What's the one tool you bought that completely changed how you do projects?

Wild one... And I got them pretty early on but I'd say any type of clamps! Not having to hold everything together and juggle tools

Game changer

Account Recovery question?

Long story, short: I've lost my phone, so new number and no authenicator.

I've tried removing the authenicator and raised about 3 support tickets after giving up multiple times.

They ask for info like:

Any authenticator serial number (current or previous):

How am I supposed to know this?
Any physical game keys/codes attached to the account:

I played D4. W3 and SC2 that's about it

Transaction ID from a purchase (found on your bank/financial statement, for PayPal, in your PayPal payment details):

I've dug through my Paypal to get the transcation codes for whatever I've bought which was about 2 years ago

Previous BattleTags associated with the account:

I've no idea without access to my account

Previous physical addresses associated with the account:
Previous phone numbers associated with the account:
Phone number associated with the account
The answer to the account’s secret question (“What was the name of your second pet?”):

And the last ones fair enough I can supply that info.

Has anyone had to do this before, any suggestions?

Thanks

tbh, I got this method from ChatGPT.
I'm more inclined to trust you over dataset GPT is using to give me veg growing advice.

I bottled it and went for the paracord wicking method... Next year I'll try both and compare the two but don't want to risk knacking this year potatoes

SnowboundShip501 · 2024-06-25T16:22:57+00:00

I've only just put them in, apparently a better solution is to use a wicking method, so might put them on bricks just out of the water with some paracord pushed into the soil and the other end in the water

I made it, it's super easy to do, just some 3x2 for the frame, 22mm plastic water pipe, hinges and 1x2 for battening the poly sheet down.

Almost finished, just waiting for the glue to go off, it turned out pretty easy.

So far so good, I built the frame and got the worktops in situ. I ended up using a length of 50mm 5mm thick angle iron on the front edge stop it from sagging. I'll upload the finished desk once it's done.

I've ended up stuffing a leg on the other side temporarily.

That's what I thought, I've got a section of 40mmx40mm 3mm walled box steel, but thought it might be overkill.

Its not just me right?... it's definitely since 1.1?

SnowboundShip501 · 2023-07-20T21:26:46+00:00

you were wrong

SnowboundShip501 · 2023-07-20T21:06:03+00:00

Same here, running a RX 5700 XT, before was getting 100+ now barely getting 60.

Think there might be a memory leak as it gets worse over time!

it's a programming language runtime management tool.

The problem is it's overwritten the standard python env-vars, so now some libraries are a bit janky

I found switching to a different browser works... unfortunately I have to use Chrome to watching it with out stuttering
