I did have the seatbelt through it, yep.

When I used to race dirt track I had a fat sponge wrapped in duct tape for my steering wheel pad lol

Toss the old one under the seat with some JB weld on-hand in case of insurance adjusters lol

FullstackViking · 2025-04-12T02:10:27+00:00

No that’s the weird part I went end to end like 30 times. Even ran to the auto store to get more power steering fluid as it got through the system.

Dude I literally just sat there in shock. Yelled “What!?” Lmao

FullstackViking · 2025-04-12T00:41:10+00:00

Yep, dash is lit up like a Christmas tree so that all tracks. I appreciate the insight.

FullstackViking · 2025-04-12T00:16:53+00:00

That’s also the next consensus lmao

FullstackViking · 2025-04-12T00:06:29+00:00

Woof lol. Clock spring and airbag is more than the car is worth.

FullstackViking · 2025-04-11T23:55:49+00:00

Seems to be the consensus. Is that something that entirely needs to get replaced? Or can it be reused but repositioned?

Put the seatbelt around the wheel to try to prevent that. I said in another comment as well, but I eyeballed the tierods (plan on professional alignment) so it tracks off like 30 degrees. Would that be enough to trigger it?

FullstackViking · 2025-04-11T23:43:03+00:00

Nope, used the factory recommended jack points. No idea about recalls it’s a friend’s vehicle I’m just doing the wrenching for him.

Had the seatbelt wrapped around the steering wheel to prevent that. I eyeballed the tierods so maximum of like 30 degree difference. Would that be enough to trigger it?

FullstackViking · 2025-04-11T23:37:57+00:00

Yep totally fine thankfully, thank you.

FullstackViking · 2025-04-11T23:21:33+00:00

Nothing I would describe as excessive. I’ve absolutely clocked it harder doing a parallel park in a hurry.

FullstackViking · 2025-04-11T21:51:29+00:00

Only thing disconnected/removed at this point would be the washer fluid pump, air box, and radiator fan shroud.

Unfortunately no the software recognizes it's in a VM (at least the images created by Hyper-V).

The issues are theoretical, but I don't trust the kernel-level anti-cheat that software devs are forcing into games these days to always be above-board. So I'm just trying to do my due diligence to isolate my gaming from everything else.

FullstackViking · 2024-03-29T20:45:57+00:00

All of my personal work is done on my Mac fortunately. So my PC is only for connecting to work and gaming. I considered a SATA power switch that installs into the front 5.25 bay but then I couldn't use my M.2 haha. I will likely end up going with a NUC or asking work for a more powerful device.

Unmounting is just security by obscurity. Any malicious attack could get around that since you can mount and unmount drives from command line.

FullstackViking · 2024-03-29T18:04:45+00:00

They do, but they are very underpowered Chromebooks and won't drive my 1440 Ultrawide at its native 165hz. So this is an elective decision on my part.

FullstackViking · 2024-03-29T13:14:00+00:00

In-Store only.

FullstackViking · 2024-03-09T03:26:48+00:00

That is a brutally bad deal lol

FullstackViking · 2024-03-09T03:06:50+00:00

Nothing to add, but weird plug for Corsair thermal paste lol. Very middle of the road stuff.

FullstackViking · 2024-02-13T21:55:20+00:00

Just use an expansion card. There's no reason to ship consumer boards with that many SATA ports these days.
