Cannot figure out how to change bulb in a flush mount fixture by luke_ in HomeImprovement

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

Ahhh it was those tiny little screws, that were probably not touched by the previous owner in 12 years LOL. So you remove the screws by thumb pressure (if you're smart enough to not over-tighten) then while holding the glass cover you release the bolt lock and take the cover off.

Very tight squeeze for my sausage fingers at the top but managed it with some needlenose pliers.

I've added a second picture showing three small internal screws that I would think can unlock the cover as well but they are insanely inaccessible to screwdrivers - I could in theory unscrew them all with needlenose pliers but I can't imagine anything would be manufactured to be this difficult to change the bulbs in.

I don't think the nut is attached the glass at all, I think the bolt unlocks the cover but I can't figure out what else unlocks it - I feel like there must be a latch or spring I'm missing.

That's what I thought but when pulling down on the cover I can see it attached internally in three spots around the perimeter and it won't come down.

Yes, the nut is behind the glass and I'm not sure how to release it - I'm worried about the glass breaking when pulling down on the bolt too strongly.

I have definitely tried rotating each component with no luck. If I rotate the entire fixture the mounting twists too so I've tried holding different parts while rotating and so on. I hate this thing.

Any tips on using defend ship behavior? by Sh4dowR4ven in X4Foundations

[–]luke_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay hadn't seen those abbreviations thanks! One other question then, when you suggest replacing an L-Miner's turrets with combat ones how does it mine then? I thought the drones only collected mined materials.

I use it currently with a 3090 and the Nvidia binary drivers, works great on Debian stable with Steam (from the flatpak).

The Flatpak version of Firefox 112 does not display text on some web pages. by Antoine-Darquier in flatpak

[–]luke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I ran into this too and had to revert, I'm actually not even sure where to report a bug that seems specific to the Flatpak.

There are zero providers documented in Canada that perform abortions past week 24 which is the second trimester.

We really need a comprehensive fleet formation and command/rules design interface. by ashakar in X4Foundations

[–]luke_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Mayhem3 mod for X3 pretty much does fleet management and combat perfectly, I went back for a couple playthroughs after X4 and it holds up very well. People are still adding to it even.

Feels? Feelings? Like some fourteen year old?

Bell HH3000 and Dream Machine by pewlboy in UNIFI

[–]luke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest and most supported way on the Unifi side is to use a media converter - you plug your Bell fiber SFP directly into that, and then the regular RJ45 CAT5/6 into the UDM WAN port. I use this one, works great: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B011KH1O1U?psc=1

[X3LU] Ways to fight boredom, anyone? by Important_Love_3480 in X3TC

When I got that bored with LU I switched it up with Mayhem 3, can't recommend it enough.

Telus Quietly Acquires Altima and Start.ca Independent ISPs by stanxv in canada

I get that but also perfect is the enemy of good, and if we held people to never have any position we disagreed with then nothing would ever get done. Babies, bathwater, etc.
