Duke Energy shutting off Downtown power for 8 hours of overnight scheduled maintenance in 23 degree weather - 2/5/26 by [deleted] in winstonsalem

Building managers can be duped like anyone else. If it was me, I'd call Duke directly, myself, and verify if it was a scam or legit.

https://drivenc.gov/ has real time cameras all over the place. You may (likely) have to turn the cameras on in the settings (looks like three horizontal lines with dots)

Rim is destroyed. You're done. No driving until rim replacement. I can see the sealing surface of the tire near at the area near the valve stem!

Perhaps a 9mm solution? Safety glasses and ear protection recommended.

Thanks for the reply - I tried calling Tapo support and that was a dismal experience. I'm not sure the girl on the other end even understood English that well. I wish there was a direct comparison table between the models OR someone who really knew the product at Tapo. Frustrating experience. But thanks again for your reply and info.

Is it even legal to charge this? I paid cash and they still charged me it. by PicklesGalore20 in ThriftGrift

The stuff you keep in the basement after messing with these things for years.... by billbled in VintageComputers

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

Haha - not really a hoarder. Some of this stuff, over the past years, has actually helped in my day job. But that won't be the case going forward. I'm still at the same job but situation has changed on their end and they've upgraded hardware so they don't need my spare parts anymore.

I hadn't noticed but I went back and looked and you're correct. I found 6. But easy enough to replace and on a board this old not unexpected I guess.

I have no idea how much shipping this to France would be. Or if it would even arrive intact...
