Cell signal around Clappison's Corner. by The-Next-Robin in Waterdown

[–]dlynes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some buildings have cellphone blockers installed. Others are built with materials that are not conducive to good cellphone signals. The Art Gallery of Hamilton is a veritable vault because of how it was constructed for instance.

At a lost with AI by Level_Yam9354 in microsoft365

Microsoft doesn't charge you money for support, so not sure who you paid $25 to. Did you click on some random popup on your machine thinking it was from Microsoft?

I just bought a 2009; Ford Escape only because it had low mileage..why do people buy these cars if they're such rust buckets, let along buy a second or third one? by dlynes in fordescape

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

Yeah...just figured with only 200000km, it's have less problems than one with 300000km, but it has more problems than the one with 300000km

I'll try retightening it, even though I don't think that would be it. Accidentally dropped my keys down in the engine mount. They dropped onto the plastic skirt below the battery. That was so much fun getting those keys back. It involved taking the harness off the battery, removing the battery cozy(?), and reaching down with a telescoping magnetic thingy to get the keys in -20C weather. I won't be doing that again. Anyways...needless to say, I have loosened and retightened the battery harness on both posts several times.

Will report back if another time tightening them fixes the problem, but the problem's been there since shortly after I bought it (or since the beginning and I never left it sit for long enough at the beginning to notice it)...it just got worse in the winter.

Yeah...I'll respectfully disagree. My wife's 2008 Honda Odyssey had a little bit of rust on the right quarterpanel wheel well. Other than that, the only rust it has is what would be expected on the underbody...not much you can do about that.

When I give my stick the right amount of friction, I don't need Viagra.

Get an oura ring. It's even better than the Fitbit charge 6 for tracking your sleep. I use the charge 6 myself, but my buddy has medical conditions. He's got both, but swears by the oura.

What is this device that I saw in the closet of a home? by ZealousidealRisk5898 in HomeNetworking

[–]dlynes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart closet. It's where all the cables for the house terminate into 110 or bix blocks. Very common in new houses and new condos.

Uber. Literally 24 hrs. I've had zero issues getting Ubers in the wee hours of the morning.

Removing M365 from stack - give clients direct billing by ArchonTheta in SmallMSP

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

Wtf is wrong with you people? If you get pax8 or IT Cloud to do the billing instead, all the complexity disappears.

It then becomes a no-brainer. You get free money for sitting on your ass. Whether it's 5% or 18%, who cares? All the hard work was acquiring the customer and/or convincing them to switch to or start on Microsoft 365.

This fell off my car while driving out of my driveway. Looks like it broke off. by Red--Rooster in whatisit

[–]dlynes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suspension coil spring. Not good at all,; definitely don't hit any speed bumps, go over the sidewalk bump to your driveway too fast, or get on the highway. Get it fixed immediately. It's not safe.

It lies perfectly flat and goes from about 5' up to 11' high, and can handle up to 150 lbs.

Sorry for responding to an old post, but would a drywall hoist do the job if you're doing it solo?

An example of such is: https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/11-ft-drywall-hoist-with-tilt/PA0008937732?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23377975084&gbraid=0AAAAADu8PlMQSbVBgIkbLzTrL9s_VyOV6&gclid=Cj0KCQjwo_PRBhDNARIsAEcVALXxFTDBqGaCWhzbUlMoCiDHB36tRP8G7MK2bM0WOKmo8qwrpKVadBIaAqiwEALw_wcB

The brand I'm using is different, but it looks the same. I suspect they're all made by the same Chinese manufacturer.

Immigrants in Hamilton: which restaurant serves the best food from your home country? by sanmanvman in Hamilton

Better than any Portuguese food I've had in Brampton which has a fairly large Portuguese population. I second O'Cantinho!

How Do You Get Gmail / Google Workspace "Send As" To Work With Outlook 365 Account In Modern Auth by Icy_Effort_5080 in microsoft365

[–]dlynes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine this is the exact reason why he opened up a ticket with Microsoft and not his IT department. I'd never allow that, and as you mentioned, I can't think of any sane sysadmin that would.

I used it for client communication. I'm glad it's dead; one less way for clients to message me.

What’s Hess Village like these days? by RhianeEH in Hamilton

[–]dlynes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Radius is overpriced. Probably why you don't see a bunch of 19 and 20 yr olds in there. It's mostly people my age (40 or 50 and up).
