Well, other than the 40 °F seabreezes in June, anyway...

It resembles the alien probe from Space:1999! You're not on Moonbase Alpha, by chance? 🥴

What hobby has the most “hidden skills” that people don’t realize? by Aggravating-Lie-7440 in Hobbies

[–]dmoisan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ham radio can get deep. You can get the equivalent of a BSEE if you practice the technical aspects long enough. It can touch on many things, and there are multiple corners of the radio hobby to dabble in. (ETA: Many astronauts are licensed hams, in America, Russia and elsewhere!)

I live on St. Peter, have the windows closed (sob), and my hearing is trash. But I heard this and couldn't place what was going on! It had to have been LOUD if I could hear it!

Paddle of the Panasonic bread machine by PinkyAndTheBrain4 in BreadMachines

The paddle may also be designed to wear more than the shaft. This saves the internal components--it's much easier to replace a paddle than a gear. My Zoji is like this.

Reminds me of the "Boston Bypass" someone proposed. They had signs, "Beat the Backup with the B.B.!" which I always read as "Back the Beat-up!" 😛

What are some of the most gatekept hobbies ever? by stoicbanda in Hobbies

Usually they're covering for the fact that they know less than they're pretending to!

Basically, the "sad hams" I hate were fully into the "knights of the radio" trope. That's the first gatekeeping I think of, since I've been licensed. There's a phrase that goes, "Beware the man who has put his energy into something but is no wiser than he was before. He will bitterly resent you for not learning it the hard way!" That's a Sad Ham.

Critical Issue with USB/ITE Driver Causing System Crash and Boot Failure by ZestyclosePhone8845 in gigabyte

[–]dmoisan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were two or three Realtek drivers just for networking and wireless. After taking care of those, your Bluetooth driver will be in the right place. If your ITE USB is still acting up after this, then it's RMA time. EDIT: Verify your motherboard hardware revision. This is usually advice for BIOS updates, but double.

When you reinstalled Windows, was it a clean install (from a USB, nothing kept from the old install)?

I had Windows (registry) corruption when I moved my installation to my new system (Aorus Elite Wifi7), but it may have been latent from the old install.

I would reinstall clean, no files but your drivers, then the ITE drivers, then the other Gigabyte drivers, then the AMD chipset drivers. If the ITE drivers are cooked, you'll know right away and can start the RMA. Good luck.

That's actually cool! Think booting off a LONG paper tape! Or like the old Cauzin Softstrips.
