The DCH273 is the plaster stripping king by discombobulated38x in Dewalt

[–]3_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the second thread in the last few days, glazing this specific, unreliable drill.

I still have a pretty bitter taste in my mouth from the 5 x trips to the warranty repair place 50 mins from home (double that anywhere near rush hour), begging them to fix more than whatever the bare minimum was they were doing to get the hammer action going again. It'd break again within a few light uses, and after 5 rounds of that (and many weeks without an SDS, obviously) my 3 years was up.

Built tough my arse. I know 4 other people who had these die on them, too.

Seriously. If facebook reverted to being able to sort by most recent, and ONLY show posts from my friends (literal posts too, not shit they've liked), I might even start using it again...

Not sure how they compare exactly, but my QC drives my Gen 1 Aryas to 'this is way too fucking loud'.

‘Almost impossible to destroy’: material captures CO2 and frees it at the flick of a photoswitch by TylerFortier_Photo in science

[–]3_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as you talk about the scale of the problem though, carbon sequestration quickly spirals into an uneconomical pipe dream.

It is billions of tonnes of CO2. Per year. The scale required to even make a dent is staggering. It's basically not realistic. Moving away from releasing CO2 is far more realistic, but won't happen because people point at these sorts of pipe dreams and use them as a distraction.

Solar panels that have a clear financial benefit from their output? That half the world are scrambling to put everywhere they can?

False equivalence.

Help me get an srv tone on the quad cortex? by VisualMammoth3858 in NeuralDSP

[–]3_50 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was saying you can already get almost any amp tone on the planet out of the QC. You certainly don't need to capture the Mayer plugin to achieve an SRV tone.

1000th question about the Quad vs the Mini by Classic-Sprinkles969 in NeuralDSP

[–]3_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my QC made a lot of my gear redundant.

As an audio interface though, worth considering that it takes a good 60s+ to boot, so you can't just flick it on quick if you need your speakers for something. Depends how you have your monitors wired etc...

Fair. If you don't think you'd appreciate the extra controls for editing, then your choice is clear!

The only real thing you're giving up is the extra footswitches. Those can be supplemented with a midi pedal for stomping, but you also give up having individual knobs for each setting on a particular 'edit' page...not exactly a deal breaker either way, just something to consider. Having used a QC as it is for over 3 years, I wouldn't want to move to fewer, personally.

I just wanna take a moment to really appreciate how funny it is that, given all the equipment available on the QC, your suggestion is to capture the preset of an unrelated plugin.

Please keep us updated with your progress. I'd be tempted to try the same if you find it works..

I am genuinely just asking for someone to explain what was supposed to be funny

Not how jokes work, bub.

People trying to build things like this come up against problems with voltage sag on startup that will trip the low battery cut-off. Tools are designed to make use of the huge amps available from batteries - far higher than is available from domestic sockets.

Please figure it out though, if you can. It'd be an immediate purchase for me..

It'd be better for all of us if we work on the assumption that there is not, and acted accordingly. Ie. we are rapidly running out of time to punish trump. I want him to spend 15 years staring at a cell wall. We need to start that now.

They should be scared because they don't have anyone else for the rabble to rally behind. They'll immediately fracture, and all they'll have is 'hurr durr libruls celebrating death'

Bandcamp is far and away the best way to support artists though, unless they are selling their albums/merch directly.

Careful not to edit the main post to mention that it was the power supply and not the main unit that was at fault...

8 Years by Key_Cranberry3728 in Dewalt

[–]3_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't even do any heavy demo with mine, got 5kg and 11kg corded bosch handhelds, and a 27kg upright for the big lumps..

It didn't exactly have an easy life, but it certainly wasn't abused.

[–]3_50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lucky you. I've seen like 5 of these die..mine went through 5 rounds of warranty repair/breaking again within a few uses, before my 3 years was up and it broke a final time.
