I'm in, as long as there's no parkour.

Re: I've gotten back into R/C Planes after a 12+ year hiatus...

Update on the Aeromaster bi-plane: If you remember, this sad puppy looked like this, after hanging for 15 years in my storage shed: http://pcabusers.org/bob/Aeromaster2025-13.jpg It took a while, but I finally started working on this plane in earnest a week and a half ago. I had to commit to the $25...

Don't pry open a laptop with a scrw driver!

Ouch. You might find the repair process interesting, Exec.

Bottom line: Owner broke a part on the OCB when he pried the case open with a screw driver, instead of using a plastic spudge tool, when he tried to replace the battery.

Latest Local Account Bypass for Win11 24H2

24H2 makes it a bit harder to bypass the Microsoft account setup and use a local account. This is what worked for me just now on a laptop I setup for a friend (this procedure is for a PC with Wifi. If you don't have Wifi, then just leave the network plug disconnected and skip to console command to d...

Re: OREOs? WTH??

It's the music that makes it.

Maybe SpaceX needs to look at Oreos for a heat shield for Starship?

Re: I've gotten back into R/C Planes after a 12+ year hiatus...

The menagerie is growing... The little ones, the yellow Cub in the back row on the far right, and the Slow Ultra Stick in the front row, on the left. I can comfortably fly here at the house. I've also flown the white Super Cub in the back row on the left at the house once. I can do it, it just feels...

Re: The new Dell Support Home Page SUCKS

Works for me, but they ARE burying them. Using my link above, I searched for an Inspiron 3910, then a page comes up with 'Let Dell automatically find your updates'. Scroll down to Additional Resources and click 'Find Drivers'. A new tab opens, scroll way down past the search filter and there's a com...

Re: someone at the dell shipper co.went christmas shopping .

Okay, I just looked up Pandion, and they deliver the last mile via USPS.

Is that what Dell is doing now? Did you have an option for UPS or Fedex? Seems crazy to deliver a laptop via USPS. Guaranteed to disappear.

Re: someone at the dell shipper co.went christmas shopping .

Man, you seem to have the worst luck with shippers. In 25 years I've only had one package totally lost, one destroyed, and twice some idiot Amazon driver left packages outside my UPS store where I have a mail box, when there is a clear sign stating that packages must be delivered during store ours a...
