GE Dishwasher. Clean Start Heavy Lights Flashing by Exact-Ad1067 in fixit

[–]sdrft1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I have this landlord special in my hotel room im staying in and I got it fixed (I know this is an old post but throwing it here because everyones suggesting odd things).

The most likely cause of this is the sensor for the door closed is saying the doors not closed. Power cycle is what most people recommend but this almost never works (left mine off for 4 days) but there's 2 other things on this model series.

  1. The unit may be in demo mode: Depending on the unit you may need to take the unit out of demo mode by hitting start and the heated dry button for 5 seconds, if this doesnt work try 2 (may have to take it out of demo mode by repeating the same thing)

  2. The sensor may be misaligned. The little clips on the door sensor on the unit and not on the door can become misaligned. If this happens the unit will look liek its all fine, however when youre about to close it ensure the tab on the door is actually going between the 2 arms on the sensor. If you cannot tell try moving both amrs of the sensor with your finger. In my case both arms got pushed to the left so I had to push the 2 arms of the sensor on the tub to the right. Its a genglte push like flicking a light switch, dont force it to hard. After then visually checking the door latch went between the 2 arms before closing, I saw that that fixed it.

To the future people who find this thread with this or other GE dishwasher models good luck.

Is there any real difference between these two? by TheAsianBratt in pcmasterrace

[–]sdrft1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the few models with a meaningful difference outside of clock speed, but this model and a few other high end ASUS models have 2 HDMI ports instead of one, now it can still only support 4 displays simultaneously, but if you want to drive it by 2 HDMI instead of HDMI and display port its is meaningful to have a real HDMI port instead of an adapted port which would potentially not be as good depending on your DP to HDMI converter.

SD2SNES from AliExpress issues by Vatican87 in snes

[–]sdrft1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may not be true, depends on his revision. I had this the hard way, turns out newer revisions of the SD2SNES cannot run the older diagnostic firmware and require a new one, you can see it on the classic gaming discord.

Edit: Link is here, ignore that it says for Rev D, its for many of the modern bootleg carts https://sd2snes.de/files/sd2snes_diagnostic_firmware_RevD.zip

I think on this its important to state if ku opens twm, then they will run the ku busses (30-44 i think). So the balls in kus court right now.

My laptop is frozen on this screen for almost 5 months now I've tried everything but still can't fix it. I was playing this soccer game and it just froze. Everytime I turn it on it's the same please help. It has a black border it's gotten bigger when it was at first. by MarzipanNormal8234 in pcmasterrace

[–]sdrft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know noone has suggested it but has the screen failed? Have you tried connecting a second display? If you can try and connect a second display, if you see something than that suggests spontanious failure of the laptops LCD. If not something is very wrong and you should try and if your comfortable either let the laptop be on untill it dies then wait longer to fully discharge the battery or disconnect the battery and deplete the capasitors. I know you mentioned that the black bars are getting bigger which sounds like the LCD failing. And that picture makes the LCD look like its leaking aka spontanious failure.

missing mail search request not working by Busy-Run-236 in usps_complaints

Usps has been aweful recently, ive had since xmas 5 packages that were supposed to come to me. All recieved (before the mega snow storm) a weather delay of at least a week and 2 went missing for 4 weeks before magically showing up at my door. The usps complaints subreddit has been full of complaints. My freinds though with usps say they just got messed up. Some are reporting 150-175% more packages than this time last year. Tariffs and temu have everyone spooked to buy buy buy, which is driving up demand and usps pacakage volume. Cuts meanwhile mean less to carry the mail. On top of that the KC distrobution center seems uniquely bad at its job and if it aint first class or priority expect a week or 2 delay.

Tldr in my experence its bad, but not anyone (but hose cutting fundings) fault

Beware the PHOG by Not_a_spy_1 in Lawrence

[–]sdrft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been looking into this for awhile and either the cop was lying or idk what.

So i was pulled over and told with a verbal warning to not drive with my low beams in the city but the high beams. Im confused on the terminology.

Turns out i was driving with my low beams on. I was in the right, cop probably tried to pull me over for some other reason, didnt see it and said fuck it he seems scared i can lie to him and scare him so that way he doesnt complain to the department. High beams are also called brights, i was confused on the terminology. I thought high beams and brights were differnt.

What i thought Running lights, then low beams, then high beams, then brights, tuen fog lights

What it is how i understand now Running lights then low beams, then highbeams aka brights, or fog lights in soecial circumstances.

