The dropshipping model has gained significant traction in the world of e-commerce, offering unique advantages over traditional retail and other business models. By eliminating the need for inventory management and reducing upfront costs, dropshipping presents a viable option for aspiring entrepreneurs. Here's an in-depth look at the advantages of dropshipping over other types of business.

1. Lower Startup Costs

One of the most appealing aspects of dropshipping is the minimal initial investment required. Unlike traditional retail, where purchasing inventory upfront is necessary, dropshipping allows you to list products on your website without buying them first. This significantly reduces the financial risk and barriers to entry for new businesses. For more info about dropshipping format you can visit hlts.kr website.

2. Reduced Overhead Expenses

Without the need to manage a physical inventory or maintain a warehouse, overhead expenses in dropshipping are considerably lower. Entrepreneurs can operate their business from virtually anywhere with an internet connection, eliminating the costs associated with renting a storefront or warehouse space.

3. Wide Range of Products

Dropshipping allows you to offer a diverse range of products without worrying about storage limitations. You can easily expand your product catalog to include the latest trends and seasonal items. This flexibility enables you to cater to a broader audience and quickly adapt to changing market demands.

4. Scalability

Scaling a dropshipping business is more straightforward compared to traditional business models. Since you don’t handle inventory, your focus can remain on marketing and customer service. As your sales increase, the bulk of the fulfillment process remains with your suppliers, allowing you to scale rapidly without the logistical challenges faced by traditional retailers.

5. Location Independence

Dropshipping businesses can be run from anywhere in the world, offering unparalleled flexibility. As long as you have access to the internet and a computer, you can manage your business from any location. This makes dropshipping an attractive option for digital nomads and those seeking a flexible work-life balance.

6. Low Financial Risk

With dropshipping, you only purchase products after you've made a sale and received payment from the customer. This model minimizes the risk of unsold inventory and reduces the need for clearance sales or significant markdowns to clear stock. Additionally, it allows for better cash flow management, as funds from customers are received before paying suppliers.

7. Easy to Get Started

Setting up a dropshipping business is relatively simple and can be done quickly. Platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce offer user-friendly interfaces and integrations with dropshipping apps like Oberlo and Spocket. These tools simplify the process of product listing, order processing, and inventory management, making it easy for beginners to start their own online store.

8. Focus on Marketing and Customer Service

Since inventory management and fulfillment are handled by suppliers, dropshippers can concentrate their efforts on marketing and customer service. This focus can lead to more effective promotional strategies and a better customer experience, ultimately driving more sales and fostering customer loyalty.

9. Advantages Summary

To summarize, here are the key advantages of dropshipping:

• Lower startup costs: No need to purchase inventory upfront.
• Reduced overhead expenses: No warehousing or physical store required.
• Wide range of products: Easily expand your product catalog.
• Scalability: Grow your business without the logistical challenges.
• Location independence: Operate from anywhere with an internet connection.
• Low financial risk: Purchase products only after a sale is made.
• Easy to get started: User-friendly platforms and tools.
• Focus on marketing and customer service: Enhance your promotional strategies and customer experience.

10. Conclusion

Dropshipping offers numerous advantages over traditional business models, making it an attractive option for aspiring entrepreneurs. Its low startup costs, reduced overhead, and ease of scalability provide a pathway to success with minimal financial risk. By leveraging these benefits, dropshipping entrepreneurs can build profitable and flexible businesses in the competitive e-commerce landscape.

I've been going to gyms in a handful of countries around the world and have... noticed... some things. These people are completely goddamned clueless and the "work" they do is straight up unethical because of it.
They are little more than college students with a major in PE. They have very little training themselves and have probably been trained by individuals who are just as clueless. It makes some sense when you understand that their primary role at the gym isn't to educate the members, it's to generate sales for the company.
They don't know what a good workout program is and don't know what good technique is either. I see it all the time. Personal trainers standing by a customer doing squats or deadlifts with horrible technique and the trainer not only doesn't correct them, but they congratulate them on the reps and tell them to add more weight to the bar.
To the credit of everyone involved, I'd say fitness is a topic that is extremely difficult to educate oneself properly on, as there's a ton of shitty information out there, but one favor you can do yourself is don't bother paying money for a personal trainer at a commercial gym.

First time reader of Wolfe and I'm having an amazing time working my way through shadow and claw. I had to read this chapter a couple times to try and grasp it; it's extremely dense. I'm still finishing Claw of the Concilliator so my thoughts may change. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
The Tale of the Student and His Son Analysis
“Once, upon the margin of the unpastured sea, there stood a city of pale towers.”

• The unpastured sea evokes Hamlet “the undiscovered country” death and the unconscious. Pale refers obviously to a light color but also feebleness. However, a tower symbolizes wisdom and stability and the balance of forces (light and dark, fire and water, order and chaos). Wolfe is already painting this city in contradiction.

“In it dwelt the wise. Now that city had both law and curse.”

