"documenting the change" is a pipe dream.

If you've ever worked in maintenance, active production, etc, you'll be lucky to even have schematics. And trust me, there are a lot of hacks of people fucking with controls for 30+ years straight that soooo much of it is full of "fixes" like this, whether it's something pushing a button in, or pieces of metal instead of fuses, or wires jumping over what's "in the way" like whole safety systems and e-stops, contactors forced to run, etc etc etc.

Drills and taps two holes, adds a metal strap, and sacrifices a tool to save a 5 minute fix of jumping over the contact with a 2" piece of wire lmfao

I work on industrial controls. Very likely that the switch is momentary, meaning it'll go back when released.

Sometimes there's a little piece of plastic in them to remove the momentary setting, but this works too lol. Fuck it, it's maintenance.

Relatable.

The CEO of our 401k company just embezzled millions out of 17 companies' plans.

Luckily we weren't one that was affected.

But goddamn how can you be that evil

I have a semi-decent Intel NUC that got decommissioned from being a game server, so it's not really in use.

Do you have any recommendations for a Linux distro or home media OS that I could set it up in the living room to play some emulators, watch Plex off my NAS, maybe some adblocked youtube or spotify, etc?

Pick up and play would be key. A wireless keyboard would be fine but a remote would be ideal

Does an old school washer dryer that runs off timer relays / knobs / push buttons really have a CPU? I ask because that's how mine is and I haven't had to look at the controls but they seem dead simple to me. I get there's different cycles but some simple ladder logic should be able to handle that, no? Half the world runs on simple machines like that.

Yeah, looking up how to do something on an 8 year old post and finding deleted comments is getting really old. It's even worse now that Google's search engine has gone down in a bullshit flaming AI crapshoot and adding reddit to your search is the only way to find a human answer anymore.

Who said anything about me being a woman lol

I'm a gay guy, although it's not exactly something I bring up around my coworkers. The exception being the shop I worked in for 7 years because those fellas were like family.

That's cool about your daughter though, the trades are a very straight male dominated field

Learned a trade that I love as a career (industrial electrician), fell in love with my boyfriend, bought and renovated a home from 1890 together, plan to get married eventually!

If you are torrenting anything, you're seeding that data, period. So therefore you're uploading. It's just the nature of the beast. It's why you may end up with a letter from your ISP if you raw dog it with no VPN. This may differ depending on what country you reside in.

That being said, best thing I ever did was set up a NAS a couple years ago. I seed all day long and build ratio on private trackers. I watch whatever I want in the quality I want via Plex.
