Maybe it isn't the memory chips that fail first, but something else

The advice relates to heads mounted inside a split spinning drum, not a stationery one like a compact cassette head, which has a smooth…

Pretty sure its just the multi-tool itself. Although it functions very well, is not likely poorly suited to the small capacity battery. I…

The end result is the continued leveraging of microcodes and underlying management features used to enable exfil and remote access in the…

Sounds like they bought a worn-out, ex-rental camper (think of an Itsabitshiti L300, or Hiace, Delica, etc.), expecting to be able to…

Old terminology is symptomatic of law makers making laws in a drive-by fashion; If only we expected them to keep our statutes maintained…

A very decent set, great if you find yourself needing to fight worn or out-of-size fasteners. Cro-Mo lasts longer than a mechanic does and…

1 year, if you leave it charged will degrade its capacity considerably. I avoid storing them on the shelf charged if I won't need them in…

Indeed, a very good point!

Sounds like my old's '94 E36 325tdi 5 speed, it made it all over europe, through every salt-ladened winter attack, gutter-hop and low speed…

Or perhaps someone got your credit card details (guessed, phished or stolen), and was able to link them to your old Kayo account, and…

Having seen several petrol cars burn, I can tell you that the numerous safety mechanisms in every modern ICE vehicle are more than up to…

Excellent tyre, I didn't like the thing but that was just because it was a highway tyre and it will never seem right to put such a thing on…

ICE, PHEV or EV, you still need to pray to the software gods:…

Only used LTXs but L-X looks to just be different in terms of pattern- looks more optimised for highway speeds- maybe better if you were…

How well does it go loaded w the kids and the dog, with the AC on, on the highway? Let alone cornering, or off the mark... Add an RB31,…

Look at your hot water system first. Heat Pump's are king, esp if you have excess solar generation during the day. Look at your insulation…

If the limit is below 90 in some states, you can stay there and hold up everyone else, for some inexplicable reason. But seriously, this is…

Anyone wants a cheapie in Northern Sydney today, one was removed from a house and its now on gumtree for $40. Same as my Ikea one from 4…

Uh, I dunno- the dissonance of Tyrell Corp's coming autonomous units is enough for me...

Glue two red model Y's together, with another one on top, and you have a Real Red Ranga. Faster too. The one on top is just for looks, of…

That's the idea. Who u gonna call?

Still can't subscribe to the new paradigm though. I still prefer my 25 year old high yield investment ;-)

EVs were always destined to become cheap. The entire ICE industry has always been propped up despite ailing tech and a near complete lack…

Can a Model Y HW3 mine crypto as fast as the new HW4 version? Or is Model 3 a better bet? Hmm. Maybe HW5 will do regenerative mining?!…

How many involved in incidents though? Even Chinese AI has to learn. Only way to do that is with miles... er, unless... And each company…

Best to break your nuts with a fixed head spanner first, then use the ratchet to back them out... Can be expensive, esp if your most…
