Just to make sure I have the situation correct:

You filled a tub that you don’t normally use with water (for an emergency supply). A day or so later, the ceiling and wall directly below the tub are soaked. You then drained the water. 20 minutes later you still hear dripping so wonder if it was the water in the tub or something else.

It’s possible the supply line to the tub faucet cracked or otherwise started leaking when you filled the tub, but it seems much more likely that the water in the tub was the source.

The drain was plugged when the leak occurred, so the drain lines themselves are unlikely to be the issue.

This is a fiberglass/plastic tub, right? I think the tub itself is slowly leaking either from a hairline crack or from around the outside edge of the drain. This leak slowly soaked and pooled on the floor beneath the tub. Now you are hearing that pooled water drip down.

I’d do a careful crawl of the tub and see if you can find anything that appears to be a crack.

I’d keep listening to the drip rate in the wall and see if it’s subsiding. Hopefully it is. At that point, it’s figuring out what, if anything you can do for mitigation. My first thought is heat and airflow in the room with soaked walls/ceilings.

Thanks. I just went and disabled it. I also found that they had “products and services notifications” turned on. I know I attempted to disable all advertising and monitoring stuff shortly after I signed up, but I can’t say for sure whether I had missed this section at that time or if they kindly turned it on for me between then and now.

I suspect that there is “palm check” turned on for your touchpad. This is designed to keep you from accidentally moving/clicking the touchpad by brushing it with your palm while you are typing.

Look for a “palm check”, “palm rejection”, or “disable touchpad when typing” setting in your touchpad utility. As far as I know, these are all roughly the same thing.

If you look for a “watt meter plug”, you’ll pribably understand what it is at a glance. It’s a device you plug into your wall outlet (or surge protector or whatever). It has a power outlet on it, which you plug your device into, and a screen that shows watts drawn and watt-hours over time. Super simple. I think “Kill A Watt” is the most well known brand.

Agreed. I strongly dislike Elon and think he is a thin skinned trust fund baby who is destroying Tesla and already destroyed Twitter. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least to find out he is using sock accounts to praise himself… but in this article all I see are people making accusations without solid evidence. Yes, it appears he banned the guy accusing him but we already know that Elon will ban his critics whether or not those critics’ accusations are real. There is nothing here showing that the account is anything but one of his braindead fanboys.

It’s one thing to take these accusations and try to find solid evidence. It’s another to treat the accusations as solid evidence itself. Let’s be better than the conspiracy theorists.

Someone bought a pallet of returned products and found this as one of the returned products. So what?

It is important to note that this pretty useless concoction of non-working parts – dressed up as one of the best graphics cards available to consumers in 2024 – wasn’t sold as a new model. It was received by an NWR customer in a pallet deal from Amazon Returns.

…

We can’t know for sure, but the product received by NWR, apparently from an Amazon pallet deal, may have been an Amazon return where a faulty Franken-graphics-card was returned and someone kept a good working one. The outward description of a cracked PCB and melted power connector might even suggest another level of deception used to return this switched product.

Thank you!

Out of curiosity, are the 19.0 federation issues actually solved with 19.1? Or are the issues just improved with further fixes in the works?

The story I seemed to be seeing was that 19.1 hadn’t actually fixed (but maybe improved?) federation issues and that another high-priority fix was coming.

First, fair warning: I have little experience with repairing dishwashers and zero experience with that brand. I’m just a dude that likes diagnosing and fixing things.

Assuming that the internet steered you right and the error code is related to that sensor, how confident are you that the sensor is good and that it doesn’t have an intermittent failure? If I were in your shoes and the part is cheap, I’d replace it.

I don’t think you understand how spread out rural America is. A lot of areas have tiny grocery stores to support a small population spread over a wide area.

If you just want the numbers:

Starting today, Netflix is raising the price of both the Basic and Premium plans in the US, UK, and France. Those members still on the Basic plan will start paying $11.99, marking a $2 increase, while the Premium tier jumps from $19.99 to $22.99. UK subs will now pay £7.99 and £17.99 for Basic and Premium, respectively, while French prices are 10.99€ and 19.99€.

The prices of Netflix’s $6.99 ad-supported plan and the $15.49 Standard tier remain unchanged.

From the article:

At the start of the study, 20% of participants reported some level of smell or taste loss. After the third day of treatment, the proportion of participants reporting such symptoms in the ensitrelvir groups started dropping more sharply than did the proportion in the placebo group. At day seven, the percentage of participants with smell or taste loss was 39% lower in the group taking 250-milligram pills than in the placebo group. Three weeks after treatment began, all groups reported similar symptom scores. [emphasis added]

Unless I’m misreading this, they saw some notable reduction in symptoms at 1 week, but the benefit had faded away by the time they hit three weeks. This seems to imply that the drug doesn’t provide any reduction in long-term loss of smell (or at least, such a benefit was not shown in this particular trial).

Interesting, but very light on details about “cheaper than tapwater”. And the title is clickbait; the system they have is a small scale prototype and the developers only estimate that it would be cheaper than US tap water when scaled up. There is no further detail on costs in the article. Here is the extent of what it says:

the team estimates that the overall cost of running the system [when scaled up] would be cheaper than what it costs to produce tap water in the United States.

The article doesn’t provide any more info on the costs than the above quote. Dunno if the actual journal article provides more detail; I don’t have access. But I would need to see a lot more about how they produced that estimate and how uncertain the estimate is.

Dunno. My account isn’t on either instance. If beehaw is federated with your instance, you would be able to post.

It looks like [email protected] is the biggest. Search communities for “foss”

Lol. Yeah, I get it. Plus, on other social media where liking your own stuff isn’t the default,liking your own content feels dirty. So if that’s what your used to, I can see the negative reaction. Especially if you thought it was an app-specific feature and not the global default.

If you’re worried because you feel like the app is trying to promote your post/comment by upvoting it, then don’t worry. This is the default action on lemmy (and Reddit). Essentially every post and comment starts with a score of 1, so that is what people expect.

If you were to find a way to disable this for yourself (or manually remove the vote), I think that your post will get buried because the algorithm “expects” a score of 1 and your post would basically look like it was instantly disliked, receiving worse ranking for anyone browsing by anything but New. Note, I don’t know exactly how the algorithms work, so it’s possible that I am incorrect here. I could also see the algorithm ignoring the OP’s vote and your post ending up in the same position.

Additionally, with a score of 0, people are more likely to skip over it, thinking it’s bad content. Or, even worse, hive-mind downvote it.

This is exactly my perspective. I understand why people are conceptually concerned, but I’m not really seeing problematic content. Are others (moderators) doing a good job and preventing me from seeing that? Or is it just not happening in the way people are saying?

The one thing that jumps out to me is what appears to be the goal of propagandizing. I understand the goal of discourse, and advocacy. I understand arguing against capitalism and fascism. All of those things can be done in good faith. But I see propaganda as almost inherently bad faith. Is my understanding of the meaning of propaganda incorrect? It very well may be.
