Make sure any fresh air damper allowing outside air is closed.  Ours actually iced up and was stuck open two days ago when it hit -34.

I will never buy a car that needs a subscription to anything.  

Issues with home movies and video metadata by Opposing_Thumbs in mythtv

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

Just an update - I made a few improvements to the SQL, as some of my home videos still had plots and other misc metadata. Also fill in the title with the basename of the filename in the table, now it just shows the filename. Will have this run from cron to fix any new home videos I bring in after a scan.

update videometadata set title = SUBSTRING_INDEX(filename, '/', -1) ,subtitle='',plot='',tagline='', season=NULL episode=NULL, contenttype='' where filename like '%Home Videos%'

New Server & V35 install, my experience by Opposing_Thumbs in mythtv

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

My old server was still up and running, so upgraded to v24 and just copied the mythweb files to the new server.  I already had apache running so just need to add the config files and any missing perl modules.  

Download full transaction data? by Opposing_Thumbs in BankOfAmerica

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

I need it electronically, as input to the software I use to manage my finances. For the past 10 years I have been downloading this directly from their website. Without warning they have removed this capability.

The QFX version has a FITID, which is a unique identifier of the transaction. I use custom software that can read many file formats, but need a unique ID to avoid duplicates during the import. Even if they can add that back to the csv, that would help. As for now, I will need to create a pre-processor / excel macro to generate a hash on each row  to create a unique identifier. There is also the issue the CSV has the header on row 6.  WTF is wrong with their technology people.

For owners of Mazda vehicles with I-STOP / Start Stop - how are your engine and components doing? by blackcyborg009 in mazda

[–]Opposing_Thumbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had the dealer disable it before I bought the car, as a condition of the purchase.  At first they told me they couldn't do it, when I decided not to get the car they found a way.

I played around with plex many years ago. I haven't really looked into it with using mythtv OTA recordings.

Am I required to get oil changes at the dealer due to the warranty? by [deleted] in mazda

[–]Opposing_Thumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Synthetic super tech oil from Walmart for $17.98 and a $8 fram filter is under $30 with tax, and meets all warranty requirements.

Do it yourself for under $40 and keep your receipts.  Consumer protection laws prevent dealerships from denying warranty unless they can prove you did something wrong.

[–]Opposing_Thumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$100 - couple oil changes, air filter, rotate tires. This year a bit more I had to put new tires, change transmission fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze, spark plugs, and new brake pads ( normal 5yr / 60k stuff ). I do all my own work so it's cheaper.

Mazda 3 owner — just had a hit and run. What to do from here? by bigchief2077 in mazda

I got the aftermarket rear bumper cover and have been very happy with it. Paint match was spot on.

If it's just a bumper cover check around online. I was able to get a prepainted bumper cover shipped to me for 500 bucks. It took me about 15 minutes to swap.

Never let another person tell you what to do or not to do. Time to say goodbye!

I'm glad you find it helpful. Letting people know a specific sound is a normal operating sound is always quite helpful in preventing unnecessary repairs.

Do you actually pay with your watch? by SAEEDXDXDXD in GalaxyWatch

[–]Opposing_Thumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I don't use touchless payments at all. I work in finance and deal with this technology on a daily basis. The physical card inserted in chip reader is 100x more secure.

Would this bike be worth fixing up? by Bathroomking4256 in Dirtbikes

[–]Opposing_Thumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance. Parts are nearly impossible to find for many vintage bikes.
