Re: Tiger Woods injured in rollover car crash, extracted with 'Jaws of Life' - Yesterday

I have heard a few things on media. 1. He was waiting for a result of an MRI, or something to see how his treatment was going, and whether it looked good for that big tournament coming up. 2. And that before he took out of that Hotel, or where ever he was leaving from that morning, he took a while in his vehicle, possibly to get information on his phone., and then he took off in a hurry., S

I tend to not go with it being 7 am, so likely no alcohol involved. I am not saying that it was, but if you are a drinker, you tend to drink. Doesn't matter the time of day. Or all night long. Cant wait to hear how he is doing.. And I only want to hear good news...

Logging into my iCloud account at iCloud.com, - 7 days ago

For the longest time, every time I go to iCloud.com and log in. It has my email address as my name. I choose that and then enter my iCloud password. And it always SHAKES, and says its wrong. So the only way I can get in, is to choose another user name, which is the same email address I was choosing by default, and then enter the iCloud password, and it would accept and I would get in. So, same

Re: the writing was on the wall?!.....this long running sitcom ending at the end of this year....... - 7 days ago

I like the actor who played her boyfriend, now husband I think. His timing was great. Then I looked him up in the IMDB and discovered how much he has done. I don't miss Anna Faris, her character was always too whiny.... Sorry to see it go. But the way I see it, from what I have seen of Chuck Lorre, he will take the same people he uses in all his sitcoms and put them in another. He re

Re: Let's talk air (AC/heat) filters ... - 9 days ago

I use an Air-Care 24"x24" Gold Electrostatic filter. I don't know if I cleaned it incorrectly or it is just getting old. But I cant get it clean enough to hold up to the sun, and not see all of the dark areas. I don't know if that is dirt or if I didn't vacuum out the dirt before I sprayed a weak solution of kitchen dish soap on it to clean. $50 for a new Electrostatic. And I never b

Re: Fixing Printer Printhead, Suggestions on Copper Trace - 10 days ago

I did the best I could, then reassembled. Think it has a new problem.... As it says the ink unit cant move, but it does move to the left. Each time I try, and then it bangs into the left side... Got it back together, and had the experience and felt I did what I could, no telling what might be wrong. or how close I came. I could keep it for some parts, but not necessarily the whole ink cart holder

Re: Fixing Printer Printhead, Suggestions on Copper Trace - 10 days ago

I have eraser, and I have contact cleaner. Just worried that that one is really missing the copper contact and is really a circle of dark, Not sure if the spring will make contact. Mine don't look as good as YouTube video., but no flies

Re: Fixing Printer Printhead, Suggestions on Copper Trace - 10 days ago

Those springs don't seem to show any sign of what they would do on the other end. On another exact printer like that HP 6700, all I see is the nipple for the ink cart. So maybe its a mechanical movement of some kind to show the cart is there at all. Yes Flies.... mentioned in comments as sell on the YouTube site.

Fixing Printer Printhead, Suggestions on Copper Trace - 10 days ago

I am following a video on how to take apart a printhead that is getting an error, that it is not there. It shows cleaning those 8 contact points where the springs sit. I notice that the one towards the top left shows a lot of green, and not a lot of the copper color. Is it toast, or is there a way to make those springs make contact with the circuit board? Following this 13 minute video, guy

MacBook, iPhone 6s. connection said update needed... - 11 days ago

Wanted to backup my iPhone 6s, so I connected to the MacBook Pro. Got a message with small iPhone appearing, when connecting to Finder (Catalina), that I needed an update before it could backup. I stopped that process and went to my iPhone, and it was up to date. I think 14.4 or something like that. So I went ahead and did the process, and I suppose it must have done some sort of update

USPS and UPS , how to you refuse delivery if not home - 15 days ago

Re: Have two Identical HP 6700 printers but one prints when color low other doesn't - 15 days ago

I got into the administration page, and can see all the options. I don't see the Supply Settings where I can change the setting to a very low amount, as in your 2%. Maybe my printer doesn't have that, or I cant find it. Cartridge protection is off. Cartridge Chip Info is ON, I guess this sends anonymous info somewhere. I don't use a lot of HP Genuine Carts. Mostly LD Products rebuilt carts.