• Another symbol of duality: loss and gain. The wise give the law but simultaneously curse the city.

“The law was this: That for all who dwelt there, life held but two paths: they might rise among the wise and walk clad with hoods of myriad colors, or they must leave the city and go into the friendless world.”

• Here’s another contradiction: the wise wear myriad colors symbolizing their acceptance of all, but their law is built on exclusion, a brotherhood without.

“Now one there was who had studied long all the magic known in the city, which was most of the magic known in the world”

• The magicians study pan (all). They are comparative mythologists, occultists, Jungians, etc. (This, ironically, is Wolfe). Pan in Greek mythology is a cloven foot and horned god that plays the “pan flute”, and is associated with nature and sex. He is often accompanied by nymphs.

“And he grew near the time at which he must choose a path. In high summer, when flowers with yellow and careless heads thrust even from the dark walls overlooking the sea.”

• High summer is a reference to the “dog days” of summer. In ancient Greece, this was the hottest and most uncomfortable part of summer. It’s called the “dog days” because it coincides with the heliacal rising of Sirius in the constellation Canis Major. Furthermore, the Greeks believed the luminous Sirius (from seiros: scorching) caused the extra hot days. I mention this because it relates to the alzabo which in the Lexicon Urthus is from the archaic Arabic “al-dhi’b” which refers to a wolf, a jackal, or a star in Canis Major.

“How may I - even I who know nothing - have a place among the wise of the city? For I wish to study spells that are not sacred all my days, and not go into the friendless world to dig and carry for bread”

• Another paradoxical and ironic statement: he’s been studying all his life, but knows nothing. A Socratic kind of wisdom but also represents spiraling madness. Critically, he wants to study non-sacred spells; he turns away from the divine.

“ Do you recall how, when you were hardly more than a boy, I taught you the art by which we flesh sons from dream stuff? How skillful you were in these days, surpassing all the others! Go now, and flesh such a son, and I will show it to the hooded ones, and you will be as we.”

• Groomer! And if Wolfe is trying to evoke ancient Greece with this story, it’s well-founded that older Athenian men would often indulge their passion for youth. This would explain the use of the carnal word “flesh” to describe the creative process. Sex magic is a common occult practice and is certainly non-sacred. The passing of seasons represents the cyclical nature of trauma and abuse.
• Wolfe uses very unsettling language: “And the old man who had taught him thought of the beauty of the trees that had for so many years delighted his eyes like the white limbs of women.”

“Winter came stalking into the land from his frozen capital, where the sun rolls along the edge of the world like a trumpery gilded ball and the fires that flow between the stars and Urth kindle the sky. His touch turned the waves to steel, and the city of the magicians welcomed him, hanging banners of ice from its balconies and heaping its roofs with glaces of snow.”

• Perhaps a reference to Saturnalia but does not follow the ancient Greece theme. Saturnalia occurred near the winter solstice because the sun enters Capricorn, the astrological house of Saturn, at that time. Capricorn fits in with the Pan imagery as it too is a goat-like being.
• Saturn represents the cyclical course of time and season (Greek equivalent Chronos). Saturn would regularly devour his own children; this fits into the aforementioned cycle of trauma.
• Saturn is often represented with a sickle: a symbol of mankind’s partial control over the natural world.

“In spring, the most beautiful maidens of the city, the daughters of the magicians, were clothed in green; and while the soft winds of spring teased their golden hair, they walked unshod through the portal of the city, and down the narrow path that led to the quay, and boarded the black-sailed ship that waited them. And because of their golden hair, and their gowns of green faille, and because it seemed to the magicians that they were reaped like grain, they were called Corn Maidens.”

• Here the sickle imagery is introduced directly. The Corn Maidens are human sacrifices, but are compared to grain and corn; sent into the “unpastured sea.”

“Looking from his window saw the maidens filing by, he set aside all his books and began to draw such figures as no man had ever seen, and to write in many languages, as his master had taught him aforetime.”

• Is this not what Wolfe does in his writing? He constantly appropriates ancient words from forgotten languages to do his “magic.”

“ At first it seemed to him that all the skill his master had taught him of old had deserted him, for from the first light to the moonlight he was alone in his chambers save for the moth that fluttered sometimes to show the insignia of Death at his undaunted candle flame.

• More meta stuff: writer's block
• A moth showing the insignia of death is an interesting comparison. This moth could be interpreted as the final stage of metamorphosis before death. It could also refer to the Bombyx Mori, the silk moth. Mori in this sense means mulberry, but mori can also mean death (as in memento mori). The silkworm has a similar symbology to the scythe in that it represents man’s control of nature. This is the domesticated version of the silkworm that relies completely on humans for its survival and is genetically modified to promote silk production. This reflects the city’s practice of human farming and sacrifice.

“Then there crept into his dreams another; and he, knowing who that other was, welcomed him, though the dreams were fleeting and soon forgotten.”

