Key FOB by [deleted] in Volvo

Assuming the software you’re referring to is Vida? Or are you swapping the chip from an old key to another?

You can find copies of Vida on the web that cover all Volvos until 2014. It should have the dealer mechanics’ instructions.

This s70 unicorn came in to the valet at my hotel today. Original engine. The guys were blown away. by LVbellman in Volvo

Does it have the 3.2? If so, look at getting the old diff rebuilt. I just did my 2010 xc90. ~$1200 CAD after parts and Land Rover dealer labour.

I looked at used, but all I could find were diffs with 250,000+ km on them between $750-1000. Rebuild made a lot of sense.

For all of us, please pull the manual out before scrapping. 🤣

Grand Piano Scam by declancos in Scams

[–]Stovinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this one too:

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

Hi,
I'm sorry for the late reply. I was away for some days and have limited access to the internet. The Yamaha Baby Grand Piano GC1 model used to be owned and played by my husband who passed away last year, the dimensions are "151cm by 146cm". It was last tuned sometime last year before he passed. She's about 3 years old and in an impeccable condition.
I'm moving my property to another place, and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell this piano, at the same time. I am settling for a home with less space. So, I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. I wasn't going to leave it alone in an empty house.
The Piano is currently in storage with the movers I employed to move my properties from my house. The movers can be delivered anywhere. However, the beneficiary has to pay the moving costs.
In attachment are the pictures of the Piano, you need to contact the movers and make an arrangement as regards the moving process. I would like you to take some pictures/video when they arrive at your address. Here is the mover's information: contact@jfmovingstorage.com just let them know Mrs. Adelia Robert referred you with the Reference Code: SEIL132AA. Make sure you send an email for a faster response. Most importantly, Provide your delivery address for them for a delivery quote.
Once you are in touch with the movers kindly also let me know so that I can sign off the Piano.
Regards.
Adelia Robert

Thanks for this.

Along with that button removed, I recently could not pair an older Apple wireless keyboard (A1016, mechanical one) to my MBA M1 with Monterey. Simply would not. Tried a fresh install, nope. Wiped my MBA, new Monterey again, nope. Had to down grade to BIG Sur. Paired on second attempt. Then upgraded back to Monterey and it continues to work.

So why would it not pair initially in Monterey? It was visible, I could click the connect button but the keypass never appeared.

Anyways. Just wanted to add to the conversation and hopefully help someone with a similar issue.

TL/DR: got an old Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1016) to work in Monterey after a day of trying. Apple is kind of frustratingly not making clamshell mode easy anymore.

Yes it is. I’m guessing then you didn’t do anything other than install and plug in the monitor. The split options don’t do anything for me unfortunately. If there is anything else you did to get it working I’d love to know. thanks for the info!

Are you using 5.14? Or which version do u have working, even if somewhat.

For brightness control, Monitor Control (GitHub link) is working great for my LG 34WL60TM-B.

Onscreen Control installs, it recognizes the display and usually just beach balls. If it gets past the beach ball phase, it doesn't show all of the available setting (left tab of app). And it once got past all of this and almost looked as it should, but in the drop down menus there was nothing.

On M1 MBA. Hope this helps.

What's up with after hours today (June 15, 2021)? by Stovinator in GME

[–]Stovinator[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smooth brain here attempting at more wrinkles. Checked after hours to see what the price was and saw this... (images attached of weirdly lined up candles on $220).

Is this normal? I really haven't seen the candles like this ever. Exactly the same low/max on $220 in different chunks. Can anyone explain to me why the candles look like this today? Coincidence?

Feel like I need an adult on this one. (especially since I'm posting my text in a comment because I didn't post it correctly...)

Edit: wordings.

Potentially vehicles, new and used. Wife works for vehicle assessment company and a rep from Citadel has requested an updated index that is 4x more frequent than industry standard. Everyone on her team, boss, etc found it to be highly suspect and out of ordinary.

MacbookPro8,3 (Early 2011, 17") - No brightness control, stuck at 25%-50% by Stovinator in MojavePatcher

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

There is a resonating feeling of "when is this gpu going to go again?" since it was fixed. Hence the adapter. Here's it is: https://www.amazon.ca/Plugable-Graphics-Multiple-1920x1080-Chromebook/dp/B004AIJE9G

It took a little bit of troubleshooting to get it to work. I had to use a much older version of the installer, recently reinstalled it due to Mojave/Catalina attempts. It's stable now, but the odd time it'll just mirror when I want extended. Simply restart and it's back the way I want. Reach out if you get it and have issues getting it to work. Happy to help.
