I had a toaster that malfunctioned in the same manner, back about 40 years ago. The fix was easy once I realized what it was.

Just to verify, this would be: Apigenin (C15H10O5) Correct?

So, exactly what it is this ingredient? I'd like to buy some and try it.

Submerge it in a bucket of diesel fuel for an hour. Then do the same with a bucket of lacquer thinner. Blow it off good with 150 psi air compressor. Then spray it down real good with febreeze.

Just buy a powerball lottery ticket if you like to gamble with zillion to 1 odds. Costs a few bucks, but not nearly as much work as this stuff. :)

Yaay, its black wednesday again, 2025. Woohoo.

Bruce, it looks like most routers less than 10 years old have 4 antennas. But since you feel this is merely a marketing ploy, there's no reason why you can't simply use two connectors. I agree that some of the latest do look like porcupines, and wonder just how much better they work. Maybe...

I've had brand new cables be faulty, right out of the package. Sometimes they exhibit strange behaviors as well. When buying, look for the thickest and most robust built cables. I avoid the real skinny super flexible types, though I've have a couple of them last a pretty good while. I always...

Cannon stopped making the drivers for this model back when it was discontinued.. I was never able to find anything that worked and I tried dozens of possibillities. Gave up after spending probably a hundred hours of effort on this Lide 20, though from looking, I could see it was possible with...

I have an ancient cannon Lide 20 scanner that's so old I can't find any software that will run on anything later than win XP. No problem though, I just run windows XP in a virtual box. Took a little fiddling setting it all up, but works perfectly :)

Thanks. I'm pretty sute that's what it is. I must have tossed it aside because it wouldn't fit anything. Then forgot all about it.

You may be right. It will almost screw into an 18650 flashlight, but it's very slightly too big. Maybe I bought it by mistake many many years ago. Or maybe it's defective. I noticed it's threaded both on the inside and outside too.

I found this item when rummaging in a drawer for another part. I don't remember what is is for, nor even where it came from. Wondering if anyone has a clue about it. Thanks. PS, I didn't know where to post this, so it may have to be moved if there's a better place.

It's amazing they got this far with the scam! Oh well, rich kids will shell out the moola when apple blows smoke up their ass.

Never trust any USB cable, even if it was an expensive brand named item. USB 2 or lower is fairly forgiving, but anything above that speed, I always suspect the cable first.
