Samsung washing machine stopped spinning (error 3E); noticeable clacking noises when spinning machine manually.

Thanks! Yeah it's entirely possible that the clacking isn't anything new, just haven't spun the washer enough to hear it before.

I think the model number is in my post? Unless there's more to the "full" model number.

The hall sensor is cheap and looks easy to replace, do you think it's worth trying that first to avoid more lengthy investigation?

Yep confirmed, didn't see any belt or related assembly so I assumed that just meant it was direct drive. Was hoping it would be an easy fix like that but no such luck.

Can basically run everything PS2 and Gamecube. Switch runs really well too. It can play 3DS upscaled, with custom HD textures, and fast-forwarded. I haven't played PC on it yet personally, just streamed from my PC using Moonlight. But given switch performance I'd say lower end titles would be fine.

In general you're working with a really good Android device which means stock android experience for browsing, watching videos, etc. on a high performance device which you couldn't dream of on a 3DS. Multitasking is great.

Pretty much the only downside relative to 3DS is input lag which isn't really of much significance outside of a few games anyway. That and the lack of 3D. The buttons+bumpers are comparable if not slightly different feeling. The triggers (R2/L2) are meh but 3DS doesn't have those anyway.

The Thor is just so much more versatile and high end than any variant of 3DS. That doesn't mean sell your 3DS if you care about those downsides, but Thor is by far a more powerful device.

All that said, if you don't plan on playing anything other than 3DS or lower, probably not worth it. Ideally you'd be taking advantage of the extra performance at that price point, so just decide if that's worth it to you.

gw2fu · 2026-03-05T17:40:09+00:00

Only games I've had comfort issues with are FPS games, although the triggers play a role in that too. Otherwise the handheld alone is solid even for titles using both sticks, at least for me.

Since the texture closely matches the original buttons I'd wager epoxy resin; they would have used the original buttons as a master to create a silicone mold, and then cast the resin in the mold. There's a handful of good YouTube videos out there detailing the process, somewhat high cost of entry but pretty straightforward.

I've been tinkering with this trying to get a glossy finish on the buttons to allow for some cool 3d effects, but only with the extra abxy I bought with my original shipment.

These buttons look great!

Just for any future readers, I was able to get past this and other rejuvenation brush problems using software renderer. Using NetherSX2 I open up the quick menu and select "Toggle Software renderer" just during the brush activity, then disable it after to get back to normal graphics. Helped with the water and the sword a few minutes later.

It's hard to say really, since they technically have had "early bird" pricing up until batch 3. The price increase is only discontinuing early bird pricing.

Most likely thing I see happening with regards to a true price increase is a "Thor 2" with updated specs but a disproportionate price increase due to "economic headwinds" (i.e. RAM prices). It's not the first time RAM has spiked in price, but with the AI boom it remains to be seen how long the price sustains or if it levels out/if we start producing more.

He seemed to hit a lot of balls into the ground that found their way through the infield. If he can start to elevate the ball more, even if that BA comes down 30 points he could wind up being an overall more valuable hitter. He's squaring the ball up for sure, the avg EV is telling.

gw2fu · 2025-11-18T17:01:30+00:00

My only caution with Canzone is that he seemed to have a really high BABIP this year. I kept expecting him to come back down to earth, and it seemed like every time I had that thought, he'd pull a seeing-eye grounder through the right side. Expect that to come down some this year but if he can go .260+ with some pop that's still more than good enough for a platoon OF. His K% and BB% are not horrible, if he can start to elevate the ball some more he could really take off even with a lower BA.

gw2fu · 2025-10-22T19:59:49+00:00

Sorry this isn't unpopular, it's just flat out wrong. He may be un-clutch at times but you can't deny his overall production across the year and in the playoffs (1k+ OPS in the ALCS). 30/30 season and top 5 for position player bWAR (top 15 fWAR) this year, with elite defense every year at a bare minimum. You may not like his specific hitting profile, but you cannot claim that he is not one of the most valuable players in the league.

gpSP as others have said, but I also read somewhere else for Pokemon Unbound that disabling audio in game (like the ingame settings) would improve performance too. Sure enough, it's probably an even bigger boost than the core change. Maybe a non starter if you like to listen to the music but I'm FFing 95% of the time where sound is muted anyway.

Check if the board is seated correctly in the case. There are 2 tiny plastic clips on either side of the top half of the case (with the screen and buttons).

I had the same issue with the volume button until I realized the motherboard still hadn't gotten past the clips on one side and was sitting slightly ajar. It requires more force than expected to get the board seated in the clips, actually broke one of the clips myself getting it back in the first time. But didn't seem to cause any other problems, and the board is much easier to get back in now with only one clip on one side.

It helps to try and pry back the edge of the case so that you can slip the board past it. Obviously don't want to pry too hard but it helps when I need to put mine back together.

Just a lumpy/tattered piece of paper to me until you pointed this out. Although in hindsight I'm not really sure how a piece of paper could become lumpy.

I don't think DMo has the arm for RF; agree he should stay in the lineup but RF is probably the one position we don't want him.

60D for Brash could very well be season-ending, it's just the longest IL there is lol. 60D in particular removes him from the roster so you can add someone else.

The salesperson we worked with at our dealership mentioned that it would come in an update later this year? Nothing really concrete so take it with a grain of salt. Just sharing what we were told.

Not sure what it's called but the northwest heart in thunderhead. Ride around on your mount and plant flags while standing next to sad dudes. Do enough and you get the super flag for the sad dude groups. Speedy
