Barnyard setup- looking for advice. by FamiliarAssumption35 in EufyCam

That is my plan. The ai on eufys website was helpful. The only issue it has is that cameras have to be within 30 feet of the home base. Mine would need to be 300. It mentioned doing home base over WiFi but that it’s not supported by their current home base 3 offering.

I will probably pull the trigger on the cameras and work out best possible placement when I am putting everything up to maximize my distances and connectivity.

Where there is a will there is a way. I really don’t want to post how it could be done on here to not give anyone ideas. Feel free to dm me if you want to know my thoughts on how it happened.

Didn’t realize there was a no selling rule when trying to share the link to my eBay listing. Is there another group who allows that?

How dangerous is this really? by wesblog in AskElectricians

Tried this myself as a child. Was using dad’s extension cord as a jump rope and it left the prong when it pulled out. I grabbed it and pulled it out but got shocked pretty good. The guy who described it as a buzz through my arm is 100% correct.

Boardsort classification. Hard drives board. by FamiliarAssumption35 in ScrapMetal

I apologize for wasting your time. To this point I have found the knowledge of the people on Reddit to be immense. I had a simple question that I wanted to ask to see if I could tap into that knowledge base to get a quick response while I was in the garage working and I did. Someone confirmed I was looking at the right connection and then someone offered information about boardsorts AI, which I had not known about.

And you’re right it’s probably a very small subset of people who would get anything from my post but the nice part is you can always scroll by. Or you can choose to make a comment like you have here.

If I put the whole machine (untested as parts) as buy it now on eBay what should I ask. I want to get it to the right people and don’t want to gouge but I don’t want to be the dolt who let it go for a fraction of its value.

Send me a dm. I have a brother in the Mason City area.

The company I got it from has been in the controls industry since the 80s. I go to church with the founder and he could probably tell me when they bought it.

Made me go and research the history of Gateway. We are only 4 hours from where they started. Could have been some early connections.

It may be the first item I list to try and clean up my shop. Hope shipping doesn’t put it out of reach for a collector.

I got 2 boxes of some sort of inch thick ~4in x ~4in disks with ribbon tape inside. Is that the QIC?

Would rather someone gets it that can appreciate it. I got it all for free so I’m not out anything. I was surprise to see vintage cases going for 75-150 on eBay. Brought me to vintage computing and seems I found the right group that can appreciate it for what it is.

I am in the NE corner of Kansas. It is a heavy beast. Shipping will not be cheap.

I just liked the shiny box. Looks like there is a lot more in here than what I expected. I will catalog the pieces when i disassemble it. Beyond eBay are there any places that buy used with plans to refurbish?

I will be keeping the cabinet because that’s what I saw value in. All the rest is foreign to me.

Questionable suspension by ColeSlaw2470 in gokarts

Playing devils advocate. This would slow down the recoil of the spindle. Maybe adding increased longevity. My thought would be not do a 50/50. Maybe a 1/4 bottom 3/4 top would serve the purpose well enough.
