It is useless to try to adjudicate a long-standing animosity by asking who started it or who is the most wrong. The only sufficient answer is to give up the animosity and try forgiveness, to try to love our enemies and to talk to them and (if we pray) to pray for them. If we can’t do any of that, then we must begin again by trying to imagine our enemies’ children who, like our children, are in mortal danger because of enmity that they did not cause.

Today I was supposed to be editing my story, Instead I spent 6 hours, finally going through the power board of my Samsung Smart TV as well as its main board, checking all the cables and voltages of the pin outs and all passive components...the TV failed last christmas, and it's working again now, what I did to get it working again was repaired the pins that weren't connecting to the cable connector properly and changed a slow blow fuse #TV #SMPS #Electronics #FaultFinding #selfrepair

Well, there's your problem. New oven has been on display in the shop for a couple of years and has absorbed moisture into its heating elements. This has lowered its insulation resistance and increased its earth leakage, which is causing the RCD to trip.

I'm running it for a couple of hours without an earth connection to dry the elements out, and then I will take another reading.

Whoever on the #windows team at #microsoft decided to not differentiate between no internet and no network and just show a globe icon, is a fucking retard and has made wifi/authentication/internet issues so much harder for IT teams to solve.
