[rant] I want computers to become personal again

I hear what you are saying, but I'm not sure why you aren't doing what you want to do.

If you have a computer not provided by work, why do you have Slack or Teams?

Use ad blockers and/or Pi-Hole to avoid pesky ads.

Watch live TV.

Write a letter.

Stay away or use sparingly, data hungry services.

I know I feel better for it and I don't feel as if I'm missing much.

My treadmill is suddenly feeling weird [SOLVED]

I don't own a treadmill but I have worked with belt conveyors!

My first guess would be belt tension.

It looks as if there are YouTube videos which show how to tension treadmills.

My only real advice is to make sure you pull the roller back evenly, otherwise you may get tracking issues (the belt wanders left or right).

Why can't any shop/dealership I've been to do an alignment right?

Reply in thread

Probably because it is quicker to align one wheel to the other, rather than align two wheels to a centred steering wheel.

I never really thought about it before, but I used to have a car where the steering wheel was about 10 degrees off after having the wheels aligned. I assume they used the nearside wheel as the datum and aligned the offside wheel. Unfortunately the nearside wheel was getting a beating when I was curbing it.
