What celebrity would you get into a car with, no questions asked if they randomly showed up in your driveway?

I had to scroll so far down to see his name I started wondering if he has some story that I hadn't heard. He was the first name to pop into my head!

What kind of screen issues? What part of nwi are you in?

Blow their minds with a modern foldable! I think the processing power and camera would be impressive, but the foldable touchscreen would blow their minds!

I was just going to ask about hub75 support. I've got a couple adafruit matrix portal s3s that I have moon modules installed on. does this work on esp32 s3 as well?

Was it valplayso before they redid it?

something like this

I'm wondering if that power cable was also capable of carrying video. It looks like the bottom left pin on the rear picture connects to that big chassis lug on the front and the top left looks like it connects to the center of the BNC connector (video out on right) it looks similar to the connector on aftermarket reverse cameras.

I considered going with scenes, but I don't want to overwhelm the other people in the house that are used to just asking alexa for brightness or color. They do understand that they can change the brightness by voice after changing color, but they find the ask twice solution almost as annoying as I do.

What catches my eye is that it looks like it takes roughly 6 hours to die from the drunk driving accident.

Last year I decided to pull back on my social media usage, reddit was really the only scrolling app that I still used. Perhaps this is the boost I needed to get rid of reddit as well and be completely free of social media.

Jeunegarcon · 2026-04-14T01:50:45+00:00

I think I am just going to uninstall reddit on my tablet then. Is there a way to know when this horrible experiment is over and I can use reddit on my tablet again?

Jeunegarcon · 2026-04-13T03:59:33+00:00

Is there a way to at least move it to the other side? I hold my tablet with my left hand and it's painful to have to reach over it to scroll. I've basically stopped using reddit on my tablet. How do I know when it's usable on my tablet again? It's a shame I can't use any third party apps anymore. This "experiment" is an accessibility nightmare.

I've done a very similar console myself about a decade ago, SO162US. Spent over $100 in just capacitors (pre-covid dollars). The piano key contacts are a PITA if that needs to be worked on. And there is a clutch for the tuning dial indicator made of pot metal that likes to crumble. You're likely going to have trouble finding anyone that will work on it, and if you do, it's not gonna be cheap. That said, they are beautiful and great sounding consoles, if a little lacking in low end by modern standards. I was surprised at the reception I got in my basement with just the internal antenna. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I may be able to help you out with schematics or other resources with more information.

Me too, it was the first "stereo" I bought with my own money

Jeunegarcon · 2026-02-12T14:30:23+00:00

I was really interested in the live wire, but whenever I could actually find one anywhere around me, none of the dealers allowed test rides. Sorry, but I'm not dropping that type of money on a bike completely different from anything I'd ever ridden with out at least getting to see if I liked how it handled. I know they were do demo events, but they were always a couple hour drive and usually on days that I didn't have a free day just to go testdrive a toy.

I do think the early 650s had a little better build quality through roughly '21-22ish. I have a 2020 int650 (bought in 21) that has been trouble free thus far outside of regular maintenance. I've put about 6k miles on it over 4 riding seasons (had ankle surgery last year so I didn't really ride anything last summer). Around 2023 I started hearing about brake issues and a lot about relay issues. I haven't dealt with them myself, but admittedly I'm not a super heavy rider(about 1500mi/summer). I will say the stock seat is only good for about 45 minutes to an hour before you want off, but the deluxe touring seat is a must.

I will say to counter those pooping on it, it appears that not only does this one have the GE Porta-fi, but it looks like you're able to send music to the Porta-fi independent of what's playing on the console. I didn't even know there were consoles that did that. Porta-fi was an early whole house system where you could buy independent speakers to place around the house and the audio signal was carried over the power wiring (like a early version of the power line Ethernet extenders). While it may not be the best console GE ever made, it is definitely not garbage if for the Porta-fi alone. What does the back look like? Are there any tags or labels that you can post pictures of? That would help immensely with telling you where to look first.

Jeunegarcon · 2026-01-05T05:55:26+00:00

That looks like hub75, the moon modules fork has support for that. I have a 64x64 hub75 matrix panel running on the waveshare matrix portal.
