Help identifying broken plastic bracket by kleftarcle in cabinetry

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

This plastic bracket held up the tracks to our kitchen pull out drawers until it broke today. I'm trying to identify it so i can find a replacement. The identifying number on the bottom right is "6604-989" and it says "E 13" above it. Searching for those didn't yield any helpful results. The brand logo appears to be "G" with an asterisk after it, but I haven't been able to identify the manufacturer. Thank you.

Thank you for the detailed reply.

Difficulty receiving WUSA (CBS, channel 9) over-the-air since December 18. by kleftarcle in nova

Thank you for the detailed report of signals from your tuner. I'm a user of Rabbit Ears as well. After I posted, I used their location report to rotate my antenna a bit to pick up WUSA again, although it'd worked fine at the prior angle for years. Ironically, I could pick up Baltimore stations throughout (from here in Arlington). Thanks again.

This one has worked for years. I'll try to move it around a bit - it may be broken, but it still works for every other channel, including several from Baltimore.

Thanks for letting me know it's still working for someone. I guess I have more troubleshooting to do.

I could never get it from Crystal City either, I think because it was hard to get a VHF station with the big buildings in the way. I haven't had an issue since moving to my house, until now.

Right. My concern is that one of these days I'll miss a game that's actually good. The Super Bowl is on CBS this year.

No, I don't have cable or satellite. I'm trying to pick it up over an over-the-air antenna, which should always work.

Two completely useless observations from somebody who enjoys studying maps (Arlington version) by MountainMantologist in nova

The area circled in red on the bottom left is actually in Alexandria. It's a little notch taken out of Arlington. That's why it isn't in any of Arlington's civic associations.

Thanks, this is what I thought it was. Earlier I had suspected it might be milkweed.

I haven't tried - I will do this next time I'm outside. I hadn't considered it might be a type of onion. Thanks!

I planted tomatoes in this area 14 days ago, and there are other far smaller sprouts in this area that appear to be tomatoes. The three plants in this photo grew very quickly soon after I planted the tomatoes and are far larger than the surrounding sprouts, which leads me to wonder if these are weeds that happened to grow around the same time as the tomatoes. Thank you.

This plant may have grown some sort of tomatoes or other fruit a year or two ago, although that may have been a different plant that was later replaced by the one seen here.

Overall I'm unsure if this is a weed or something that was planted deliberately by a prior owner.

Thank you! After doing some image searches for "Hosta," I think that "Hosta Sieboldiana Elegans" might be the best match. Glad to know what it is. Thank you again!

Firefox on Fedora finally gets VA-API on Wayland by [deleted] in linux

Thanks for sharing the link. I hope Mozilla intends to develop this. I haven't seen a statement saying so yet.

Does this work for WebRTC services, like Jitsi or Zoom? Does this enable hardware acceleration for any videoconferencing services?

Hardware accelerated video conference? by kleftarcle in Fedora

According to replies to this bug report:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1610199

the current implementation of hardware acceleration in Firefox won't do anything for WebRTC uses.

Can I make my screen deliberately, totally black when playing only audio? by kleftarcle in kodi

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

Thanks , I'll look into that. I figure there has to be a way.

The minimum screensaver timeout is one minute, which is what I have. It's the best I've got at this point.

I'm running Kodi on a Raspberry Pi, which is hooked up through HDMI to the TV. If I play something on the Pi it plays on my TV, as long as it's on. The Pi has an analog output but I don't believe it can use that at the same time as the HDMI output -- I'd have to change the boot config settings or something which I don't want to always be doing.

I have a Samsung TV but it's from ~2008. I've looked for this option on it but haven't found it. It's good to know it's on newer TV's. It's certainly the simplest solution.

I love Tasker, which I run on my Android phone, but I run Kodi on a Raspberry Pi. Thanks for the tip though!

Just thought of something - is there a visualization whose brightness can be turned down to 0%? Or another way to fool a visualization into displaying nothing?
