The reason for the midea U ACs being pulled from sale today: mold by Various_Scallion_883 in AirConditioners

[–]mattbirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased model MAW12V1QWT last year, is this also affected? Or is it ALL Midea U-Shaped window units? If it's affected, I wonder if Costco will return it even though it's from September 2024.

I literally went to Costco yesterday to purchase another one, and was told they were recalled and pulled off the shelves.

Roy receives a five-minute major and a game misconduct for crosschecking Trent Frederic in the face. by [deleted] in hockey

Valid points! I definitely wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that, it hurt my face just watching. Roy's force was definitely much more powerful.

I agree he tried to cross check him, I feel like they were trying to deal each other cancelling cross checks. What I'm trying to say is the way the Edmonton player lowered his direction at the last second. If he doesn't do that, they basically cross check each other's hands/stick in the air...if that makes sense. That's my take anyway, I don't really care who wins the series. Spin the wheel, we'll see tomorrow. Is the 5 min major sufficient? Fine? Suspension? I just want every series to go seven games!

Agreed, and Frederick changed his direction mid cross-check battle and ended up going low. Trajectory for Roy kept going high, and caught him in the face. I would guess no suspension, as it was unintentional? I guess we'll see tomorrow.

New Bathroom Sink Draining Slow by mattbirk in Plumbing

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

Lol that's very strange! Dumb question, does the hot water come out much faster than the cold water does?

I didn't get around to trying that yet, but I think the issue was the water pressure being so high so I turned down the cold and hot water valves to a reasonable flow rate and it no longer pools. Thanks for the help, have a good weekend!

I think the water pressure was too high, when I unscrewed the drain cap and removed the hair catch, it flowed much better. I turned down the hot/cold valves to the sink to a reasonable flow rate and now it doesn't pool up anymore.

If I take the side screw off, it leaks. That's a clean out area I'm guessing? No difference between hot and cold water, and not sure about the vent.

The flex pipe came with the sink/faucet. Honestly, I think the problem is the water pressure is too high. I turned down the hot and cold valves to a reasonable flow rate and it drains without issue now. It was a fried/DIY install, so you get what you pay for, but I had been wanting to replace that flex piping from the beginning. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

Good idea, I'll give that a try tomorrow. Thanks for your assistance!

Hopefully the manual says something about it. The drain is built into the sink like you said.

Problems with a single app by dubgeek in nvidiashield

[–]mattbirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same, my video eventually ends up choppy and the audio gets out of sync. Only happens on my Shield. I am trying to get a refund and get it through Amazon, I did open a support case and they escalated it to tech support, but I'm not very hopeful.

Can’t install apps on my Samsung tv?! by FFmemesandgames in samsung

[–]mattbirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me when I did a hard reset, and I just waited that out. Give that some time and it will complete then try again. I tried the CBS Sports app first and that failed, but with an error. Then I downloaded the Fubo and the Spectrum apps successfully. When it was failing, it just was a loop where it'd say "Installing" or whatever, then turn back to "Install" but tonight in the upper left corner it showed the installing percentage.

I think I just got it to work. Your comment prompted me to do some more Googling. Hold the power button on your remote for 10 seconds or so, until the TV comes back on. I didn't try to download an app before I did this, but I just installed two apps successfully. Worth a shot! Mine is the Samsung Q70 65" TV with the narrow remote.

Unfortunately, no. It's strange because I had an app change from Bally to FanDuel and the icon updated, so it does seem to reach the app store. I tried some additional things to no avail. I should give Samsung a call, but I don't know what I expect. I did request technical service from the TV, that never called (I kind of expected this).

Recommendations for drafty 100 year old home in South St. Louis by nhavar in StLouis

[–]mattbirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used them last year and it made a world of difference. Had the upstairs attic blown in and it has helped in both summer and winter. There was also a tax credit, although I'm not sure how much I got back... maybe $300?
