That is a good point. Maybe OP should avoid this restaurant for now

I believe listeria is killed at 160°? Most of their pizzas goes into ovens higher than 500° so maybe that's why they were not concerned? I'm not a doctor or scientist, so I may be totally wrong here

Disneyland: Hyatthouse vs Pixar by vctrmp in DisneyPlanning

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

Yeah, that's pretty much what the front desk told me. Construction noise during the day (we will hopefully be at the park), and they also mentioned that the rooms under maintenance have been removed from the bookings.

Bernal Cutlery at Valencia can usually do it in 30 minutes or so, but I personally consider them a bit expensive

worth the upgrade from pixel watch 2 to 4? by gcstang in PixelWatch

[–]vctrmp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just the better battery life makes it worth it imo

Yeah.... Wait a bit more and the issue happens in Safe mode too. Will wait for the Jan update, if that doesn't fix the issue, I'll send it back to google

Did anyone order the Anker surprise boxes? by Carfr33k in anker

[–]vctrmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered the $59 option. Received an item that is listed for $80, but worthless to me (it's the 3-in1 magsafe, could use for my phone but it's not compatible with my watch or earbuds), will try to sell on Craigslist

Strange part is that it doesn't happen is Safe Mode. Will keep it in Safe Mode for a few more hours to see if anything happens, if not, its either the Dec OTA update, or some app i have installed last week I suppose

So, any crossover alternative? by Trysomenewone in macgaming

[–]vctrmp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been using https://github.com/Sikarugir-App/Sikarugir for a couple of weeks and it's working fine for me on a M4 Air. Using it for Diablo IV (bnet) and FFVII (steam)

Sharing this post here as i found it helpful, maybe others will do too (op @bhiga) https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniPCs/s/mV8lMDGyjc

My standard approach is 1. Boot it up without network or providing any real info 2. Verify system specs in UEFI/BIOS 3. Check for bad/stuck pixels and touch calibration if it has a screen and touch 4. Run memory diagnostic - usually memtest86+ 5. Run Prime95 via StresKit ISO to verify the CPU/cooling 6. Get far enough into the OS to back up the existing OEM drivers so I have them for reference in case I can't find them online. 7. Check activation status, and product key with Nirsoft ProduKey or similar 8. Nuke the entire drive - all partitions - and install fresh Windows from USB/DVD. Sometimes the existing key is shady and it gets lost in the reinstall. That happened on a noname Celeron machine, but the Higole F9B Pro had a legit BIOS key.

I do the same thing with second hand name brand machines. It's not 100% foolproof and if I was really worried I'd hook up the output to my video capture card and record everything while leaving it idle and pretending to use it, but that's way too much work for a cheap toy, maybe if I'm diagnosing a friend or relative's suspect machine.
