So I rented a Sienna hybrid for a family road trip, 4 adults and a baby in diapers. A minivan is perfect right? Well sort of. The minivan is an awesome way to move a bunch of people and their junk. On the other hand the hybrid was the most numb, disconnected driving experience I've ever experienced. I'm not one of those guys that says they enjoy driving a manual. I have owned multiple manual vehicles, and given a choice I would drive an automatic every single time. But OMG that Toyota was so disconnected from the gas peddle it was crazy. Pushing on the gas just made more noise from the engine and a slight suggestion for more speed than any actual command. Lifting off the the gas was basicall

This is sort of a related to electrical question. I have accidentally dropped an ethernet cable into a standard 2x4 stud bay. I figure electricians pull cable all day so maybe there's an easy way to retrieve it.

Here's the situation: The cable feeds from the bottom and runs behind a built in refrigerator. The low voltage box is 8 feet above the floor. There is cabinetry around the fridge, so the closest I can get to the hole is about 2.5 feet away and there noway to see down the hole. There is no access from below, but I can get into the attic to access from above. The fridge can be moved out if necessary. There is no access from the other side of the wall from the fridge.

When do you sell tools that you don’t use that often?

I’m out of space and don’t want to get rid of anything, but something has to give. This space problem has happened in the past and I’ve sold tools that I’ll “never use” only to have to buy them again. (A thing that I find truly annoying given the price of good tools)

I just bough the Flex 2.5G 8PoE, its 210W power adapter, and the U7 Pro XG with a 10GbE support. I thought I could power the access point from the PoE on the 10GbE port. Apparently I thought wrong. What is my way forward? Buy a PoE injector for the 10GbE port? Or did I miss a configuration setting somewhere? Thanks

We've just upgraded all of the laptops to WiFi7 and who wouldn't want to take advantage of more speed?

I'm looking to increase the security of my small office network while at the same time simplifying it by using VLANS. We're also slowly upgrading to wifi 7 capable laptops. So now seems to be a good time to upgrade the wifi as well. The business does graphic design work, and the office is small enough to be handled by one wifi access point.

Here are the network details:

1. pfSense four port router to direct all of the traffic
2. internal ssid and wired network for employees on wifi access point 1
3. ssid for IoT devices on wifi access point 2
4. ssid for guests on wifi access point 3 (yes 3 separate physical access points using cheap wifi routers)
5. DMZ web hosting for client communicat

My ranch house with a finished basement was built in 2019 by a production builder and some corners were cut. Instead of installing a proper ERV they set the bathroom fan to run 24/7. The house is tight and well insulated, but the fan is at the end of its life and making a racket. Does it really matter where the bathroom fan is located? There is no door to the basement, it is completely open to the main floor. Can the down stairs bathroom fan be turned on to do the 24/7 ventilation duties?

There are many questions about moving from gas or radiant to induction. So I thought a picture of me cooking dinner on an induction range would save a thousand words. I know this isn't a cooking sub, but if you think about it the choice of range comes before the cooking. The pan with the dish rag on top is rice. It tends to bubble over while cooking and the rags catch it before it makes a mess. The other pan is lentils and have boiled over once, but the rag caught it. The pan in the front are the spices and browned onions for the lentils. There's no rag under that pan becaus

I've been with the same company for my home and car insurance for many years. It's time to renew and looking around there are a lot of posts saying my current insurance company is terrible. I have no complaints, but I also have no claims. If I were to move is there an insurance company that is better or are they all bad? I'm looking for home and auto coverage in Utah.

I see bot and AI posts everywhere on Reddit. What do they get from posting?

The title says it all. Google is no help because it just shows every wheel.

Question first:

Is there a way to extend a keyboard and mouse to remotely control a MacMini from a different part of a building? The MacMini would use AirPlay to an AppleTV in a conference room. I've tested the network and it works fine, but it is too far for bluetooth to reach.

Hi all, I have the OG MacbookPro M1 from 2020. The SSD is full and at 5+ years old I can justify an upgrade. Most of my work is done at a desk with a big screen and a full size keyboard. On occasion I need to share with a group and we use an AppleTV connected to a TV. Since my need for a laptop is pretty limited I'm considering buying a M5 MacMini when they come out. I'd much rather spend the budget o

I just finished a tool buying binge. It started small with a tool here and there for a DIY project. Then the projects kept getting bigger and my tool spending grew with it. I just finished my basement with 3 bedrooms, a man cave and a full bath. If I needed a tool I bought it. Framing gun, yup need it. Nice table saw, always wanted one. Multiple sizes of trim nailers, why not? Oh, the list goes on and on and on. I justified the tools by saying it's less than paying someone and I can always sell them later.

It's now later and I like my tools. I don't want to sell them, but I don't have any place to keep them or projects to use them on. My table saw keeps looking at me with puppy dog eyes say

Let's say I'm in a clear space ship where I can see out in all directions. Leaving from earth I'm traveling at some big percentage of C toward the black hole at the center of our galaxy. What will I see outside my space ship looking forward, backward, and to the side?
