Been using an LG OLED for a monitor for 5 years. 2 tools make is every so helpful. LGTV Companion which automatically turns TV on/off when I wake computer. And Color Control, which allows me to set keyboard combinations to turn brightness up/down.

LGTV has an issue waking the display if the TV is on wifi. So I'm going to wire it again, and move it to the new VLAN at the same time. So I set the switch to tag the port and set its PVID, so it will pull the correct address from OPNSense. It pulls IP but will not get a DNS address, and I can't ping it. I tried for 30 minutes resetting, different cables, static/dhcp. Nothing works. Yet wifi on the same VLAN works perfectly.

So seems I'm stuck w/ turning my TV on manually for the time being.

Keyboards, I hate keyboards.

First I know I said it before but I will say it again, south facing leds suck and are/were the dumbest way to fix an issue. Trying to find a keyboard that does what I want that has proper north facing leds has become increasingly difficult. I want my damn shine through actually readable keys. I want just the legends lit up and find the pouring light out from around the keys to look nice as a show piece but not as a usable keyboard.

Oh my W key is starting to act up on the Logitech G915 I'm using. Honestly what I would like is a keyboard with the functions and size (100%) of the Logitech G915, but just not low profile and hot swappable. Alas that seems to be impossible now. I can find close, but always something, and usually that is the led orientation. Or not being able to do per key lighting. Really it is almost 2026, why is it harder to find good keyboards than ever before it seems?

And come on the W key? Of all keys to start randomly stop working!!!

My last logi keyboard was the S key to fail and it was membrane even, thos fancy small ones with the built in touch pad. It barely has any usage was using it in the server rack.

Look into non-cherry based keyboard though like optical and magnetic switches and you might find LED placement close to what your hoping for.

I know people will bowtie a table, I assume something similar could be done for a bowl?

Started back at it again today. Then it got worse. The bottom cracked, LoL. So it got a bit shorter, but able to get it going again. The only problem with the knot was having a thicker side wall. The existing cracks didn't expand. Mulberry wood.

How has no one/company created a basic TPMS sensor health checker/tester? Everywhere I look, I have to buy an expensive OBD2 reader with those functions. When all it needs is a transmitter and receiver operating at those frequencies to send/receive the signal to test if they work, it seems like such a simple tool, yet if I want something like that, I would have to build one, crazy.

I know its silly, some vehicles like even my older Lexus they ned to use the actual Toyota software to figure out which sensor is not working and also to activate it, I have 3 gone on my car I just check my tire pressure manually l I was pretty annoyed year back when I bought new tires asked hem to install two new TPMS the ydid then they said they couldnt turn them on and to come back I never did go back and well I never did activate them myself even though i have the software on a older lapto to be able to do it just not sure how lol

The only reason I want them back on the car is my wife, I even looked into the kind that screw on to your valve stem, damn, they're big.

Ya, I'm not sure Marz, I really thought by now some company would have something basic, even if there was one for US vehicles and another for Japanese/European vehicles.
