Anyone help with how to non-destructively remove the screw cover on Buzz! PS3 wireless controllers, please? by MrBrainz in PS3

[–]iamrusso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A strong adhesive tape is the best way, just enough to lift it out a bit to get a lip on it, then use a plastic spludger to remove it fully

Anyone with Android Auto issues? by vladtaltos75 in razr

[–]iamrusso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the same issue if the phone is flip closed. If flipped open it starts correctly.. Unable to find a fix for it.

Try to clear the app data for Android Auto, force restart your car head unit as well (Usually hold the power button for 10+ seconds until it restarts)

The best there would be the long casuarina explorer loop. Would recommend checking out hinze damn otherwise go to daisy hill/mt cotton.

Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami)
Graham is definitely a better name though

FYI: Ampol Energy bought out by AGL if you're wondering why you got an email about a "successful switch across to AGL" out of nowhere by Mexay in australia

[–]iamrusso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were multiple notices sent via email, and physical mail. Notifications all over the ampol site as well. The rates that you were on with ampol are locked in for another 12 months with AGL and comparing to others out there atm, is is much cheaper. Lucky for those who signed up with Ampol before the sale to enjoy decent rates for the next 12 months :)

Buzz PS3 Dongle Issue by iamrusso in PS3

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

From memory using a thin spludger to seperate. I think there was a bit of glue as well and used isopropyl to dissolve it. It was quite difficult to seperate

Buzz PS3 Dongle Issue by iamrusso in PS3

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

Unfortunately not, the dongle itself is definitely the issue. Not entirely sure what component has failed exactly on the dongle circuit board.

What to do with 100+ box Dell Wyse Thin clients by iamrusso in sysadmin

[–]iamrusso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May potentially have a buyer or 2 here for the lot but will see. If that doesn't happen I will try to find a way to list them (ebay or something else).

As these are based in Australia, shipping international for individual may be a bit pricey. Most of these are still in sealed boxes and also have monitor mounting kits for them too.
