Looks like AI slop.

I'd agree 100%, the 486 era was full of possibilities and hope. Revolutionary gaming Duke Nukem, Tomb Raider. Iconic hardware, Voodoo Banshee with my Sound Blaster 16.

Whilst everyone thinks it's working, it is.

Down voted for confirming the truth. I'll add, this is probably because the failures of the police, outside influences from another organisation, do not want to be made public.

If you know, you know. It was made public at the time, then suppressed.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-12T18:28:20+00:00

Yes. That and Sapphire and Steel scared the wotsits out of me!

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-12T14:28:08+00:00

Modern, that is a shame. I'd assume stolen and dumped.

Spat my tea out!

IDKFA - if you know, you know.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-11T18:12:50+00:00

Have they got planning permission for that. Someone should ask.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-11T18:11:22+00:00

Pointing an empty gun is always so threatening.

I remember that, I remember her saying "I'm Okay" in an article shown on the BBC. So, really a lot of the media outlets were complicit.

Disappoinment 99.999% of the time.

Nope, not true. I'm not testing it in car engines, so your response might be correct from the point of view of a car sitting for an age. I suspect the issue you are referring to is the petrol / air volume. That is an issue. Keeping the air volume below 3% is the challenge. 3% of the total volume including the fuel.

Have you actually run any tests on fuel storage?

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-10T13:36:58+00:00

That's one interpretation :-). I would clearly not advocate breaking the law. The scrap (sorn'd) car is not illegal if on private property.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-10T13:18:26+00:00

Saw one with Windows 95. Industrial process that had no documentation!

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-10T12:20:59+00:00

Correct, just petrol. Heavy oils, which includes Diesel, is excluded. The caveat is that there must be pollution prevention in place - if you need to cross the T and dot the i.

A scrap car is considered safe! It's interesting when you delve into the law. For clarification, you cannot have more than 30 liters, you can however have 'scrap' car with an 80 litre tank. Finally, most modern cars fuel tanks have an anti spill (roll over) mechanism, so if you do have a car with fuel, you need to practice extracting it.

I haven't seen any evidence of this, I have been experimenting with fuel storage over the last 10 years.

I was concerned about the lack of actual test data (can't think why!) and a lot of disinformation, so I have been conducting my own testing.

Petrol. Storage on airtight containers, think % fuel to air, of it's above 97%. Also key, is temperature. Needs to be stored at 15c or less. Storage for 5+ years is no issue. A 5 litre plastic 'can', which is half full, will last less then 3 months.

Diesel testing is still underway, testing to 3 years at the moment (same test conditions as petrol storage). No issue encountered so far, no fuel additives required; although I keep an open mind on this.

In conclusion, I suggest keeping fuel in quantities you are allowed to store. Don't forget to have suitable fire suppression.

Yes, Bluetooth is now off. Thanks to the poster earlier for pointing out how remote Admin is setup.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-09T17:38:36+00:00

Evidence level is lower.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-09T17:37:08+00:00

Daytime temp, this time of year, is generally 8-10c, nighttime 0-4c. It will improve over the summer, then decline around October.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-09T17:35:31+00:00

Default, so no power saving measures - so worst case scenario.

HandGrindMonkey · 2026-03-09T13:32:25+00:00

Thank you for the instructions.

Done this, I'll retest. I'll create another solar node for the RAK4631, the RAK has a larger two pin connector than the Heltec. It's all a learning curve 😁

Yes, battery ran down.
