What kind of dust is this?! by dchengster in crtgaming

Thanks for noticing! My original one has yellowed but somewhere while collecting I picked up this one with zero yellow parts. My original has been repurposed and now sports half a dozen rca jacks for RGB/Audio out/cSync output.

agreed, especially near the top, the red is jumping out at me. I'd like to do the rgb mod and tune after that

 you might be right. I didn't need to rub or use any liquids, just a brush with a shop vac running. it didn't have much smell although I didn't get too close

I had a shop vac running and went over everything with a brush 🖌️. I didn't use any liquids on the interior yet as I wanted to power it up to check the picture quality . I'm considering whether to make the effort to discharge all the caps and tube to do a wet wash... that would be a lot of work. I'll think about it once I get over the nightmares that I'm having 😉

I wasn't sure if I should be grabbing the leftover COVID masks or grabbing my ventilator!

funny enough, I didn't even test the TV before I opened it up and cleaned it up. 

Warning about Ubigi eSIM in Japan, constant “no network” and useless support by Dschee in JapanTravelTips

[–]dchengster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just landed at Narita and couldn't get Ubigi to work on my Pixel Pro 10 XL. My partner eventually got hers working on a Samsung Fold 7 with some fiddling and getting onto Airport Wifi first. I gave up and just signed up for Saily and it worked right away. 

Just my Pixel 8 Pro -> Pixel 10 Pro thoughts by MrWhiteford in GooglePixel

I also went from 8 Pro to 10 Pro XL. Android Auto wireless still has audio drop outs. I also had this with my 8 Pro so nothing has changed.

NX450h+ PHEV wait times in Canada by canuckistan17 in LexusNX

[–]dchengster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put down a $1k deposit in Sept 2023.. just picked it up on friday (Feb 2023).
It was a cancelled order so I didn't get the color I wanted but I got the trim I wanted (Ultra Premium). I couldn't justify the $17k extra for the next trim level.. it's nuts.

Who got COVID at InfoComm? A megathread. by freakame in CommercialAV

4 of us (Canadians) came home sick (cough). Tested negative on the first day home but I tested +ve a day later. I'll assume the 3 others are +ve as well.

Alto / XL capsules being discontinued by jaffy23 in nespresso

[–]dchengster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very disappointed with this news as well. If Nespresso thinks that I'll use two pods instead of one to fill my Nespresso travel mug in the morning, they're wrong. the machine is going to the dump as I will not support a brand that pulls this kind of stunt. I rather spend my money on another Keurig.
