  • You can still use a controller on pc although you are often at a disadvantage in most FPS style games.

    The opposite is true these days. Many of the most popular FPS games like Call of Duty provide aimbot aim assist for controller players. So even PC players use controllers to get the aim assist, which puts them at a huge advantage over MnK players in close and mid range engagements.


  • Hey since we’re doing these, how about the years-old bug where ff won’t remember which bookmark folder you were in previously when opening new bookmarks. If you have bookmark folders (especially nested ones), try opening a bookmark inside one of those folders. Then go back into your bookmarks, you’ll see you’re not in that folder anymore, you’re at the root level and have to traverse your folders to get back to where you were. It’s super annoying if you’re opening bookmarks one after another.

    Why is this getting upvoted? OP is using irony. The No True Scotsman fallacy requires refuting a counterexample as well as “The modification is signalled by the use of non-substantive rhetoric such as “true”, “pure”, “genuine”, “authentic”, “real”, etc.” Check out the “Occurrence” section.

    I had a similar experience. I was giving away a wooden table top organizer free on CL. Some guy said he wanted it, so I put it outside by our front door and said he could just grab it once he got here. When he arrived, he took it, then hung a bag of goodies on our front door knob, shouted “thank you!” and left. When we checked it out, it was full of hand-made organic soaps, bracelets, and other random trinkets. He even wrote us a note and said thanks, he makes these things and sells them at farmers markets, and to have a good day. It was such an unexpected and cool thing to do, and so much more pleasant than trying to go through the gauntlet of selling that organizer for $20.





  • I have this exact model, and I wish I didn’t. It turns out there’s a flaw in the logic that controls the heating elements. When in “Energy Saver” mode (the default mode), the lower heating element won’t heat the water. So when you start to use the hot water, as the hot water goes out, the replacement cold water coming in isn’t getting heated at the bottom. This drops the temperature of the existing hot water in the tank, and it takes several hours of no hot water use for the tank to get to your desired temp. For my family it means we get about 1 1/2 showers (showers last about 7 or 8 minutes) before the water starts coming out lukewarm. You can see this happening on your unit by activating the diagnostic mode on the panel and watching the lower element water temp.

    I went several rounds with Rheem’s customer support (including have two separate techs come to my house to inspect it) before someone finally acknowledged in writing that there’s a known defect in the logic of the controller board. They tagged my unit as defective, but so far have not been able to replace it since they haven’t engineered a fix and started producing a new version of the water heater with said fix.

    My advice, stay away from Rheem hybrid water heaters for a while until they get it sorted out. Also, pro tip: Keep it on the “High Demand” mode so that it’s always using electricity + heat pump to heat the water. That gives you the most aggressive heating profile and does not contain the flaw where the lower heater element won’t activate. This was the advice their engineer gave me, and it’s allowed us to have hot water for more than a shower or two.
