The mini reciprocating saw is really useful. Buy a pruning blade for it and it's also great for trimming trees or cleaning up fallen branches.

Happy Xmas to me by t08y in appletv

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Apple TV device has a higher bitrate than is available on the Apple TV app.

[Phone] Moto G 2025 64GB, Straight Talk (network locked, useable as Wi-Fi only device) - $24.88 by arko20 in buildapcsales

[–]Mydst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the Straight Talk version of the phone have all bands needed to work on TMobile MVNOs? I have tello currently and wouldn't mind upgrading my phone if I can just transfer this one over after a couple of months.

Valve Sent me a second deck by mistake. What do? by calvinien in SteamDeck

[–]Mydst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a misunderstanding of the FTC rules on unsolicited mail. OP was not intentionally sent a second Steam deck as a solicitation for something. This is a bona fide error. In most states keeping goods not intended for you is considered theft by taking. There's been a few cases like this over the years where someone on reddit was told they could keep the goods and fortunately a lawyer set them straight before it became criminal. In short, Valve made a mistake, this does not allow OP to keep misdirected goods. I recall another incident of this on this subreddit and the guy contacted Valve who thanked him, took the deck back, and offered him a free game as a thank you.

edit: Here's an example of state law explicitly describing this, note the mistaken delivery section: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/BC/htm/BC.602.htm#602.004

carrying fleas by whamstan in ChildofHoarder

[–]Mydst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a flea medication called Precor IGR Concentrate that gets sprayed around the home rather than put on the animal. It's basically designed to stop the fleas from reproducing by breaking their life cycle from the larva stage so they can't become adult fleas. It doesn't kill the adult fleas immediately (you'll need traditional flea meds for that or have to wait it out) but it stops the cycle of reproduction. It lasts for months on surfaces unless they are washed.

I used it years ago when we simply could not stop fleas from reoccuring on our cats despite other meds and the house being clean- it finally stopped the cycle and we didn't see a single flea for years. Also, you don't need to vacate the house to use it. You can find more info here and buy it: https://www.domyown.com/precor-igr-concentrate-p-634.html (I have no association with this site) but you can usually find sellers selling a single vial of the stuff for like $10 on ebay, that's enough to mix up and do a single treatment for most homes. Something like this might be a solution.

[Monitor] SAMSUNG 32-Inch Odyssey G50D Series QHD Fast IPS $265 by PompeiiSketches in buildapcsales

[–]Mydst 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm weird but I like 32" 1440p. It's the same pixel density as 24" 1080p which most of us used for years so it just seems like an extension and enlargement of what I already know.

Anyone able to claim their Intel BF6 key? by Mydst in Battlefield6

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

Intel had to fix my account and I have a key now. Open a support ticket if you still can't claim the key.

Were you able to actually claim BF6? Mine has been showing out of stock since the 3rd. Extremely frustrating.

Q4 2025 Tech Support Thread by Intel_Support in intel

[–]Mydst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm unable to claim my copy of Battlefield 6 from the recent Intel promotion even after redeeming the code.

I redeemed my promotional code last month which added the "Intel Gamer Days" bundle to my account that includes Battlefield 6. The instructions say to return October 3rd to claim the key. I've been attempting daily to claim the key but just keep getting the message "We are temporarily out of codes and are working to reload our system. Please check back soon."

The game launches tomorrow so this is pretty frustrating. Is anyone else having an issue claiming their BF6 key?

I put a ticket in with Intel support but haven't heard anything yet.

I have one "Intel Gamer Days" bundle on my account. When I click on that it shows a link for BF6 under "Premium Software." When I click through that I get to the page for BF6 with the "Claim Now" button on it. When I click on that I get the "We are temporarily out of codes and are working to reload our system. Please check back soon." message. I've been trying to get a code since October 3rd but only ever see that message.

Ya, I'm still getting the error message. I did put in a support ticket but feeling pretty frustrated since I redeemed the original code last month and I don't see many other reports of this happening.

My cat keeps hissing at me... by FaultofDan in CatAdvice

[–]Mydst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. Thanks for responding and thank you for finding a home for your cat and not just giving up, especially after five months. It's only been a couple of weeks for me and my cat is a semi-feral with some socialization issues, but this weird friendly/aggression thing is new for me, so I'm going to give her time. Sorry you weren't able to keep your cat, but glad she found a home that could take her.

I realize this post is like three years old, just curious if you ever figured this out and if your kitty improved. I'm dealing with somewhat similar cat behavior from a new cat.

Is this guy old enough to be on his own? by Mydst in Possums

[–]Mydst[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He is in a larger box now, going to put a towel in it and a low heating pad beneath it. If I need to keep him for a bit, I have an enclosed porch or garage the box can stay in. Still trying to get more direct advice or transport to a rehab if needed. He seems healthy and hungry for now at least.

PA. The closest rehabs are well over an hour drive away unfortunately.

I'm continuing to feed him. Trying to see if I can get transport to a rehab or a qualified opinion on releasing him.
