So a refurbished laptop I bought had 1 year warranty.
Invoking it for a noisy fan (failing fan bearing?). Person on the phone suggested I try cleaning it first.
Only problem is that the blades are on the other side, meaning the whole cooling system needs to be detached to access it for cleaning. Meaning it'll need a new application of thermal paste. Meaning I'll need to buy some as I haven't done this sort of thing in years.
I can refuse right? ๐ช๐ด
If it's a refurb place and they're cool, they should be able to just swap it with another from the pile.
Bonne nuit
I got power back early this morning but all my devices kept beeping and the lights were going from bright to dim back to bright all in concert.
Is anyone experiencing this as well?
Jeez that was extreme traffic today.
Got back from the bellarine in just under 4hrs. Usually it's 1.5.
Did a quick pit stop for some jackas chips.
I still believe the equation is... RR>KFC>HJ>McD. Always a bit of a let down and I never learn.
I can respect your position but when Maccas chips are just right, I think they put HJs to shame.
No power, mobile network is barely working. Canโt send texts and most calls fail. Fortunately I have solar and generator but the destruction is crazy. Powerlines over roads and people are driving on them. No police to be seen. My husband went out to work (Iโm wfh today) and relayed back the destruction - he couldnโt get mobile coverage until back in suburbia 20km from home.
Have got the fallen trees off the fences and patched them up to stop animal ingress/egress.

Rewatching Fargo 3.
geebus. multiple times in every episode the characters are presented with moral choices and every single time they choose wrong, they dig their own hole deeper
except for gloria and winnie , they do the right thing
it's interesting to see how the morally weak are no match for the truly evil and that there is no winning against evil, there is only survival
Rather fortunate here, we just had a power flicker at quarter to 3. We didn't cop much rain either. I saw Mornington got some rain from the water on my manager's door in a meeting.
Now I just need to make sure the restaurant for tonight got my booking...
