I want to get a kill-a-watt and see that right now the EZ and Flex are basically the same price on Amazon. I can’t find any reviews of what the Flex does different except AI slop full of nonsense. I would like it to retain measurements and runtime after an outage so I don’t want the original. I think these two both retain that, but what is not the same?
Does anyone here know (for sure) what the differences are?
I had a Series 6 Nike and just traded it in for an SE3. One complication I had doesn't seem to be an option anymore. There was a weather one that would show the low/current/high for the day in the corner on the California watch face. It's not showing me the option for it now. Did they get rid of that on newer ones or is there some way to enable it?
I have this style tub faucet. Diverter is stuck in the up (shower) position. I squeezed with all my might and it cannot budge. I don't want to bang on it and risk breaking something. How do I unstick this?
We are a company. Two of our managers have speakers in their offices (one an echo dot, the other a home mini). They are on the Wi-Fi of course.
Some of our staff (with Samsung phones) are seeing these devices pop up as available to cast to and can see what's playing or control the music, etc.
Are there settings the device owners can use to stop others from being able to cast to or "see" the speakers?
TeraCopy has this "test single files against a checksum in clipboard" option. But I can't find any details in the online help about what this option does exactly.
EDIT: I understand the concept of a hash comparison. I'm a bit confused because Teracopy has multiple options (on different screens) about verification and I'm not clear on what's different from them all.
I'm not a Teams expert at all. I run IT for a small company (about 34 employees). We've only used Teams a couple of years post covid, but it's basic functions of chat and online meetings are well ingrained in our day-to-day.
We have 1 conference room with a laptop, Meeting Owl, and TV in it. The way we use this is with a shared (non-administrator) account everyone uses to get on a dedicated laptop in there. There's a "conference room" user in our M365 and people invite that user to meetings that will be in there. So, log in with the shared laptop user, Teams is already signed in as the conference room, join meeting. We also share content from the laptop for meetings, both to a Teams meeting and also just to the TV for in-person only meetings.
We use a Meeting Owl for 360 camera and speaker on the table.
Is a Teams Room a worthwhile upgrade for us? Can a regular Windows 11 computer be repurposed into a dedicated compute controller for it? I have spare laptops available that are powerful and "free".
I'm interested in the benefits of a Teams Room, but I know I won't be able to get approval on thousands of spend right now.
We've got several staff in cubicles, and we have issues with hearing background noise when people are in online meetings - or echoing when neighbors are in the same meeting.
Looking for recommendations for headsets that are good quality and can reduce background noise being picked up. When searching I mostly see gaming headsets in the results - is that my best avenue?
For Windows computers, either 3.5mm or USB is fine.

Hello. Hoping for some advice. The small sized company I work for is moving from an old residential building into a proper office space, and thus I get to layout my first server rack. What we have currently is all towers/desktop devices, so I'm going to be replacing and adding a bunch of gear - but I want to save some cost where I can.
Our existing on-premises server is a Dell PowerEdge Tower. We're going to keep that on its side on a shelf for now as we don't expect to replace it for another 2ish years, at which point we'll go rackmount.
My question specifically is about saving money for a monitor for the server. At the current location, the server sits on a desk out of the way and has a regular old monitor, keyboard/mouse hooked up. I usually remote into it anyway, so it'd be only for rare/troubleshooting access. Seems that rackmount consoles are unreasonably expensive for what they are. I'm thinking I just get a 1U drawer and keep a combo keyboard/trackpad in there, and then I can run HDMI up to that drawer from the server and hook it up to something like an Elgato Cam link so I can use my laptop/iPad as a monitor when needed temporarily.
Is this a crazy idea or am I onto something?
If anyone is knowledgeable and wants to share advice or look at my current plan for laying out the rack, you're welcome to offer.
Moving into a new office space with proper access point ethernet in the ceiling. We're coming from an old home that was converted to offices, so regular Eero were a reasonable choice when we got them. Now I'm wondering if I'm better off spending on new access points to take advantage of POE locations, or does someone have a splitter known to work ok with them?
Hope this is ok in this sub.
After buying several of the 4v tools, I definitely have more batteries than I need since they all come with one. I was going to list them on eBay but figured some folks here might want dibs on grabbing a spare.
I have a two of the 2Ah brand new unopened. One in a stand-alone pack, and one that came with a tool but never taken out of package or charged (tool removed from pack though). And I can part with 1 or 2 other 2Ah that are like opened and barely used. I've only ever initially charged them up; I don't use multiples at the same time, so I only ever used two of the batteries I've got.
Reply or message me if you're interested. Was thinking $15 for new and $10 for barely used, plus whatever actual shipping is to you. Or I'll meet you if you're local to southern New Hampshire. also, they're the newer style that does charging from the USB port also, not old stock stuff.
I just switched to Bitwarden a few weeks ago. Having the TOTP codes saved to the vault entry for autofill is super convenient. I love that ease of use. Never had it before.
But it got me thinking, is that too risky? If you keep your TOTP authentications on a different platform from your password vault, doesn't that add a layer of protection against keeping all your eggs in one basket?
If someone did get access to my Bitwarden, then they have two modes of authentication instead of just one.
Am I being too careful, or is the risk low enough that I should just enjoy the convenience?
P.S. my bitwarden vault itself has 2FA via a reputable third-party authenticator app and a physical Yubikey for backup. That other authenticator app also has the yubikey setup.
For more context, these are business passwords and having the TOTP accessible to the administrator if I'm suddenly gone is convenient for business continuity. Just trying to sanity check the risk assessment some with advice.
