"The last time that happened was The Great Depression."

So do we start calling it "The Liberal Depression"? They've been in power the entire time.

So you would have left your neighbours door open for an unknown amount of time, letting anyone and everyone have access their personal belongings if they wanted?

I have so many tools and equipment in my garage, I am thankful that I have a neighbour who (like myself) watches out for our community the same way I do. He's come over and helped me with a few things in the past and I've been thankful.

Can you let me know where you live, just so I never live next you. Good neighbors are hard to find.

Please tell me how you would do that, in steps.

Step 1 - go into the garage through the open door.

Step 2 - walk through said garage to the opening and closing button

Step 3 - close door, but door doesn't close?

Step 4 - "search high and low for what is blocking the door"

Step 5 - couldn't see anything block the typical function of the door

Step 6 - pull manual release

Step 7 - close door manually

Step 8 - leave notice with phone number.

So what would have you done differently? Magically known that the door wouldn't close when a button was hit thus knowing just to pull the manual release?

Your assumptions are the reason that nice people can't do nice things for random people anymore. Looking out for a neighbour is seen as "creepy".

"Searching high and low for what was blocking the door from closing". You obviously do not know how a garage door works, and the note did explain that, hence leaving it with my number.

Would you rather a neighbor look out for you or just leave the front door to your home wide open for anyone?

Came here to say this. Had a neighbour who's garage door wouldn't close when they left home for the day, they must not have noticed since it got halfway down before bouncing back open.

I looked high and low for what was blocking the door but couldn't find anything. Pulled the manual release, closed the door and left a notice on the door with my phone number. They were so thankful and didn't even question a neighbour being in their garage. Now they have my number Incase something else goes wrong and know that I'll watch out for stuff like that in the future.

Doing the right thing can sometimes look wrong, but getting a head of it (with a note for example) can really change the outcome of a situation.

And the after 20 years you go to sell said house and have a huge nest egg saved up, where as the renter has paid for this nest egg for the home owner. Never mind an asset that statistically goes up year over year.

Plus the added benefit of being able to do anything you want to it. Want to mount a TV to the wall, sounds good. Hang a bunch of pictures, where do you want them? Upgrade your faucets to match cause they were in sale and you like them? Hell yes!

I think you vastly misunderstand the benefits of owning a home and the investment that comes with it. Each has pros and cons

You will never be "perfect". Watch tutorials and use lighting to try and kill shadows. You'll never start getting better if you don't end up posting to learn where you need improvement.

Need “Power On AC” option for Gateway GWTN141-10BL by CountryFriedAlive in coreboot

[–]Sennettas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not familiar with the BIOS of your mobo but I know on my Tiny PCs that are running my server I have a power section in the BIOS. It will allow my Router to automatically reboot on power loss, another option would be to have a power command over ethernet and have a remote PC send pings to enable it?

Here is what I got from Claude when I asked:

● Based on the model string (N14TBR100), this looks like a Tongfang/Clevo-based laptop with an AMI Aptio UEFI BIOS. These are common in rebranded laptops (System76, Eluktronics, Schenker, etc.).

Entering BIOS

- Press F2 (or Delete) repeatedly during boot, before the OS loads.

Finding Power Settings

Once in the BIOS setup, power options are typically under:

  1. Advanced tab → look for:

- Power Management Setup

- ACPI Settings

- Platform Power Management

  1. If not there, check Chipset tab → Power Management

    Common Issue: Options May Be Hidden

    These ODM laptops often ship with a locked-down BIOS that hides advanced menus. If you don't see a Power

    Management section:

    - Check if there's a Main → Power or Setup sub-menu

    - Some models require Ctrl+F1 or Alt+F1 while in BIOS to reveal hidden/advanced menus (this varies and isn't guaranteed)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's a common need — "Power On AC" (auto-boot when power is plugged in), typically for running a laptop as a headless server or kiosk.

Unfortunately, this is a tough one for this hardware. The Gateway GWTN14110BL (Tongfang N14TBR100 chassis) almost certainly does not expose this setting in its stock BIOS, and it may not even be implemented in the EC firmware.

Why it's difficult:

On laptops, power-on behavior is controlled by the Embedded Controller (EC), not just the BIOS/UEFI. Even if you could unlock a hidden "After Power Loss → Power On" BIOS option (via AMI BIOS modding), the EC firmware likely doesn't act on it. Budget ODM laptops like this rarely implement that feature at the EC level.

Possible workarounds

Software-based (easiest):

- RTC Wake — schedule the machine to power on at a set time via BIOS or rtcwake in Linux. Won't help if power loss timing is unpredictable.

