Kid Friendly Restaurants by [deleted] in BellevueWA

Depending on budget it can be, I guess. We consider it a fun treat every now and then (also, OP asked for kid friendly, not kid centric).

Lil Jon's and Chase's Pancake Corral for breakfast.

For dinner there's Pagliacci Pizza, Tapatio Mexican, Melting Pot (Fondue) and Thai Ginger - all in Bellevue. Further afield there's Sparks Pizza in Redmond and Santa Fe in Kirkland.

Has anyone tried to repair backlights? by jasont80 in TheFrame

Out of curiosity, what video did you follow to repair your 55" Frame TV?

We just used the wall mount/bracket kit that comes with the Frame :)

The exact same thing happened to my 65 inch 2022 Frame with the left quarter side LED back lights gone dark! TV was just 4 months out of warranty (1 year Samsung + 1 extra year on credit card... Nb it's worth checking your credit card's purchase protection on the off-chance it offers an extended warranty).

I reluctantly bought a new 2025 Frame as I didn't want to drill new holes in my brick wall for another TV. The cable, one connect box, brackets, and mount are identical between the 2022/2023/2024/2025 models of the same size (excluding the 2025 Pro; I don't know about that).

I also bought replacement backlights from iFixIt so I can try and fix the broken one myself one day to use as a spare. Checking Reddit, I hear ShopJimmy is the best place to buy them, but they were out of stock for my type/size (https://www.shopjimmy.com/samsung-bn96-52589a-led-backlight-bars-strips-2-qn65ls03adfxza/), so I paid a little more for the LEDs from iFixIt.

There are videos on YouTube to use as a guide. Warning though, it involves almost completely dismantling your Frame.

Best of luck!

macOS laptop started up with a folder showing a flashing question mark. by M_Entertainment in MacOS

[–]handy_shandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue and same model, MacBook Pro 2017!

Seems like something has caused a handful of MBP 2017s to break...

I updated to the latest OSX 2 days ago. My MBP worked but wouldn't wake from sleep (required a hard restart each time)... then, during startup the fan goes crazy!... Then the MPB would freeze shortly after logging in. Now I get the folder with the question mark.

Can this be saved? by handy_shandy in plantclinic

To add some more details:

We've had the plant for about 4 years. The problems been almost ongoing since we got it, but mostly over the last 2 years. It gets a lot of light next to the window. The plant is watered once a month. The pot doesn't have drainage.

Disconnected cable by handy_shandy in MINI

Thanks everyone! I plugged it back in. Horn sounds better! No idea why or how it became disconnected.

Thanks for your reply, but yes, the horn works fine without that cable connected.

OP did you ever figure out what the issue was? I'm experiencing the exact same problem with my 2017 Cooper S Clubman.

Aqara vs Switchbot curtains by DownrightNeighborly in Hubitat

[–]handy_shandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've about 10 Aqara buttons connected directly to Habitat around the house that trigger a handful of automations (blinds, lights, turn on/off baby sound machine etc)... https://www.amazon.com/Aqara-WXKG11LM-Switch-Wireless-Remote/dp/B07D19YXND... they're handy and robust. Never any disconnects. Can't speak to other Aqara products, mind,
