How to find a movie/short film title that was forgotten
I know I can’t ask for help here and tipofmytongue has already been used also various chatbots so I’m kind out of options and I’m wondering if you guys know any other forums or websites to help me find a movie/short film title that a friend can’t remember? They only remember some of the scenes and tone of the cinematography
Ancel FX2000 "Failed to verify EX_DOWNLOAD.BIN"
Well shooting my shot here since no else had this problem online and tech support still hasn’t replied to my request in 4 days now. Anyways I was trying to update my system, an ancel fx2000, continued to “check for new version” and boom a power failure because of a downed power line somewhere. I go to boot it and originally got a message relating to “DOWNLOAD.BIN” or something similar. I was and still able to access the contents of the SD card via my laptop’s SD card reader and deleted, not before copying over to my desktop, both Download.bin and ex_download.bin to see if that fixes. It got rid of the original message but now displays “Failed to verify EX_DOWNLOAD.BIN.” Anyone have a solution on what to remove from the contents of the SD card or even a way to just get a fresh copy of it’s contents in case I need to reformat it? I’m grasping at straws here and appreciate any help. TLDR: Struggling with an Ancel FX2000 after a power failure during an update. I deleted (still have a copy) “Download.bin” and “ex_download.bin,” which resolved one error but caused a new one: “Failed to verify EX_DOWNLOAD.BIN.” I need help fixing the SD card or obtaining a fresh copy of its contents since I haven’t received a tech support response.
Possible youtube IP ban
Pretty sure something screwy was happening on YouTube’s end. Had a captcha and didn’t let me solve it (can’t recall the error code) ended up turning off my router for 30mins to get a new IP (compared both the old and new one) and added a VPN to my router for good measure and it seems to be working, not sure for how long though. Seems other people also had this happen so just wanted to post my findings here just in case anyone else is having this.
Why isnt there an aftermarket way to bulk up pinch welds jack points on cars
I always wondered this since I noticed that a lot of cars always have at least some damage to their pinch weld jack points, usually from hydraulic jacks, lack of adapters, or dropping the car onto jack stands hard. I get it not everyone has the right equipment or experience but it also seems like a poor and cheap design from the manufacturers. Why hasn’t there been a method or aftermarket product that kinda bulks up the pinch welds. Hell I don’t think I ever seen someone even weld or bolt on some steel to kind of guard the pinch welds from bending. Is there a reason for that, like structurally? Why are those hockey puck looking adapters the norm, just because its easier? Tldr: Many vehicles suffer damage to their pinch weld jacking points from improper use of jacks, prompting the question of why there isn’t a robust aftermarket solution or protective design from manufacturers to prevent this issue, besides those hockey puck looking adapters?
How to keep Engine Control Unit (ECU) Cooler
Hope this is okay to post here but I noticed some problems coming from what I assume is the ECU of my car overheating, speed gauge going crazy, engine stalling/shutting down but acting normal after a few minutes to cool down and weirder part no error codes. So I looked under the hood and noticed it only relies on a heatsink and the position is close to the engine itself (about 1.5-2 feet away), nothing connected to the radiator and I doubt any good airflow is getting to it. Pair that with the 113°F weather I’m experiencing everyday, I can see why it’ll overheat and shutdown to protect itself. I never opened one before so I’m a bit worried about doing that but I’m sure there’s some kind of thermal interface that can be changed. Doubt that will address the main issue though, so I’m also thinking heat shield. I’m open to suggestions on other ideas So TLDR: I’m wondering if you guys have any ideas on how to improve the temperature of the ECU located in an engine in scorching desert heat?
How do I test cast iron cookware for lead

Test cast iron cookware
So I found a griddle that was in pretty bad shape seasoning wise so I stripped it and noticed a small shiny area which worried me about lead.

Whats the purpose for usernames on signal?
Been using signal for years and love it and got the majority of my contacts on to it. My question is how are usernames useful now? You still need to register with a phone number with signal to limit spam and bots afaik and I’m assuming you should protect your username just like you do your phone number anyways because spam, malicious files/messages, etc… What scenario is this addressing where an average person gives up their username to a stranger? The only one I can think of is online dating or other online interactions like on forums. Just seems this is just more tailored to the people who need to be pseudo-anonymous for whatever reason than an actual privacy feature. Even then for the anonymous people does that mean usernames will be able to be changed? Tldr: Questioning what scenario does signal’s new usernames address for the average Joe?
Blocking users on home
Hope this is alright to ask here but was wondering if there was a setting I haven’t enabled that would let me block a user without having to visit their “profile” for a lack of better words. I mostly block spammers that i see on home feed and well I kinda don’t like to expose myself to their other content just to block them. Thanks in advance
