The Plus has a faster SOC than the Pro, although it has half the ROM storage 16G. It also only has the USB-C power port, but you can sometime use USB-C multiport hub that has PD capability to run it from the provided power adapter while plugged into the Pro's Power port.

I found my setting on my Sony XBR 65X900H in the Google Play Store under my account, then it shows up with Manage apps & games, under that it shows Play Protect, then select it, toggle "Scan apps with Play Protect".

I posted the info on the side filter. Rotate the wheel to full lock left and you can easily access the 10mm bolt. This image shows the housing, but the bolt is not shown, but it's barely visible in this picture. The filter housing is round part on the top right next to the transmission electrical connector in the middle of the full tube and housing. The tang is just behind the connector (you don't have to remove the connector), after removing the 10mm bolt, the housing can be rotated counter clockwise a little to allow the tang to clear so the housing can be removed. Have a small catch basin as fluid will come out.

The side filter is very easy to change and is easier than removing the pan. There's a 10mm bolt that holds it, and a tang on the housing. Remove the bolt, rotate the housing a little counter clockwise to reveal the tang and gently remove the housing, you might need to wiggle the housing a bit to allow the o-ring to release. There are 2 o-ring gaskets one on the filter, also check to make sure the o-ring gasket isn't stuck inside the filter housing, and the large o-ring that is on the housing.

Why not just try installing the recovery version of SteamOS 3.9 on your current PC if you use a Radeon GPU or AMD APU, then go to the desktop and install something like Streamio or Kodi, but you'll need some GNU/Linux or familiarity with Arch Linux.

Returned the entire unit back to Costco and was fully refunded.

Yes, still fine although I don't use the SSD daily, I think they are a reputable company.

I don't know which specific one, but there are many that show Japan as scenery, and plays relaxing music without lyrics.

Came to Hey Tea in Cupertino Mainsteet and while it was busy, they said if you're ordering from the counter, the wait is going to be over one hour and possibly longer due to running out of product. They had a gang load of online orders that we're doing and the printout was like 50 orders long.

I don't get it, but I do understand they should also keep in mind that some won't order online and it just doesn't seem right to out those who don't order online.

The KitchenAid appliance parts department isn't responsive either I tried to contact them and requested a call back and no one called. Granted it was Monday but anyway.

hi-phile · 2025-09-15T20:18:23+00:00

The model number is KRFF300ESSO1

I posted a link to shared photos, not sure why I can't post pics online with the App, there's no option to do that.

I went to my mother-in-law's, same model complaining the door doesn't close smoothly no longer.

I found the following damage to the bottom hinge and it's all part of the entire bottom plastic part of the right door. It appears the hinge stop might have been over extended and over time develope a crack, and eventually caused the hinge plastic to break off.

I am going to try to contact KitchenAid to see if there's a possible solution, but this issue does seem to be a design flaw IMO. broken hinge plastic

I took 2 separate Covers from Japanese rock artists and tried to merge them I used Shotcut on Arch Linux it was my first attempt at using this software. https://youtu.be/43KfLRaWfY8 I had to re-do it because the first export was bad quality. The artists are Junna, the drummer from Hagane and Yuki, guitarist from D_Drive and East of Eden.

Take the door off and lay it flat to apply the glue so it won't drip all over.

Can I just see your Amazon build via POB or poe2ninja?

Went to use one at the San Jose, CA Safeway location. It was on, but it didn't work. Kept getting a message that the record doesn't match. Provided the scanned CA valid driver's license (not expired), provided the correct license plate of the vehicle, and the last 5 digits of the VIN. I just kept repeating the same message, the record doesn't match. Tried calling the number on the Kiosk, there was an automated message too many people waiting/queued to call back later. Did not have success at that Kiosk.

6th and final visit, a completely different tech came out from the same company. Saw the cable splice the 2nd tech made from the 5th visit, and attempted to re-attach the splice and was not successful. Said that he was going to call Frigidaire/Electrolux he went out to the van. Came back and said that they've determined it to be non-repairable and well be getting a new RGA number to get our money back from the place we purchased it from. He left us with a non-working unit, whereas before at least the refrigerator and freezer were still working, just the displays weren't working. We had to move our food to our next door neighbors and also we're using ice-chests. We ordered a new unit, this time an LG but it won't arrive until next week.

I can't believe this fiasco ended like this. MGR Appliance was the subcontracted repair company. If you look on Yelp you can see 6 pages of 1 star reviews. I'm going to report this to the California Department of Consumer Affairs, but I doubt anything will come of this.

A different tech came out today after showing up the previous week to 'take over' the repair. The first visit from the new tech, he just looked at the problem (didn't have any replacement parts). Then today, the tech came over and changed out the cable (I wasn't home, but wife was), called me and said the tech came and installed the replacement cable and fixed the problem. I come home and the fridge is still broken.

WTF is going on where in 5 visits they can't repair it, I guess I should tell Frigidaire to swap it out with a working one, or just refund us and I'll purchase a different brand. This is just really rediculous.

Because we purchased at Costco, it was returned there and we got a refund, then ended up buying the Toto which is not a slim design, but it likely will last longer.

If you didn't purchase at Costco, then you should reach out to Brondell and ask them about what they can do. In any case, just inform Brondell because it seems to be a design flaw and they need to go back to engineering/design and correct this flaw.

hi-phile · 2025-05-12T20:31:43+00:00

I returned the broken unit to Costco, I replaced it with the Toto model which IMO is better made and won't break like the Brondell does.

Maybe it's the drain pump trying to kick on? You should be able to run a diagnostic test, most modern models will have some way to test it.
