my bosch 800 dryer keeps stopping mid-cycle and flashing 'clean filter' but the lint filter is spotless, what gives?

-
my projector keeps turning on by itself or turning my soundbar off in the middle of the night, it's creepy.
That's HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) acting up. It's the feature that lets one device control another over the HDMI cable, and it can get overly chat…
-
the corners of my pl1 image are blurry or out of focus no matter how i adjust, the center is sharp.
This is almost always a physical alignment issue, not a lens problem. The projector isn't perfectly square or level to your screen or wall. You need to fine-tu…

my hisense pl1 projector won't turn on at all, no lights or anything, it's just completely dead.

i'm assembling the desk and the pre-drilled holes in the frame don't line up with my tabletop.
