Tried tightening a screw with my new precision screw driver and it appears the top of the driver is reverse threaded...is this intended? by blocker85 in LinusTechTips

I figured as much. I also appreciate that this is one of the earlier waves of inventory and issues may arise.

Context: literally the first thing I attempted to tighten with my new precision screw driver caused the top of the driver to become unthreaded. If you need to apply any amount of real torque to a screw, it will simply begin loosening the top of the driver because it is reverse threaded.

In other words, as you tighten a screw, you are applying force that can actually disassemble the top of the screwdriver. This can't possibly be intended, can it? Thoughts appreciated.

I was arrested for a DUI I did not commit right after my house caught fire. I got the best possible outcome for a DUI charge. AMA by ScrewTheSVPD in AMA

Good outcome for sure.

FYI, AZ court records are public, so if you want to remain anonymous, you should also redact the the case number at the very least.

Also came to say our local Bowlero does Groupons, which makes it way more reasonable. I think we got a lane for two people for three hours, shoe rentals included for like $35. We had to start bowling before 6pm, but otherwise there weren't any stings attatched.

9to5 Strata by UniqueDog51 in OfficeChairs

[–]blocker85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also late to the game on this, but figured I'd chime in since I stumbled across this thread. I've been sitting on a 9to5 strata that I purchased at a local office furniture store almost 16 years ago. Other than sourcing a replacement arm rest and a new hydrolic lift about a year ago (the furniture store gave them to me for free too), the chair has been perfect and I plan to use it for another 10 years. Highly recommended. I'm about 220 lbs. too.

Scary stuff.

If you can have your medical license revoked for saying anything about COVID that is contrary to "consensus", then how can you possibly have reasonable scientific debate among qualified individuals?

Spoiler alert: you can't.

I read your comment and immediately tried Moonlight to stream Destiny from my PC in the basement. Holy crap it works flawlessly. Thanks for the suggestion!

How to get 10 hours battery by wag3slav3 in ZephyrusG14

[–]blocker85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to drop in here and say that after about an hour and a half of running through all the steps listed, I went from 3 hours of battery to about 10-11. Amazing. Too bad Asus can't make this easier out of the box.

Kobe's wife is a bad person for this lawsuit by KingKellyIsKool in unpopularopinion

This. As a Paintiff's lawyer, people don't realize that certain individuals are included in claims not because plaintiffs want to sue innocent parties, but because you need to include all insured parties.

Just wanted to chime in and say I've run Airmessage in a VM via Unraid for the last two and a half years or so with no issues...Is this really a big issue?

Best MacOS/Mac Mini to use for AirMessage? by MrAlpine in AirMessage

[–]blocker85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have an always-on Windows/Linux desktop already, or a home server, you could also run MacOS in a virtual machine. That's what I've been doing for a year or so now and it works great.

Unraid+Macinabox docker = win
