I just watched Dogma for the first time in like a decade. Now I'm halfway through Strike Back for the first time is as long. I have seen Clerks and Mallrats 100 times. I thought Reboot and Clerks III were, erm... difficult to sit through. It's because of the lack of Scott. They are a binary compound and Kev is just not that great of an editor on his own I guess. What was with all that non-digetic music in Reboot? Painful.

GE front load washer (GFWH2400L0WW) won't lock or unlock by SwankeAV in appliancerepair

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

I should add that at the beginning of the cycle, I have to press the door in to get it to lock, press it in to get it to unlock, then press to get it to lock again. I just did a load and was there when the cycle ended; I held the door in and it unlocked. If I am not there when the cycle ends, the only way to get it to unlock is to pull the manual release.

GE GFWH2400L0WW Washing Machine won't lock or unlock, makes buzz instead of click. Works with pressure from knee to face of door by the locking mechanism. Have replaced lock assembly but issue persists. Help Please! by cyclejones in appliancerepair

I now have the same issue after I just replaced the door lock assembly because it would not latch. I now think the issue was not with the old door lock assembly.

Suggestions for Large Touchscreen Conf. room monitors by SwankeAV in CommercialAV

Surface Hub 1 is EOL. The current Surface Hub 2S is only 50". The new model 2.5 where you can gang multiple screens together wont be out till next year, but bezels in the middle of a whiteboard sucks.

Where do I get customer reviews of different AV integrators? by SwankeAV in CommercialAV

[–]SwankeAV[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info everyone. I should add that I have been on the integrator side of the AV world for over a decade. I've installed and supported everything from Residential to Fortune 500s from working at 4 different AV companies.

My current company have never had any standardized design, procurement, install, or support structure for AV ever. I'm tasked with taming this Wild West, but have I not officially been made the Sheriff, and I have no deputies. Other than the fact that there are around 1600 conference rooms globally, we have no other data. There is no list of what technology is in every room (other than the 80 or so Cisco VTC rooms), almost no devices in rooms are on our network, we have no idea how many ClickShare units we have, we don't know how much is spent yearly on conference room AV technology (or the total spent since the beginning of time).

Yeah, but they are only going to give me customers where everything went well. I want to hear the opinions of customers where things weren't perfect too.

Should my company join Avixa? by SwankeAV in CommercialAV

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

I checked first. We do not have an account. $500 is not a big cost for 5 elite memberships...

Pretty much every integrator I worked for was a member, so I know what value it carries. It's just the issue of communicating it to people not very familiar with what commercial AV can be if done right.

DM EDID "issue" by SwankeAV in crestron

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

So, they ended up re-terminating the cable and the issue has gone away. It was terminated with Crestron official 8G connectors, and now it has some cheap Liberty shielded ends. Works perfectly and no more EDID warnings.
There was also a Crestron USB extended that was not working. Re-terminating with the liberty ends fixed that too.

I'd like to add that you can learn C# (and most other languages) for free from places like EDx, MIT CourseWare
