I didn't know wall-warts multiply!

Others have mentioned that the door could be "sitting lower" due to a worn lower bushing. That doesn't appear to be the case, but it's not impossible, and I'm not sure there would be a way to tell until I take the door off and get a visual on all of the parts. So I shall do that. Here's a...

We're forcing ourselves to clean out the garage this year by buying interlocking vinyl tiles to cover the floor. It's gonna suuuuuck to move all the tools, car parts, and miscellaneous crap out of the garage to install them but hopefully well worth the effort. I plan to clean out my garage this yea...

I use the fear of future clutter to try to keep my impulse buying down. Like sure, I could go buy a big 4K TV... but then what would I do with my old (still perfectly good!) 1080p set? I could upgrade the GPU in my HTPC, but I'd then have a 1060 I wouldn't have anything to do with. I'm at a fairly ...

...Lots of cookbooks, too. I should scan the recipes I want (since I have a scanner) and dump the books via donation. I keep promising myself I'll scan recipes, but I never ever do that. I haven't even done that for one single recipe! So now I just try to get these main things out of every recipe t...

Bestbuy accepts most electronics items for recycling for free. I looked at their site again just now in case their policy had changed, and they now state they charge $25 for recycling monitors. It was free before. But for the items you mentioned, it should all be free. Good to know, thanks! ...I al...

Heh, I'm in the middle of a purge myself, and asking myself all the hard questions e.g. whether a binder edition of Falcon 4.0 is still worth keeping. Oh sheesh, I thiink I still have one of those too. :o Does it still play? Seriously though, inevitability if don't check myself from being as aggres...

It does have levelers. The fridge right now is perfectly level in all directions, and I think it's supposed to be that way, to keep round rolly things from rolling around, and to keep water from flowing over the back of the icemaker and ice trays. ;) I think the cam on the bottom is the thing that's...

That's so funny Chuckula; I kept my own Core 2 Duo motherboard for about 6 years before I finally recycled it! Now after another mere 4 years or so, I'm finally getting rid of the motherboard, memory, and closed-loop water cooler that replaced the C2D system. So maybe I'm getting better? :P All that...

It's time. It's long past time. :x :o I'm starting this thread because for me, success comes from asking questions. One of my mantras is "clutter often masquerades as collections". I have a few of those I need to reduce or eliminate. Here's the first one : Do any of you keep AC adapters ar...

What's the purpose for it? Playing games, watching You Tube, listening to iTunes, or recording your next great song?

Ordered the parts today. We'll know in a few days if this was the problem.

Update : I just now took a torpedo level to the door and checked it. Well what d'ya know, it actually is plumb! It just sits lower than the freezer door by about 3/8ths of an inch, and I must have been visually fooled into thinking it was hanging at a droop. I can lift the door quite a lot with it ...

BIF

Maybe there's enough slop that just raising the door up a few millimeters will allow it to close acceptably, even though it will still be crooked? Nylon washer around the lower hinge pin, perhaps? I'm thinking something like this ? You can probably find something similar at the local hardware store...

BIF

While you're at that, also check the lower pin and bushing. These carry the weight of the door and are probably in a worse condition than those at the top. Also, is the lower pin held in place by a metal bracket or something similar? It could be bent. Yep, if I'm taking the door off, I'll definitel...

I'm really liking my 60 cent nylon washer idea right about now.

LOL, me too!

There once was a day when "Storage" was memory. In the days of getmains, and so forth. And disk space was "DASD". Now RAM is memory, even though disk and solid state media can be accessed randomly too. And disk is storage, even though memory still "stores" data. The lon...

Maybe 3D printing? Some libraries have those or maybe someone can print one for you. I don't know if something like https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/ could be helpful? That's a thought. How well would 3D filament stand up to the opening and closing of a door over time? I know my 15 year old frid...

BIF

It's just a plastic/nylon bushing? Have any local machinist friends or someone handy with a drill press? I'd bet it'll be an easier fix that you imagine. Make it out of something tougher than the original material if the top pin is steel (brass maybe?). Good point; maybe I should start by pulling t...

** All fixed. See my 2nd post on page 2. ** My 2004 side-by-side Whirlpool's fridge door won't hang straight on the hinge pins, so sometimes I walk by it to find that the door hasn't seated and now the interior is around 65 degrees F. Luckily for me, this has never resulted in the freezer contents t...

Does this mean Intel will have to go to a one-core-per-thread ratio? The more I think about it, the less I like virtual cores. They remind me of rice cakes. Or styrofoam cakes. Oh, and I wonder also...will single-concurrent-user personal computer users be forced to apply yet more performance-degradi...

I am looking forward to picking through the bones of the press reports, looking for juicy stuff to sink my teeth into. I'm sure they see their dGPU as being pretty groundbreaking. And that's slated for...late 2019/early 2020? That would be too late for my next GPU purchase, but maybe in time for the...

I too miss the system guide.

I'd also like to see a laptop build guide, but I'm kind of nuts about this stuff.

Oh, I'm willing to wait for the laptop form factor 2080 TI to become available in Q1, so you all can have Christmas off. This time.

I have a password manager. I use eWallet, because it works with Windows, Android, and iOS. But it only works "sometimes" as a single signon mechanism. For example, it won't work with websites that have one page for the account name and a different page or screen for the password entry. For...

So once each week, sometimes more often, I pay my bills going forward up to 3 weeks. In preparation for this, I log onto my bill pay, checking, savings, 401K, credit card, and corporate financial institution accounts via Firefox. Twice each month, I also log onto my electric, water, cable, cell, and...

Hello all! Apologies for dropping off the face of the Earth, but I got in a work jam right near the end there and I was fighting almost every other day with crashes on my folding rig. I have to figure out what's wrong and get it fixed, because it's annoying as hell. Anyhow, it looks like we did well...

Macrium Reflect has ransomware protection built-in. You can't delete the backup files from a backup disk (or encrypt them or do anything that changes them) outside of Macrium Reflect. That means that neither can a ransomware app do it. This means that your Macrium backups stay unmolested. Yes, you c...

I wanted to like these, but really I'm not impressed. Their ad was almost indecipherable. Poor audio on all the people speaking. Ranging from hollow sounding voices to tinny to muffled, to microphones set to very low gain. The poor quality audio in this ad makes me question if they really know audio...
