Looking for advice on mounting bike lifts on a slanted I-Joist garage ceiling

Hi - I have two 80 lb eBikes that I would like to lift up to the ceiling in our garage. The garage was constructed with Pacific Woodtech PWI-47 I-Joists.

The ceiling is sloped, with an angle of approximately 8 degrees.

I am planning on mounting the bike lifts parallel with the fluorescent light fixture.

I am looking for professional advice on how to properly mount the bike lifts to the existing I-Joists that would meet code and inspection (and be safe!).

Pictures and/or videos would be helpful and very appreciated!

Jura J8 - Random problems with milk foamer

Hi - I occasionally have issues with the foamer on our J8 where the foamer just sputters and spits hot water, without milk being sucked into and through the foamer spout.

Attempting to run a full milk cleaning cycle sometimes clears the issue, but many times it does not - The milk cleaning cycle also sputters and spits water, without the cleaning solution being pulled into the foamer to clean it.

There are times where I have to run the milk cleaning cycle 4 or 5 times before it finally properly pulls the cleaning solution through the foamer, after which everything works fine ... until the next time.

Does anybody know why this is happening? And, is there a sure-fire way to clean the foamer when this issue occurs?

Firestick 4k Max v2 causes TV to randomly turn on

I have a few Firestick 4k Max v2 devices in my house.

A few weeks ago, I started having an issue where I would turn off my TV with the Firestick remote, and then a minute or two later the TV would turn back on. This can occur more than once when the issue occurs, where I turn the TV back off again and then the TV would come back on.

The issue is definitely a Firestick issue, and not the TV because it happens on different TVs made by different manufacturers.

This problem happens only a couple of times a week, it is very random and not frequent - but frequent enough to be a problem. I don't want to shut down for the evening and then have my TV on the whole night long because the Firestick turned the TV back on after I left the room.

Is anybody else seeing this? Is there a solution?

Screen does not automatically lock after 15 minutes

Hi - I have a new Win11 (25H2) PC with a Ryzen 9950X3D CPU on a Gigabyte Aorus X870 WiFi7 Elite ICE motherboard with an RTX-5090 GPU.

I have been experiencing a problem where my PC doesn't always automatically lock the screen after inactivity (Currently set to a 15 timeout). Sometimes the screen will automatically lock, but most times it does not.

My PC power profile is set to "Balanced". The Windows Device Manager does not have any "yellow exclamation points" for unrecognized devices, and the PC seems to be working perfectly otherwise.

I haven't been able to find what the root cause of this issue is.

Can someone please provide some help?
