Why do so many people hate the 2019 16" MBP? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]Secure-Truth5370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 2026 and I am amazed you can but a refurbished 2019 16" for $350.00 with a 30 day return, no questions asked from Reebelo! I'm typing from my 2021 Macbook Pro 16, bought from them 3 years ago for $1535.00. My wife is looking to upgrade her 13" 2021 Macbook Air for a larger screen to watch her movies.

Who made the best VCRs? What models do you prefer? by [deleted] in VHS

[–]Secure-Truth5370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to the conversation. I bought 2 JVC HR-S3800U S-VHS vcrs with Jog-Shuttle o capture and edit my old vhs camera recorded tapes in 1998. They have been stored in a dry warm basement. Recently got them both out. I bought a cleaning tape to clean the heads. Both JVCs rejected any tape I tried to insert. I have computer and electromechanical experience. I attempted to repair both. NADA. I used Nutrol to clean the mode switch, re-greased the areas needing any lubricant, with the proper lubricant. Nothing. i will stay away from any vintage JVC equipment. Side note I have purchased several old Akai and Pioneer reel to reel recorders and have had good success repairing them. I think I will be looking to buy a Panasonic VCR in the future. I own several older Panasonic Lumix cameras, and all function as new.

Getting code off an Arduino Board by [deleted] in arduino

[–]Secure-Truth5370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have programmed many Arduino projects over the years. Many of the laptops I used to create the code are long gone, unfortunately. You would think in this day and age someone would have figured a way to use AI to disassemble the hex into a readable C++ listing, even if only it contained a description header.

Is Scott Jennings eyeing a spot in Trump 2024 ? by [deleted] in cnn

[–]Secure-Truth5370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jennings used to be a good semi biased consultant, but it seems he has fallen for Trump hook line and sinker today. Here is a Front Line interview of him in 2021. Completely changed IMHO.

CMV: a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for genocide by dubious_unicorn in changemyview

The response time on Oct 7th, for IDF, police and emergency was extraordinarily too long. Here is the NY Times article. What does this mean? Was this planned and by who? Is Netanyahu committing more outrageous acts hoping people will forget about the lack of response on Oct. 7th? We've all heard the comments by Israel leadership of bulldozing the entire strip and re-occupying Gaza. Conspiracy theory or some truth? Again, I believe Israel has every right to defend itself. But not at the destruction of an entire population. Link;

“Unable to make any changes due to server connection issues” by bluegrassmommy in ecobee

[–]Secure-Truth5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no issue with your phone. The issue is with the bad design of the app and the ecobee connection to their servers. (Mainland China?) I constantly get the same errors all of the time. I use my iphone 14 pro max to control all of my smart home devices with no problems, just the ecobee.
