Early days I always thought the Apple TV 4K remote was pretty sweet. Less so recently.

The last year or so I don’t know if it’s a device issue or something else, but this thing is driving me insane. Constantly shows disconnected, CONSTANTLY a single button press up or down and it will scroll into god damn oblivion. It’s infuriating. I can’t figure out what’s causing it.

The ATV is sitting on a cabinet 4 DT off the ground and in plain view, and I’m sitting about 10ft away. Nothing in the way. Is this a hardware problem? Or have other people experienced the same issues?

Anyone else hear music blaring through tyandaga right now? Can’t figure out where it’s coming from but damn it’s loud.

My understanding of the code rules requiring RSD are that you now essentially have to have a disconnecting means between every module, to reduce the voltage to a level meeting the compliance criteria.

The only thing I have found online that isn’t proprietary and locking you into a certain brand/manufacturer is Tigo.

Are there any others that folks would recommend?

EDIT: Not looking to do micro inverters.

The calipers on my wifes 2017 Nissan Qashqai appear to be sticking. The right rear caliper burned through the inside pad long before the outer pad. When I started looking for aftermarket replacements, a friend recommended that given the cheap options out there, It's better to try rebuilding to original OEM ones that came with the car instead of buying new aftermarkets.

My question is, where in Canada should I be looking to buy a rebuild kit?

Ottawa will provide $10 billion in financing to upgrade and expand the Churchill Falls generating station, develop the Gull Island hydroelectric project, build transmission lines and implement a 2,000 MW onshore wind energy project in Labrador — with the exact location and other details for that wind project under consideration by Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro.

According to the federal government, altogether these projects represent the largest clean energy investment in North American history — valued at nearly $70 billion — and will nearly triple the current generating capacity of Churchill Falls, with enough power to light, heat and cool all the homes in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver combined.

Let me start by saying this is just a point of curiosity by a few technicians messing around with some tech in the shop.

Basically, we’re curious about the ability to just stick a NACS port on whatever you want, and be able to plug an EVSE with a NACS plug head into it and charge it/transfer power.

Looking to get some thoughts and input from those who have some comprehension of the PLC protocol that Tesla uses, as well as the PWM duty cycle operation of the pilot pin on the connector.

I have the option between two dirt cheap Ninjas and am trying to decide which to go with.

An older CP307C Hot & Iced Machine (approx 3 years)

A newer CFP301C Dual Brew Pro (approx 1 year)

Have three family members with the 307 that all love it, but no one with the Dual Brew (yet I haven’t seen any major complaints on it from brief research).

Any thought from owners on which I should go for?

So I’ve never been much of a coffee snob (I regularly buy my beans at Costco for Christ sake lol) but I definitely appreciate a good cup. Recently my wife and I have been looking at getting something new to replace our old basic Cuisinart drip coffee maker. We just need something that works for our morning routines, and I saw a lot of recommendations for the Aiden.

Weekends we are both home and each have a cup or two in the morning. Weekdays I leave at 530am and she is usually up and has a cup at 7am before doing morning routine with our toddler.

It seems the Aiden from my research will work for our single cup/small batch requirements, but is there something different we should be considering? Another factor is that my FAVOURITE coffee beans, my wife does not like. So at times, even if it’s a single cup or small batch, if I am really wanting my favourite, then will make two separate pots of coffee.

What should we be looking for that folks would recommend?

My wife has a black and white dress that had a mark on which she sprayed with a spot cleaner. She then put it in our laundry tub to soak for a bit and unfortunately forgot about it until the next morning.

And now seems to have some blue staining on the white portions of the dress, almost like tie-dye.

We took it to a local dry cleaner, who said they tried to clean it and couldn’t, but I don’t know what they tried or how much effort they actually put into it.

Does anyone happen to have any recommendations on some of the more extreme methods of trying to remove these blue tie-dye like stains from the white portions of the dress?

GE fridge with an inverter compressor. What are tell tale signs that it’s failed? Getting too hot? Not hot at all? Making a clanking noise?

Moved my fridge out to the garage and never had an issue with it before, but now the compressor isn’t turning on and the ‘yodder loop’ in the wall of the fridge going to the in door ice maker is getting quite hot. I cleaned off the condenser loop in the back of the fridge and confirmed the condenser fan is running, but still no change.

My wife had a dress that got bird poop on it so she sprayed it with some spot treatment and left it to soak in the sink but forgot about it.

The dress is black and white (soft cream white not bright white) and it looks as though some of the black has leeched onto the white in spots and looks almost like a tie dye blue on the white now.

Local dry cleaner said the colour dye transfer like that they can do nothing about. It’s a $500 dress that my wife absolutely adores so I am hoping to save it if I can.

I’ll try to get pictures posted asap but I wanted to check here if anyone has any recommendations on removing the dye transfer. I’m perfectly fine doing any and all amount of meticulous and manual labour if needed, I just want to try and save it.

It’s well known that it’s tough getting an appliance technician who works on Miele appliances.

I’m wondering on folks experience in Burlington and surrounding areas like Oakville and Hamilton on their experience in this regard prior to deciding if I want to go with Miele for my next washer/dryer purchase.
