Question for JaG: tomatos NPK ratio: 4-1-5 instead of 3-1-3?
Comments (2)Could just be rounding. A ratio of 4:1:5 is equal to a ratio of 2.7:0.7:3.4, which would round to 3:1:3. TomNJ...See MoreReplacement motherboard for Lenovo H415 Desktop
Comments (10)This is what I might consider doing if it were mine. Probably it won't apply to you but then again, it might. After confirming that it was really the motherboard and not a cable, video card or power supply, I'd consider bidding on a used board, such as this one. I'd first make sure that is the proper board, not bid over $40, and realize it's a gamble. As for licensing, I know absolutely nothing but it's my impression that as long as you're replacing a defective board with the exact same model, you can use the same license. I assume activation by phone with an explanation would be needed though. Maybe I'm misreading? From Microsoft's Licensing FAQ: Q. Can a PC with an OEM Windows operating system have its motherboard upgraded and keep the same license? What if it was replaced because it was defective? A. Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer --except the motherboard-- and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the license of new operating system software is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty. The reason for this licensing rule primarily relates to the Microsoft Software License Terms and the support of the software covered by those terms. The Microsoft Software License Terms are a set of usage rights granted to the end user by the PC manufacturer, and relate only to rights for that software as installed on that particular PC. The system builder is required to support the software on the original PC. Understanding that end users, over time, upgrade their PCs with different components, Microsoft needed to have one base component "left standing" that would still define the original PC. Since the motherboard contains the CPU and is the "heart and soul" of the PC, when the motherboard is replaced (for reasons other than defect) a new PC is essentially created. The original system builder did not manufacture this new PC, and therefore cannot be expected to support it. But like I say, that's just what I'd consider doing if it were mine....See MoreHow to clean a strainer on the Hoffman 415C?
Comments (3)When ball valves are connected to the bottom of the wye strainer they are typically not hard piped to anything. Purpose is so that you can place a bucket under it and open valve and flush till clean visibly and see what comes out besides. If there is a hard pipe connected to the outlet of the ball valve then yes it must be cut first. Then leave disconnected if possible or reassemble with a union....See MoreI'll Show You Mine/You Show Me Yours - M 4/15
Comments (27)Back in 2012 we were invited to a fancy dinner to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic that was sort of meant to emulate being on the ship, including replicating the meal served in the First Class dining room that last night on the ship. To get into the spirit of the event I found and printed out some tickets purportedly like those used on the ship. They had a reproduction of a poster advertisement Ready to embark, old bean, what what?...See More- last month
