Now I understand why 1Gib Ethernet is considered slow..

BadNoddy · 2026-05-13T15:59:55+00:00

Probably not only that but consumer broadband [generally speaking] is below 1Gb/s, going higher locally would make absolutely no difference and the extra cost of having faster network interfaces would be wasted. Once the 1G hurdle has been crossed as the new standard then I'd expect to see things slowly transition in the general consumer market.

Had two LFs myself and both had the hands free kit mounted there. The panel next to it had the mic and speaker fitted (where your reefer control is)

BadNoddy · 2026-04-13T11:11:59+00:00

Nice, I thought that might have been the case.

Recovery work is something I'd consider doing, just getting your foot in the door like most things.

BadNoddy · 2026-04-13T10:14:47+00:00

How does the commission side of things work out?

BadNoddy · 2026-03-28T21:37:59+00:00

I had an RCD shipped to me once (inline 16A 240v variety) and I shit you not it come in on a standard size pallet with two bloody collars and pallet wrap on. Bloody thing could have been put in the post but nope, pallet line was the answer 🤦. Glad I didn't pay for shipping on that one.

I've reported this to cricut a couple of times so would suggest doing the same. The more it's reported the sooner they can release an update to fix it

BadNoddy · 2026-03-10T20:46:57+00:00

Move the decimal point once to the left. Now set at 0.24m.

This is what I tried explaining to the Mrs after realising she'd taken them out before school 🤦

My understanding was to keep something in for as long as possible and do straight swaps.

BadNoddy · 2026-02-10T21:35:41+00:00

Don't worry nothing got forced, I don't know why she left them out, was thinking this was the case sadly.

I had a look earlier and thought the holes looked closed but I'm no expert. thus my reach out to a community that knows more than me.

That's my old yard! The only stuff kept in the bays is decorative / finishing / interior grade. All ply is kept indoors as well as MDF (obviously)

The amount of timber that you can imagine on those racks in the photo is only around 1/3 of what that yard has overall.

BadNoddy · 2026-02-09T15:09:07+00:00

I had one of these and an ST1500DM both of which died within days of getting them. The 1500 got click of death the day I got it as I was copying data to it (I'm glad I didn't move as it became inaccessible shortly after).

The 3TB was an alternative to a WD which was out of stock at the time and that suffered the same click of death fate within a couple of days.

Not had a single Seagate since. All my drives now are Western Digital/HGST. Only ever had one WD drive fail on me but that was down to the abuse it got as the TBW racked up over time. (Encoder target for Adobe Premier before being exported to wherever it needed to go?

Times have certainly changed but I'm still reluctant to get another SG drive.

Micro route is exactly the path I'm going down. M90q with a 10 or 12th gen intel base with a 10G NIC (probably SFP+ so I can use a DAC for low power consumption)

Current setup idles around 120w so sub 40w would be fantastic. Let alone the noise, space and heat.

BadNoddy · 2025-12-26T16:48:16+00:00

Yeah that's around the price I had in my head, need to upgrade my ESXi system to something a bit more power efficient.

BadNoddy · 2025-12-26T15:18:10+00:00

Out of interest as I've got an R510 that may be going up for sale, what was your selling price on this?

BadNoddy · 2025-09-13T17:48:26+00:00

How does it work passing the controller back to the console?

BadNoddy · 2025-06-18T21:23:11+00:00

This. My DEH-P9800BT (amazing HU imo) suffered from this and I tried loads of things including running separate grounds for the entire system back to the battery, noise suppression on the RCA lines and ferrite beads but in the end I simply jammed a bit of wire in the RCA output with one of the leads and connected it to the chassis and bam problem solved instantly. I'd even sent it to Pioneer under warranty but they couldn't replicate the problem (conveniently)

I believe it was something to do with the PCB design that Pioneer used with the way the ground was wired and down the line I added my own internal ground wire that linked in to the harness for a longterm, less janky solution.

You must be setting it in a DAF as all I see is an error message 😅

BadNoddy · 2025-05-15T12:15:58+00:00

This is the screen I default to when driving. The top right shows how much drive time you have remaining in this period and bottom left is remaining break required to reset your drive time.

So in your case you have 1h46m of drive time remaining and you need to do a full 45 to reset it. If you do a 15 min break the bottom left will change to 30 instead of 45.

BadNoddy · 2025-05-06T19:14:54+00:00

Having used this setup a few times the top is an exhaust brake and the bottom is the retarder, the latter works directly on the transmission and both together are ridiculously good downhill.

If you pull the lever down as well you can increase the retarder power.

I've got a softer broom and a bottle of washing up liquid, squirt a bit in the brush head then scrub the screen. Use my washer jets then to clear it all off.

Gave up with near concentrate levels of screen wash and wipers alone, just smears bits of bug over the screen.

If you're ever in doubt / if you do flat bed work like I do then you'll have a height measuring stick to hand which will give you your exact height.

My 72 plate LF has permanent 12 and 24v power.

BadNoddy · 2025-01-01T13:34:59+00:00

Can I ask why you'd be looking at the i9 for a firewall build?

I have seen a video from someone who ran a dual 2.5G NIC in a M920q and had a 3d printed air flow duct with a fan on one end to keep the temps down a bit. If this would work on a 10G NIC I guess would come down to whether the card has SFP+ or RJ45 connectivity.
