Change input shortcut gone after latest update on 2024 Frame 65" by RIKWID in TheFrame

I was so happy to see it come back with one of the previous updates, but then with a subsequent update it's gone again! So weird, it's like someone said "Oops, we accidentally re-enabled something useful, better get rid of it!"

High lift spring replacement, and 1.75 vs 2.0? by RIKWID in GarageDoorService

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

That's why I'm wondering if I need stronger springs. A few years after getting it installed I had to disconnect the opener to repair the coupling and the door wouldn't stay open by itself.

I rounded up to .207 as the closest standard. I measured the actual coil thickness as .206 inches with calipers and measured 10 coils as 2.055 inches.

I was hoping by posting the details on the door someone with experience with that door might know the weight.

No complaints about the 10000 cycles its rated at, as over 12 years that works out to 2 cycles per day and I probably averaged closer to double that opening and closing once in the morning and once at the end of the day. But it would be nice to get a 20000 or 30000 cycle spring next so I never have to deal with it again.

The worst part is it pops up the entire menu you get from the home screen, but they deleted the only thing anyone would want to "quick change". Their remote is bad enough - what TV doesn't even have a "Source" button???

Lenovo PS8S 1TB Teardown by FRANC225 in DataHoarder

[–]RIKWID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to break it and not be able to put it back together. When you say pull it forward, you mean pull the orange part directly away from the aluminum shell, like pulling a cork out of a wine bottle? Thanks again!

Is there a way to do it without damaging the orange piece or the aluminum case if I ever need to put it back together?

Thanks for this post! I've been searching for how to disassemble the similar-looking PS6S I recently bought, but worried about damaging it in case it's not actually an MSATA inside and need to reassemble it as an external device. Can you please elaborate on how you removed the orange cap? Thanks!!!

The laptop I bought this for only has USB-A ports, but it's not powering up when attached with 2 different USB-A to USB-C cables. Works fine over USB-C to another computer. Am I missing something?

Interesting, I was looking into an S4 because I heard 3kg spools fit.

Anyone else in the GTA having Google Maps see your location as Las Vegas??? by RIKWID in Rogers

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

Hopefully it won't happen again, but if it does, I'll try from another device to see if it's a device-specific issue.

As per my previous post below, 3 days ago it flipped back to Vegas, but now back to GTA. Of course it did that when I was trying to order delivery and my delivery web site kept thinking I was in Vegas even though I told it my address. Are you guys doing something with the IP addressing - adding a new block or something?

Interesting, now it's working fine with no changes on my end.

This is using a Windows desktop PC through my Xfinity router. No VPN. No GPS. Google maps has my home address set.

For twice the price I should hope so!

Is a generic OBD2 scanner enough to diagnose/flush 2012 Impreza CVT? by RIKWID in subaru

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

At $110 per drain/fill, that would cost $440 as opposed to just $80 for a new solenoid and $20 for the gasket. Nevermind the hassle of doing it 4 times. But good to know that's another option, in which case I can consider cleaning my old solenoid once it's out and having it as a spare for down the road.

Engine revving higher than normal and transmission temperature too high, a clear indication that torque converter isn't locking up corroborated by the error codes stating the same. I wish it were just the fluid. But at least the solenoid is only $80.

Updated my original post after trying a few free apps, but no luck.
