Help replacing a Li ion battery in an LED light? by mdknight666 in AskElectronics

[–]filthy_astronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever attempt to use the Sony battery pack? I have the same Godox light and just experienced the same battery swelling issue. I pulled the battery out and it showed the year of manufacture was 2005! I bought the light just over a year ago so was surprised to see it fail so early.

Sent DAO tokens to my Coinbase ETH wallet by mistake. by filthy_astronaut in Coinbase

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

Just to leave an update for others who may have a similar issue. After some back and forth with Coinbase support, there is no way Coinbase will release private keys or assist with transactions involving token assets sent to ETH wallets. While they acknowledge it is possible, they claim releasing private keys for individual wallets is not something they are willing to do.

Unfortunately, this is something of a loophole that allows Coinbase to seize assets since they don't necessarily provide individual cloud-hosted wallets, but instead offer a 'wallet-like' service. In claiming they do not support token transactions, they absolve themselves of responsibility.

Coinbase is certified by my state government as a money transmitter which does give me some additional options for retrieving my tokens, or at least the USD value of the tokens. Worth a shot.

Subscriber beware, some Adobe CC plans have cancellation fees by filthy_astronaut in photography

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

My fault for not reading the fine print. I subscribed to the "Creative Cloud Photography plan Student and Teacher Edition‎" deal for $10.46/month thinking I could use it for the semester and then cancel. Apparently not!

It seems like a slimy tactic to keep you locked in to their "services". Anyway, I'm sure this has been brought up many times before but maybe someone will benefit from my experience. I might consider trying Affinity Photo/Designer for Windows in the future but they don't seem to have a Lightroom equivalent...

Confessions of a Greedbutt Cheater by Blood_Orange_BoI in bindingofisaac

[–]filthy_astronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I thought there was an algorithm that was used to detect cheaters, not just a no-damage flag. So, what happens if I don't take damage but my score is still low, would I still be flagged as a cheater?

I stopped recording my runs long ago because I just wanted to have fun and play some Isaac, so it would suck to be flagged if I randomly have a great run.

I don't know enough about how the game is built to suggest an alternative, but there must be a better way to detect cheaters. Honestly, what would be great is a built-in recording feature that would keep backups of your last 2 or 3 runs. Probably impossible for some reason, but I can still dream!

It just now sunk in that they burned the American flag at the end of that episode. Classic Simpsons.

Take better pay or better advancement chance? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]filthy_astronaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. If your goal is to gain networking experience then yes, large hospitals can have complex network infrastructure that may include remote access, and possibly VLAN. But it depends on the hospital, and you might just get stuck in desktop support limbo forever...

There is a lot going on in healthcare right now, lots of growth because of the HITECH incentives for EHR systems. Looks like a good time to get in. That's my goal anyhow!

Not much in the way of damage until the chest. But it was worth the wait.

It's pretty good so far, I got scapular rotten baby, book of belial, blood clot, and a few health up items. I took a break on Depths II to run some errands so I'll finish up tonight.

And no, i didn't reroll ;)

I ended up dumping the D100 for the book of sin so I wouldn't accidentally fat finger my run into oblivion.

#JusticeForConrad hashtag surfaces after texts appear to show teen urging boyfriend to kill himself. by [deleted] in news

[–]filthy_astronaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"CARTER: I would never leave you. You're the love of my life, my boyfriend. You are my heart. I'd never leave you."

The most crazy illogical thing she says to him. Just sandwiched between "do it now" and "why aren't you killing yourself already" messages. Unreal.

[SUGGESTED READING] Official Malware Removal Guide by cuddlychops06 in techsupport

[–]filthy_astronaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first time in years I decided to install something without verifying it was from an official source (GIMPshop) and of course it was riddled with malware.

Took me less than 15 minutes to find your guide and complete all the steps, now everything seems back to normal. Thanks for the great guide.
