How To Make Your Wet / Dry Vacuum Filters Last 10x Longer.

Filterpal HD Review

If you own a workshop, have a vehicle, or have had to clean up after a large leak on your home, you have almost certainly used, if not owned a wet / dry vacuum. If you own a wet / dry vacuum that you have used to suck up particulate debris such as wood shaving, saw dust, ash, or drywal dust, then you know how fast it's pleated filter cartridge clogs up and renders the vacuum unusable.

Installing New LED Lighting In Our Workshop!

Work on our new workshop is well on its way to completion, and I have been documenting the whole process for my YouTube channel.

While this was amazing news, I quickly realized that this endeavor was going to cost me more than I thought. In the first video from the new workshop, Charles installs new energy efficient LED shop lights that were given to us from a company called American Green Lights...

Use NirCMD To Change Default Audio Device in Windows on Startup

Use NirCMD to reset your PC's default audio device on startup.

For the last seven months or so, I have been having issues with my main PC resetting its default audio device to my headset when I reboot. I am told that this issue stems from something in the Windows 10 registry being updated when I installed the drivers for a USB headset several months ago. I have been unable to track down the registry entry that is causing this issue, so I decided to write a simple bash script to set my default audio device to my surround sound speakers after my PC starts up. To do this, I used a program called NirCMD to help automate this easier. Join me after the jump for a full video tutorial on how to automate this process on your windows-based PC as well.  [node:read-more:link]
