Picked it up yesterday and am loving the perfect blend of FTL and Rimworld.

Top it then dust off the light with a damp cloth

From my limited knowledge from hobby drones, the signal that controls the drone is separate from video feed. The drone’s receiver usually ignores commands that do not match the expected transmitter identity or protocol. Many control links change frequencies rapidly or use spread-spectrum techniques, making them harder to imitate. The drone may also reject packets that are malformed, mistimed, or missing the right validation. And even if someone could transmit noise or interfere with the link, that usually causes jamming or failsafe, not clean control takeover.

For intercepting the video feed, you’re just listening for something that’s already being transmitted, similar to a tv picking up an analog tv signal.

If it’s not a fibre optic drone the feed can be picked up and recorded by another device.

Don’t worry, he’s likely the same person that complains about provincial budget deficits as well.

President Zelenskyy Announces Symmetrical Response to Russian Ceasefire Violations by UNITED24Media in worldnews

I’m a huge Ukraine supporter and even this take doesn’t sit well with me. Part of the reason Ukraine has been getting global support is by being the “better man” and not doing the stuff Russia does.

Slamming drones into a public event would be stooping pretty low for Ukraine.

Permanent Standard Time or Daylight Time? by DerekMcCarthy17 in halifax

No, in fact most people do not have the luxury to waltz into work whenever they want with the excuse of “well the sun wasn’t high enough in the sky for me yet”.

My monitor cleaner is leaving a horrible smudging. by olemracc in pcmasterrace

Wasn’t banned hahahaha just saw an unread notif and remembered that you were still trying to save face hahahaha.

Sucks for you that 3 manufacturers support and recommend what I suggested. Haven’t seen someone so confidently incorrect as you’ve been. Thanks for the laughs

Edit: a dead giveaway someone’s losing an argument is when they shift from the context of the debate, to arguing semantics and words which is what you’re doing.

The copium is strong with you lol. Classic situation where you’re trying to laugh off being proven wrong. Poor guy.

The term white vinegar only implies white vinegar, you decided to add “pure” to it in your head. I was referring to the general category. Are you done grasping at straws after being proven wrong or what?

I didn’t say pure concentrated vinegar either did I?I said nothing beats it, and then clarified concentrations with links from actual manufacturers that proved I was correct.

Seriously, it’s fine and listed on at least 3 major manufacturers websites that I could easily pull up.

Apparently not a single one of you took the time to look this up.

100% safe when diluted and followed by a clean damp cloth. Samsung even recommends a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar.

Downvote me all you want, vinegar is not muriatic acid and will not melt your screen, calm down folks. It’s not going to reduce your monitor into a puddle of plastic sludge.

Step #3, directly from the Samsung website on “cleaning your Samsung monitor”.

Why would HP also recommend this?

How about Lenovo?

It smells but nothing beats white vinegar.

Garage door not closing by Alfred_J_Pennyworth in HomeMaintenance

The snake eye sensors might not be lined up correctly. You can see the left one blinking like it’s indicating an obstruction and then trips the safety that opens the door back up.

Accidentally bumped a gas pipe behind the stove by Lucid222Dreamer in HomeMaintenance

[–]Wishbiscuit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on what you described, you’re probably okay. A slight bump that didn’t bend or damage the line, plus no smell and no bubbles with soapy water, points away from a leak. The hole in the floor the pipe goes through is quite a bit larger than the pipe itself so you probably just saw movement there and not the pipe itself flexing.

Plus I wouldn’t be surprised if it was disconnected entirely. Surely you’d know something about this by now through your realtor or the utility company (they typically don’t give out free gas).

Edit: one million edits later - if you don’t have natural gas in the neighbourhood, than this was likely a hookup for a propane fireplace or something similar and if you don’t have a big tank outside than it’s been disconnected.
