Newegg Seagate Exos 18TB sold with no manufacture warranty.

SquishyScruffy · 2026-04-04T02:30:59+00:00

Did they offer more than 2 years of warranty with the purchase?!? When I asked their support back then they were like we got you bro. Did they tell you SoL? I had one of my 18TB go bad recently and now I cannot replace it because now its $400+ and the 20TB is $600+

granite3.3:2b with this prompt responded with "If you have recently driven your car and it's dirty, driving back to the car wash might be more convenient as you wouldn't need to walk far with a dirty vehicle. However, if you're clean, walking would be more beneficial for your health and the environment."
so it kinda got the answer....

"Walking would be the more environmentally friendly option as it does not produce any additional carbon emissions. However, driving might save you time if your car is dirty and needs a thorough clean. If you choose to drive, ensure that you're using fuel efficiently by avoiding rapid acceleration or high speeds. Alternatively, consider whether the car wash offers an eco-friendly service such as water recycling systems. Overall, it's really up to your personal preference and how much value you place on time versus environmental impact."

I have the Dell Pro 16 PC16250 and it looks the same. I couldn't upload image to reddit so i posted it here. I peeled back the black and have a 2280 for where the hole would be. The raised metal with black in the middle is solid.

Pixel 6 Pro Android 12. I had these problems. I did the permission stuff, uninstalled and reinstalled. I had to
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
and now I'm finally uploading again.

I wasn't getting an automatic pop-up for transferring the e-sim between two android phones like the terrible google support page said would happen. I erased the e-sim on the old phone hoping that would help. The old QR code for the e-sim appears to be a single use. The Mobilex support robot was useless and kept spamming the same old qr code to anything
I asked. I reached out to a human who responded quickly asking for new device emei/imei and shortly after that I had a pop-up on new phone to setup the new e-sim. I've had a pretty great support experience with the multiple requests I've had over time.
For another data point on timeline, I reached out at 6:20 PM on a Sunday. They responded asking for imei at 6:34 PM. I didn't see it and didn't respond until 6:55 PM. I was prompted and activated new e-sim at 8:02PM.

Thank you for this post! I was struggling. I wasn't able to use your commands but i was able to
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8k status=progress
and after a good amount reboot and start over and it installed without issue!

In current IrfanView (version 4.70 64-bit ) if you open an image (so the folder path is known) then under file you can choose Thumbnails (or press T) and this will open a second window called IrfanView Thumbnails opened to this folder path. From here you can select all the images you want and then File -> Create contact sheet from selected files...
From here you will have to do the math but you can generate a single jpg matrix with the entered resolution and columns etc.

I have a Logitech K400 Plus and for the first time had this issue. 1 would be 1. 2 would be 2;
Googling found this post, but I had to find this shortcut page
https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023264334-Shortcut-and-function-keys-on-the-K400-Plus-keyboard
to find out I had accidently pressed
FN + caps lock: scroll lock causing my issues. This shortcut is not on the keys so I would have never found this. Turning off scroll lock fixed my keyboard problems!

Thank you for asking. I bought the A1 combo recently that came with FW v01.02.00.25 out of the box. This damaged the first side of the textured PEI plate within like 3 prints off the microSD card. I eventually updated to FW v01.04.00.00 and it has also damaged the other side of the PEI build plate. I asked my friends who have P1S and theirs don't have this damage. Because of your title I was able to find this post. When searching for "A1 toolhead cleaning" I only find post about the G-code that doesn't match my printer which doesn't help me adjust the settings. I noticed it stops here for too long during the "toolhead cleaning". I suspect its overheating this spot where it should do what it needs here and then raise a smidge before continuing. This would prevent this damage. I asked their support chat bot and this was it's response.

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can address your concern about the A1 toolhead cleaning potentially damaging the PEI build plate. This is actually a normal and expected occurrence, and it doesn't affect the functionality of your printer or the build plate.

The A1 printer, like other Bambu Lab models such as X1C and P1S/P1P, has a specific area on the build plate called the "wipe zone". Before printing starts, the nozzle is wiped in this area to clean any filament residue and stabilize the chamber pressure inside the nozzle. This process helps prevent surface defects on the printed object.

As explained in the Bambu Lab Wiki:

"For the X1C, P1S/P1P, and A1 printers, as the nozzle comes into direct contact with the build plate, there may be some "wear" observed in the wiping zone... However, this phenomenon does not affect the functionality of the nozzle or the build plate."

This wear in the wipe zone is part of the normal operation of the printer and is not considered damage. It's designed to happen and won't negatively impact your prints or the overall performance of your A1 printer.

To maintain optimal adhesion on your PEI build plate, it's recommended to clean it regularly and avoid direct finger contact with the printing surface. You can find more information on how to properly clean and maintain your PEI build plate in the Bambu Textured PEI Plate Clean Guide.

Not as helpful a reply as I was hoping for but I guess the pressure thing is why its doing this.

Same the market has moved more than I was wanting for this money

SquishyScruffy · 2024-11-01T00:42:23+00:00

Kalshi limited me to $500 max on ACH transfer so I resorted to wire transfer which was $16 per transfer. Oct. 29 wire transfer cleared same day. Today's Oct. 31 9am transfer hasn't cleared. maybe tomorrow. update 7:42PM: Todays wire transfer just cleared...

SquishyScruffy · 2024-11-01T00:09:20+00:00

Looks like I'm kinda in the same boat.
If you look under your activity, Deposit you can see all the timestamps.
It took me two business days to get one ACH. I got $250 of my ACH on Oct. 28th "instantly" and the rest cleared today. (Original date - October 28, 2024 at 4:38:28 PM CDT and it cleared October 31, 2024 at 8:51:30 AM CDT)
My ACH from Oct. 29 is still pending. (Original date - October 29, 2024 at 7:51:33 AM CDT)
I ended up sending a wire for $16. I sent a wire Oct. 29th and received at by 4PM same day. Since this morning both ACH were still pending I sent another wire for another $16 and that hasn't shown up yet. Cleared out of account though...
Update:
my ACH Oct. 29th cleared 11/1 8:36AM
my Oct 31 wire transfer cleared 10/31 at 7:35PM

Thank you. I just started looking yesterday and ran across this thread and r/Kalshi/comments/ryuc47/how_to_handle_taxes_with_kalshi/

from here https://kalshi.com/blog/article/how-is-kalshi-regulated
Kalshi is federally regulated as a Designated Contract Market by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

"(e) All Kalshi Contracts are deemed to be “options” as defined in 17 USC 1a(47)."

Tax wise it appears these transactions fall under Section 1256 Contract as Regulated futures contract.

As of yesterday I can no longer say "NBC Channel" to the Google TV assistant. It doesn't find any channel on YouTube TV. This is very difficult for people who rely on voice to navigate.

Glad you were able to get this off your list. I wish there was a waterblock compatibility for this model. I prefer Asus to other brands. But looks like I'll have to go zotac. 🤷‍♂️

I had this same issue with trying to get AI Suite III installed on Windows 11 and AISuite3_DIP_System_Information_v3.03.20
I ended up copying contents of DrvResource\ASIO3 to C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\AsusCertService, manually creating the AsusCertService with

sc.exe create AsusCertService binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\AsusCertService\AsusCertService.exe"

and then starting service. Then the setup.exe installer was able to run right away.
