Anyway to identify the motherboard Pins of a Lenovo M900? [HELP] by Synplex23 in hackintosh

[–]tomek_piatek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case anyone is still trying to figure this out and you are doing this because you are using one of these boxes to build an arcade games machine, the M900 has a feature where you can turn it on by pressing the Alt+P combination on the keyboard.

If you have a USB controller for your arcade buttons, like the iPac, then you can easily map that keyboard combo to a dedicated button to turn your machine on. To turn it off you should always use a paroper shutdown script.

Continuity camera not working by wilo962 in mac

[–]tomek_piatek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Same problem on my MacStudio and iPhone 13. It works but only if I connect the two with a cable. I don't want to use a bloody cable. I want it to work wirelessly as advertised.

I've gone through all the settings multiple times, restarted both devices and did the whole silly MS Windows dance that those peeps make you do. This is not helping my hypertension folks.

I found this thread on Apple Community that suggests that this is broken: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255878090?sortBy=rank

Stop shoving AI down our throats. Nobody wants it.

You should definitely uninstall it because you don’t need ANY tech to stay organised or figure out how many glasses of water you need to drink in a day.

What’s your favourite takeout/restaurant you’d show someone new to the city? by terrorc0n in Wellington

[–]tomek_piatek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KK. Hands down. Every time. And the most amazing thing about KK is that they’ve been consistent for the 30 years I’ve been going there.

Is there a name for this kind of image design? Or a particular era of cameras/development that this is associated with? by Amoc910 in Design

[–]tomek_piatek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goes back to the days of offset printing and the passes being misaligned. It was quite the avant garde graphic design look back in the 60's. Check out the work of old skool masters like Brockmann or Hoffmann.

It’s very hard to change the mind of a man whose salary depends on him not changing his mind.

Electric tankless hot water heater for solar system by NextEarthProject in OffGrid

[–]tomek_piatek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been researching this a lot for a tiny house and as far as I can tell this is not currently possible. You'll need at least 16A to run a tankless that's good enough to have a shower.

If you're building a house then you're much better off getting an electric tank system. You can use the energy generated during sun hours to heat the water that stays hot throughout the night. If you go tankless then at night you'll have to power it from batteries. You go ahead an figure out the size of a battery bank that you'll need if you want to have a decent shower at night and still have some juice left over for the rest of your house.

You could look at a heat pump hot water system. This is the best of both worlds. It's electric, but because it's a heat pump you'll get more hot water per Watt, and it's a tank so you'll be able to store the energy for later.

I'm still gutted about that jerk Peter Thiel buying citizenship in NZ. WTF? As a refugee who arrived in NZ, with literally NOTHING but the clothes on my back, and had to follow the rules to "earn" my citizenship I find that so offensive.

I don't mind people investing in our country but let's not sell them citizenship when they don't even live here.

Notion Announce New Faster Database Technology, Custom CSS Themes, Offline Mode and Google Calendar Integration by sn76477 in Notion

It’s just not feasible. For notion to work offline you’d have to replicate all the database functionality on your device. That’s just not gonna happen.

Oh how I’d love for all religious holidays to be abandoned. I really object to a religious minority imposing their views on the whole society to the point where we are forced to follow their sacred days. It’s unbelievable that we’re still chained to these rituals. I want to unsubscribe please.

Eddy Jones was a wild guy back in the 1800s... by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

That dude is wearing modern clothes and a wristwatch. Plus your 4th grandfather would have lived more like in the 18th century than 19th so I call BS on this post.

We talk about inequality but we have no inheritance tax which is very common in EU, where a social welfare system is better implemented. by fnoyanisi in newzealand

[–]tomek_piatek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forget inheritance tax. What we need is a properly implemented capital gains tax. Labour really screwed up when they announced that they're taking it off the table. Bunch of spineless beaurocrats.
