   I saw this last time it was posted and took action. I already had a 250w raw heat lamp bulb sitting around and a base for a high watt bulb. I put the contraption on one of those remote control outlet switches and placed it at 10 o-clock fro

   It was fantastic. Play against actual humans under their own screen names. Integrated chat. Chess was great. I think the guy that developed them now runs a non profit and also works with louis rossmann on right to repair stuff.

   Elon Musk mentioned the "Elevate the head of your bed by 3"" a few months back. Had an open schedule that day so I said "f-it, let's go look at my lumber out back". Long story short, I put a 4x4 (3.5" actu

   This is actually something I found myself doing the past few years. A good wash cloth and self made products are 1000x better than the heavy duty chemicals we put on our bodies everyday. I have a rule: If I can't eat it, don't use

   Good points. I'm only mad about the anti repair practices and lobbying.

   Young and hungry to impress a chain of restaurants: Pandora just launched. I was installing a CCTV system at the first restaurant location. Wanted to show the owner something cool, launched pandora on the PC I just installed for him. "

   I got started in the PC repair business 20 years ago by developing a relationship with a local recycler. We built POS cash register systems and CCTV security systems (Using PCI Capture Cards). This helped many young companies also afford te

   Making "cool shit" if possible. The empty problem could mean you need a vacation or routine change. I get this way in the winter too. Best of luck to everyone feeling this way right now. These feelings are mostly temporary. 3 week

    A lot of these units have small issues that would prevent unlocking. Like a keyboard issue or an LCD issue. Guaranteed to end up in the trash under this setup.

    Yes, blindly trusting an AI product is almost like blindly trusting a google search. If people in power use it to make decisions that effect others, we're going to have a bad time. It would be somewhat like ship captains only knowing G

    Imagine the maintenance challenges of a system like this. Why are there box trucks in the "lower storage"? How about a few apartments too? This is "Solar Freaking Roadways" level thinking.

    Linux phones needs a Steve Jobs. iPhone 1 was a true MVP and shocked the world. Every pine phone distro I tried had lag without being discoverable (no spinning wheel). I don't mind waiting for things but darn it, don't make me que

    Chat GPT is somewhat accurate when asking about materials and stuff. It might help expand your vocabulary at least.

    We've have the same issues, a customer emails us from a gmail account and we can't email back. Never spammed anyone. GMail is not email.

    We had them on a repeating task to call our shop on Wednesday and remind our forgetful technicians to take out the trash. Sometimes the techs would still forget. I was thinking about giving Magic access to the CCTV to verify it actually got

    Thanks for adding more info to my "back of napkin" comment. Heat pumps are fantastic where they make sense, it's -5f here and my 24,000 btu unit is keeping up in 1,000sq ft (DC Inverter Type).

    I'm not sure you understand. The required energy is around 4X the baseline. Most smaller homes could heat on a 220V 20A circuit until it get's very cold (-5f or more), at this point you're up to almost 80A @ 220VAC additional
