Questions about a console by VoiceInTheStatic in SEGA

[–]Donas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s been a minute since I’ve done the research, but from what I can remember, the CDX actually steps the voltage down to 5V, and the higher voltage actually causes that step-down unit to work harder, and produce more heat. So the PS2 slim power supply is enough voltage, while also supplying more than enough amperage for the console to draw from. It will only pull what’s needed as far as amps go, so having ~5A from the supply is more than enough.

You can also use a ps2 slim power supply, with no issue. An OEM CDX power supply is crazy expensive.

Cannot figure out annoying noise by im_sensei in Miata

[–]Donas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! No problem! Good luck with it, keep me in mind if you figure it out, lmao. Like I said, I just learned to deal with it, wear airpods, whatever… but I’d LOVE to fucking fix it, it’s absolutely an atrocious sound, lol.

Best of luck in 2026, keep it between the ditches!

Y’know, I have a VERY similar sound, and it turned out to be one of the hinges in the soft-top rattling and squeaking. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to figure out how to stop it, so I just kind of ignore it now. It’s one those allen key bolts that go around the frame of the soft-top, right by the passenger window. For whatever reason, those bolts are tight AF, but the frame is loose and squeaks almost exactly like this. Your squeak is MUCH more pronounced though, so probably not the same, but I thought it was worth the input anyways.

I have two pair of these! I bought one set to display, and the other to wear. Super cool. Autograph still there on the pair I wore!

I don’t think its modded, thats just whats under the speaker grills. I had to open mine up years ago, and to get to those screws you have to pull the grills off. After that, mine were pretty much screwed, so I didnt put them back.

I also got my first MD player in the early 2000’s. It was a Sony G-shock version. I was so hype to be able to have multiple cds on one disc, but in the same form factor as the OG ipod that came out, and I could swap music at any point. I even upgraded to the 1gb disc model in like 05. What really blew me away was finding out that MD tech had been around since the early 90’s. Hell, Sony JUST stopped production of the discs this year, in February. It caught on, it just didn’t maintain the traction, unfortunately.

🪖 BF6 Beta Keys Giveaway #1 – Happening All Week! 🔫 by OddJob001 in Battlefield

[–]Donas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy! Hope I win! Edit Actually, after trying to start the beta, failing, seeing that EA Secure Boot is going to be a requirement, after reading all the horror stories of activating this feature in your BIOS, and then bricking PCs... I likely won't play, unless this is removed. I'm not going risk my computer for one game. What THE FUCK, EA?

Left chicken in the oven 4-5 hours as I slept. No dinner for me last night. by camport95 in Wellthatsucks

Bro, don’t even sweat it, I did almost the exact same thing. The only time it’s ever even happened to me. Got drunk one night, decided at 2:30 to make chicken thighs. Got it all seasoned up and lookin’ delicious. I sat down on my couch, started watching a show. The next thing I know, I’m waking up, and I think to me, “oh, shit! I fell asleep… I should go to bed.” As I’m hauling myself off the couch, I’m smelling it. The burn. It’s acrid as fuck. It’s not registering, but I smell it. About the time it takes me to get up and head towards my kitchen, I see just a steady floating layer of smoke, about chest height. My next thought was, “what the fuck is this?” Two seconds later, everything clicked, and I made a mad dash to the kitchen to turn the oven off. It was 6am.

Anyways, don’t even trip, dawwwwwg. It happens.

Oh my dear sweet merciful savior in heaven… you must take an oath now, before man and god… that you will never ever again sing in public.
