An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I did a decent job of hiding all the power and internet cables under the shelf, you can only see them if you sit on the floor..

What is this sorcery? My electronics corner is a fire hazard. Some of the cables are weight bearing

for a few seconds I thought the wooden plank on TV was your cable rolled around the TV about 500 times

And I was like „that’s a shit post to show off the broken display“. Then I noticed what I was really seeing

You did too good. Making the rest of us look bad. I will not be showing this to my wife!

What is that white box and why didn't you hide it behind the tv?

Edit: Just realised I sounded douchy. You made a great job!

Or attach it to the underside of the wooden board above.

Otherwise great job OP, looks really clean.

That's a great idea, I'll look into that..

Thanks, it's Strong Android TV box. It does everything. I'm going to fix it under the shelf as suggested below to finish tidying things up...

Ex-pro installer here: good job, looks very nice.

[–] useyourmainfinger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's a Strong Android TV box, does everything, it needs line of sight for the remote though. Another guy suggested fixing it to the shelf above which I think I'll do to finish things off...
