hmm

its been a while since I've done this but

I'm looking at superuser.com/questions/1218576/convert-rj11-to-ethernet-cable (which is a newer question I answered) and superuser.com/questions/1218576/convert-rj11-to-ethernet-cable

I feel like the newer question's actually better and the old one ought to be the dupe of the new one

@JourneymanGeek Do you know much about web stuff?

Like WebSockets etc?

@forest nope

@bertieb got it!

I didn't quite realise how big 55 inch teevees are 0_o

lol

TWSS

More seriously

remember my plasma?

the one that basically has ONE set of inputs that works cause I periodically squirt contact cleaner at it?

55 inches :D

ah nice

mines-, ah... (sigh), guess I'm saying it anyway... mine's smaller

only 45/50 inches I think?

I think 50 is the next standard size down

50 inches oughta be enough for anyone

(PAIGE NO etc etc)

lol

I'm looking at a 55 for the new place

Kinda debating getting an OLED tho >_>

I've had the same TV now for like 15 years now.

Remote control doesn't work, which is annoying.

But I just use it for Chromecasting mostly, so I control the volume from my tablet.

about 16

2 dead remotes (we found a universal that mostly works) and on to the third. almost all the composite ports are corroded for some reason and don't work

and I can't really clean them up cause they're at the back so I use the front one

since the original remote dosen't work, we can't change the aspect ratio so the one 'modern'port is a VGA which makes everything look fat

and it gets used an hour or two a week so...

It'll likely last quite a bit longer :D

haha nice

Well it dosen't do anything fun

like our previous drier

which went through about 7-8 belts, had half its heating elements then all fail, and kept tripping the house power

That does sound like fun

one day it did it at the wrong time so mom was "we're buying a new dryer"

I recently got a new washer/drier unit. The washer auto-balances itself which is spiffy.

like without needing to adjust the feet?

I guess. It never makes banging noises when it's spinning and the clothes are not distributed evenly.

I just discovered that you can give a flash drive a custom icon (Windows)

Neat!

Just put a .ico file at the root, and then create an "autorun.inf" file with the ICO file name.

[autorun]
icon  = flash-drive.ico

Been that way since the Windows 9x days :) Same with CD drives

You can even use the autorun.inf file to create a custom right-click menu with different commands to run

I had to reformat a flash drive using Rufus and it put those files on the flash drive. :)
