  1. When trying to run a new installation of a virtual machine it fails to run and I get an error message. See attached logs. Any help would be appreacited.
  2. Great vids, thx for taking the time to share. I am in process of designing a custom grow light using an HLG-480H-B1400B driver and Samsung Horticulture LED Modules. Since I am in design mode for the light, I want to consider home automation while at this stage. I am definitely a novice, but not an uninformed one. Powering and triggering the LED driver/lights on and off is clearly straightforward, and if that is all I want to do, I would just use an off-the-shelf smart plug, which is what I do for my current lights. However, I have been thinking about the 0-10V dimming functionality built into this meanwell driver and how one would best incorporate that in an automated smart home system (I only use Google home now, and hate the trigger less and super limited functionality routines, so this could be an excuse to get into home assistant and the whole 9 yards anyway. At the same time, I realize that it might be overkill or less practical than it seemed and thus it is likely that I won’t use it much, but having said that, it could be cool to have artificial sunrise/sunset and perhaps cycle dimming for different growth stages/rooms (in my previous life in plant science R&D, we even used to simulate clouds passing this way). Anyway, what I am trying to figure out is what device you would use to connect to the DIM+/DIM- ports on the Meanwell driver that would interface with - say - your raspberry pi or computer and home assistant, such that you could ultimately set up automations, e.g slowly ramp the lights to 100% when they come on in the morning, if the lights get too hot, dim them to 80%, etc. It seems like the rp4 or the esp boards have PWM outputs but not 0-10V, only 3.3 or 5, so that doesn’t work with out trying to step up the Voltage, which seems complicated. Is there a shield or module that is built for this? I don’t want to waste money or time (or burn anything down), so if anybody could at least shove me in the right direction that would be great. A smart plug/relay for on/off I can do, the relay boards are fairly straightforward, however, I can’t seem to land on the right hardware for the 0-10v PWM dimming for a 480W high voltage DC constant current driver, other than people putting on the manual knob/potentiometer, which isn’t automation at all. Anybody help steer me to what I need???
  3. My son is starting his tution for 11+ with a private tutor (of course). My question is if he pass his 11+ and get a place in grammar school then what are the chances that if we move to another city he will get admission there in a grammar school. I am thinking of moving to another city in couple of years. Is it even possible? And what are the chances? Mind you this is my first kid attempting 11+ I have no idea. Really stressed
  4. have you looked at this set, has anyone tried it? can you believe that there will be good results?
  5. Hey there, I am in the market for a CNC machine for woodworking. I have a small business and would like to learn how to use a machine for prototyping. Our budget is in the 5K neighborhood. There seem to be many brands and it’s hard to know what is a good choice. Thanks in advance, Dan

  7. That is a great video but timing is odd because they just re-released Sonic 3 without the original music
  8. TikTok has become a household name. TikTok has been a global sensation in just a few decades. According to statistics for 2020, TikTok boasts around 700 million active users with 42 million reviews from the Google Play Store. These are remarkable statistics for an app that only allows short video creation, editing, uploading, and sharing. Given the popularity of TikTok, there are many questions. how to get more views is a common question. It asks how to delete a TikTok clip. Avoid your own embarrassment. You can delete a video at every stage of video creation. You can delete a recorded video from the Recording Screen

  10. the film institute - what is it in your opinion. Is it necessary to study there for a good career and some results? I would really like to do this business , but I don 't have film institutes in my city
  11. My family and I have found that having an Insurance broker has been monumentally beneficial in helping us find the best insurance provider for my specific medical needs. Rather than insurance agents that represent a company, brokers are different because they represent the customer by providing expert guidance, access to policy information, and a selection of personalized options. On our own, we wouldn’t have the knowledge base as to which insurance plan and coverage would allow me to have the medical care I need at an affordable cost. There are so many options that we’d be looking for a needle in a haystack. Our insurance broker also took into consideration my medications as well as the specialists I see to guide us in the right direction. Some of my medications would cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars out of pocket without the right insurance to help minimize the expense. You may be thinking that enlisting the help of an insurance broker sounds expensive. But what most people don’t know is that there is no out-of-pocket expense from the customer.

  14. Zoom just recently did this, even though I've been waiting almost a year for it. The strange thing is that google didn't give any permission for it, so it's not worth talking about a full-fledged built-in calendar. Also, google syncs its calendars to email all the time, and erases the dates when events appear there. To be more precise, not it, but users who have access to the shared calendar. And then you have to rebuild everything. Better to use printable september 2022 calendar, by the way, it ran out, we should renew it with a new one. But the Zoomtopia mails are like Outlook and the calendar built in there would be a good idea if google didn't have access with their new ideas
