New TPM-WMI errors
Ever since about 2 monthly MS updates ago, I've started getting secure boot errors in the event log, TPM-WMI, even though the UEFI has been already been set up for TPM 2.0 over a year now. I'm still on Win 10. MS still claims my 2 PC's are ready for Win 11, so I wonder what gives? I'm going to try u...

Re: Hoping for a blizzard.
Well, I'll have to live with 4 amp hour batteries, unless they release upgraded batteries. Ryobi tends to do that with their new batteries like they did with the 18V tool ones. I've long since bought larger output 18V batteries for my power tools. What did the EGO cost you and how heavy? More amp ho...

Re: UPS battery backup recommendations
I finally found a rack-mount Cyberpower programmable UPS that's great, but it's expensive. You can program the wait until shutdown time just in case the power outage is just a blip. I set it for 5 minutes, plenty of time to turn off my gaming rig. It conditions the incoming power and I can also tell...

Re: Hoping for a blizzard.
How do the batteries hold up for trimming? I bought a newer model 40V Ryobi leaf blower and like it so far. I use it for general yard cleaning and especially for drying the cars after I wash them. It's a lot quieter than my gas version and the rubber concentrator is great for not marring the paint i...

Considering that all conservatives have ever done for economic stimulus while in office is cut taxes and fall back on trickle down economics, which has been shown time and time again that it's a failed policy, I don't see them changing anything that doesn't follow that metric in the future either.
