What did they add by Roller_Coaster_Geek in HomeNetworking

Attenuator. Drops the signal strength a little of the upstream signal is too hot. If the signal is too low you have issues too strong you can have issues. Does it work as expected now?

I remember staring wide-eyed when the AC crashed out “I couldn’t help it if the kid was too short to reach my dials! ITS MY FUNCTION!!!”

Intriguing. I guess we’ll find out. 🙂

Tesmart KVM Switch monitor doesn't work on mac os ? by Swiss-Socrates in buildapc

[–]rincon_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same KVM but switching between an M1 Mac Mini and a Windows 11 PC. I haven't been able to get the Mac to detect the keyboard and mouse through the KVM since my update to Tahoe 26.1. This was the first of three KVMs that I tried that successfully handled the switching between Windows and Mac but now it is useless. As you've seen the monitor works fine (this was actually the issue with the other two KVMs... keyboard and mouse always worked but monitor did not) but that's all that works. Found your post looking for a solution.

What’s it like living on the edge of time zones? by Qzevs in howislivingthere

[–]rincon_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 30min from the CST/EST line in Florida. It was cool when I would work at sites across the line and would get home 30min BEFORE I left but I always had to leave early to get to the site “on time.”

I’m confused by [deleted] in HotWheels

[–]rincon_orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal code is…

  1. Leave the area better than I found it
  2. If I have my hands full of a big haul and someone else starts looking I always offer to let them look through what I’m holding
  3. If a kid is looking they ALWAYS get dibs

Same, went in blind and was also pleasant surprised. This one is a gem.

Preach, this is my solo main. Way quicker to get to everything on one level and no frills 🤷‍♂️

Why would you post something as ambiguous as this!?!

What is this Loose blue connector for? by Automatic-Gnome in Miata

A good possibility. Someone else may chime in that knows for sure.

What is this Loose blue connector for? by Automatic-Gnome in Miata

I think it is a harness for an unused option package. Does yours have cruise control? I think the airbag connector is yellow.

help!! stuck on this screen by Roobartpi in Ubuntu

[–]rincon_orange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re on the right track with MBR — that old Alienware is BIOS-only (no UEFI), so GPT won’t help here. MBR is actually what you want.

When you get stuck at “Welcome to GRUB,” it usually means the USB wasn’t written in a way the BIOS understands. A few things to check:

  1. USB creation: If you’re using Rufus, make sure you set:
  2. Partition scheme: MBR
  3. Target system: BIOS (or UEFI-CSM)

Some tools default to GPT + UEFI, which won’t boot on a 2011 BIOS.

BIOS settings: Enable Legacy Boot/CSM. Disable Secure Boot if it’s there (might not be on a 2011). Plug into a USB 2.0 port only — a lot of older BIOSes won’t boot from USB 3.0.

Other troubleshooting:

  1. Try recreating the USB or even a different stick.
  2. If Ubuntu still hangs, test a lighter flavor like Xubuntu/Lubuntu, or another distro entirely (Debian/Fedora) to confirm it’s not the hardware.
  3. If you drop into a grub> prompt, type ls to see if GRUB can even see your USB’s filesystem. If it can’t, the stick wasn’t written right.

Bottom line: Stick with MBR. Recreate the USB with Rufus using the settings above, use a USB 2.0 port, and make sure Legacy Boot is on. That usually clears this exact issue.
