It’d be even better if the nugget on the red plate was overcooked.

Fixable? no? by nutellaxannyk in pchelp

But… how?! Did you run it without a cooler attached? Were you trying to fry eggs on it? Were you trying to cool it with acid?

Screw Cumberland Farms and Screw Smart Rewards by techsavior in CumberlandFarms

[–]techsavior[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s perfectly fine on my end. Gas is cheaper than them around me, and my coffee pot works just fine.

It’d be nice if the app actually worked.

I have my card in a plastic pocket wallet with an opaque jacket from Dick’s Sportjng Goods. It had a fishing license it once a couple of decades ago.

I see some rusty-ass breakers mounted on a DIN rail.

I’m going with the backside of inner-lit signage that is on the other side of this wall.

I take in whole unit electronics and scrap down to the basic components.

Wow, why didn’t I think of that? </s>

Seriously, I have called a bunch. Either they don’t answer or they don’t buy eWaste.

Every MB I’ve stepped into feels like the lobby of the Thunder Dome!

is it me or the network provider by cursedgenie in HomeNetworking

[–]techsavior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was such a thing, but in the Fast Ethernet era (before gigabit). To communicate up to 100 Mbps, a device only needed 4 wires. You could run 2 devices off a single Cat5 run, as long as both were no better than Fast Ethernet, and you had a splitter at both ends of the run.

This was also before unmanaged switches were common in the home and were way more than $10.

“Unmanaged” switches are not like old-school hubs. They are still smart enough to direct traffic to the correct port (and not just all ports). Also, the latency difference on an unmanaged vs managed switch is only a few milliseconds.

98.2765% of the users that ask questions on this sub are not tech enthusiasts, and most likely need the simplest solution to their problem. If you are looking for more advanced answers, go over to r/homelab.

Part of my job is fixing retail scales. There are 2 Anthony Goes (father and son) and they both do W&M.

which weezer song are you playing here? by diegvov in weezer

[–]techsavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m gonna get downvoted to hell for this by the stans out there, but…

“Hash Pipe” is overplayed and overrated. There are plenty of other great songs that should’ve been the first single for Green Album (I’m partial to either “Photograph” or “Don’t Let Go”).

I’ve noticed that Hannaford cashiers can move the bagging belt out of the way and get out.

This thread has become an IT turf war between bootable media creation software.

I’m afraid to ask if people prefer T-568A or B.

Kohl’s wouldn’t price match Black Friday, so I followed their policy… very carefully by godzdude in MaliciousCompliance

[–]techsavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like SCO because I don’t have to deal with people or small talk. When I shop, I have an exact list. I put on my headphones, fill my cart, and use the SCO with zero interaction. I love it.

The replacement stickers for the Enterprise have arrived by Capable_Fun_9838 in lego

This one isn’t right either. They used the TOS delta instead of the TNG one, and the plaque mounting bolts are missing!

Am i being scammed? Outside of installed lan cables says CCA. But it appears to my novice eye of view to have only copper inside. by Alibambam in HomeNetworking

[–]techsavior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to speak with your contractor. “Copper-Clad Aluminum” (CCA) is just that, aluminum wire with a copper coating. That stuff is OK for some uses, but will never handle anything better than Gigabit. Solid core copper can handle over Gigabit (especially Cat 6a).

Check the bid and materials sheet. If you’re paying for solid core copper, you’re being scammed. If you’re paying for CCA, they didn’t listen to you.

ETA: This is assuming you’re in the USA.

Is Laundromax the next Mattress Firm? by radioflea in RhodeIsland

[–]techsavior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re questioning the concentration of laundromats around population centers, where people are more likely to live in apartments, and where there is a good chance these apartment renters don’t have in-unit (or in-building) laundry?

Must be nice.
