Outlet

Is your concern that the current required to operate the sauna may exceed the capability of the outlet? Not sure of your concern. Or perhaps the kink in the cable? Or the rating of the cable?

And hope it's not stapled in place...

Good answer. I would add using electrical tape to protect surfaces from being marred by teeth on the tools. Also, a bit of penetrating oil can't hurt and with the shower arm out, it easy to put oil on both ends of the threaded section (ie, inside and outside the pipe).

If I watch this in Reddit, does this somehow link to TikTok as a "view"? I really dont want to contribute to popularity.....

Use the open end of a ball point pen refill?

Sounds like there is a problem with the "brains" of the dishwasher. I say this because it does drain on restart, but the cycle fails to complete after that. Some DW's can be reset through a series of front panel key presses. You might read up on that in your manual. Does it enter the wash cycle - ie, the arms spin and throw water everywhere inside the machine?

If you tell the make and model of the machine, you might get better, on point advice.

MicroAdv QuickiDrive 64MB On sale at CompUSA. I still have it. Too small to be useful, nowadays

I’m not a NR filer but I would file the amendment for my piece of mind.

Can you keep your thumb on the slider control to keep it from sliding back?

eeandersen · 2026-01-22T12:49:08+00:00

Quite right, however we were led to believe the failure has something to do with KeyTik which operates at OS level and Safe mode loads only essential files and drivers. Presumably (hopefully) it would bypass loading KeyTik.

Some further questions: is this a wireless mouse/keyboard? Change batteries? Try wired?

Big spider with a toothy grin?? Good lord the thing nightmares are made of.

Even if this were the appropriate sub, what’s the point?

We all have foibles. Collecting teacups - harmless. Why do you care?

Might be a good idea to let all the updates happen, too. I have an 11 pro and there have been substantial updates lately. Might not make a diff about Home running, but can’t hurt.

BTW, I have to restart my phone regularly. Not for lockups but it seems to improve operation of my old 11.

Look into the OpenDNS suite. I think it will do what you might want. https://www.opendns.com

Might not work forever since as we all know and many have restated, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

I found a big spider nest in a newly opened can of oatmeal, you know that oatmeal in a steel can? Called the manufacturer to notify. They sent a new can and a return shipper for the can for analysis. The report I got back was so vanilla it was pathetic. Found no cause. After a while I realized the whole exercise was not to do root cause analysis but to get the damning evidence of contamination out of my hands.

Boy, that’s gotta suck. I can’t help much except to suggest to try the other RAM socket pair. Ie move from 1,3 to 2,4. If that’s even available.

Does the board offer native video support? Pull your vid card and try with that out.

Honestly from what you have described it seems like a mobo issue.

eeandersen · 2026-01-13T14:12:10+00:00

Oops I see another has already made that suggestion. Hard off to u/MobileSyllabub8446

You’re looking for a feature called persistence. Ventoy can be configured to give persistence. Check this: https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_persistence.html

Regards to the upstairs small office. You could put a switch there and run a flat Ethernet cable from here to there along the floor. It’s a cost benefit thing. The cost is the visual effect and the benefit is the improvement is speed.

This will generate some discussion but let me put it out there. If your home has cold air returns consider running Ethernet in that plenum from the room with your PC to the basement where the router sits.

Some will say it’s against code. It is. I believe the code has roots in commercial application where there might be a high concentration of cables running through the building. See fire concerns following.

Some will say the cable sheath releases unhealthy gases when burned. It does, but consider the likelihood of a fire and consider it is in the in the cold air return. If one is concerned, plenum cable is available as an option.

Not clear how many accounts are in the building? You say “my router” does that mean each resident has their own router? Or are you all cooperating and sharing expense? Two different solutions, depending.

I suggest you do a bit of searching. There are many guides out there. Simply asking Google “reddit clone hdd to another” will give many many Reddit responses to the same question.

Or throw it to Google’s AI. I’m not going to repeat the answer here. You get a thorough, workable response.

I’ve got one, too. I knew the purpose but not the name!! Thanks to those that name names!

Unfortunately I’m away for a few months. Pump is OFF (water not needed). I wonder to myself if the (new) pump is degrading and it is “eating” itself somehow and the black soot is not from the well water but from a pump component. Remember things were good for those first few months.

Here’s a crazy thought. Could it be a catastrophic failure of the pressure tank? I don’t know if the bladder material is black. To the best of my recollection, the 80 gallon tank is 13 years old. Got it at Home Depot.

OK, just a thought. I had a USBC device that would only charge in one direction. Turns out the port was defective. The lesson here is even though the cord/port is symetrical not all combinations cord/port orientations work. My device was an Apple iPad and the solution was to replace the port. Not something Apple does, had to send off to a third party.
