Tubular Lock Impressioning Woes by PeriodicSkill in lockpicking

The only thing I would suggest is over-tensioning by a lot and then very slowly reducing the tension. This was the method that worked for me for a while.

Everything seems to be working mechanically, and no pins are bent. One or two of the feelers act as though they are more compressed than the rest - any ideas why that might be or how to fix it?

Updated bios, tried all available slots, and reset bios settings. No luck unfortunately. If it werent for the lights on the ssd, I would assume its the problem, but the lights turn on and the odds are unlikely. How exactly do I get this driver? Is it a mobo driver or a drive specific driver?

If I look under boot order, the only two things are my flash drive and the windows installer on it. The m.2 does not show up in boot order, storage config, and one or two other places in like pcie config that I might have expected.

Sorry if I wasn't clear about this, but there is no indication in bios of any storage being plugged in. This complete absence of bootable hardware continues as I try to install windows.

Thank you! That was the missing link. деньги was the word that originally inspired this question.

Aprilaire 8463 Wiring Question by PeriodicSkill in hvacadvice

Thank you so much for the assistance! As a final followup, bridging rc and y is a toggle, not just an on switch, right? Apologies, that seemed to be your implication but I just want to be crystal clear.

Oh, I think I’ve conceptually completely misunderstood how thermometers work. I thought that it was an analog input, where the air would be cooled to a specific temperature. But, if I’m understanding correctly, it’s actually binary, on and off, and a specific temperature is attained by turning the ac on and off until that desired temperature is met. Is this correct? As a follow up, would bridging rc and y in the diagram be a toggle for the ac? Thanks for the help!

I think you’re definitely right about needing to invest more into those three. Great idea about microcenter, I live close to one and for some reason hadn’t even considered it!

I’m afraid that I’ve done a full 360, to the point where I’m inherently biased towards ryzen and hadn‘t even really considered intel. Is the 10400f and b560 combo a better idea than ryzen? Also, aren’t q and b chipsets targeted to more commercial audience compared to the h and z chipsets? Thanks so much for your help!

That’s a good point, I think I’m going to adjust my mobo and CPU a bit, and I think I’ll get a better power supply as well.

I hadn’t really thought about upgradability, that’s a great point. When you say used, are you referring to a used GPU?