• The Irony here is that although he works tirelessly practicing his magic, he only summons the being when he is not working, asleep and unconscious. He welcomes this being into his mind. “He heard the step, always in another room” He’s unable to pinpoint this being’s being; he can only pinpoint its secondary effects. As he continues his magic, the aftereffects become increasingly pronounced until finally the illusory becomes real. Milton describes hell as “darkness visible.” I think Wolfe is going for a similar effect here.

“Then the student dared turn himself where he sat, and he saw standing before him a youth haughty of port, wide of shoulder, and mighty of thew. Command was in his firm mouth, knowing wit in his bright eyes, and courage in all his face. Upon his brow sat that crown that is invisible to every eye, but can be seen even by the blind; the crown beyond price that draws brave men to a paladin, and makes weak men brave.

• The student’s creation terrifies him, but he doesn’t want to show his fear.
• “Haughty of port” meaning prideful with an air of superiority. Going back to Milton: “round he (Satan) throws his baleful eyes, that witnessed huge affliction and dismay, mixed with obdurate pride and steadfast hate.” Classic Luciferian pride.
• Contrary to popular depictions of Satan, he is one of God’s highest creations: “Whoever he is, the “Devil” is among the very first and best creatures of God. He is, so to speak, perfect enough, wise enough, powerful enough, one can almost say divine enough, to know God and not to surrender to him - to know him and yet opt against him, to desire freedom from him. But since this freedom is impossible in the love and light which always lead to God and to a free surrender to him, it must of necessity be fulfilled in negation, hatred, and rebellion.” (Alexander Schmemann). Satan is God’s highest creation but he is the most base, he is wise yet chooses irrationality, in Wolfe’s description he wears the invisible crown that all see. Satan is an ironic, paradoxical, and tragic figure.
• Milton also describes Satan as a commander

“Often I have seen, like a green serpent called by the notes of a pipe, a column of green slip down the cliff below our city to the quay.”

• Again Wolfe uses Miltonian imagery: “Thus they Breathing united force with fixed thought moved on in silence to soft pipes that charmed Their painful steps O’er the burnt soil.” Both descriptions suggest a snake charmer playing his pipes.
• This connects Satan and Pan: pan pipes as well as ostensible concern for his nymphs

“At this the young man’s eye flashed, and he demanded: ‘Who is this ogre, and what form has he, and where does he dwell?’”

• The ogre is the beast and the minotaur that lives in the west. The West is another symbol of death and the unconscious.

“His name no man knows, for no man can approach near enough…His harbor is an isle to the west, where a channel with many a twist and bend, dividing and redividing, reaches far inland. It is on the isle, so my lore teaches me, that the Corn Maidens are made to dwell; and there he rides at anchor in the midst of them, turning his eye ever to left and right to watch them in their despair.”

• Does no man know its name because no one has discovered it or because it doesn’t exist? Or are both the same?
• Eye of Sauron reference. Masonic all-seeing eye which masons say represents the omnipresence and omniscience of God, but, in reality, represents an all-powerful control system that constrains mankind. When Severian first goes against his guild he says of his fellow torturers: “ I saw them as powerful, the active principle of an inimical and nearly perfect machine.” Severian first realizes that Nessus is a vast control mechanism; the torturers are a gear in the infernal machine.
  
• The beast lies in the labyrinth. The twisting and bending channels describe a labyrinthine structure without directly calling it a labyrinth. When Domnina first observes Father Inire’s mirrors: “She ran to the curtains hoping to find another door behind them, but as soon as she pulled one aside, one of the eight walls painted with labyrinths opened and Father Inire stepped out. Behind him she saw what she called a bottomless hole filled with light.” Wolfe is trying to show that the beast, the control mechanism, is tied to these mirrors.
  
• The young man fleshed from dreams relates to the fish fleshed from reflected light in Father Inire’s mirrors. They are both paradoxical creations; how can one create reality from the virtual (dream stuff and mere reflections)? The fish is clearly a reference to Christ and the ichthys; Domnina even references Pascha. But this Christ is a virtual Christ, an antichrist. In Revelation, the Antichrist is depicted as the ape of Christ, but ultimately the Antichrist is a mere illusionist: “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” (Thessalonians 2:11).
  

“For I am Noctua, the daughter of Night, and the daughter too of him whom you have come to slay…For though he did not know why, being of the stuff of dreams he was drawn to her; and she, who eyes held starlight, to him…At this the princess took pity on him, for all who have the stuff of dreams about them seem fair in some degree at least to the daughters of the night, and he fairest of all.

• Noctua means owl from Latin nox meaning night (and she is quite literally from her mother Nox). Nox is an important aspect of Thelema or the occult practices of Aleister Crowley. Nox is the formula of the night of pan, the “crossing of the abyss” and the union with “our lady of abominations” Babalon (from Revelations the whore of Babylon). In Nox, the adept experiences unification with the All through ecstatic destruction of the ego-self, dissolving duality into one or, in other words, nonsense. Ego death is a core element of mind control (MK Ultra and Project Monarch** remember the silkworm symbol).
• It’s clear from this passage and later passages that many others have been sent on this mission in the past. However, Noctua feels a particular affection for this commander.

