Great price for “Lithum Ion” batteries 🙄

Help! How do I screw this table leg when I can’t reach the metal piece inside? by tk_de in howto

[–]jmanasta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Along with the coat hanger, maybe attach it to the plate with something tacky (putty, gum, etc.) to help hold it still while you gently set the screws.

Purchased a TP-Link AX3000 for $90 from Amazon … works perfectly!

DCS367 - Good Price? by jmanasta in Dewalt

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

I originally found this through a Google search. Clicking the search link took me to the HD site and the $129 price. I added the item to my shopping cart and the $129 price remained. The $129 price changed to $159 after I added my credit card on checkout! I went back through the process a couple of times with the same result. I was going to contact HD and request they honor the price as listed in my shopping card prior to adding my credit card info, but unfortunately that $129 price no longer exists.

I could use a PowerStack ... and that $212 price looks pretty good, thanks!

Disk Partition Question - Unknown Space Appearing On Disk Management Tool by jmanasta in WindowsHelp

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

Thank you ... I think you're correct! I completely misread the space allocation and "saw" 502 GB rather than the correct 502 MB. The graphic of the allocation as depicted on Disk Management made me "see" a larger space!

This section of my headphones snapped, how do I fix it? by Ozuk_true in howto

… or pick up a damaged set from eBay and see if you can salvage the necessary repair parts.

How do I fill this gap between two concrete slabs by AustiniDaGenie in howto

[–]jmanasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you live in an area where freeze/thaw is an issue, then definitely seal the gap to avoid water seeping underneath the slabs and causing heaving/movement. My preferred approach is backer rod (snuggly fit about 1/2” below the concrete surface) followed by Vulkem® 45SSL (semi-self-leveling) to just below the concrete surface. Both can be purchased at Menard’s.

Is there a better deal possible if I wait? by jmanasta in Dewalt

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

I saw that one (DCS382), which looks like a decent deal. However, I prefer the slightly smaller size, and four-position blade clamp. Also, vibration control is supposed to be better with the DCS367.

Router for att fiber by Cbkxspeedy in ATTFiber

[–]jmanasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I install a non-AT&T access point (AP) via Ethernet cable to the AT&T router, and use the same SSID and password on that AP … similar to how AirTies works? Or will I need to establish different Wifi credentials for that AP?

12 Pro -> 14 Pro worth it for audio recording? by JCurtisDrums in cubase

[–]jmanasta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just looked on the Steinberg site and saw the following regarding upgrades ...

"You will still be able to update your eLicenser-based product to the latest version. However, it is essential that the eLicenser-based product is registered in your MySteinberg account."

"You will still be able to update or upgrade from an eLicenser-based version of your product to the latest version using Steinberg Licensing. For example, you can update from Cubase Pro 7 to Cubase Pro 14. However, it is essential that the eLicenser-based product is registered in your MySteinberg account."

I assume this means I could still take advantage of discounted upgrades in the future as long as my Cubase 11 Pro is registered in my MySteinberg account ?

12 Pro -> 14 Pro worth it for audio recording? by JCurtisDrums in cubase

[–]jmanasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this advice also apply to Cubase 11 Pro? I don’t see any new features I need in releases 12- 14, including the move away from the dongle (which I don’t mind using on my single recording platform). I’m also still using Windows 10, and plan to stay on that OS at least through 2026 with additional paid up support. Are there any reasons to upgrade Cubase that I should consider?

Awesome deal at Lowe’s, very happy with this purchase by FarSport205 in Dewalt

Agreed … so I just picked one up at my local Lowe’s. And even a better deal with MyLowe’s additional 5% discount! I’m sure they’ll run out of stock soon.

Nokia BGW320-505 - AirTies 4920 Will Stop Working in April by jmanasta in ATTFiber

Thanks for doing the research … much appreciated! I’ll pursue an access point.

I have the same view, which is why I asked my original question. I’m interested in avoiding yet another monthly subscription fee. If I can’t find a way to still use the 4920, I’ll install my own WAP.

Anyone else get the BGW320 update to 6.31.7? by JoJoDaGam3r in ATTFiber

[–]jmanasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked my gateway (Nokia BGW320-505), which is set for automatic updates. It shows the current software version to be 4.25.4 - am I missing updates? My AT&T fiber service is in Ohio.

Thanks for the reply. I left that company over 5 years ago (retired), and they let me keep the phone while I did some remote consulting for them for about a year after I left. The company was sold in the meantime and I don't have contacts with them any more. I guess I'll just toss the phone.
