God damn praise the lord for multi-meters and voltage detectors. I rewired my stove circuit yesterday and the previous home owner must have had suicidal ideations
It was asbestos cloth cabling with the neutral connected to the ground creating a short. So when I turned off the mislabeled breaker it was still receiving power from another breaker. Replaced that illegal shit with some chunky 6 awg 4 wire metal clad with 50A breakers and a NEMA 14-50R.

Yeah. I get not having the cash on hand, but I do believe that it's either you don't fix it or do it right. I wouldn't risk a 6 figure home to save 30$. if you've got an electrical issue, turn that dang breaker off that controls where/whatever the issue is, and live without it until you can afford to do it right. I'd rather live without power in a certain area than go to bed knowing damn well that tonight could be the night your house burns down.
Hahaha smart guy! I did exactly this as well. I found another 240v circuit that ran to an old washer/dryer hookup with cloth cables so I just turned the breakers off until I get the time to remove it. I can't fathom it passed inspection but it did

The home inspector must have forgotten to take off the 20$ bill over his eyes, given to him by the previous owner

Hahaha you are right though. I learned inspectors always favor the party that hired them. So always hire your own and not to take the sellers inspection report

Hello, I just got this https://sabrent.com/products/ds-sd6p sabrent USB C dock for my steamdeck. I’m trying to play games at 1080p on my 4K TV but it’s not working. If I set the resolution in windows to something other than native when I launch a game it disconnects and won’t output any video. If I change the resolution in game and keep windows native 4K it again just goes black and won’t output. I believe the issue might be from HDCP and the sabrent is not allowing output of 4K content in 1080p or some copyright protection going on. Anyone have an idea how to fix this? I’m using high quality HDMI 2.0 cables in the TVs preferred port but still nothing. Thanks

Probably because that's what his Youtube analytics are.

Do people still legitimately believe crypto is a scam? I have yet to ever hear anyone be able to actually articulate why they think so.

It depends on what you mean by "crypto" and "scam."
Crypto in-and-of-itself is not a scam. The technology works. It can be used to make purchases. It is a volatile currency, and that makes it a risky investment, but something being risky doesn't make it a scam.
But if someone mints their own coins, claims that they are more valuable than they actually are, and cons people into buying them. That's probably a scam.
If someone is saying that buying Bitcoin is going to make you rich overnight, that's a lie, and could arguably be called a scam if the person telling you this is benefiting in some way from you doing that.
If a company claims that they are going to be using NFTs in some novel way, and convinces folks to buy them, but never delivers on any of their promises, that might be a scam, too.
So while I'm sure some people believe that crypto on the whole is a scam, I would imagine anyone informed about it will have a more nuanced take. Crypto is not inherently a scam, but there are many scams involving crypto.

It's hilarious, the US has become so fixated on short term profits and capitalism if you simply offer a quality product consumers like at a price they think is fair you can easily get more sales and make more money overall
The really funny thing is, companies that started selling good products at a good price, then slowly cheaping out and selling worse products for even more money (looking at you, carhartt). (still pretty well made workwear from them but not nearly as good as they used to, and about 4x more expensive)

It's hilarious, I signed up for the SAVE act for my students loans and allowed the IRS to send data to Nelnet (my loan issuer) to see what I qualified for. Within a day or two I got spam physical mail that had information that was from sharing it to Nelnet. So Nelnet sells all your data

Hello, I was wondering if there are any AI tools out yet that will take a text prompt and generate a video from it. Like stable diffusion but for video. As everything I have found so far does not do this. It's either a template, pre rendered, or is a glorified video editor. Thanks!

To achieve what you want you need one of these https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/automatic-motherboard-repair-machine-ZM-R730A_62061115726.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.p_offer.d_title.6ae66e0399PQVr&s=p

Yeah esims have changed the game. You just scan a QR code now and you can add an esim. But pretty soon esims will be obsolete as well with web3 wallet sims coming soon!

Yeah I ended up finding the sim swap portal on the carriers website. Super simple, just put in the IMEI and away you go!

Hello, I just got an iPhone 15 Pro and when I try to set up the cellular on it from an existing iPhone 8 it says it needs to update the IOS version on the iPhone 8 for it to work. But there is no update for the iPhone 8. It's on 16 but needs to be on IOS 17 but apple doesn't support it. So do I have to call the carrier and swap it manually?
