I use a Drevo Joyeuse for travel because it’s very low profile and wired/wireless

Drevo is out of business though :(

I have a 70 inch 4k Samsung tv and ToTK looks good on it.

I know at some point Reddit had a big list of what TVs were worth buying but I haven’t been on the site since Apollo died

Goodwills are general worse in my opinion.

They set up an auction site and now all the good stuff is up for auction instead of sitting on shelves

It’s hard to tell without a circuitry layout, but my best guess is that there’s probably capacitors in the power brick acting as an electrical filtration for the motors to make them operate smoothly and reliably.

The capacitors are probably discharging some electricity that are keeping some circuit protective device alive. Unplugging the power brick is probably the only true way to completely remove electricity from the unit.

Also, if you have a warehouse membership from like Sam’s Club or Costco, they often have the synthetic oil you need for an absurdly low price.

I was buying 5 quarts of oil for like $20-30, I bought a 4 pack of Costco brand 5 quart motor oil for like $40

One of my old coworkers dads worked at a canning plant. He said his dad was in charge of the labeling and claims that almost all canned food is the same.

He said they’d run x amount of green giant labels, x amount of del monte, x amount of best choice, etc all from the same batch.

I’m with you, my dishwasher is more of a sanitation device than a washer.

So AC devices typically are just a low profile plug and wire. Since they natively run on your houses power source there’s not much going on other than internal fusing which doesn’t really take up that much space.

Most electronics, however, are DC, a lot of electronics are being made as dual voltage. Regardless, this means that the device needs some kind of voltage converter. Manufacturers can either build the converters into the unit itself, or they can build the converter into the plug circuitry and save space on the item the consumer is handling. Consumers have vastly chosen to deal with bulky wires and slim devices.

The ones where I think about alien buttholes

Your symptoms seem quite a bit worse than mine, but I bought a Cloudnine c989fs and it mitigated a lot of my issues.

I think if you want the community to grow, you pretty much have to poach other communities content at first to get a bigger following

Isn’t that one still considered a massive flop? I remember everyone hating it