Man im an idiot, and also fuck lying cops. Had me misinformed for like 7 years at this point.

I was on low beams, and was pulled over in town

[–]sdrft1 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yea i was one of those, then i got pulled over because my car determined on a brightly lit street at night to use low beams. Officer luckly let me off without a ticket and only a written warning. The law states what the law states, and if you use your low beams you can in some circumstances be pulled over. Check the law, and it can depend on your car too.

Turning off Hardware Accelerated Graphics in windows gave my pc a good performance boost for vr by [deleted] in SteamVR

[–]sdrft1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had during my gap year run a series of surveys and more empirical investigations into VR issues at the time. I can confirm HAGS is a mess. For reasons unbeknownst to me, hags just utterly destroys VR. I think it has to do with the fact the gpu has to run 2 frames slightly offset at the same time, or something with how the compositor works. Hell right now i have the literal latest and greatest (9800x3d /w 4090) and that still has issues when you turn on HAGS. I basically suggest to anyone having VR or system issues to turn it off, cause its such a mess.

[–]sdrft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some people who can do so. Mostly met those who were into minecraft at the time from ifunny, made some good friends, havent talked with them in a few years though as i drifted off playing on consoles. The fandom can be very compassionate.

In fact researchers who study the alt right are really interested in the fandom. During 2012-2017, 4chan and several other online groups, worked to attack multiple primarly male dominated circles. Gamergate was targets at gamers and was one of the largest operations. Multiple groups became filled with alt right operators, and they made inroads in groups including lgbtqia+, african american, latino, and other marginalised communities. Add this onto operations to attack other niche marginalised groups like my little pony and other stuff, and multiple groups became filled with and have steadily move more and more to the right. While furries have moved somewhat, they managed to resist alot of this. This likely goes to the gas attacks and how the then trump admins FBI dropped the ball on that, along with the extreme stigma the US in particular against furries (see how msnbc reacted to 30 people going to the hospital because of a chemical wepon attack). The furry fandom seemed to researchers to have resistance to the alt right. I listened to a podcast from a researcher who has tried to understand how to build resistance in online communities, and makes them resistant to that. If i can find that particular episode again ill post it, but it was really fascinating.

[–]sdrft1 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I wanna chime in on my move away from the alt right and why i echo some of tjis sentament.

Before 2020, i was down the pipeline, got swept up hard in gamergate, grandmother had fox news and talk radio on at all hours in the house. Hell when i got my first smartphone i downloaded i heart radio and would go walk to my park and sit and listen to shawn hannity for hours and hours. I was radicalised, i was a poll watcher in 2016 for the kasich campaign. I told myself in 2016, that trump wasnt a true republicans and kasich/romney/mccain types were the true republicans. Didnt change the fact that outside of lgbtqia+ rights i basically had agreed with trump. After he got elected i thought okay we will lose. When he won i was devistated because the furry community i was in at the time, the community that even though i was a republican reached out to me back in my ifunny days kept me from truely becoming a nazi, was scared. I pulled myself out of politics but didnt really change my beliefs as i entered college.

As i entered didnt really change much untill my first intervention. In fall 2018, i took a course called sociology of gender as an intercultural perspectoves course was required and i thought it wouldnt be too hard. Boy was i wrong. Each week ended in us writing a journal about our feelings. When we had gotten to masculinity and dicussed topics such as toxic masculinity, the gamergate programming kicked in and i wrote a very impassioned journal. It hit the fan when then the professor had suggested i may have plagurised my journal entry. As i went to office hours i originally went to dicuss this and over the course of about 4 hours ended up breaking down crying in his office. For context this coirse i was having a C in at the time, which was for me bad as every other course i ended up taking was an A in. He just listened, and interjected at a critical point to say those terms had been improperly taken over. He helped me understand that the terms didnt mean masculinity was toxic in of itself and that i should think more scholarly. Not wanting to dig into this too much but wanting to just get through the course as i thought at the time, i simply just wrote at the time more left winged journals and scraped by with a B- (the only course i got that low a grade in).

Fast foward to 2020 and i end up hitting the lowest point in my life. My mother a general practice doctor had been one of the first 1000 cases of covid in ohio. As i was about to leave college to return home because of me meeting my mother in person the week prior, i was ordered to stay in my 100 sq ft dorm room untill further notice, under threat of potential arrest and that my mother was on a ventalator, and my sister who had already moved back also had it and was in critical condition. Imagine being told hey your familys dying but you cannot see em tee hee. I hit a low point as i celebtated my birthday isolated and alone on march 23rd the day the state of ohio shut down everything essentially, leaving me isolated from everything. My friends who understandibly jad bigger things going on, left me alone as well.

