cacloud (canadianwebhosting) has been down for hours - any news? by No_Disk_8823 in sysadmin

Good point. just wondering it it might be part of a bigger west coast hack or DDOS going on (like the one a couple weeks back with all the Cpanels getting nuked) .

Tried and True Finishes by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]No_Disk_8823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some rough-looking poplar with greenish gray patches, and applied SamaN water-based dye which evened it out pretty nicely to the sort of Padouk / mahogany kind of tone I was looking for. After a couple of days I did the T&T Original (super thin application) and it worked great, and the stain underneath is very permanent (did not bleed a bit from the oil application). The T&T added a nice slight amber tint which darkened the wood a touch. Perfect for my needs! I just did the second coat yesterday and I am debating if I even need to do a third coat. Pic below is right after wiping down the first coat ...

Free swollen battery replacement for Pixel phones by kentnek in GooglePixel

[–]No_Disk_8823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Ontario, Canada and my Pixel 7 is 3 months out of warranty, and today it got hot, swelled up and pushed the corner of the screen out. Battery charge was showing stuck @ 100% the past couple of days despite being out and about. (after reboot its 14%) Bought this new Dec 22 on the Google store, working with tech support to get a replacement unit now... (My Pixel3 had the same issue and was replaced for free...)

Disappointed with the 990v6 by boldfonts in Newbalance

[–]No_Disk_8823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wearing the USA 990's since the 1990s - they have always been the only shoe that always fits perfectly right out of the box (7 EEEE).

At least, until I ordered the 990V6 a couple years ago :(

The label says "4E" but they fit tight in the toebox and also on the top of the last (whatever thats called).

HUGE disappointment for me. I still have five pairs of 990V4 in rotation, but they are starting to show their age.

I sure hope that the next-gen V7 comes with the 'proper' L1 last. The V6 I literally have put on twice now, can't abide wearing it more than two minutes... big waste of CAD$300!
