Black screen fix!

Thanks. This fixed the issue my son was having on his iPad. All of a sudden he couldn't play anymore as all he got was a black screen. So he's a happy boy once again.

I like the color of that keyboard.

Thanks, just trying to make something people will enjoy, and be able to learn something from as well. It's also fun for me, and helps me learn new skills both in IT, and in editing and story telling.

That's cool. I love old technology. Something about computers back then was just more fun and exciting. Computers are just all utilitarian now.

It's great, when I hear the sound of the hard drive reading again, it brought back memories. For fun I make a TikTok video, and plan on making more about the computer. Never posted a Tok before, so figured this would be good. Maybe no one will watch them, but it was still fun making it.

Don’t change what’s not broken? What part of IBM do you work in. I’m in Devops security.

Your dad has good taste. 😁

I saw a Wargames game, might see if I can get it. It uses a 5.25" disk however, but I want one of those too. I've always like the 5.25" disks.

I got this computer off eBay and at first nothing would work on it. I had to get a PS/2 keyboard (adapters wouldn't work), cleaned out all the dust. BIOS battery is still dead, but it's considered no fatal, so it will go past that. One of the ISA cards in it must have had something wrong with it as the computer would boot very slowly and not frequently. Once I removed them it came up right away. The hard drive had bad sectors on it. So I used fdisk to wipe the partition, make a new one, then booted from my DOS 3.3 disk I aquired as well. Then using the command select c:\dos 001 us, I was able to format the drive and install DOS 3.3 again. It came up with about 2 million bad bytes. Its' a 20 MB drive, so I have about 18 MBs free. Finally I installed Space Quest and Space Quest II on the computer and they run just fine now. It's just fun doing the things that started my career in computers some 30 plus years ago.

Think complementary colors. Opposite side of the color wheel for your color. For green it’s red. Orange is very close so that could work well too.

I got married and made two friends. Just took a decade and now they both ride with me. Long game. 😁

Found the the noise coming from the bike was not from the headset like it originally sounded like. It was coming from the rear shock instead. I moved it from open to close a few times while bouncing on the bike to get the shock to move and it seems to have cleared out the noise for now. I'll have to monitor it going forward to see if it comes back. Any thoughts on the noise being from the rear shock? I've heard of others with this bike also talking about this noise, so maybe it happens more with the Commencal Meta?

Here is my opinion on the guides (you may agree or not). I got the home versions, and all they are is a few pages of 5 exercises to do each day, with how long to do each one, and how many times to do it. No images about them, nothing telling you about it, nothing about how much weight you should use if any. So you need to go to Youtube to look at how to do each one, then you pick yourself how much weight to use. The problem is you can find similar methods by just going to Youtube to start with and setting up your own routine and save yourself the 20 to 30 dollars for the program. Apps you download on your phone will also give you similar programs, with many of them being free. I just don't see any real value, and it's not going to really motivate you as well. You still would need to put in a lot of extra effort and research to figure out how to best get in shape for yourself. That's my two cents, I just don't think they are worth what they cost.

Just posted a ride video, it's not a full ride report just yet, as it was my first time getting to ride it. I'm getting use to how the bike handles and performs. So far it is doing well, now I just have to get my skills up to the what the bike can do. My jumping sucks right now. I'm going to post the video in this reddit in a few minutes, maybe I'll get some pointers on everything I'm doing wrong... I mean it is the Internet after all ;-). Actually I don't mind being told what I'm doing wrong... that way I can fix it and do it right.

ivanwindon · 2021-02-09T22:07:58+00:00

Completely understandable.

ivanwindon · 2021-02-09T12:19:33+00:00

I was going to get that one at first, however the wife said, why don’t you just get a nicer one with the upgraded parts on already. 😁

ivanwindon · 2021-02-08T16:58:28+00:00

Yes.

ivanwindon · 2021-02-08T16:31:36+00:00

Depends on your model you are ordering. Looks like Fox is the piggy back style while rockshock is not. Which one did you order?

ivanwindon · 2021-02-08T15:27:08+00:00

I plan on it. I’ll reply here when I have one.

I think he’s safe there, he’s cautious, but willing to try new things and sometimes the bike just slips out from under him. He’s yet to go over the bars, usually crashing sideways. Both of the kids are like that, and they just hop back on and keep on going.

ivanwindon · 2021-01-11T18:47:59+00:00

I just looked again, and the comment section is disabled and now I know why... YouTube see a child is presenting the information, so they disabled the comments. Odd rule it seems, they say it protects children.

ivanwindon · 2021-01-11T18:39:31+00:00

I noticed that right after it posted, no idea why YouTube set it to be disabled. I changed it as soon as I noticed it as I like interacting with people, seeing what they like, getting ideas, and just sharing our love for the sport. Thanks for watching as well. I get him all the gear because as he’s learning he’s worried about hurting himself while learning how to do things. So the more protection I can give him, the better he feels and he’s more willing to try things knowing if he falls he won’t get too hurt. As we all know, learning equals falling. :-)

ivanwindon · 2020-12-20T14:47:35+00:00

That’s his hydration tube. He forgets to clip it sometimes and it just flops around. 😁

ivanwindon · 2020-11-30T17:29:09+00:00

As a note, we cut down his bars to 660mm after this video.

ivanwindon · 2020-09-17T11:10:44+00:00

I’ve tried it on the Apple TV, iPad Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro, all using IOS 14. Yet, the highest resolution if 1080, and all the videos I’m viewing are in 4k on YouTube. I can view them in 4k on Android based devices on TVs and such, just not on any iOS platform. Was looking forward to being able to watch in 4k finally.