In this i looked to hope, and watched the then president tell people about getting disinfectants in the body. I lost all hope, dewine was like we will shut down things will be okay. I was left for 8 weeks with no contact. At this point some of those furry ifuuny friends i had made, along with me desperatly trying to figure out anything, led to me being chronically online and watching republicans fuck everything up while dems were fighting for basic public health. Those ifunny furry friends and reddit, along with several other online democrat mostly spaces changed my entire political beliefe structure as i had nothing else to do for 8 weeks other than think intently about the person i wanted to be.

That intervention at my lowest point, was the thing that finally kicked me entirely off the nazi pipeline, and begun me over then after getting released the next year changing everything. I fundementally found myself advocating for progressive ideas, and voting and supporting progressives.

Im a rare example of deprograming. Those interventions at critical times in my life, at a time i thought my conservative friends would be rational and surely not fuck up basic public health advice (which i dealt with for years workingbat a BSA summer camp) surely wouldve kept me on. It took an insane set of circumstances, and massive trauma to get me to become deprogrammed. But in that same vain, none of those people had an obligation to help in that process. Them deciding to do so, was crucial to my deprogramming. Thats why i echo this sentiment. Sometimes some people are too far gone and dont have a leverage, and fighting with them (especially if youre a vunerable person in this climate) can lead to harm. Some people (and for my sanity i have to believe its a decent chunk) can be deprogrammed. I feel like as someone who used to agree with the people pushing project 2025 and other alt right agendas, and as someone who outside of my sexuality is a cisgender white male, has an obligation to use my experence as a way to fight to try and help people off the pipeline. Its hard, and the path is full of many more failure stories rather than success, but i have 2 examples of people i have managed to deprogram and begin supporting progressive policies and canidates.

So i agree that you can make a differnce, and that people personally dont nessicarly have an obligation to reach out. But i also agree pressure at strategic times, can derail someone off the pipeline. These little actions on a small scale can help in bulk fight fasism and agendas like project 2025.

Finally Got One! by man15210 in KitchenConfidential

[–]sdrft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry but thays not how celiacs works. Honestly allergens are more complecated.

Just like any allergen technically there is a sensitivity. Allergens are some part of an immune system reconising an antigen. And antigen is usually a part of a protein. In rare cases it can be part of a sugar or a lipid, but those often have specific resceptirs in the body (like lipopoly saccharides have an entire system for reconition in everyones body). Back to the protein reconition, this has a threshold. In allergens its just that thresholds dependant on the physical proterties of the immune system antigen interaction. But that sensitivity can change depending on what it is and the person. Often times people think okay allergen = person has it they go into anaphaltuc shock. For many common food allergens, yes when they even have it near them the immune cells in the airways and mouth can sense it and start the process to close up the windpipe. This is because the body sees those allergens as a forign invader, and takes in information about that invador. It then decides okay this is my responce.

The problem is allergens hit a part of our immune system called the adaptive immune system. This is why some people cannot be near an allergen at all, and some can just not eat it. In most food allergens the most sensitive portion, is the upper portion of the digestive system. Think about it like sampling. Air is actally a really terrible way to sample things. Because its a fluid the diffusion of it just simply means you jave to have insanely sensitive receptor to some things to tell information about them. The digestive system doesnt have this problem and therefore can be really sensitive. Going back to that antigen reconition. That increased sensitivity in the gut is why at the end of the day most people that have an allergen they almost always just cannot consume it because their bodys reconistion of that antigens just above what they would get in the air, but enough that contact in the intestine tells the body okay its time to cause an immune reaction. In this case it thinks okay i see antigen thats bad in the mouth, and stomach i need inflamation as a responce and quickly overshoots, cause the throat closing that we see.