“At length Night came, and they saw her striding from islet to islet with her bats about her shoulders and her dire wolves dogging her steps. No more than an easy carronade shot from their anchorage she seemed, yet they all observed that she passed not before Hesperus or even Sirius; but they before her. For a moment only she turned her face toward them, and none could be certain what her look conveyed. But all of them wondered if indeed the ogre had taken her without her will as her daughter had said; and if so, if she had not lost the resentment she might be imagined to have felt.”

• Hesperus represents Venus the morning star in Latin Lucifer or light bringer. As Russell puts it, the evening star is the morning star; it represents the drama of a hero striving for the highest seat of heaven but being cast out of heaven (matches the movement of Venus in the sky). Another connection to Sirius.
• Another suggestion that perhaps this quest is not as it seems.

“In ancient times, so it is said, a tattered child, the daughter of a fisherman, found on the sand a stoppered flask, and by breaking the seal and drawing forth the cork became queen from ice to ice. Just so it seemed, an elemental being, strong with the strength of the forging of creation, debouched from the tall smokestacks of their ship, tumbling over himself in dark joy and growing with a rush, as the wind comes.”

• This could be a Pandora’s box reference, critically Pandora. Another dualistic notion, that what saves the day also causes doom. Or perhaps Odysseus’ bag of winds; the aid turns into the curse. Fits into the overall narrative of the story that Severian is both a torturer and a hero. He is “severed” and “severs” into two. Dorcas: “All of you are torturers, one way or another.”

“Then he strode to the rail and looked down; but with such an expression that no one, not even the most brave, dared to look at him. When he lifted his eyes at last, his face was set and grim and with no word to any man he took himself to his cabin and barred the door.”

• Obviously despondent. Either about the evil he released into the world or that his great battle was with a phantasm or that the whole quest was a lie.

“But on the morning of the third day, the young man fleshed from dreams came out of his cabin and began to walk up and down the deck as he was wont to do”

• Allusion to the resurrection of Jesus on the third day. His cabin serves as his “tomb.”

“At this he looked up into the very vault of the firmament. And some thought he prayed, and some that he sought to restrain the anger he felt against them, and some only that he hoped to gain inspiration there. But so long did he stare that they waxed afraid, even as they had when he had peered into the water, and one or two began to creep away. Then he said to them: “Behold! Do you not see the sea birds? From every corner of the sky they stream. Follow them.”

• He’s come back from the dead but is filled with anger.

“None of them ever forgot that night”

• Nothing like an orgy after a long day of work.

“Certain of the Corn Maidens wed those princes who, having spent years so long enchanted that they are loath to leave that life (and have in that time learned much of gramary), build palaces on lily pads and are seldom seen by men.”

• They go out to become demonic forces in the world. Lily pads are a call back to Chapter 2 of shadow: “When I think of my own death, or of the death of someone who has been kind to me, or even of the death of the sun, the image that comes to my mind is that of the nenuphar, with its glossy, pale leaves and azure flower.” The nenuphar exists above and below the water; they exist in two worlds just as their journey took them from the east to the west.

“And when he beheld their dark sails, smutted by the burning tar that had blinded their enemy, he believed them blackened in mourning for the young man, and he threw himself down, and so perished. For no man lives long when his dreams are dead.”

• Absurd ending to the story. You can't help but laugh at the ending. Jonas even suggests that the end of the story has been edited.
• IMO, he kills himself because the “hero’s” journey was never meant to be a success. The hooded ones need the ogre to have the utopia.

