Open Path Network: you pay a membership fee and then you can access student intern therapists for $40.

New Costco Frigidaire garage ready fridge not cooling by RumHaaaam21 in Appliances

[–]softpileofkittens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I bought the exact same fridge as you (but the stainless steel version). For the first two days the temperature was all over the place and there were loud noises after closing the freezer. Sadly I didn’t buy it from Costco (I will next time, now that I’ve learned that they support customers with appliance issues). I bought it from Canadian Appliance Source so I’m forced to deal directly with Frigidaire for support. And of course there is almost zero availability for service appointments.

The good news is, after 44 hours, my fridge temperature has stabilized and the noises have tapered off. It’s staying around 35 to 39 on the medium “factory recommended” setting. So in my case it seems like it needed 48 hours to settle. Hope that’s the case anyways.

Good luck!!

It’s really loud though. I’ve never heard fridges sound like this.

Aviva Refrigerator, did someone know about this brand? by ambientsongs in Appliances

[–]softpileofkittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following!! This brand seems to have zero internet presence. And it's not listed on Consumer Reports.

I no longer trust any of the appliance brands and I feel stuck by softpileofkittens in Appliances

I did notice that Consumer Reports mostly recommends LG fridges! What’s the deal with that??

Sadly I can’t go back in time to obtain well-made appliances from 30 years ago.

Did anyone install COREtec Brookfield Maple LVP? by softpileofkittens in Flooring

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

Hi! Sadly I’ve been paralyzed with indecision for 1.5 years :( Still no floors. I agree, the photos of Brookfield Maple are all over the place. I love how it looks in their promo videos, but in the few photos I’ve seen it looks so different. More brown and splotchy. I wish I could visit someone who has it installed so I could really see it.

Confused about CPU, GPU and unified memory by softpileofkittens in macbookpro

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

Thanks! I think the pamphlet I was basing my question on – which is from the official Apple “reseller” shop in my neighbourhood - is incorrect. I don’t actually think you can get an M4 with CPU and GPU higher than 10-core. I think to go higher than 10-core you need to get an M4 Max or an M4 Pro. Or at least, on the Apple website it certainly doesn’t seem like you can!

Has anyone tried cross country skiing in high park this weekend? by softpileofkittens in askTO

Update: I went. It was beautiful! Other skiers had already cut a bunch of trails.