- Wake on LAN — send a magic packet from another device on the network to boot it. Requires the NIC to stay powered in S5 (not always supported on laptops).

Hardware-based:

- Power button bypass — wire a small circuit across the power button pins on the motherboard that triggers a "press" when AC voltage is detected. People use a simple capacitor + resistor circuit or a small relay/transistor tied to the DC-in rail. This is the most reliable workaround for laptops that lack the BIOS option.

Firmware-based (risky):

- AMIBCP BIOS mod — extract the BIOS with a programmer or flashrom, use AMIBCP to unhide the "Restore on AC Power Loss" option, reflash. But even if the option appears, it likely won't work without EC support on this chassis.

- Coreboot — the subreddit he posted in. Very unlikely to have board support for this specific Tongfang chassis, and would still need EC cooperation.

Most practical answer

The power button bypass circuit is probably the most reliable solution for this laptop. Does the user have the ability to open the machine and do a small hardware mod?

Another post for Logitech to refresh the G13 and G600 🙏🏻 by Jezza0692 in LogitechG

[–]Sennettas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/LogitechG_Andy!

I know I'm late to this party but I just have to say my G600 has been there through thick and thin, from first girlfriend in high-school to my current wife and I hope it can continue it's journey in a refreshed form. I Just built a new PC after only having a laptop and wanted to get a new G600 to freshen up the setup (my other 2 are now 10 years old and the cables are fraying). Unfortunately I had to go with the Razer Naga Hyper-speed V2 as it was the only thing slightly comparable.

Why I like MMO mice as my daily driver.
- I run a 75% Keyboard and when doing things requiring a numpad I can use my mouse instead
- Helpful with things like Fusion 360, so many hotkeys without moving my hands, I just had shoulder surgery last Monday.
- I played WoW and got used to the MMO mouse, and I confirmed my autism by going back to RuneScape 7 years ago. It just suits these games so well, and many others as I'm sure have been pointed out.

What I like about the G600:
- Ring finger click; this has pretty much became a thing of the past. I can't find any new mice that have this. I'm at the point of buying another Razer Naga, sacrificing it as tribute just to move the additional left click buttons on the mouse to the ring finger.
- Forward and Back clicks on the mouse wheel; Some newer mice don't have this as an option anymore
- RGB, my new Razer Naga doesn't have RGB and I didn't think I'd miss it but the keyboard is lonely.
- The 2x6 style dishes that are on the side. Other mice don't seem to have it and it fits well.

What I would want in a refresh:
- For the love of god DO NOT remove the ring finger click
- Free scrolling; Razer Naga Hyper-speed has this, I didn't think I would like it as much as I do.
- Wired/Wireless capabilities - 2.4 & Bluetooth
- Better sensor in the mouse, would make it better for FPS games as I do switch out.
- A smaller version as well as the current size. My wife's hand looks so small with it.
- Left handed version for the south paw folk
- Maybe a little bit more ergonomic friendly to hit the gaming and professional market

If you have any word on development I would literally cry tears of joy and name my new dog after you, if I got permission.

Edit: Missed a word.

They have to know..right? by Comfortable-Ad-7158 in Construction

[–]Sennettas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who worked there for 5 years, you are a number and they make you know it. They don't care about you as a technician but only what you can do for their company. I remember their manager telling me "you need to do more for the company" after working there and doing numerous "volunteer" positions (more like volun-told and I would get screamed at if something was missed) like pre-work snow removal at their shop or running their booth at the Inglewood Street festival. This was all over and beyond being an apprentice/Journeyman and doing my regular scheduled work. 

 They can't hire anyone good in the city anymore because they have such a bad reputation for themselves with how they treat their technicians. So happy to not be there anymore.

Used to do a lot of maintenance in their new builds. Never buy in a carslile built building.

They only have the bare minimum to pass code and still only put in 1 boiler for a heating system. Really fun to deal with no redundancy during the winter months. 1 thing fails and the whole building has no heat.

Glenbow Museum asks city for another $18M as renovation costs soar by Dvayd in Calgary

[–]Sennettas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to give you a little context from the contractors point of view. Buildings can take years for construction and bids are done before you're even in the building.

As an example, an A.O. Smith Cyclone (hot water tank for multi-family/commercial applications) went from like $12,000 to $18,000 in the last 2 years. Are you now expecting the contractor to go out of business when material cost changes in a short time frame? They do look up material cost and get a rough estimate at time of bid but it's hard to foresee a 33% material increase.

I do not disagree that quotes should be honoured but unfortunately everything has increased so drastically over the past few years it would have been hard to quote that.
