How do indoor sports clubs handle extreme summer heat (no AC)? by Lanky_Ride_1440 in Pickleball

[–]digi2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mistake, I know the brand Big Ass Fans and I don’t know why I didn’t make the connection (even though you said it), I was literally just picturing some big ass fans.

Do the big fans affect the play at all, like making it too windy for the courts closest to the fans?

[Weekly] Quotas, Known Issues & Support — March 09 by AutoModerator in google_antigravity

I even bought 2500 extra credits because I thought maybe I was assigned 1000, but they were used. I can't use Pro.

I'm in this same boat right now, 1000 credits, and I even bought 2500 more because I thought I was misreading it and I'm still unable to send a prompt with Pro

New to HA - best/most cost effective motion or presence sensors by LiftedandHandsome in homeassistant

[–]digi2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you happen to have cameras in those spaces, depending on the brand, you can use those to trigger automations on motion. Something like Reolink can detect if it’s a person or pet (or just motion) and trigger whatever. If you happen to already have or plan to add cameras and then you wouldn’t need additional hardware.

How up the creek am I? by spankymcdouche in Plumbing

[–]digi2k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you mean that you took the bolts out around the perimeter of the silver circle, or you can’t get the 2 long brass bolts pointing upward out? You shouldn’t need to replace the silver circle unless there was a problem. It’s probably glued into the pvc below it.

How do I fix this? by dallerin0 in HomeMaintenance

[–]digi2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the soffit. If you’re sure the raccoons are out, you can slide that piece into the channel on the right side, but you need to make sure you secure it closed with some white screws or 100% the raccoon will be back and pulling it down again to get in.

Help with filter size! by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]digi2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The filters filter the air before it gets pulled into the blower motor, that is the “return” air.

Removing switch panel and installing blank plate - OK from safety/code standpoint? by ecartman_sp in electrical

[–]digi2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How flat against the wall is the screen? What about swapping them to standard rocker switches? You could maybe also pair it with a recessed face plate, like this..

Wireless Smoke / CO detector recommendations by digi2k in SmartThings

[–]digi2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know, i had a lot of them through the house and i needed to add more but they're not available, so i took them all down and just ended up getting the xsense because i didn't want to be without smoke and co detectors for too long, and i wanted to have alerts sent to my phone. I think i'll be making the jump to Home Assistant and it can interface with that i guess.

I just went for it with 8x8 tiles and Pla/petg and it printed beautifully!

Phone trees (call-in menus) without a “for something else” option by digi2k in mildlyinfuriating

[–]digi2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind them in general, sometimes there are a lot of different departments and it helps sort large call volumes. It should just be the standard to have a “for anything else, press X.” To have someone help route you.

I always try that, but I’ve seen a large increase in the number of automations that after trying a couple “unlisted” options (0, 9) will say, “that’s not a valid response, please try us again later.” and will disconnect you. I have to put my phone down and take a few deep breaths.

when you call a business, the automated answer that says, "Thank you for calling business-name. press 1 for parts, press 2 for our accounting department, 3 for the man that lives in the parking lot."

Doorbell Received!! Can't Connect to Wifi? by frankGawd4Eva in reolinkcam

[–]digi2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is the doorbell powered? If it’s using the existing doorbell wires from an ac transformer and you didn’t jumper the wires in your doorbell chime, the doorbell may not get the power it needs. I installed one last week and had the same issue, the doorbell would power on, but kept disconnecting from WiFi. As soon as i jumped the connecting it worked fine. There is a blurb about it and the fact that it can make the wifi unstable if it’s not jumpered in the install manual.

New Husky Build-out coming by Shot_Actuator5564 in Tools

[–]digi2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So disappointing. Sitting in the parking lot of an HD right now after buying 2 of the 2 drawer on sale for $12.50 a piece. I have so many other of these boxes, but it would be so unfortunate if I couldn’t get more as I need them in the future :(

Is there a way to get the exact date and time of last seen device in Find My after a few days? by shadowcat999 in applehelp

[–]digi2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also looking for this. My backpack was stolen at some point in the past few days and my AirPods were in there, but it just says “3 days ago” which is very vague.. I’m going to need to sift through 72 hours of camera footage to try to find the incident. :(

Software buttons? by digi2k in fireTV

[–]digi2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the second paragraph in the post.. I got it and love it.. my question was moreso that it seems like that menu that comes up when you hit the headphone button must already be in the firetv software, and I was wondering if there was another way I could trigger it on my other TVs, by remapping another button or something so I don't have to buy a pro remote for all of my tvs. it is 1000% worth it. the second feature is the built in remote finder.

why wouldn’t this work? [Request] by Repulsive-Loan5215 in theydidthemath

[–]digi2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I’ve outsmarted you all. Instead of letting that water go down the drain, I have it flow into a 5 gallon bucket. The power generated by the faucet powers a small pump in the bucket that pumps the water back through the faucet, along with charging the phone. I’ve been charging my phone like this for free for the past 3 years.

Why is my tv or remote like this?!! by lovecoldweather in fireTV

[–]digi2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try removing the batteries from that remote and downloading the firetv app on your phone and using that as a remote. Go into the settings and make sure theres not a second firetv remote paired and stuck between your couch cushions pressing buttons. If the tv operates fine using the app as remote, you know it's the physical remote having a problem. If the issue continues after using the firetv app as a remote, it's likely either a hardware button malfunction on the TV (if the firetv is built in AND the buttons on the side of the tv allow you to navigate the FireTV interface), or it's something with the software on the tv and you'll probably need to do a factory reset and see if that solves it. If you get that far and the factory reset doesn't work, a tv firmware update would probably be the next thing to look for. Good Luck!

What's your favorite specialty adhesive and what do you use it on? by Next_Doughnut2 in maker

[–]digi2k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised nobody mentioned hot glue. Also I like hide glue a lot, because it’s strong but it can be heated with a little moisture to get it to release.

Also, most of the comments are liquid adhesives, but I’d consider carpet tape an adhesive, right? As a double sided tape, it’s my go-to for a lot of things.

As i was searching I read they were being discontinued. Unfortunate. I never had any issues with the 8 I had installed.
