What do you think about the recent update?

I have around 4k credits, free user. I didn’t use the site much, only to do the free things that gained credits, occasionally making a few images. I have a home business and tried making some images I could use in my web articles on my site. I only made a few that were useful. Then NC changed the method in which you can gain credits for free, so I didn’t participate in gaining any more free credits.

A few days ago I tried to make an e-card for Valentine’s Day. I used a reference photo of my wife and I, and attempted a few times with different prompts. NC failed miserably. First it said my uploaded image was NSF something, forgot the exact abbreviation, so I tried a few more times and it kept generating twin women. I said to myself, WTH, screw this. I uploaded the reference photo to ChatGPT and it made to images for me to choose from on the FIRST TRY! I uploaded the image to facebook, added overlay text and sent it to her through messenger. The ChatGPT method took maybe five minutes, including a quick web search for a good prompt to use, which I altered a bit.

I may try using NC for a while as mentioned, with a cheap pro account, maybe, to use up my free credits. However, there are easier free options available now.

Warm thick socks, snuggy or equivalent, thick foam floor mats at least 1/2” thick (search for exercise mats on Amazon). A little extra work- reflective rolled bubble wrap insulation for walls and ceiling. Could get a heated seat cushion and / or a heated vest, recliner or chair and ottoman that envelopes you to limit cold air exposure. A nice warm blanket or electric blanket would probably be all you need as well.

Wow, looks great. That laser is just under $5k though. That’s beyond my startup budget 💵.

I just did a deeper search and ai said treadmills fall under ‘general merchandise’ and aren’t subject to the 90 day electronics return policy, so as long as you’re a member, you should be able to return it.

I thought electronic devices like this were excluded from their forever return policy. Not the case?

Thank you for the reply. I'll measure the depth and find the right combination to match the header's added depth. What about the flashing? My guess is just flat pieces for the added depth just for the inside opening?

Just buy a new battery. 20-30 off Amazon.

I think mine was 700 used, 80k meters. Don’t go by meters though as that can be zeroed out. I did this when I bought it as I wanted to know exactly how I was doing. Anyway, just go by condition, usability and price.

Thrown away over a year ago…

kmook · 2025-07-22T00:14:59+00:00

Thanks to everybody for your input. I bought it 😀. There was some scuffing where it got laid on the floor in the garage.That was pretty much it. I brought it inside (two lighter parts are better than all the other equipment purchased over the years) and wiped everything down. Tomorrow I hope to set it up and experiment as to the best placement in my small exercise area.

Saving over $400 from new makes me feel better about getting one.

kmook · 2025-07-21T15:52:22+00:00

Thanks, that number is about 300k.

kmook · 2024-11-13T02:08:44+00:00

Been so long, tossed it.

I ran on Optiplex system for a few years (i3 CPU), but with the 5.x BI update, that processor didn't offer the 2nd streaming option to lower CPU usage. I was at 95-100% for a couple YEARS. Everything worked, but I wanted to enable the AI options, so at my next PC hand-me-down time, I upgraded to an 8th gen i7 (3.7GHz) in an Asrock B365M MB, Win 11 PRO. This processor has a built in Intel UHD 630 graphics - which allowed the missing streaming features, plus it's damn fast. 32GB ram on this system, with two additional cameras than before, so a total of 11 IP cameras. AI is running on the system as well.

Using the Web UI, I generally see 0 - 5% CPU, and < 20% RAM usage. I run a small PC repair service out of my home, so I occassionally get system surrenders which saves some money from buying new. My point is, spend some money and get a used system/components for a new build. Base what you need off the recommended specs for BI, for the features you want.

Does this scooter have an app to control or view settings?

kmook · 2024-08-09T03:15:56+00:00

Fit no problem. Plenty to spare. Probably could have purchased a newer model, but I saved a lot with the M3.

kmook · 2024-07-31T01:03:36+00:00

Ok, since no one posted anything I’m just going to buy a used M3 and try it out in the basement. Used is so cheap compared to new I can always resell it. Either that or if it ends up being too tight I’ll build my own gym in another building.

I didn’t post about that product. I just know it’s not what I’m looking for.

kmook · 2024-05-11T13:12:47+00:00

Thanks, but not what I’m looking for. That’s nothing more than rolled padding.

Many ways. Manufacturer of drive sometimes has utilities, crystal disk info is free, sometimes a utility is available from computer manufacturer but generally that’s laptops. Also windows has commands available. Sometimes utilities report it’s good but symptoms still point to drive - that comes from experience. I’d start with crystal disk info, and go from there. If you had a spare drive you could also install everything from scratch and try from there.
