    What's Paul up to?

    Isn’t that odd. We actually have two sizes of pots and the switch to LED was seamless. D :cool:

    What's Paul up to?

    Just curious, we just replaced the bulbs with the equivalent dimmable LED bulb. Same look and no installation. Why change the fixture? D :cool:

    Which Linux? Be Kind…

    I know you asked about Linux but I’ve recently seen stories about W11 being able to be run on supposedly “non-compliant” hardware (especially the special security hardware) so even though MS wants you to buy new hardware it sounds like you can still run on older platforms. Why not run on W10...

    Tool Caliper with broken screw

    Looking closer at your photo I see now that it didn’t break at the end of the thread like I thought so you would have to shorten the stub and make another adapter screw to get more travel. What I meant was the screw with it’s integral pivot pin would be slid into the slot in the leg then...

    Not fair - possibly scam

    I think this is the sign of someone who is tired of dealing with the lame and inconsiderate that just walk away from their ad and let it expire in a couple of months rather than taking it down. I actually consider that kind of seller above average. Usually the lame ones don’t reply but I had...
