We purchased an ex-school Acer laptop that the USB2 ports were not working.
I pulled it apart and found that one USB socket was part of the motherboard and the other was a separate circuit with the power switch
I was given the last bit of ice cream at church today. I took it to the car with all our other stuff we had to take home and left it on the front seat with my Wife to go back inside to grab a WiFi access point I had to get working. By the time I got back to the car it had all but evaporated, with my lovely wife looking at me questionly saying if I had wanted to eat it she should have been sitting in the drivers seat. I feel I have a strong argument for a divorce.
My power has tripped quite a few times recently due to some faulty electrical equipment and me doing some testing. One of the issues with this is that the laptop hosting this site has a dead battery so does not stay on or shutdown nicely with a power outage. A new battery is $35, so I thought I would give repairing this one a shot.
Caught a White Crowned Snake slithering in the back door. Amy was not impressed.
Just a couple of photos of a 32GB SanDisk thumb drive I purchased today for $7.88. I chose this over the Toshiba for the same price as it came with a 5 year warranty as opposed to 1 year. I couldn’t find any datasheets on the chips as they are SanDisk branded.
I recently acquired a subscription to Disney+ and wanted to play it on our main TV. The newest device we have in the house is an iPhone 6s on which the app is installed, so I ordered and received a Lighting to HDMI adaptor off eBay.
My kids got a PEZ refill packet and it came with a code for the PEZ Play app to unlock games. My kids liked the one game the code unlocked, so here is a collection of codes I found on the internet and my own.
I have a ride on lawnmower with a battery that won’t hold a charge. My got a semi- dead battery from my daughters car she replaced. Match made in heaven? Not so much
The main select button stopped working on our universal remote and it was nearly the end of the world for the kids
We have an old Hoover dryer that the motor bearings were making a terrible noise in. I “repaired” it and the power tripped.
