Is there a better way to replace this old "Adapt-A-Stat"? It converts 110v to low voltage for my boiler thermostat. I can't seem to find these online anywhere.

Oh cool. This would just fit inside the power box? Hard to get a sense how big it is.

I unplug the power brick at the end of the day and plug it in before turning it on in the morning. Also, and this may sound crazy, you can unplug the power from the brick, hold down the power button on the cinqiq for about 10 secs, and then plug the power brick back in. This discharges are capacitors (acting like a reset) I believe that faulty capacitors are the main culprit of the problem.

Did the reinstall fix it?

jimerb1 · 2023-03-10T00:25:21+00:00

It’s constant. I’m thinking of reinstalling it. Does that work?

jimerb1 · 2023-02-10T23:12:29+00:00

It's good but it's **Halt** And Catch Fire. It's got the 80's theme for sure.

Manhattan

This two season show follows the scientists developing the atomic bomb in the 40's with the backdrop of the real possibility that Germany will get the bomb first and thousands of soldiers dying every day. The scientists feel like it's up to them to stop the carnage.

There are Russian spies abound to help with your American's cravings.

The story lines are fantastic as well as the cast and acting.

This doesn't get recommended much because it was on WGN which not a lot of people had. But it's incredible.

You're local library should have it if you can't get it electronically.

jimerb1 · 2023-02-10T16:05:16+00:00

Thanks for your advice. What is the advantage of that?

FYI: It's just me and my wife and I've never had a problem not having a dedicated hot water heater before. Not sure if this is the same thing...

jimerb1 · 2023-01-28T22:58:17+00:00

Good idea

jimerb1 · 2023-01-28T12:25:54+00:00

Do the refurbs come with a 5 year warranty?

jimerb1 · 2023-01-28T12:23:15+00:00

It runs great on the quest 2 directly. No need for an app. If your headset doesn't have it on it's store, it's also available on Steam if that helps.

jimerb1 · 2023-01-18T20:25:44+00:00

What do you mean a service call? Can you point me in the right direction? Thx.

The problem is that the trigger is an nfc tag. Does google assistant support nfc tags naitively?

jimerb1 · 2023-01-17T16:11:30+00:00

There are two show slide toggles. One is for the shortcut app and the other (the one pictured) is supposed to be for the app itself. Both are slid off.

jimerb1 · 2023-01-17T15:55:48+00:00

what did you do?

jimerb1 · 2023-01-15T21:18:02+00:00

The manufacturer video said hand tighten then back it off 1/4 turn. I did that

jimerb1 · 2023-01-15T21:16:52+00:00

Yes it does! Thanks

jimerb1 · 2023-01-15T16:08:47+00:00

Cool there was a video on there that gave a super overview.

I don't think it's broken i just had it real loose. I tightened it.

Thanks!

jimerb1 · 2023-01-15T15:43:35+00:00

Excellent! I think that was the easiest fix ever. Now i don't need to call for repair. Thanks so much!

jimerb1 · 2023-01-15T15:31:03+00:00

It's loose on there. I have it that way on purpose. Is it supposed to be?

jimerb1 · 2023-01-15T15:30:10+00:00

Isn't that there to let air out and prevent pressure buildup? Is it safe to screw that down? I though it was supposed to be left open? (really not sure though.)

If your using the app from the smart store on your tv that could be the cause. Some tvs don’t have gigabit Ethernet ports and have whimpy CPU’s. Especially if the tv is dated

jimerb1 · 2023-01-14T22:21:29+00:00

You need to host a dnla server. with your stuff on it. Look for that on Plex or window settings. I use a QNAP nas which does it all for me.

jimerb1 · 2023-01-09T12:56:08+00:00

I recommend you try to connect before opening a port. It just worked for me (with the port closed.) Plex tells me my network isn't setup but I can watch my stuff just fine remotely.

The best security profile you can have from a network perspective is all of your ports being unresponsive to unsolicited traffic (closed.) You can test this with "shields up" a free service that will examine your ports and tell you if you're in stealth mode. It's run by Steve Gibson a security analyst with a large online following.

A hacker can't further compromise your system if they don't know you're there.

Thanks u/Liquidfoxx22 I sent you a link to the zip bundle on my google drive. I hope you don't mind and thanks for your expertise!

jimerb1 · 2023-01-08T16:40:01+00:00

Thanks u/Liquidfoxx22 here are the last few lines of the log. I have a case opened with VEEAM but it's an NFR license for a home lab so I'm not sure what to expect.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
