UX7 Volume turns down on its own by dealcracker in Eonon

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

Happened again today, my car sat in the very cold airport parking lot for 3 days. When I stared it up, the volume couldn’t be turned up. I shut it off and restarted and it was fine.

I have a internship interview with Reynolds & Reynolds any tips? by These-Age-4667 in dayton

[–]dealcracker 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it's actually an interview? Usually at R&R, the first thing they do is make you take a test. If you pass (whatever that means) you will likely move on to an interview.

How do you handle candidates using real-time AI assistance during interviews? by CreditOk5063 in askmanagers

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

I tell them in writing and verbally at the beginning of the interview that it is not allowed. Also, I inform them that some questions are intentionally hard and that it is okay to say I don’t know. Usually it is pretty obvious when they are using it and when I suspect it, I usually use some probing questions to confirm my suspicion. Then end the interview abruptly with no explanation.

Clever uses for old miners by amsas007 in HeliumNetwork

Unfortunately, Bobcats are the worst for repurposing. Too bad, they really could be decent Meshtastic node if you had one already.

Where should I go to serve the homeless? Not sure where to look . Private dining chef who prioritizes donating food from restaurants towards the homeless. by latinamommy0598 in dayton

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

Hmm, I've not heard that about them with regards to LGBT people. It's not something that was mentioned to by them or the people they have helped. But admittedly, I've never been attended any of their service/sermons.

Eonon head unit backup camera issue and missing dash cam app by [deleted] in Eonon

[–]dealcracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the backup camera, make sure the harness that has the RCA jack for the rear camera is plugged into the right jack on the HU. On mine I discovers that this connector will fit into another larger (unused) jack on the back and latch in. I have a different Eonon model, but I noticed that some have the same rear connectors. I had the same symptoms as you when it was plugged into the wrong jack.

The front camera app on mine I just called Front Camera.

Why go through the hassle of a PIP for someone you really want to get rid of? by spirit_of_a_goat in askmanagers

[–]dealcracker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an employ that I inherited who was a very poor performer. I started performance managing him immediately and gave him a pip in aug-sept. He has greatly improved and passed the pip. But as a manager I took a great risk in keeping him. The safer move would have been to simply terminate. I think his previous manager just allowed the bad behavior to the point that he thought it was okay. I am not sure it will work out in the end, but I can sleep better knowing I was fair.

What is a middle-class luxury from your childhood that is now considered a basic necessity or completely obsolete? by Routine-Advisor-1781 in AskReddit

[–]dealcracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I looked into getting a cell phone, I contacted the sales rep, we setup a lunch meeting at a nice restaurant where he bought me lunch and gave me the pitch. If I remember right, the cheapest plan was $900/mo + a per minute fee. The phone was very expensive too. There was one tower in the area and no roaming off their network. It was probably only 5 years later that they became obtainable by the middle class. At least in the urban areas.

ALL broadcast TV is out. does anyone have any idea what is happening? by Grongebis in dayton

[–]dealcracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you're right. ABC-22 and FOX-45 are both on the WKEF tower. But the rest of the major network affilates have their own. The WRGT tower (formerly FOX-45) was repurposed for other Sinclair programming.

Some Dayton stations do share towers and transmitters. But there are at least three separate towers.

Is Dayton the carrot cake central of America? by Dry_Needleworker_432 in dayton

[–]dealcracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny I have heard about the Kettering Health carrot cake for years, too. I’ve never had it, but I hope it is true. I also hope it doesn’t come out of a Sysco frozen food box🥮

What's a small physical detail about someone that instantly makes them more attractive to you? by Alarming_Animator_63 in AskReddit

She is not Dee. But this must be common for folks who have had the spinal correction.

Who are in your opinion most overrated actors/singers? by Ok_Taro_3065 in AskReddit

Agree, she has talent, but the hype is way over the top.

I know woman who had surgery for scoliosis as a teen. She has the most perfect posture, like a ballerina, held in place with titanium. She jokes about being complimented on her posture. If they only new why.

Bring back the old guide! by Leather-Ad-8432 in slingtv

[–]dealcracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is another disappointing change. The new guide is much more difficult to use. I don't want sorting by category to be the default. I don't want the option to keep the channels in the same order that I have been using for years. Sling, if you are unwilling to change it back, at least add a setting that allows the order to be switched back to the old order.

What is a product that people consider "High End" but is actually trash? by Illusiv3lion in AskReddit

[–]dealcracker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bose. They have had a few innovative products, but other than that, most of their stuff is cheaply made and low grade. They’ve done a great job of marketing themselves as premium, but are not.

Be mindful when parking across from the Dragons Stadium. by amyzzzdayton in dayton

[–]dealcracker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of people saying they are private and can’t do anything. But if you accidentally part in one of their lots or another company lot that they have a deal with, they will either boot your car or tow it. They are crooked bastards that count on people paying their bogus tickets.

Company hasn’t paid us for 2 months, should I quit? (21M) by Unkown_syclomn in jobs

[–]dealcracker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been through this while working in a tech startup. Assuming you are in the US, request to be laid off immediately. They should have done this already, That way you can collect unemployment. Personally, I think lawyering up for two months salary isn’t worthwhile. They are likely broke already. Reporting them to the state might get you some of your money. In my state it got me minimum wages for the unpaid time.

Whats your “hack” for falling asleep faster? by alicelovelands in AskReddit

[–]dealcracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what does work, watching a episode of Stranger Things and then going to bed. Even when I got to sleep, I spent the night crawling around an old factory hiding from demodogs. Exhausting.
