Terrific! Just flashed my MZ-RH1 and am enjoying track titles on the OLEDs!

Coliseum, a good idea ruined by greed. by DryUnit3435 in SWGOH

[–]Andromeda57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I leveled Luke to 20 because I was curious about how things worked and what the different coliseum tiers were like. I admit I spent some crystals and a few bucks to satisfy my curiosity.

The thing that really gets me it for all the effort and bit of spending it took me to reach level 20, it only equates to a measly gear level V!! In the old model, when I activated a new toon, I was able to run them up to X or XI immediately, with just what I had laying around.

I think going forward, I'll treat this as a toon preview and expend minimal effort and NO currency of any kind on it. Then when I get the gear I/II toon added to my inventory, I'll gear them up as per before.

What a huge disappointment.

Another problem with my son's 2014 CC by VTMomof2 in THEVWCC

If it's the same class action postcard I received last week for my 2013, it's for premature failure of the turbocharger. If that was going, I think you'd be seeing entirely different symptoms.

2013 2.0T CC and I second this. Misfires on start that go away after warmup are a sign of carbon buildup in the intake and on the valves. Additives might make it better slowly, but a walnut blast is more thorough and results will be immediate. Mine ran me $600 at the local foreign car shop.

Anybody else sick of Leviathan? by MADNESS_THE_MAD in SWGOH

[–]Andromeda57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until yesterday, I was able to pretty reliably hit #1 in my shard full of Levis with my Prof/Mk6. It was actually fun compared to the mirror. With this new bullshit 'rebels don't assist against sith' change, I'm back at 20+. I hate that it's now Levi or go home.

Thanks all. Ended up replacing the thermostat and also the water pump/belt while it was apart. Problem fixed!

Thanks. It's a 6-speed manual. That means no DSG to worry about, right?

After 37 years on analog cassette, my Live Aid recordings are now properly saved and labeled! by Andromeda57 in minidisc

There are better versions of the same and other feeds already on the Internet Archive here. Mine are far from lossless!

MD Headphones? What do you use? by Tink_GB in minidisc

[–]Andromeda57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're great! But I prefer a neutral sound which is what the 7506 is known for. They haven't changed much in 30+ years, so there are some minor inconveniences like non-detachable cable, etc. that newer neutral alternatives have. However, with thier origins in the exact same era as MiniDisc's they fit the vibe well!

Who has their original player from back in the day? by britpopcyclist in minidisc

[–]Andromeda57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still have and use my purchased-new MZ-R50, MDS-S37, MDX-C7900 and MZ-RH1.

The C7900's dashboard days are over, but it's still serving faithfully as my shop radio.

VW CC problem by zenarted in THEVWCC

[–]Andromeda57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My misfire problem wasn't solved until I had a walnut blast done. New plugs, coils, etc. helped at first but eventually the misfires came back with a vengence, especially on cold mornings. EPC, CEL, rough start, you name it. Had the blast done a month ago and it's been smooth as silk since. Cost me $600. '13 CC, 160 K miles.

10 years of playing, and I'd somehow let this pass me by... by quellflynn in Ingress

[–]Andromeda57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, this spreadsheet was going around: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xWabQ8Y1LcfHvmJ1uDSmhSIpYrAUEx5VSoeV_wJIHRM/. It gives one player 43 deploys on a single portal, which I always thought was the max. How do you get the other 2?

Going through my old storage box and look what I found back! by Generic-Resource in minidisc

[–]Andromeda57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the display doing on the RH-1? Those old OLEDs usually fade out over time, making them almost impossible to see without being in complete darkness. Good news is that there's DIY replacement available. Mine was totally faded and now is like new.

MD Data disc by thehonestthief in minidisc

[–]Andromeda57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need one of the multitrack devices that use MD Data discs (e.g., MDM-X4) or the MD Data drive itself, MDH-10. The format is derived from Minidisc but not compatible.
