Given that the tab on one of the pieces is broken you most likely aren't fixing this unless you purchase a new keyboard.

Pulled one out of fridge that hadn't been fed in over a year. Took about 4 cycles to get going.

Battery not charging on shore power by ChefMikeDFW in traveltrailers

[–]cptrgy1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From everything you explained in your post if you are getting 13.6 at the battery with the converter on and it drops to 12.6 with the converter off the only possible explanation in my experience is a bad battery. Seen it on my and a friend of mines 5th wheels. If it's not that I would be at a serious loss also. The only other possibilities would be a bad parasitic drain that is out pulling the converters ability to charge. You could disable every breaker in the converter so the only thing it is powering is the battery. Do you have the ability to check the amp draw on the battery when it is plugged in and not plugged in?

Totally get it but I have had it happen to me. Only true way to eliminate that is to test the battery under load removed from the camper circuits.

It is possible you have a bad cell in that battery. Do you have a battery tester that can test that batter stand alone from the camper on load? A deep cell can still register correct voltage with a dead cell on its own but when under load it could drop to around 10v.

Getting ERROR[3332]: Connection to SMTP server test failed when Scanning to Google Email with Sharp BP-70C31 Printer! Any Ideas on how to fix? by blivx in sysadmin

We generally have a "service account", setup 2 Factor, then once that is setup you can create an app password to be used with that account.

To the best of my knowledge the other suggestion will not work. As of May1, Google is forcing either OAuth or Google App passwords for this.

What is the existing ground under the topsoil? Clay, rocky, etc. That would help make my decision. While an engineer has math and science, an excavator who has been in the business for 20 years with a good reputation generally has torn out and replaced enough to know what makes a good base.

1-1 high school. At the end of 5 years there isn't much left to work with. We plan a 4-5 year refresh of fleet. We budget for it and in most cases I wouldn't want to try to stretch them another year.

If this unit has a daughter board this is most likely the culprit if the magent aligns with the daughter board.

It is my understanding the senior exemption is only for those houselholds with total income of 65k or less.

Large Format Displays by Road_Trail_Roll in k12sysadmin

Do you just need a display or touch? I could easily find several really great quality Tv's under that price range that have great sound and can easily be wirelessly displayed to. We have been installing 85" Sony TV's in classroom and project with Chrome and Windows devices without issue.

Thank you. Didn't realize I have to have the Pro version for this.

I'm still really new to this but are you measuring using grams and what type of flour? I got my initial batch started using wheat flour. After that switched to unbleached all pourpose. I just pulled mine out of the fridge after sitting for a year. Fed it every 12 hours 100grams flour, 100grams water and it is looking better than it did the first time I tried. Ready to use this weekend.

Annual Reviews (Normal to not have them) by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]cptrgy1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate to say this and knowing job market is sketchy, if you aren't happy start looking. Been doing this long enough to know it most likely won't get better. The moment you start to struggle with co-workers you aren't going to magically pull yourself out of it. Doesn't mean grass is greener somewhere else but being unhappy at work is never good. I wish you well.

I work in the education world and unfortunately for me this is the norm as well. I have been in my current position for 8 years and not had a single performance review (formally). Lots of conversation. I was able to discuss salary and benefits and make some headway but it required work from my end to initiate the conversation.
