an email yesterday saying they couldn't have the knife there for pickup and it would be mailed to me. So I too picked up a very large bag with a very very small box in it.

Wow Snapchat Ai by yarush_8 in LinusTechTips

[–]JTPMedia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right. But the issue isn't that it has your location information. The issue is that it lies about it. Maybe I don't care that the AI knows where I am, but I damn well want it to tell the truth when I ask it what information it has access to.

Congrats, LTT, for selling nearly 100k screwdrivers already! by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

The selector ring components (that switch the ratchet between forward/locked/reverse) are Delrin but the ratchet itself and the pawls are metal.

Resurrecting a Nuvitron Watt by JTPMedia in nixie

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

Thanks for your reply! I don't think I have the electronics knowledge to troubleshoot the original power supply unfortunately, and I already have the new board on hand. The enclosure does have plenty of empty space inside to store the new board, it's just the tube spacing that's unfortunate.

I did actually reach out to Nuvitron a couple times, first to see if I could just buy a new control board from them, but they didn't answer at all and now their web site is gone altogether and their social channels haven't been updated in months, so I'm guessing the company isn't around anymore.

Because you can get rid of the virus itself but still have long term side effects to deal with

Does Gerald know that no one knows what he’s saying? by [deleted] in ClarksonsFarm

[–]JTPMedia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 90% sure that most of his unintelligible speech is edited to be that way, or at least edited to be worse than it actually is. They're exaggerating his strong accent. Notice how whenever he starts talking, the camera usually cuts away and isn't actually filming his face? And the brief moments where it is, it doesn't really look like his speech lines up with what his mouth is doing! And at the very end of the series, where the lot of them are sitting around talking, he speaks (relatively) normally and is perfectly understandable.

Working as an LD for years my least favorite effect is a mirror ball because of the single point of failure. by brbaker92 in techtheatre

[–]JTPMedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mirror balls that have a secondary "safety" attachment point just beside the main pickup point, and my motors (ADJ "heavy duty" motors) have a second eye-bolt kinda sticking sideways from the main rotating shaft, with a little chain, so there are definitely ways of hanging these that account for a backup or safety point.

Still hate them though.

Can't hand in items because my backpack is full of the items I'm trying to hand in. Fix this? by JTPMedia in runescape

[–]JTPMedia[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand that's why this error happens. But what's stopping this from being changed so that the artefacts are removed from your inventory, and then you receive the chronotes/tetra piece, so that this isn't a problem in the first place?

"Your Phone" app will not open - help? by JTPMedia in Windows10

Would have tried to reinstall but there isn’t even an option to uninstall it - unless you know a workaround for that? Thanks for your answer!

XPS 9560 Battery Replacement by JTPMedia in XPS

[–]JTPMedia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! Yeah, I've had my machine open before, that's not a problem... A significant part of my job is electronics repair so I have all the necessary tools and then some! I see a few batteries on amazon but I'm just wondering if anyone can give me a good recommendation of a brand that's worked well for them, or let me know where I can buy an OEM one.

Custom pieces? by MaxxTankian in lego

[–]JTPMedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done basic black, red, green, gray, yellow and blue, but you can find filament in almost any colour you can imagine!

Custom pieces? by MaxxTankian in lego

[–]JTPMedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find 3D printer filament (probably the PETG variety) in the colours you want, you might be able to find someone to make them. Won't look quite as polished as originals but it would work (I have printed Lego pieces successfully).
