    💬 OT Anybody ever do any light TV repair?

    I ask because our 75" TCL Roku bricked this last week. It won't turn on or anything. We've already ordered a replacement, but I thought I might try a small thing or two on it before I recycle it. I've seen a few videos/threads where people say it is likely the power board. The replacement of...

    Power BI Experts - Conditional Join Syntax?

    I've done a few searches, but haven't been able to articulate the question enough to get a good result in Google. I have a table, Purchase Invoice Line. It can have two different line types, one is a general ledger account and the other is an inventory item. I want to bring over the...

    Change Permission for Kid's Fortnite account

    I'm so incredibly frustrated. I gave my kid his own Xbox account for his PC and set him up. But it keeps telling him that a request was sent to me to grant him access EACH time he wants to play Fortnite. I can't seem to get the notification nor turn off the requirement. Anyone know how to do...

    Houston grand jury declines to charge man who shot and killed robber inside taqueria

    The original story was buried in another thread. I honestly thought the shooter would catch some kind of charge, though I'm glad he didn't. He basically disabled the shooter, and then put some extra rounds into him once he was down...

    Outer Buckle - Ford (DB5Z-7860045-EC) Is this the right part#?

    The seat belt buckle in the 2nd passenger row on my wife's 2016 Ford Explorer broke. Whatever piece kept the seatbelt locked in got smashed down, and when I tried to pry it back up, it completely broke. The problem is that I'd like to make sure the part number is correct. Unfortunately I've...

    Gaming Gaming desktop for son

    My oldest son wants a computer for some gaming. Though his tastes in gaming shouldn't require a PC that can run some crazy game at 120fps and in 4k. I think at most, maybe something that can handle something like Fortnite. What kind of money are we talking here? Can we get a reasonable...

    Outside Projectors for Movies/Gaming

    My initial post was buried in someone else's thread, so I thought I'd break it out and maybe get a few more eyes on it. I bought an inexpensive projector a few years ago as a test to see if we'd do movie nights or gaming outside. It turns out that we would have a use for it. I'm not looking...

    Golf Carts - What to Know?

    My wife and I have been toying with the idea of getting a golf cart for neighborhood cruising, parks, pools, splashpads, etc. We're not looking to spend a fortune on a new one, especially if we ultimately decided that it's not for us. What should we be looking for as far as a used one...

    Any Power BI experts here?

    In Power BI, I'm trying to establish a relationship between an item master and an inventory transaction table. The item master (Item Number) should be a unique/non-duplicate field that would match to 'many' inventory transactions. But PowerBI is telling me that the table relationship would be...

    Having my AC fixed / recharged

    I'm finally getting the A/C fixed. Though I should have done more research on the business. It sounds like they charge a diagnostic fee of $300 and it doesn't necessarily get deduced from the work they do. If they replace the compressor, I'm going to be pissed if they charge me $300. They...

    Enjoy the hilarious consequences of over-volting toys

    I don't know if I've ever seen anyone post these, but there are a string of videos where they progressively start over-volting toys to see what happens. Some are quite funny, and some of them the toy just ends up smoking or stripping the gears. My oldest kid loves watching them...

    Ridiculous HR Training

    We have a 2-hour training session with nonsense like this. What a complete waste of time this is. I wish we could just skip to the test at the end. This adds zero value.

    Phantom messages on Galaxy watch

    It's so weird, I've been getting these strange texts from an unknown numbers on my watch. They only go to my watch and never appear on my phone. It's so odd, I have to call Verizon to figure out how to stop it. I guess I can see if I can try blocking that number on my watch. But the messages...

    Subway Chokehold Death: Former Marine Catches Charges

    I'm kind of curious what others think of this particular case. I don't think I've seen anyone posting about it. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/daniel-penny-expected-to-be-charged-in-jordan-neely-chokehold-death-sources/4325732/ It's hard to make a determination unless we know how long...

    TCG Bicycle Bros Enter - V.inner tube woes

    I have a Trek Verve 2 with H5 700/45 Bontrager tires. I've gone through 3 inner tubes in the last few months. The first one developed a leak on a seam, couldn't even see it with the bare eye. The 2nd tube had a visible pin hole, both leaks were on the inner wall, not tire side. And as I was...

    Uninsured motorist - Insurance company being shady?

    The insurance company for the guy that hit my Tiguan is National General. They sent a letter to me saying that they are denying the claim because they said his policy has been 'rescinded back to policy inception and thus declared void'. What kind of horseshit is that? Does that mean he wasn't...

    Struggling to get bicycle tire pressure on Presta valve

    I've been searching and I can't find any definitive answer. I wasn't paying attention at the bike store when purchasing my wife's bike. It came with Presta valves instead of Schrader. I hate the Presta. Our bike pump can do both, but I can't get the pump to read any pressure on the Presta...

    🏡 Better Homes Any exterior lighting experts in here?

    We just ordered some landscaping and palm trees that I'd like to light up. The landscaping company quoted me at $550 for the transformer and roughly $200/light. I understand those amounts included labor. I'd like to hear anyone's experience with transformers (installing them and their...
