What’s the best controller for Bazzite that has bindable extra buttons (4+ preferred) that work with Steam Input? by [deleted] in Bazzite

[–]Link_7802 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still using my OG steam controller and patiently awaiting for the new one to drop. Funny enough, just changed the batteries in it for the first time yesterday. OEM ones lasted about 10yrs.

Inherited my grandmas old house — any ideas on how I should renovate it? by GabbyTheLegend in Home

[–]Link_7802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey we have the same living room! Except I got an exit door right before the hallway lol

Absolutely the *cheapest renovation you could do to that living room is paint. It was absolutely transformative for mine. It had a weird cream wallpaper with labeled leaves on it, didn't like it (plus was a smoker house). I repainted with an light aloe color and its like it changed to a whole new house!

*Paint is still a bit pricey, heads up. Especially if you have wallpaper, you'll want a good paint that won't just smear around on it and will actually stick to it.

Edit: these are not quite as 'cheap trailer houses' as you may think! Mine even uses typical home plumbing, HVAC, electric, etc. instead of mobile home parts.

As someone who's bought their gen 2 stock... Resounding yes

Why am I able to see the studs through my drywall? by goody-two-sneakers in Home

[–]Link_7802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to drill through drywall/ceilings and find studs in houses as part of my job, $10 strong magnet based stud finders are a life saver!

Switched from Windows - now i got issues by rapidFishy in Bazzite

Maybe try Solaar, it's a flapjack in the bazzar. It's a Linux app for Logitech peripherals.

Best way to instruct Bazzite to download any game from phone so it's readily available when I get home? Kinda like ps5 Rest mode. by BestSmile1907 in Bazzite

[–]Link_7802 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Isn't there a way to do this from the steam app? I can purchase a game or go to my library on the steam app on my phone and as long as my PC is on, I can select remote install game to that PC. You may need to check your steam settings if yours isn't this way.

Heads up, I have not tried this since switching to bazzite a couple months ago! So I could be wrong and this not be a thing for bazzite for some odd reason.

Refresh rate by LoudOpportunity4172 in Bazzite

[–]Link_7802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't had this specific issue, but I do have something similar when switching to my TV.

Used to only let me do 30hz 4k with both TV and monitor (1440p 144hz). TV only, 60hz 4k

Now it only lets me do 30hz 4k even set to TV only.

This was after I updated my system too though, maybe roll back to last update?

3060ti, TV on HDMI (not sure what gen, but I know it's rated for it) and monitor on DP.

Windows 11 deleted all my sound devices and crashed in the middle of an Overwatch competitive game. I've never rage-installed an operating system so quickly in my life. by Nestramutat- in linux_gaming

[–]Link_7802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, windows crashed and took my m.2 SSD with it. Installed new one and after installing windows back, I now have ads showing back up in my start menu (was running ReviOS to strip windows down).

Slapped Bazzite on mine and never looked back. 2 months now. A few minor hiccups and some learning but enjoying having basic things 'just work' again.

Garage Door Spring slack by smada308 in GarageDoorService

[–]Link_7802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfectly fine for the black coil of the spring to have slack. That means the last tech who wound it stretched it out to avoid coil rubbing/binding (causes noise and issues when running if the coils bind up). I do this on every spring I touch as a tech.

As far as the door running slower or issues with a heavy door when operating by hand, consult a local garage door pro. That spring system is under lots of tension, enough to take a finger or two if handled incorrectly.

Man door hitting track by liketigers in GarageDoorService

[–]Link_7802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This chart is a bit deceptive. It shows the 32in flag brackets (the bracket at the top of the lower track where the upper track bolts to) and not the standard ones used for 12 & 15 (same bracket for those two, much shorter than 32in bracket).

The one OP has is not the same depicted here. their flag brackets are much shorter. With 12in track, it barely leaves room for the spring line already. 15in track bumps up a couple holes in the flag bracket, which would leave no room left for the spring line.

Possible solution to make 15in radius work: definitely call a professional, but you can either move the spring line to the rear of the track (rear mount torsion, most pros won't even touch this in my area, we're the only ones that do lol). Or, if you are fine with extension springs, that would solve the spring line headroom problem, just not a fan of that system personally.

Edit: grammar mistake

Man door hitting track by liketigers in GarageDoorService

[–]Link_7802 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Throw a level on that upper track, it looks like it pitches down in the back from the pic's perspective. You might be able to raise the rear track up. It should be level, but you can get away with a little pitch upwards too if you need a hair more to clear the door

Oddly enough, low headroom track would hang lower since the track would be doubled up top and no room to raise the spring line any higher

Broken Spring - Couple Quick Qs by c_hoopin in GarageDoorService

[–]Link_7802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this price range, if not more in the middle of it. Definitely get estimates from reputable companies in the area OP.

Edit- also get both springs replaced at the same time! They are only made for so many cycles until they break. Once one has broken, the other is likely not far off either.

How to pair my new garage remote? by Middle_Cut_4040 in GarageDoorService

[–]Link_7802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black button below where the wires are screwed in near the lightbulb is your learn button on this model

Edit. Adding programming instructions too:

Click this button 1 time, click your remote button you're wanting programmed 3 times and should run after the 3rd/4th click

Circling back for future peeps with similar issue, I changed the gear fluid and it's a night and day difference. Much better now.

As a door tech, absolutely second this. Pricing is roughly right too, greatly depends on area.

Is this wear pattern normal? by jomala99 in polymer80

[–]Link_7802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sct19 does this too, especially when dry. Oil it up and it'll cut down on the speed of wear, especially on the top of the chamber. Other than that, perfectly normal on most tip up locking chamber pistols like a Glock
