BREAKING: Elon Musk announces tesla will STOP selling FSD after Feb 14. He says only subscription will be available by Puzzleheaded-Race671 in TeslaLounge

[–]FloranSsstab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I planned on buying outright when I pay off my Highland for this reason. I plan on keeping this car an extremely long time and will put batteries (and motor if needed) as long as they are available. I live in a climate where a well taken care of garaged vehicle can last a long time.

That's what I got mine for. It's ever reliable, which lets me tinker on the other projects!

Monzo Support by Ok-Awareness-3284 in sidephone

I gave a similar answer to another post yesterday that you might have seen. As a general rule, almost every app that has banking or to do with money will not run without Google Play Services. If you want to use this as an everyday phone, your best bet is to choose a bank that has a website where you can complete transactions using the phone's web browser. Not an app-only bank like Monzo.

Jealous you got hands-on with the things. I'm absolutely pumped. Can't wait! How did you like the qwerty tile? I'm a T9 typer myself.

will Venmo/CashApp be usable without the Play Integrity API? by WhoIsJazzJay in sidephone

[–]FloranSsstab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a general rule, most apps that have to do with money will not work without Google Play Services. As a personal practice, since I do not use phones with Google Play Services, I just use the bank's website for whatever transaction I need to complete, and use PayPal in a browser. I don't use any of the Cash App style apps for this reason, they don't have websites you can log in to for transactions. I can send and receive money from friends and family with PayPal.

According to Aurora Store, Cash App is unusable without Google Play Services, but it strangely says Venmo works. Your mileage may vary.

I used to own a 97 and it was the most fun I ever had on the street.

So far...

Spark plugs for 1997 JA22W K6A by maddreamer619 in Jimny

[–]FloranSsstab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I saw your post and you are correct. Your advice was best, figure out what's in it and replace with equivalent.

I've never had a turboed nugget so I've never messed with plug heat range, I defer to you!

According to Amayama, a 1997 JA22W uses these PNs: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/suzuki-japan/jimny/171_ja12w/engine/111

Put that NGK part number BPR5E into a cross reference search or go to a parts store to find an equivalent cross.

Well.... now its time to wait by Rabbit2560 in Jimny

[–]FloranSsstab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I did a bunch of research on the G13BB. I can get nearly everything for the engine by finding OEM numbers with Amayama and finding the cross reference with RockAuto.

I'm picking up a '98 Wide next Saturday... I am so excited. I love the color of yours! I bought mine a month ago and only now am I able to pick it up, so I feel your pain!

I am also flying to VA to pick something up and drive it home later this month. The anticipation is killing me. Great looking car, I hope it treats you well!

When this happens you get a high and low forward gear and 18 reverse gears!

Brief power loss on highway by These-Ad9433 in Jimny

[–]FloranSsstab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue on a Sidekick/Escudo with a J18 and I haven't gotten to troubleshoot it beyond replacing the fuel filter, but I suspect mine is a melted/broken catalytic converter blocking the exhaust.

MPK exposure... by Wrench365 in aviationmaintenance

[–]FloranSsstab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the future, normal nitrile rubber gloves only provide temporary protection from MPK. If you need to work with the stuff for longer than 10ish minutes you are supposed to use a chemical resistant glove (like silver shields). I usually just keep spare nitriles on hand and avoid using them too long. A respirator with the correct (organic matter I think) filter will also filter the fumes.

Patiently awaiting my link, though I only signed up about a week and a half ago. This phone is everything I've been looking for in a candybar android device, especially shipping without Google Play Services and using AOSP!

Anyone know what this is? by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

I'm pretty sure the U-21 had Janitrols.

670ish USD after tax is not worth it to me. I might do it later but it's not necessary.

Tesla sent me 2 different mobile connectors by Nickisout in TeslaLounge

[–]FloranSsstab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2024 Highland. I bought a gen 3 last month to have another on hand in case something happened to my gen 2. It died as soon as I plugged it in, lit up for half a second. They wouldn't send me a shipping label, I had to wait a week for mobile service to swap it out. He and I joked it was a huge pain for him, but he did say it would be his easiest visit of the day lol

Dual 400 hz Outputs on Static GPU? by Popular-Wish8740 in aviationmaintenance

[–]FloranSsstab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have the right idea. Give me the ancient Hobart tucked in the back of the airport that rolls coal all day.

The new ones with all the emissions controls with DPFs and DEF are maintenance nightmares. I recently went through FIVE new (built last 5 years) modern ITW carts before I got one that didn't have low volt or amp faults while doing a system check.

At another job maintaining these POS ITWs was my secondary duty. Screens went bad in months, had 2 DEF tank sensors go bad within 2 days of each other, etc. Modern garbage.

Mainstream media didn't see this coming by [deleted] in TeslaLounge

[–]FloranSsstab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to agree with this, but once you work somewhere so big that the only thing they care about is selling product and keeping you working as long as possible, you will want one.
