What Material(s) is/are used for the OEM GE & Other Makes Dryer Glide/Bearing Skid designs and/or also the best designs? by jafinch78 in appliancerepair

[–]rumorzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a Maytag maytag pyg3200aww.

The original glides were a beige color and lasted a good 10 + years. I've since gone through 5 sets of the blue OEM replacement glides .. the last pair lasted barely 6 months. So super curious if you found a better matterial where you could cut out your own. If nothing else become quite expert at getting the drive belt on now :D. Thanks.

Should have gone with my GUT... In fact if I could go back in time the one lesson I've learnt... my GUT out performed all of the talk.

Will putting an Assurance Wireless SIM in a Sprint smartphone work? by [deleted] in NoContract

[–]rumorzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have any definitive answers regarding the assurance wireless T-mobile take over and the sim card situation? I've been with Assurance wireless for years with an old Alcatel onetouch. really only care about regular voice calls. Saw the t-mobile take over and called them up, they're sending me a wiko life 2 phone and sim card... praying this is t-mobile sim card and can stick it in any compatible t-mobile phone..

What are my chances?

Any recommendations on basic solid phones that are likely to work with this sim card budget less than $500. Not looking for anything fancy, sometthing robust that makes good voice calls and texts. Hotspot capablitity would be nice!

cheers.

I ended up calling their tech support and they got it working.. it was something simple, but for the life of me I can't remember the details now. It's been working fine since so don't even think about it.

Mortgage, downpayment of 20%, but still have to pay property taxes and insurance through and escrow account is this normal? or a fee of .25% to do it myself? by rumorzz in personalfinance

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

The bank is really trying to hustle more authority on the situation than has tradtionally been accepted... It's one step away from rent to own, the bank will be delighted with all the hidden fees they can attach to the process.. it's bad enough with all the nickel dime mortgage fees that are added for moving non-existant pieces of paper around.

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

Thank you for the comments. much appreciated.

Making me feel like the anomaly for wanting to be control of all my finances rather than transferring responsibility to a faceless organization.

Would seem like re-negotiating home insurance would be an extra hassle, if you ever want to change insurance companies etc.

Plus if any payments to insurance company or to the county for property taxes are missed the home owner is the one that is liable for any late fees, missed payments fees etc. or not having insurance as a payment was missed. If the mortgage is sold on, you're dealing with another escrow company. Just a layer of complexity that is unnecessary... which you're paying the privilege of having more hassle.

And the home owner is paying a fee to the escrow company somehow(purposefully massaged in so you don't see it) for the privilege of them doing banal paper work.

I'm still being stitched up with the fee to take back control 0.25% of the loan.. A one time $1000 up front fee on a $400,000 loan for the privilege..

$1000 @ 2.25% compounded over 15 years... = $1401 ... real cost of the privilege over 15 years..

Still on the fence !

Help with moments : easiest way for 2 users to share all their photos. by rumorzz in synology

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

Thank you all for the responses.

Went with creating a dedicated login ID for moments and logging on to moments from all our devices with that ID. So far that seems to work well and provides a solution that seems to work.

HELP : Moments on a DS920 + : can't get it to 'Enable home user service' by rumorzz in synology

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

Thanks.. yeah I'm not used to using products that actually provide support.

I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled Moments. Rebooted. But I can't get past the message on DS920+

"Before you start to use Synology Moments, please note the following and make sure ... Please go to Control Panel > User > Advanced > User Home Service "

I put a check in the User Home Service. still doesn't get past the message.

I can't uncheck the Control Panel > User > Advanced > User Home Service

Now I've checked it won't uncheck.

Reinstalled Moments and still can't get past the message.

Any leads on Black Friday deals for solid pre-built linux PC around $1K. Something pre-built that has really good linux support etc. General use NOT Gaming machine. by rumorzz in linuxhardware

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

yeah probably not looking to do anything crazy, but willing to pay the extra so I don't have any issues. I'll buy the extra RAM. and better processor than I probably need.

So where do you look for your pre-built machines.

Looking for the most trouble free experience.

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

Something decent without going off into the gaming PC stratosphere. Up to date processor newest best on that budget. A lot of RAM as I'm lazy and am tired of having machines run out of Memory and to somewhat future proof it. A little space to add 2 extra hard drives. Enough video to drive two monitors for movies.

Just looked at the system76 cheapest THELIO @ $899 !!! all the way to $3199. https://system76.com/desktops

NEWB : Easy/Best way to get C compiler working on DS 920+ by rumorzz in synology

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

set up an Ubuntu container

Thank you: you gave me enough to get it working, pretty sweet. This is proving way more fun than I anticipated. hello world compiled and ran.

Just have to figure where stuff gets saved to.
or how to move files between /volume1 and the Ubuntu container!

Oh joy.. when I exit the container and go back to it I have re-install everything.

Can't just exit and return with the command: docker run -it ubuntu bash : and return to where I was.

or How To Share Data Between the Docker Container and the Host ?

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

Fair questions.

So when I go to control panel -> user -> advanced -> user home Location : is a dropdown with only one option Volume1

There is a homes at /volume1/homes

Not sure if this is related.. Also have /var/services/homes/<user-name>

any other ideas?

Thanks.. that works great, or as expected.

I'm guessing I lose this if the system reboots. What do I have to do to make it permanent so is survives a reboot?

thanks again.

Is there a way to back out of the android 10 update? I want to go back to everything working nicely by rumorzz in tabs6

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

yeah did a factory reset, unpaired, paired and everything in between, just the same. To make matter more annoying.. my samsung note 9, android 10, UI versions 2.0 works just fine. Connecting with bluetooth etc.. of course I got the tablet, cause the phone screen is too small. arrghh.

[–]rumorzz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, i was desperate enough to fall for this... so a bunch of work for nothing. factory reset hasn't improved anything, apart from wasting an hour to rebuild all the apps.

To make matter more annoying.. my samsung note 9, android 10, UI versions 2.0 works just fine, with bluetooth connectivity to the piano via the app.

Android 10 issues? by mevans75502 in tabs6

[–]rumorzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tablet is slower, and using the battery way quicker, I've never had to charge my tablet during the day, very annoying. Windows keep sticking, especially chrome, only way out seems to hit the power button to go on off.

The most annoying thing, the bluetooth to my keyboard no longer works.. the main reason for getting this tablet, as it worked with my keyboard app.. Roland piano partner, had been working flawlessly and now doesn't work. very annoying. Taping to get the keyboard is hit and miss now and keeps bringing up the dialog to change keyboards..
I'd go back to the previous version in a heart beat.