For starters, this should be applicable to anyone who has the misfortune of owning anything by NordicTrack that has the ifit app installed. Ultimately, these are all powered by slightly different variants of the same android control board. So similar even, that if you crack open any of them, the boards have the same shape, mount points and locations of all the primary components and connectors. They all have the same design flaw.
All that being said, I've fixed a bike and two treadmill boards so far by re-flowing them. The problem wasn't the screen. It wasn't an issue of the board not getting power, etc. The issue was cold solder joints.
One of them had to be reflowed twice, but...again, I've got a pretty good track record going, and am now convinced that these are just cheaply made "not even half as good as an Amazon Fire" tablets with cold solder joints. If you don't know what a cold solder joint is, it's simply areas on the board where the board was not heated enough during production, resulting in poor joints that crack and fail overtime. It would be kind of like if all the important nerves in your nervous system just started breaking. You'd stop working too. Fortunately, there's usually ways to fix this on circuit boards.
If you have a multi-meter, you can poke the 12v power header into the tablet to confirm that it's getting 11 to 13v power. If it is (and assuming it's also getting 2 amps then), you're probably looking at cold solder joints. If you don't have a multi-meter, but you're mechanically inclined, you can pick one up for under $10 USD. Takes about 10 minutes to learn how to use on on Youtube. If you want to test if it's a screen issue....well, short of visible, physical damage, screens *and* the touch overlays don't just die at the same time. So even if the screen was totally failed, the touch overlay should still let you poke around if you know exactly where to click to make *something* happen. (You could also hook the screen up to a laptop if you have a large format screen with a 30 pin connector, but that seems overkill when, overwhelmingly, it's likely cold solder joints on the PCB in the tablet)
Also, it's worth nothing that cold solder joints don't always result in being dead in the water right away. While I would try *everything* else from a software perspective first to fix instability issues, constant crashing and reboots, completely frozen screens, inability to fully boot, or error messages preventing boot can all be related to this, too. For my own treadmill, it started with freezing after a couple workouts, and quickly (over a day) progressed to a boot loop where it never would fully load. For kicks, I let it torture itself and when I came back the next day, it was completely dead.
Anyway, fixing this is pretty much the same as what everyone used to do to XBOX 360's that had the red ring of death...cook the PCB until the solider melts again, but also try not to cook it so far that the components on the board literally burn and become unusable again.
Also, it's worth noting that if you're lucky enough to still be under warranty, you should pursue that first. And don't discredit looking at what credit card you bought your machine with, if you're the original owner. Some credit cards double warranties, so that 2 year warranty on the tablet could very well be turned into a four year warranty by your credit card company. This is actually a surprisingly common, but not well known, benefit of major cards.
To get started, unplug the unit from the wall. The last thing you need is to end up electrocuting yourself or blowing something out on your machine because power was still being applied to it.
Ok, so onto the actual repair.....to do this, you'll need to unplug the four cables going into the back of the tablet. On some machines, like my 9.5s, you might have to take a back cover off the whole unit to actually reach the back of the tablet, and its connectors. Once that's taken care of, you'll need to take out the (likely) 3 screws on each side that hold the tablet mount into the upper assembly that the tablet itself is mounted in. From here, the tablet should be freely removable from the unit.
Now you need to undo the screws in the back of the tablet to separate it from the touchscreen front. Warning: There are delicate ribbon cables going from the screen in front, to the board in the tablet. Damage one of them, and you may as well just buy a new tablet for the few hundred bucks NordicTrack will shake you down for.
Once you've exposed the board, you should be able to pull out the wire connectors and flip the pressure fit levers on the ribbon cable connectors for the tablet to remove the camera and touchscreen ribbon cables. Note that the wifi antenna is also relatively delicate, and should be pulled as upward as possible. You also need to be careful when reinstalling it, or you can crush the connector, and then....either you're good at incredibly small soldering by hand, or again, you're buying a new tablet with half the power and build quality of the cheapest Amazon Fire at quadruple the price.
Next, remove the screws securing the board to the inside of the tablet, and you should be able to freely remove it with ease. Now comes the Really delicate part.

