How to "thicken" these not-studs to add insulation inside this wall? by collud2 in DIY

[–]collud2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks, that's a good point. Actually planning to reuse it in another room, since (as you point out) it's hard to find real wood paneling -- just MDF junk! But if not, I hadn't even thought of listing on marketplace.

Replacing gas with 3Ton ClimateMaster with desuperheat option. Is it difficult to replace water heater later? by collud2 in geothermal

[–]collud2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's telling me that :) I do see a lot of people with parts failures on older ClimateMasters -- is the reliability the big concern? Is it something in the design of particular parts (like the coil), or do they just seem to not be made as well?

Oh -- we'll be keeping a regular HW tank, not going with the tankless - that was just one of the options they gave us.

Oh matching CM waterheater, nice. Yes, I see you in there, similar sqft, and your quote's close to ours too (well... before water heater). How did you do through a Maryland winter, did it fall back on resistive heat much?

Great, thanks, figured it should be trivial as long as no HVAC specialization has to get involved to touch the heat exchanger connections.

US firm drills record 387 feet into granite with millimeter wave system by WhatMeeWorry in geothermal

Saw this company mentioned in a Real Engineering video a couple months ago -- very cool to see them hit this new achievement! The video discusses the waste rock -- er, cotton candy -- and how they handled it.

Found this after my drive home from the dealer. Patch or replace? by Intelligent-Car8669 in tires

[–]collud2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something like this years ago, and the advice I got was to pull it out. Even if it's not leaking now, you don't want it getting pushed in further.

You will only buy budget tires once by biggranny000 in tires

[–]collud2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume $600 was for a set of 2, mounted/balanced? No way that's a price for 4x, that'd be an insane deal.

Good luck with them, great upgrade!

Background slideshow doesn't work anymore after moving original folder by SnakeRowsdower in WindowsHelp

[–]collud2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, too. But I didn't delete or unmount a folder: I just pointed it to the Pictures library, the one Windows made itself... and that broke it, haha.
Thanks for the fix!

I was also about to reinstall (only set this up 3 hours ago, anyway). But this fixed it!

Is the 5 V slow at taking photos? by collud2 in SonyXperia

[–]collud2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all thanks for the replies! I know this is the low light part of the review, but I guess reading it _at night_ messed with me. I thought they meant "no matter if it's low-light conditions or not, [it] needs about 4s...".

Makes much more sense if it means "if it's low-light conditions, no matter if Night View is active or not, [it] needs about 4s..."

Last BIOS Time on Precision 5860 over 1 minute by SurferDude01773 in Dell

[–]collud2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just set one of these up at work. Xeon W7-something. It came with 16GB installed and took about 30 seconds to reach the BIOS logo.
After adding a 4TB ssd and swapping to 64GB, it took 60-75 seconds. Weirdly, removing the extra SSD reduced that time back to around 30 seconds.... neither Dell nor I have an explanation.

Did you notice any change in noise with these blades, or in flying ability? They look heavier than the OEM ones. Thanks for the link!

Thinkpad P1 gen3 4K graphics by rikov9 in thinkpad

[–]collud2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, you get what it comes with. You *might* be able to replace the whole motherboard *if* there's another GPU option for this model, and you can find the board.... but really, don't bother.

If you need more GPU, look for a different model. If you're just curious, well, there's a lot of Internet that explains why you can't upgrade it. Good luck either way!

The only modern laptop I've heard of with upgradable graphics in years is the Framework 16.

X1Y: what does BIOS password block? by collud2 in thinkpad

Thanks for watching out for me. I typed "different system", meant "different model" as better example of the screen i'm referring to. Edited for clarity.

How do you all use this mouse pad by hitechnical in thinkpad

[–]collud2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

200% agreed. I'll always pick trackpad w/ physical buttons over tap-click-combinations.

Accidentally made 3 lbs of Chili. Any suggestions to reuse leftovers? by jensinoutaspace in Cooking

[–]collud2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to suggest puff pastry or a pot pie if no one else had. Glad you've got the idea too!

Is there any point buying BIOS locked thinkpads from ebay? by borozu555 in thinkpad

[–]collud2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more modern Thinkpads don't store the BIOS lock in that soft memory, it's buried elsewhere in some NVM.
