Christmas light controller recall

Posted on by

If you have one of these super awesome lever Christmas light controllers from Target, Walmart, or Cracker Barrel…

…bad news. They’re being recalled as a fire hazard.

The wireless receiver that plugs into an outlet overheats.

Head here to see the recall.

Want to find out if these drones are US based?

Want to find out if those drones hovering everywhere are US based or not?

Point a high powered laser at one.

If they are US based, several members of some alphabet agency will be by VERY quickly to say howdy to the laser holder and deliver a set of fitted silver bracelets for them to wear.

Live stream the laser holder and see what happens.

If a swarm of black Tahoes pull up, the laser holder is in trouble.

If no one shows up, then we are all in trouble.

Now then – who wants to bell the cat?

USPS linking to the wrong X / Twitter account

Posted on by

Has anyone told the US Post Office ( @USPS on X / Twitter ) that the account they have listed on all of their packaging has an individual’s private X / Twitter account ( @uspsstamps ) and not theirs?

That’s a pretty big “oops”.

HBO not renewing Sesame Street contract

Posted on by

In completely random news, HBO will not be renewing their contract with Sesame Street next year.

In my opinion, Sesame Street hasn’t been the same since they let the brilliant Joey Mazzarino (“Murray”) go.

It’s always EDID for projector connection issues.

Switch from advanced to standard or standard to advanced in the EDID settings to get a device to connect that would not before.

Surprise Spectrum outage for the Texas valley tonight 12-11-24

Posted on by

Spectrum sent out a 5:30 PM email today to all Texas valley customers, saying “Hello Spectrum Customer, We will be upgrading the network in your area between 12 AM tonight and 12 PM tomorrow… During the scheduled upgrade work, your service may be temporarily affected.”

Odd. I wonder if something is in the process of breaking upstream. Or if something was found that needs breaking upstream.

Region-wide surprise outages that may last up to 12 hours are never good.

Screenshot of the notice…

Hello Spectrum Customer, We will be upgrading the network in your area between 12 AM tonight and 12 PM tomorrow. Here’s What You Can Expect: During the scheduled upgrade work, your service may be temporarily affected. • If you are a Spectrum Voice subscriber, access to 911 will be temporarily unavailable during this maintenance window. Please be prepared with other options, such as a charged cell phone, in case of an emergency. • Provided time estimates for work completion may change. In some cases, the upgrade can be finished earlier than expected. • The upgrade will take place automatically, and your service will return when it is complete. No action is required by you. Please note: Scheduled recordings may take up to three days to reset. Review your scheduled recordings to ensure all future programs are set as desired. Programs that have already been recorded will not be affected. If you experience any issues after the upgrade, restart your Spectrum set-top box by unplugging it from the power outlet for 60 seconds and then plugging it in again. You can also find troubleshooting steps online for Spectrum TV, Spectrum Voice and Spectrum Internet.

Been awhile

There needs to be a word for when you don’t whistle on the path as much anymore. Not because you don’t have a tune. It’s because you realize the forest has always had an unfair mix of kind and unkind, and when the sun starts setting, the kind ones go into hiding, and the unkind ones do not.

Paths unwinding and winding again.

Sunrise.

Been awhile.