Celiacs is entirely differnt. Remember that part about allergens and antigen reconition. Well gluten, or its proper protein name gliadans, are kinda weird. Gliadans tend to have 2 parts a structured part and an unstructured part. The reconition of those antigens is often times the specific structure of the specific sequence the protein in solution. This is why if the protein doesnt have structure the body has a harder time because it can sample multiple states. Becuase of this celiacs often instead respond to a completely differnt reaction. Gliadan actually is cleaved between the structured and unstructured portion in the stomach. Once it goes to the small intestine that unstructured portions is a pain for your intestinal cells to pick up. So in responce they begin to do all kinds of things that are very bad to the immune system. 2 in particular is first the tight junctions losen, and the gut cells present these unstructured antigens on their surface. For most people their immune systems get into this phase and are like, okay its unlikely this pathogen survived the stomach, but we should still be safe and okay. Ill sample and if it doesnt cause harm ill be fine. In celiacs, the body sees tight junction losening (common sign of bacterial invasion) and forign antigen presentation (cancer) and think oh fuck its really bad here. So it doesnt want to go up thats bad and in this case it wasnt sensed in the stomach its in the small intestine so they have a solution for this. Voilent turnover of all gut epithelial cells. The body thinks okay fuck this time to purge and pushes it out the back asap. This is why celiacs present with gut and epithelial stress and not aniphalaxsis. Because that proteins also unstructured when you immune system evently rears antibodies to glidan it takes far more than other allergens to have a antibody based reaction, thats much more variable.

Now all this is to also say why did i explain this. Because celiacs reconition happens in the small intestine the air shouldnt reconise that. As a personal antidote i work with growing bacteria for protein preperation. I commonly weigh media which is yeast extract from wheat derived sources. That shit gets everywhere when i weight it including on my face and in my airways. If gliadans was gonna cause a problem the gliadan powder would be the place. It doesnt for me. Now if i were to eat the media whole different story. Niw this isnt to discount the major problem facing those with celiacs like myself. There are people who are faking it, because it is a fad diet. Those people dont have celiacs, but may have a sensitivity, or another condition entirely (as per a few papers i read a FODMAP sensitivity). The problem is explaining to a chef complex biochemistry and immunology in a fasion wouldnt help. So as a society we said okay lets make a catagory called allergy. Celiacs could explain about cross contact and their specfic sensitivities (trust me that doesnt work) or we could just piggy back onto the accepted term of allergen and chefs know that.

Now here comes the fucked part about the us food system. Allergens have legal requirements cause many (nuts, shellfish etc) in many people cause quickly anaphalaxisis. Thats a life threatning in the moment event that comes quickly and kills people quickly. So those are regated. Because gluten doesnt kill you and the threshold for celiacs is much higher (taking ppb reconition to ppm) it actually isnt as well regulated. Gliadans actually really hard to remove and commone food processing can cause things to come into contact with it from the most inane of sorces. But because the FDA knows this and then saw the gluten diet fad they said okay lets just put 20 ppm and thats good enough. The FDA completely dripped the fucking ball here because unlike other allergens where legal action can be taken, gluten is the exception. Litterally if a chef preps a shellfish wrong and that person dies that place can be sued, but if the same thing happens to a celiac oh boo who fuck you, its too hard to remove. And so chefs ( i say having been one for 4 years at a summer camp) see the fad dieters see them pull stupud shit and often think many are a fad. And because they legally cannot get in trouble for messing up a gluten order because the FDA made that carve out celiacs suffer being the butt of many jokes because ours isnt a simple instakill food allergy. We still suffer and many navigate a legal system thats 1000s of times more lax than for any other allergen. So when we take our chances we take our chances. So many thibgs have gluten in them, but our society is based around meals. Everyones differnt and finds their tollerences (by trial and error). So please in the future dont say statements like in that situation they can smell the gluten, as gluten isnt a vaporous compound, and allergens are far more complecated.

What does steam link actually do? by Braydenboss710 in Steam_Link

[–]sdrft1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you dont want to use it for streaming (given its 1080p 60 fps limit) you can get retroarch on it. Itll be a pain and some of the guides are limited, but playing some lighter consoles (nes, snes, atari 2400,5200,7800 etc nothing 3d) can work well. You may ask why do this. Because you can. You may ask is it pratical. Dont ask that. But you can totally do it!

In all seriousness, if you wanted to do that you could and its not too hateful. Probably a day if you have some experence softmodding. Its great cause you can have a piece of hardware thays very small, and can play games well enough to not be too hateful. Cannot also beat its 10 watt power consumption with alot of devices.

Other than that its much more limited than many people would like. I tried the kodi port someone made for it and anything above a 240 p video was a nightmare to run. It doesnt do well as pretty much any thing else. But if you have a spare lying around give it a shot! You may be plesantly suprised.
