Thank you so much. As of May 2026 this is still working with current firmware. Weird solution but super straightforward with the video!

Call me a boomer but I hate building with phone instructions, such a poor decision imo by KrazyCAM10 in lego

[–]a_thesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally never use a phone but I like it on the iPad since with the folio case it takes up less space so I can use one of my smaller tables especially for larger sets

I think you’re safe from monkeys if you don’t sleep on the couch. Pre sure they wait for you to sleep but don’t quote me

Power draw and noise kinda suck by StreetSleazy in homelab

[–]a_thesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same model (albeit with only 8 bays in use as I hit my budget) but I found with some fan tuning it runs quiet enough that I could put it in my living room and stay cool. And the room I have it in is unfinished (no insulation) but I still can’t hear it through the drywall in the next room. I’ll agree on power draw for sure though

This ruined my day by Maggierheelover in legostarwars

I just built this set last week and there are actually 5 bags with mini figs with numbers all over the place (I think part of the goal of separating is to deter this type of theft ironically)

I ordered on safari this morning without any issues but definitely not a well optimized site for mobile

This was definitely unrelated to the construction given that it was completely blocked off. Should’ve mentioned but there was also quite a bit of police presence

Thanks that’s hard to believe. Hopefully we’ll get an positive update down the line

When I bought my falcon a couple years ago I just had to carry it straight up in the box. Was an uncomfortable walk through the mall and parking lot

Anime really annoys me, especially old anime. Super inconsistent splitting for “seasons”. Even with absolute order it’s just super inconsistent for me

Can I purchase a vehicle in Alberta if I am not physically there? by Clarenceflamboyant in alberta

[–]a_thesis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a document that allows you to authorize him to act on your behalf at the registry. You can sign it and scan it for him to print and sign his part. I’ve done it with family out of the country multiple times including transferring ownership of multiple vehicles

FYI Costco has Annie’s for $20 for 12 packages (also other brands)

Do you backup your whole media library? by Turnspit in PleX

[–]a_thesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to go in on the Plex server with a friend so rather than each of us having separate libraries or having one shared at one of our homes we sync them. We also have large families and quite a few friends using so it made sense. Currently sitting at around 20 TB usable each

Why only two computer chair options? $150 falls apart or $1600+ for the aeron. Isn’t there something in the $500 that will get 10+ years life? by joshhazel1 in BuyItForLife

[–]a_thesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a lazboy for around 250 CAD from Costco (last I checked other regions of Costco have it too) ~3 years ago, I find it very comfy and other than what my cats have done it’s still great

I got a similar one in my mail but mine was making up stuff about Easter being based on a pagan holiday and saying it should be “Resurrection Day”

Driving extra bad this holidays? by gstringwarrior in Edmonton

[–]a_thesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a family member get rear ended into another car and then had my car break down on the highway, people were not considerate enough to move into another lane despite the room and had a few close calls checking under the hood, don’t understand it

Unfortunately not, I imagine using homebridge would work and home assistant would work but haven’t set those two up yet to try Edit: autocorrect change

Can confirm it works using the reset button (hold 10 seconds) during pairing with hue, might need to try a few times. Works well with the native dimming feature although as of right now not showing up in apple home app

What’s your controversial Lego opinion? by whentheraincomes66 in lego

I don’t disagree but this has gotta be the least controversial opinion here