THE ACTUAL FIX ITSELF

Ideally, you would be doing this in a precision controlled re-flow oven with a profile that walks the board through exact temperature changes....but you can get 90% of the way there, and have pretty excellent chances of fixing your board, nontheless. You just need an oven and a thermometer you can read from inside the oven.
Before prepping the board to go in the oven, remove the large metal RF shield covering the back of the board. Not the one that's postage stamps sized, but the one that's about the much larger one, about the size of two human thumbs. You can discard this - it's an RF shield and honestly it does nothing but trap heat that really shouldn't be trapped, in my opinion.
Using the "toaster oven method" to reflow a PCB, you will want to make a few loose (not very compacted) foil balls. Set them on a plate in a way where you can press the board into them, connectors side facing up. You should have the board be as level as possible - re-flowing a board at an angle can make the chips fall out of alignment, and then you pretty much have a dead, now-un-repairable board.
Once the board is level, put a thermometer you can read on the plate with the board and pop it in the oven. Set the oven to bake at 230C (About 445F) and once the oven has actually reached this temperature, count off two minutes. That is how long you want to let the board bake before you remove it. You don't have to be exact with this, but don't leave it in for only a minute and don't forget about it and come back after it's been cooking for 5 or 10 minutes. Try to be within a few seconds of that 2 minute mark. And the temperature gauge on the plate is so you can know that it really is within a few degrees of 230F. The temp gauge on stoves often lies, and if the board is below 220 it won't really re-flow, and above 240 you run the risk of cooking it to death.
Anyway, the final, and arguably most delicate part, is removing the board. You want to be as gentle as possible. No bumps, no jerky motions, and setting it down with great care once it's out of the oven. Also, set it down *away* from the oven so that the board can cool off faster. Don't put it in the fridge or anything, but let it sit undisturbed for about 15 minutes before trying to do anything with it. After that amount of time, it should be cool enough to touch. Once all of this is done, screw the board back into the tablet shell, but ONLY put the screws in along the two sides that have connectors coming out of them. This means you should have three of the four corners screwed down, and one or two additional screws along those two sides. Leave the fourth corner undone since it gives the board some wiggle room without constant straining & flexing. (The best option would be making silicone bushings to mount the tablet board to, much like portable had drives have, but that's just me trying to get as much life out of my tablet & treadmill as I can).
Now, reattach all the connectors. My preferred order for ease is: Camera cable, microphone cable, touch screen cable, wifi antenna, display cable (the largest flat ribbon cable in there). Then close up the two halves of the tablet, pop a couple screws in the corners, and reattach the four external cables to the tablet. Don't bother screwing it all back in yet because we're just testing to make sure it works at this point. You should be able to lay the tablet down, plug the machine in, and have the tablet power up. It should respond to touch and work just like it used to. If it works again, congrats! Now unplug it once more and finish reinstalling the tablet, plastic pieces, and screws.
If it didn't work, there's no harm in trying to reflow the board again. In fact, if the issue happens again later on, you can just try reflowing the board once more. That said, there's only so many times you can re-melt the solder holding everything together before the board will just plain out be toast. Usually it's somewhere around 3 or 4 times, but you could be unlucky and have 0 or 1, or be incredibly lucky and get away with it a dozen times over many more years of life from your machine, if you even need to.
All that being said, if anyone needs help with this, just reply here. I'm not on Reddit often anymore, but I'll try to get back to you within a week, and I'm much more responsive once we've started on a conversation.
Again, to date, I've fixed three NordicTrack devices doing this, and many MANY other PCBs in similar fashion. What's alarming to me here is that the units I've fixed all have usage times of under 100 hours for the machines. Honestly, I'm amazed this hasn't come up yet and that NordicTrack hasn't been litigated into free replacements like Apple and Microsoft have from similar mass failures out of warranty due to poor build quality. (Xbox 360, iPhone battery & back glass issues, etc...) I'm even more amazed that they'll sell the tablet for most models, but *not* the PCB....though, I guess that just goes to show that whatever lowest-bidder factory cranked these out for them, NordicTrack as a company has never even seen component level parts like that - just finished tablets, so it's not even something they *can* offer their ~~hostages~~ customers.
OH! And final word of advice! Put your units on a smart outlet that turns off after whatever the max time you use your equipment would be! Not only will it prolong the equipment life, but it actually makes it easier to use! For example, instead of waiting for the treadmill to wake up, I just say "Alexa, turn on the treadmill" and by the time I'm at it, it's happily waiting for me to click my name and go. And then if I forget to turn it off, the smart plug is programmed to shut it down after 2 hours anyway, so it won't be sitting there idly chewing away at the new life ~~breathed~~ baked into it.
If you want to make sure the temp if your oven is hot enough, but not going to fry something, try taking an old remote that you know works but that you don't care about. Disassemble it, reflow it, and make sure it still works when you put it all back together again. Now do it again and see if, once it reached temp in the oven, you can scrape parts off the board with relative ease. This will destroy the remote, but it's a good way to get comfortable with baking boards.
Anyway, that's about all. I wish I'd though to record videos of this process, but I hope this guide is enough to get most people back in business. And if you've already been through swapping the whole tablet and have a dead one you'd like to donate to seeing if my theory continues to hold true, I'd be happy to pay shipping to get it from you, or have you pay shipping if you want me to just take a crack at fixing it and sending it back to you.
If you're already skilled in these areas, it should take about 20 minutes to do, excluding actual bake and cooling time. If you're totally new at this but you can follow instructions with care and precision, you can probably have it done in under 2 hours. And hey - short of burning or electrocuting yourself (again, unplug before working on the equipment!) ....if you already have a dead board, the only thing you really have to lose by trying this is some of your time. =)

Im playing on a small farm on the Erlengrat map right now, with alp-style buildings and mostly small equipment. Due to the latest DLC (Farm productions) i'd like to supply the new Market stands with vegetables, milk, cheese, bread, honey etc. Sadly i recently discovered that there is no bakery on erlengrat so i cant' make any bread. The bakeries you can build ingame are all rather large buildings and mostly american, so they would look very out of place on my farm.
The only buildings i found in Modhub are OmaTanas farm production buildings, they add not only bakery functions but come with tons of other features that i feel are kind of overpowered, in addition to cluttering the production tab in my menu.
Was wondering if y'all happen to know a mod that has - a small bakery that can be built on-farm - that produces vanilla bread, no custom product - has no OP amount of production chains - bonus: fits with the typical Alps style of buildings on Erlengrat (white walls on ground level, wood paneling above, or any other central european styling)

