The Flight AttendantHello <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>! I need suggestions for a new laptop. I am most comfortable with windows PCs & have been anti Apple (mostly bc they have less storage for more $) but I do not like windows 10 or 11. I do not want copilot or any AI horseshit or spyware disguised as a service. I know that people are going to suggest Linux but I had a Linux laptop that died & I don't have time to maintain it. I will probably purchase from Costco. Is a MacBook worth the money? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adviceWanted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#adviceWanted</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adviceNeeded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#adviceNeeded</a>

Lulu Helle :partyparrot:Ok odd question, which I need answered so my brain stops screaming. We had a new boiler installed yesterday. Despite my voicing safety concerns, both the boiler and the washing machine share the same in built fused plug. Now we put a laundry on and it blew the fuse in the wall socket plug. Opened it up and inside was a 3amp fuse. Wtf says us and replaced with a 13 amp fuse. Was this correct? <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/electrical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electrical</a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/advicewanted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#advicewanted</a>

swachterOk, here’s an aesthetic question for the internet. Do you like the smaller, more uniform-accurate badge, or the more visible large service badge?(These haven’t been fused yet so the plastic rectangle on top should be ignored. Also I draped the unfinished flap over an existing bag to give a sense of size, so ignore the color of the side pockets.)<a href="https://toot.boston/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/StarTrekTOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarTrekTOS</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/AdviceWanted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AdviceWanted</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/boost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#boost</a>

SiranaHey Fedi, we're looking into getting a small projector instead of a TV. However, I would prefer to have one without "Smart TV" functions or own Android OS or so. I just want to be able to project movies and games from a computer, laptop or phone onto my wall, like in the "good ol' days", because I don't really trust so called "Smart Home" devices. And I don't know how much they might start complaining about compatibility issues when the projector OS considers the connected OS outdated or vice versa. Is this a thing? (I know I had trouble connecting my ancient tablet with the regular Smart TV of a relative a long while ago, even with a cable, or android phones with an apple device etc.)Obviously the modern ones with great visuals and a good sound only come with Android TV etc. because your average user doesn't want to need a second device, so the only ones I can find so far without one are the ones with mediocre quality in picture and sound and quite some age.Is there a sort of a middle ground, a non-smart mini projector with good enough quality to replace a regular TV?Edit: Exchanged "beamer" with "projector" after learning "beamer" is a looks-like-english-but-doesn't-mean-the-same-in-English German phrase...<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FediHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediHelp</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/MastoHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MastoHelp</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/projector" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#projector</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SmartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartHome</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/TV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TV</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/AdviceWanted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AdviceWanted</a>

swachterDoes anyone have recommendations for earplugs for very tiny earholes? Every time I go to the doctor and they look in my ears, they go “wow you have really small ear canals” and most earplugs are moderately uncomfortable to unwearable. I had some Etymotics at the metal concert last night which definitely helped with noise reduction but also were moderately uncomfortable. I’d prefer not to go the over-ear route if possible. <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/AdviceWanted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AdviceWanted</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/advice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#advice</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/hearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hearing</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/earplugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#earplugs</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/RockMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RockMusic</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/HeavyMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HeavyMetal</a> <a href="https://toot.boston/tags/concerts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#concerts</a>

After four hours on double-track rough gravel, my arms were about ready to fall off. Does anyone have experience with suspension stems?

BlueWindsHello fediverse, I am looking for some advice on a person or company who could help me gather some family documents from the public record.Specifically, I'm looking for the immigration records for my grandmother - 1930-40s - and my grandparent's marriage license (same time period). I don't know the exact years or locations, but I do have other details to help track it down. I know she was in Hartford, CT in 1954 when my father was born.I'm not looking for advice on how to do it myself, or places to start researching; I have so much going on right now, time is valuable. I'm looking for advice on how/who to pay to just get it done.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genealogy</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/advicewanted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#advicewanted</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#seattle</a>
