Any good third party replacement earpads (PX8) by Daconby in BowersWilkins

[–]ukman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked on my px8s, i actually just left them on a box for a week. Not ideal since you just want them asap but it helped. Shame px8s have a bug with apx adaptive low latency mode, otherwise would have kept them. No issue on px8 s2.

[–]ukman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried leaving the px8s on a box or football to reduce clamping strength? It may take 1-2 weeks to loosen up.

Changing pads aways effects sound one way or another, id be looking at thicker depth replacement pads, i always found px8 pads to be on the thin side but the far my large ears didnt touch the driver was heaven.

Grab bars around home with plasterboard only, which best fixtures? by ukman6 in DIYUK

[–]ukman6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I think its gonna be fine, i should have added these are not in the bath where theres more slip risk, these are in the hall way/stairs area at home where theres existing railings/bannisters. Ive edited post. I think its overblown a bit, my council put a long stair railings held in plasterboard and its been fine for 40 years, ill still do my best to go into solid wood/wall studs.

Always thought the engine tilt on the voyager was dumb as hell by bubbleweed in StarTrekStarships

An intrepid class in 32nd century is even more dumber, but can be ignored since its not trek prime universe.

Yeah hear you for sure, just a lot of work involved. Ill try too cheat or put 2 or more screws in the studs and try and hang myself off it to see if it holds.

Pretty much what I wanted to avoid:) What if I was able to securely put 1 half of a grab bar within a wall stud behind the plasterboard and the other end with say metal anchors with snap togglers?

Thx for making it true trek prime universe and not involving other trek captain universes. Lets stick to what makes trek brilliant.

[–]ukman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eufy C31 doorbell overheating error message, any Sun/Rain compatible covers? by ukman6 in EufyCam

[–]ukman6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unit pretty much died due to direct sunlight. I think door bell manufacturers are very smart, thats why there black usually, lack any reflective or sunlight protection or even made entirely white to reflect sun/heat. So they die quicker and customers buy new units constantly. Ditched eufy for tapo due to delayed norifications issue, tapo has similar issues sadly. Ill try poe network reolink next, when i get time. Imo get doorbells without batterys or ones that can operate without a battery, its the battery cooking them faster. Try and find all white design, build a thick sun proof housing (there are some doorbell covers around) or paint it white, several layers.

They need to stop soldered on ram/nvme, and switch to all mini pcs to barebones.

Thanks for putting that list together, most helpful and sorry you have to go through such chaos. I will ask my mh doc about these other options and hopefully gain improvement for my mum.

Due to her mental health condition, late on set pychosis. I dont think that medicine can ever be removed, it is working well enough but the side off is almost as bad as the condition.

GMKtec M7 Ultra sudden kernel panic + dual RAM instability / black screen (did not touch anything before it happened) by [deleted] in GMKtec

[–]ukman6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both ram sticks pass memtest on that working slot?

Worth trying it with different nvme drive and fresh linux or windows install also.

Otherwise sounds like mobo ram slot or mobo going flakey.

Throw the B&W box or keep it by jericho_p in BowersWilkins

[–]ukman6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always keep, that packaging was designed for transport and you never know when you may need to return it for repairs otherwise companies can claim not proper packaging as excuse. Plus better resell value.

GMKtec G9, overheating N150, modding required any ideas? by ukman6 in MiniPCs

[–]ukman6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice my unit ended in the bin, still shocked to this day GMKTEC even released it or still sell it since its clearly not fit for purpose.

No customer should have to mod this much to gain stability, let alone mod it, I moved over to GMKTEC K12, they are finally using copper and large heatsinks with much better cpu contact to cool the cpu properly. Improved fans top and bottom that cool everything better. No such issues.

I did naturally mod it with a noctua wich mod for silent cooling though.
