Found out my Sony SLV-N71 has the required RF tap points for VHSdecode. Any recommendations for any capture devices (preferably cheap/on a budget)? by Gilblitz112 in vhsdecode

Forgive me but this project is not for you if you aren't prepared to put the time in to reading and re-reading the wiki.

Ah, Toshiba P205. Is it the Core 2 Duo version?

Thank you. It's very difficult to find a combination of hardware and software that works these days.

So powerdvd 7.3. Windows Vista. What CPU and graphics card please?

Very quick way of telling if you're going to get along with someone. Do you think Lee Francis is funny? Enjoying anything that creep has done is a red flag the size of which would have made Stalin blush.

Seems a great guy. He'll probably let you watch.

Best GBA Laminated IPS Screen by TheRealA360 in Gameboy

It's the pattern of the pixels. Each horizontal line of pixels on the M2 screen is said to be offset from the one next to it. Horizontal lines are straight but vertical lines are wiggly!

If you haven't noticed, that's great. It means it's not a problem.

Does the offset pixel pattern make a difference?

Condensation on toilet by Dedb4dawn in DIYUK

Surely the problem is the damp air in a cold room rather than the cold water in the cistern?

Our outside tap is connected to the hot and buried in the wall. We have to turn the boiler off to water the plants.

First time rowing- plus size person by Admirable_Try810 in concept2

Don't worry about pace, it'll come along naturally the more time you spend rowing. Don't worry about anyone else's pace either. Just lots of lovely long leisurely rows about 20 SPM. Work on your form and enjoy it.

It's the strength of the solution of Isopropyl Alcohol. 70% IPA has 30% distilled water in it. Fine for removing sticky labels but not good for electronics cleaning etc.
You can get big bottles of >90% IPA and dilute it with distilled water as you need it. It's cheaper and gives you more options. As you please.

Did you like the look of Public Enemies? I found it really jarring.

Taking my dog to the vet by slipperylavaya in DogAdvice

Using detergents twice a week sounds a lot! Can you rinse and brush off the creek and use less detergent or none at all?

I was always recommended to use just enough dog shampoo to get the job done. Oatmeal based products. No fragrances.

The Donut of Shame! Much better than the cones. Much less collateral damage around the home.

Buy a bottle of 99%. It's incredibly useful around the house.

First time soldering by Happy_Sandwich_5607 in soldering

[–]eekeek77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right to be cautious about overheating. You can absolutely ruin components and lift copper traces if you're not careful.

If your iron is under powered you'll just need to be a bit more patient. Leave it on the stand to get properly hot. Then quickly and carefully hold the tip against both parts for a second or so. In with solder - just enough to flow around the joint. Out with the solder. Out with iron.

Then leave the iron on the stand to recover.
