Huh, I hadn't thought about this. Yeah, my Roku goes screen saver in only a couple of minutes, even though it isn't necessary anymore.

OLED can burn in. LCD and LED are the same. LED (not OLED) is just an LCD that uses LEDs behind the LCD screen instead of CCRTs for the light source.

What's a screen saver?

ok, it can, but not in 5 minutes like all these screen savers default to...

I can show you how to change that. I'll use small words.

Porch of knowledge.

What is the best wax for holes in your door? I thought I would try carnauba.

soundman98 · 06-17-2019, 12:14 AM

I believe it's best to consult a doctor when using unconventional substances to wax holes.

For drawer slides, candle wax or bees wax is a common go-to though

Make sure you start with a good clay bar to get all the SUV out of the clear coat.

soundman98 · 06-17-2019, 12:28 AM

Ah, it skipped my mind. I recommend pressure washing the hole really well first to remove any debris.

Remind me again why adding food to our fuel is a good idea...

I figured I would just patch it like a hole in drywall and screw paint sticks inside, and fill with spackle.
