Didn't even know voltages here could cross 320 (fluctuations for the last three hours):

A lot of history with the laptop and printer.

Laptop: friend gave it to me. Had dead hdd. So, using it with a new 128gb ssd. I have repaired the hinge many times with epoxy. But they don’t last. Loosened the hinge and called it a day. Beyond vertical inclination, the screen is free to drop.

Printer: h-2321d. got it used for 3k. Duplex tray gear was worn out. Replaced the gear but still not working. But works fine otherwise. Opened up the printer so many times I lost count. Replaced the fuser roller. I broke the temperature sensor/thermistor wire while cleaning it. And had to splice hair width wire.
This printer has service manual pdf. So, if there is any fault it’s easy to point out the problems. Very easy to refill powder. No extra hardware needed to reset drum error message.
Many jumper wires on many of the ribbon cables. They are so flimsy.
Toner powder: prodot powder is giving me best prints.

I live on the second floor and my 12" subwoofer rattles the room so much, the vibrations can be felt on the ground floor as well as the third floor and are very annoying to the rest of the family.
I did some research on the net and found out that I need to isolate the sub from the floor using quite expensive pads like these :

And 8K was the cheapest I could find. Luckily for me, we had a similar situation with our washing machine a few months ago, and we bought these to block the vibrations:

So, of course, I did what any sane person would do and bought the same thing for my subwoofer, and they work exactly as intended and what I wanted. I doubt there is any significant difference between the two products, they both have rubber soles to absorb vibrations. One is priced super high only because they are aimed at audiophiles.

My subwoofer is working nicely and the rattling in other rooms has dropped considerably. Rs 199 jugaad beats audiophile vanity.
