Winfast PVR2 creates 1.99GB or 2GB files / splits files to 2GB

So, my ancient copy of Leadtek’s Winfast PVR2 usually works fine, then one day it decides it’s going to split recordings at 1.99GB no matter what you ask it to do.

Reading some ancient forum posts, someone else mentioned that it will do this if it thinks it might be on a FAT16 (or FAT32?) drive. It isn’t in my case, but still it’s been known randomly to switch into this state of mind.

The solution is unknown, but switching to another physical drive seems to resolve it.

Review of the Aldi Stirling Black Label Air Purifier – EPI208

This is a fairly cheap unit at $129 – does the job but even on low it is quite loud compared to units such as the “Mi Air Purifier”. Had they given it a ‘quiet; setting it would be better in my opinion.

When I bought it there was zero information on the Internet about it, but now the manual has shown up at http://www.stirlingappliances.com.au/LiteratureRetrieve.aspx?ID=195680

Still no idea where to get replacement filters – but really there isn’t much complexity to this product and you can probably make your own.

If the handle breaks off, undo all the screws, remove the spring from inside the lid, remove the unlocking pin, drill small hole, slide in cable tie. Done

 

 

Spotify Web Player loads then goes to a blank page

Alternatives: Spotify Web Player loads then goes to a black page

Spotify Web Player black screen. Spotify web player black page.

I think this situation is caused if you attempt to use the Web Player from more than one device, or several times without using the app. The solution appears to be simply to open the Spotify app on your phone or PC, play one song, then try the web player again.

Could also be “Clueless Crossword maker, Code cracker maker, or codecracker maker or codecracker generator if you’re here via Google.

I have a wife addicted to these things, but don’t like spending money on books etc. She doesn’t like to do them on screens; so I thought maybe there’s a program I can use to make them.

Google searches were fruitless, until I thought to try Clueless Crossword Freeware, which took me to this page:

From there it’s not hard to use the Snipping tool to capture a game, create a text box A to Z, stick it in Word or Publisher and Print it.

Caffitaly CAF S14 Leaking.

If you have an S14 that is leaking, it might be the yellow elbow connector. It appears to have been over-torqued on mine and it fractured.

I don’t know if replacements are available.

You can’t, I tried. Not enough VRAM I think.
