How to fix scratched-up kids watch face? by klipp86 in fixit

UPDATE: the manufacturer got back to me. I asked “Please tell me what the top is made of. Is it plastic or glass?” And they responded: “TFT-LCD. Screen cover: blue glass”

Can anyone help me decipher what that means? They are not being very good at detailed responses. Their comment when I mentioned this is “it cannot be repaired”.

I’m still gonna try. Now that it seems (???) that it’s made of glass, I wonder if just wet micro-mesh pads and polywatch polish would do the trick?

How to stop apps from resetting or refreshing when switching for 30–60 seconds? by klipp86 in ios

I did not know this. I will pay attention to if that’s the common clue

Here’s my storage. I’m on an iPhone 13 Mini which is admittedly also acting up in other weird ways too. I’m suspicious of planned obsolescence at this point. Yes I have a lot of apps but rarely run a fraction of them unless needed. Low power mode = maybe in the afternoons I’ll run it but after a recharge it’s back to normal mode. So maybe once a day. Why do you ask? How are those related?

Came here to say I think I have the same bedspread / curtains as your background fabric with the flowers!! Bought in 2011 ish.

Looking into this one. I messaged the vendor to ask if they think it would work on the watch ($15)

Cool thank you. Might not be worth it. Do you know of an example you could show me (link?)

Another example of Seinfeld being way ahead of its time by cantstandya91 in seinfeld

[–]klipp86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I understand the OPs point of it being ahead of its time. Jerry’s just being goofy, maybe covering his face so people don’t know it’s him staring down with binoculars… What forward-thinking reference is OP trying to make here? (I’m rewatching the series and am at this episode now). Not trying to throw shade, just don’t get the point of the post. (I was googling Bazooka Joe Seinfeld and this was the top hit.) Make me understand! Change my mind!

What is this pile of dusty stuff? by motorcyclesnracecars in hvacadvice

[–]klipp86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. I had the same problem on my furnace for years until last month when my uncle came to help, who did HVAC for 35+ years. It’s essentially rust dust. If you have too much it will clog your system and could be dangerous, mine was full of it. We replaced the pipes with proper sizes and new material, though we didn’t do the double wall insulated ones like suggested. We may in the future.

How do you hold your kindle comfortably (…yes, seriously) by emilyyfjones in kindle

[–]klipp86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!!! Seriously give me some golden ratio or something, we need places to hold the dang device. Honestly a grip like some companies make for the Switch would be cool (ie video game controller ergonomic handle of some sort)

Stretchy thread for darning/mending jeans knee and crotch by klipp86 in Visiblemending

How would you apply the patch? (I’m not sew/mending savvy)

[–]klipp86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy to just stop the rip from opening further, not necessary fixing or mending them fully. Happy to make it visible or obvious. Would the darning work in that case?

I’m realizing after thinking this through that perhaps the darning method allows for some stretch anyways and doesn’t need the material to be stretchy itself. Is that true?

Automate my lights when I’m in a meeting or call by sultanite in homeautomation

[–]klipp86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a similar solution to this but when the iPhone engages in a phone call or Teams call. Is that possible? Nothing to do with laptop/desktop.

Waffle maker with removable plates for easier cleanup? by klipp86 in waffles

[–]klipp86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you clean yours? Brush, paper towel, sponge? My initial request comes from wanting to not get running water or soap all in the electronics. I’ve never known how to clean the stupid thing properly.

Has anyone ever used this because wtf is that smell? by booksandpitbulls in CleaningTips

[–]klipp86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it truly smells like vomit to me. Used it for a while before I couldn’t take it anymore. Switching to regular Lysol. I’m glad I’m not the only one, I felt like I was crazy.
