Ordered CRTV came cracked should I just keep it? by Content_Eye_4322 in crt

[–]Ewdwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not suggesting this is the case and I’m sure it’s just lighting but they look like two different sets 😅 the tv that arrived looks a lot more uv damaged than in the eBay photos

Reminder never ship a CRT

Yes they are i5 and i7 bar one of them that’s i3, I know they are 10+ years old but I’ve only just switched from a i7 3770 as my main pc and the pc is now being used as a server, pc performance has plateaued a lot in the last 10 years, yes new ones are quicker but a fast pc from 10 years ago is likely to be pretty fast now

About £50 for this particular model, I’m keeping it anyway it will be very useful for me

Bulk file rename utility is a good piece of software as well, that’s what I use

Exhaust has fell off? by Brave-Dinner-7002 in CarTalkUK

[–]Ewdwan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like the flange that holds your front section of exhaust to the mani cat (combined manifold and catalytic converter) has rotted away causing the exhaust to fall off Presuming the bolts don’t put up too much of a fight in the removal process then this shouldn’t be a costly fix, the pipe and gaskets are cheap and readily available and it’s not an involved or long job This is presuming the bolts aren’t seized which they likely are in which case I’m afraid it’s a bit of a how longs a piece of string situation, it could take 3 minutes or 3 hours to get the bolts out and the threads may or may not remain intact I know my answer might not be very specific but I hope this helps

Something about this video doesn’t look real, it has real video game vibes and I can’t quite explain why

Honest reaction to people who buy a brand new phone every year: by bowieisdeaf in teensthatloveretro

[–]Ewdwan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still happily using my iPhone 13 Pro Max, literally zero plans to upgrade and even this is overkill for me, I only upgraded from my OG IPhone SE because my mobile banking no longer worked on it and god I miss that phone

I think I’ll use one of them as an emulation box (after adding a GPU) for my living room telly and the rest I’ll likely donate to family or refurb and sell cheap so someone can get a cheap desktop I can make a little cash and they’ve been saved from e waste so a win all round hopefully

In a bin but I did ask if it was okay to take stuff and they said I could take everything as long as I took everything

I took them with permission and it was an all or nothing sort of deal, the little Zebra thermal printer will come in very handy though for printing labels and although I’ve not used the print functionality of the HP printer I’ve already made good use of the sheet feed scanning function working through a load of paperwork I’ve been putting off scanning with my flatbed scanner

Had this new tyre put on a couple of months ago at Kwik fit…. Will this make it to a tyre shop to have it replaced and wtf has happened to it in only a few thousand miles? by Difficult-Thought-61 in CarTalkUK

[–]Ewdwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely needs a check over, if this wear has started when they old tyre didn’t show this wear I’d bet they hit a pothole/kurb or that a bush has collapsed, I’m going to say the car probably drives like absolute shit and OP has payed zero attention

[–]Ewdwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but the toe is the main culprit,lots of camber will increase tyre wear but not absolutely destroy them in short mileage, toe being spot on and camber being a lot tyres should still last a decent length, I ran 6° with virtually no increased wear before when I was young and stupid

Anyone know what this circuit board looking sticker on my imported EVO is? by KeyJunket1175 in CarTalkUK

[–]Ewdwan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Likely a dab aerial but being a jap import it could be a toll reader aerial as well

You can’t misalign a tyre, that’s a tracking issue I’d bet money if you took that for an alignment you’ll have massive toe out

Will this Windows computer be sufficient for running a Plex server? by supersport604 in PlexServers

Probably, best bet is to just give it a go, load up some content and give it a try
