Something I’ve personally noticed as someone who will perform a light disassemble before tossing an “broken” item.

The plug in oil heaters that look like radiators. Efficient, low cost. 3 now, total. The knob spins and I can no longer turn it on. Unplug. Unscrew. And a broken Dshaft knob falls out. They don’t make it obvious and easy to get to these knobs, you have to remove the large side panel without bothering the wires to get to a small panel to unscrew to get to the knobs. Then you have to find or make a Dshaft knob to fit, which isn’t easy.

Not familiar with exactly what you are talking about but Amazon sells universal Dknobs for $8. You put whatever size you need into the knob.

6mm aren’t necessarily 6mm on Amazon. And when they do fit, they’re not ideal. Typically a hazard for snapping off the rod at the base, so it’s used like a key instead of a perma knob. Presently have another one, but it is 7mm.

I think I’m going to mill one out of wood, drill a hole, place tape across part of that hole, and use resin to make the flat half. Which is ridiculous and tiresome.

Send me dimensions and I'll 3d print a half dozen to send your way.

Reply to Zephora so he sees it.

Also, 3d print services exist if you can find a model that works online... Or if you have a printer a knob if like. 05c worth of filament.

My phones.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A15 as a substitute work phone, it plays music for me when I'm there overnight and whatnot. Provides me entertainment. and I have a Samsung Galaxy A32-5G which is the main primary phone with a plan on it.

The battery life apparently drains faster than I remember it. Sometimes when I leave the phones alone for awhile after a work week, I'll usually get a good extra day and a half off from them. But, sometimes I have to keep charging because from 100%, they dip down to 94 and 96 respectively.

They used to not be that way. I have 5 devices (couple connects, amps and plays) that I’ve kept on S1. Haven’t gotten any new features, but never lost any in their whole S2 debacle. Going 10+ years strong.

The first Unifi Video NVR. It was a device with an Atom D525, running Debian 6, when Debian 6 was about to EOL. It went on the market for 6 months and then was pulled.