Hi all, I have been lurking on this subreddit for a while and thought I would leave my views on an LLC service I have been using for the last few years; Northwest Registered Agent.
I think maybe this one goes under the radar a little compared to some of the other names with bigger marketing budgets. Maybe I am wrong.
Anyway, let's start with who they are.
Headquartered in Spokane, Washington, Northwest Registered Agent is primarily an LLC formation service. With operational offices throughout all 50 states they have quite the presence. They have been around for over 20 years and have a well-established reputation within the industry.
Actually, I'll jump to something I saw on the website: The Northwest Registered Agent Guarantee.
Basically, Northwest offers a 100% Error-Free Guarantee:
“We form hundreds of LLCs every day, and each filing is backed by our 100% error-free guarantee. Although extremely rare, in the 20 years we’ve been in business, we’ve learned that mistakes do happen. Should an error occur, we’ll file every amendment required to make sure your company information is accurate (at no cost to you).”
I've not had to call upon this, but it is reassuring to know that I can if anything goes wrong.
Okay, let's run through exactly what the service offers:

Services provided by Northwest Registered Agent

Furthermore, Northwest assists in setting up merchant accounts for credit card processing, with pricing dependent on transaction volume.

Pros and Cons of Northwest Registered Agent

I don't want to turn this into a mega review, I started this post actually want to highlight the fact Northwest have been pretty damn good for my LLC needs.
Here's the some of the pros and cons all the same...
Pros of Northwest Registered Agent:

• Private Address: Northwest Registered Agent offers the advantage of keeping your address off public records, a feature exclusive to their service.

Cons of Northwest Registered Agent:

• Pricing: While Northwest Registered Agent may not be the most budget-friendly option, quality service understandably comes at a slightly higher cost. Having said that, there is a low priced option without frills if you still want to use them.

It's worth noting that in comparisons with other LLC filing companies, Northwest Registered Agent consistently performs well, with no significant bad reviews that I have managed to find.

Overall Thoughts

Overall, strong customer service and expertise in the industry is probably the main reason to choose Northwest Registered Agent.
They also prioritize client privacy by keeping addresses off public records and refraining from selling data to third parties.

Setting Up Your Email Subject on Android

In the ever-evolving world of mobile communications, email remains a steadfast tool for personal and professional exchanges. Android users, in particular, benefit from a versatile operating system that allows for a high degree of customization, including the ability to set default actions and preferences for their email applications. Whether you're a business professional looking to streamline your communication processes or an individual aiming to organize your inbox more efficiently, understanding how to configure your email client on Android can significantly enhance your emailing experience.
This guide will delve into the specifics of setting the subject line in your preferred email client on Android devices. By adjusting this setting, you can save time and increase productivity by predefining subject lines for various types of emails. This not only aids in maintaining consistency across your communications but also helps in managing your emails more effectively. The process involves a few simple steps that can be easily implemented by users of any technical skill level, ensuring that everyone can optimize their email usage on Android.

Command	Description
Intent	Used to start email activities within Android applications.
putExtra	Adds extended data to the intent for email subject, body, etc.
setType	Sets the MIME type for the email intent.
startActivity	Launches an email client installed on the Android device.

Understanding Email Configuration on Android

Setting the subject in the default email client on Android devices is more than just a matter of convenience; it's about making the most out of the email communication process. With the sheer volume of emails sent and received daily, having a pre-set subject line can significantly streamline your email management. This feature is particularly beneficial for business users who frequently send emails with similar subjects, such as weekly reports, updates to team members, or notifications to clients. By pre-defining these subjects, users can reduce the time spent on composing emails, ensuring consistency and reducing the likelihood of sending emails without a subject. Furthermore, this customization reflects the flexibility of Android's operating system, which allows users to tailor their devices to their specific needs and preferences, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency.
However, configuring the default email client on Android to include a predefined subject requires understanding the capabilities of your email application and possibly leveraging intent filters in Android app development. Intent filters are used to specify the type of intents an application can respond to. For instance, when you compose an email through an app, an intent is created with action SEND or SENDTO, and you can include extra data such as the email's subject, body, and recipients. Developers can use this to build apps or features within apps that automate filling in certain parts of an email. This functionality not only serves to improve user experience by saving time but also opens up possibilities for app developers to create more personalized and efficient communication tools on the Android platform.

Email Subject Configuration Example

Android Development Code

Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822"); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"recipient@example.com"}); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject Text"); emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body of the email"); try { startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail...")); } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) { Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this, "There are no email clients installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } 

Enhancing Email Efficiency on Android

Email has become an indispensable part of our daily communications, especially in the professional world where promptness and efficiency are key. On Android, setting the default email client to include specific subjects for emails can significantly enhance this efficiency. This functionality is not just a mere convenience but a strategic tool for managing communications more effectively. For example, individuals can set up their devices to automatically include subjects for routine emails, such as daily reports or meeting reminders. This not only saves time but also helps in organizing emails better, making it easier to search for and categorize messages.
Moreover, this feature is a boon for app developers and marketers who regularly engage with users via email. By pre-setting subjects, they can ensure their messages are consistent and recognizable, increasing the likelihood of their emails being opened and read. Additionally, this capability underscores the customizable nature of the Android platform, allowing users to tailor their devices to fit their personal and professional needs. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, such features will play a crucial role in enhancing communication workflows, thereby improving productivity and user satisfaction.

