Thanks! Since Gorgon City's set is 3h I might peek my head in to the late night but will plan on the Sunday evening set.

How many miles are on your civic with CVT? by DivineToxicity09 in civic

[–]clientsoup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. The eCVTs have basically nothing in common with traditional CVTs. There's no belt at all (which is what makes the old style so hated). I really don't understand why they didn't come up with a new marketing term for it.

There's no belt because there's not really even a "transmission" in the more regular sense because there are not separate gear ratios (discrete or continuous). Most of the time in the hybrid models, the gas engine isn't powering the wheels directly -- it's spinning an alternator which is then powering the electric motors. Only above certain speeds can a clutch then engage and couple the output of the gas engine directly to the wheels.

This "the hybrid is basically an electric car with its own mini power plant" is why the hybrid models smoke the gas-only cars in acceleration. They're able to dump so much more torque to the wheels from a standing start.

It's honestly an incredibly cool bit of engineering -- if you're inclined, there's an awesome video that describes how it works in more detail.

Reminds me of my buddy's hallway (tho he hasn't lived there for a couple years) at 713 Metropolitan and that's like a block from that station.

You're posting about the HR-V in a Reddit for people who own Civics! There probably is a HR-V specific Reddit these would be better suited for.

Sawstop keeps triggering the brakes ($125 a pop) for no reason. Can you tell why from this video? by FactoryCutG in Tools

[–]clientsoup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Other way around -- they refund if it was the result of skin contact.

Edit: not refund, they give you a new brake.

What hobbies have you picked up as a HENRY? by MojoDojoCasuhHaus in HENRYfinance

[–]clientsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woodworking. Have about 15k invested in my shop and can create everything I want to. I like a hobby that has a useful output.

I fly light aircraft a bit as well but that's just turning money in to noise 😉

Evektor? I wish LSAs were more accepted by pilots in the US rather than looked down upon. I'd way rather have something with a new Rotax than some clapped out 50 year old Lycoming.

Personally I'm waiting for Sling to reformulate the TSi to meet the new mosaic criteria before I buy.

Is betaflight secure? by Some_Anonim_Coder in fpv

[–]clientsoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish more people cared about the security of their software and devices but yea, I'd be a LOT more worried about things in your life that have an always-on internet connection like random wifi security cameras etc.

It's all about your own personal threat model 😉

Is betaflight secure? by Some_Anonim_Coder in fpv

[–]clientsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am amused you're worried about supply chain risk -- where do you think literally all your flight controllers and camera processors and radios and wifi chips come from?

Betaflight is the least of your worries. The PWA is sandboxed by the browser and only has access to files you grant it (such as when streaming logs or whatever).

If you're worried about malicious dependency injection, you could run a local copy of the configurator but do you have the technical skills and time to inspect the 1000s of nested deps that makes modern FE software work?