Streamlining Communication with Android

Configuring the default subject line in Android's email clients represents a significant step towards streamlining communication and enhancing productivity. This customization option not only simplifies the process of sending emails but also aids in better organization and quicker retrieval of messages. For businesses and individuals alike, the ability to pre-set subjects for emails means less time spent on repetitive tasks and more time focusing on content. Moreover, this feature underlines the adaptable and user-friendly nature of Android devices, allowing users to tailor their email experiences to their specific needs. As we move forward in an increasingly digital world, such functionalities become crucial in managing our digital communications effectively. Ultimately, setting a default subject line is a small but powerful tool in the arsenal of Android users, offering a blend of convenience, efficiency, and customization that can significantly improve the email management process.

So this is a dumb question, and maybe in the wrong place, I know, but I don't want to get into any trouble about it. I love playing card games. I'm also an artist and like making designs.
I liked a couple of card types from a card game I'm very fond of. A very famous card game. Rules say I can't name them, so I won't.
So I went through the effort of designing these cards I like from one style into another style of the same game, same company, specifically so I could add them to my card deck and play with them. I was VERY accurate and meticulous with making them accurate so they would fit perfectly into the existing cards.
Now the problem. How do I print them nice enough to fit in the deck as well?Upon some research, the legality of printing custom cards associated with brands can be tricky and not so legal at all. And since these are as identical as I could make them to the real thing, I feel like that's a problem.
I don't want them poorly made on basic paper at home, I want them to be sturdy and last, but I also don't want to be fined. I'd like to know the legality of it, what the best way to do it may be, or if I can do it at all. These will never be sold, only for personal use.
I don't want to be in trouble for some cards. And this is a very famous card game from a big company. Would they hit me with fines? I'm just worried, is all.
I apologize if this is not the place to ask this, I just didn't know if a card game subreddit could help properly with brand related legal things.

An electric mobility chair is also popular by the name of a power wheelchair. It is a mechanized versatility help intended for people with restricted versatility. It is controlled by a joystick or other interfaces and is powered by batteries. These chairs offer independence and convenience by allowing users to maneuver without physical effort.

2. Look at the controls for convenience, particularly if you have restricted adroitness or hand strength.

Battery Duration and Reach:

1. Evaluate the battery life per charge and the distance the chair can cover on a full charge.
2. Choose a chair with a battery range that suits your typical daily activities to avoid frequent recharging.

Portability and Transport:

1. Assuming that you intend to move the seat regularly, consider its weight and whether it tends to be dismantled or collapsed for simpler vehicles.

Terrain and Environment:

1. A survey is helpful for where you’ll utilize the electric mobility chair — inside, outside, or both.
2. Pick a seat with suitable haggles for the landscape you experience consistently (e.g., tough outside surfaces).

Safety Features:

1. Look for features like anti-tip wheels, seat belts, and reliable braking systems for added safety.

Customization and Accessories:

1. Check if the seat considers customization like flexible armrests or seating positions to suit your inclinations.
2. For convenience, look into the available accessories like baskets, cup holders, or additional cushions.

Service and Support:

1. Research the producer’s standing for client care and the accessibility of fixed administrations in your space.

Spending Plan and Protection/Insurance Inclusion:

1. Decide your spending plan and investigate whether protection or medical services suppliers can take care of part of the expense.
2. Consider the drawn-out expenses of upkeep and fixes while settling on your choice.

Client Audits and Proposals:
To learn about real-world experiences with various models for electric mobility chairs, read user reviews, and ask healthcare professionals or other users for recommendations.
Taking everything into account, choosing the right electric mobility chair requires cautious thought of solace, mobility, battery duration, well-being highlights, customization choices, and backing administrations. By considering these standards in contrast to your particular requirements and inclinations, you can pick a seat that improves portability and offers dependable help for your everyday exercises.

Selecting the right equipment supplier is not just about filling your space but about ensuring quality, reliability, and value for your investment. It’s a common challenge we all face, especially when trying to balance the needs of our clients with the realities of our budgets.
In my journey, I've found that it’s crucial to consider not only the cost but also the supplier's reputation for durability and customer service. I've dealt with several key players like Yanre Fitness, Precor, and Life Fitness over the years. Each has its strengths; for instance, Yanre Fitness offers competitive pricing without compromising on the robustness needed for high-traffic areas, making them a go-to for many budget-conscious setups. Precor excels in innovative designs that appeal to modern fitness enthusiasts, while Life Fitness has been impeccable when it comes to after-sales support and warranty offers.
What are your top priorities when vetting suppliers? Do you look for cutting-edge technology, customer reviews, warranty policies, or perhaps a combination of these factors? Have you had any particularly good or bad experiences with specific brands or suppliers?
