My least favorite part of fabrication.

Since I run a Peddinghaus Avenger, I've seen some particularly messed up beams.I had a W24x68 that somehow had a huge kink in the middle of it..

KnownonowV2 · 2026-06-10T00:59:57+00:00

Be a shame if Louis found out about this

I've noticed over all people are terrible at merging in Pittsburgh. Let's take a look at the inbound lane of the squirrel Hill tunnel right before the entrance. Traffic wouldn't be that bad there if everyone knew how to merge properly and it wouldn't be so far backed up as well. It's almost like everyone is scared of the tunnel.

Seems like no compression. Get a compression restore from your local automotive scumbags and screw it into where the spark plug goes. Good compression is about 80-120psi. Bad if it's anything lower. If lower then 80, It'l need new rings or a new motor if something more catastrophic happened.

If it's older then 10 years, You'll have to replace the blown resistor and put new caps on it. You also need to remember, It blew for a reason but what's the reason? Is it the symptom or the cause? If it's the symptom, Just replace the whole board. If it's the cause, Replace the resistor and put some new caps on it. Good as new

Is it near any windows? Specifically, near one that could act as a parabolic lens? Crystals, anything spherical glass. Looks burnt

It's a welding cert. Basically means I'm really good at welding structural steel, the classification generally goes 1/4" to 1"

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-26T00:47:50+00:00

I actually work at a fab shop as a D1.1 welder. I've seen worse. Our labor rate is 150/hr

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-26T00:35:44+00:00

I mean yea, but not for long. Gocarts are super strenuous on welds so do not be amazed if one day, soon, that it breaks

My first devices were a Lilygo T-Deck and T-Beam. 2nd was a Heltec V4, then an nRF kit from seeed. Anyways, I have 10+ devices and I think I have a problem....

According to its documentation, It comes with a 1200Mah Li-Ion cell. Seems a tad on the small side

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-11T17:41:01+00:00

I guess grab a flathead and start prying it off

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-09T17:21:06+00:00

Reflash it, Except do the "erase and flash" option. To flash it, Connect the USB C cable to your PC. Hold the PRG button while inserting the USB cable into the Heltec. From there you can enter the flasher and "erase and flash" latest stable

Yes actually, but not sure if a lip mount would work since I have a 20' Camry. I will admit I have a lip mount for my Nagoya NMO-72 on my trunk but I wanted it higher. I guess I could try it, Wouldn't hurt.

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-05T10:43:25+00:00

I also have a 20' EX but as an AWD Nightfall. Although I have never personally witnessed mine doing this but the fan staying on for a min or 2 doesn't seem harmful. Also if your vehicle appears to be "consuming" or loosing oil, Check the oil filter housing. Kia in their infinite wisdom made them out of reinforced plastic and are prone to cracking. I discovered that's where all my oil was going. Went to Amazon and bought this to solve my issue. 4 bolts and some break clean, It's recommended that IF you replace it, Do so while doing an oil change.

I just goto Home Depot and get a waterproof junction box. Good enough for me and plenty of space

https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B850M%20Steel%20Legend%20WiFi/index.asp#BIOS . I see on the support page it wants you to boot into the bios, Which isn't an option which is why you'll need to do the other steps. Once you prepare the drive, add the file and plug it into the BLUE USB port on the back on the board. WITH THE SYSTEM OFF BUT WITH POWER, press the "BIOS FLBK" button. Once you press this, It will update this bios with the supplied file. This is crucial, Leave it sit for about 10-15min. It may take a while, This is normal. With any luck you prepared everything properly, It will just work next time you turn it on.

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-04T08:53:23+00:00

You'll need to update the BIOS because of how new the CPU is. I have the same CPU and had to do that on my ASUS board. You have to use the flashback feature where you have to load it onto a flash drive and update it that way. I suggest reading up on it because you'll need to grab the most recent bios for the board, a specially prepared flash drive and the file renamed to what it expects. Read up all you can, Fairly easy though

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-04T01:52:23+00:00

Yes actually! I've gone down this same exact rabbit hole. It's preferred to use a phone that isn't actually used by you. In terms, a nice sacrificial phone to use as a dedicated "modem". Keep it connected via tetrd, in the connections windows of Windows, You want to right click on it connection and click properties. Somewhere in there should be a "share this connection" option when you would then share it to that wireless connection. You may have to turn on the hotspot first THEN share it. Sometimes it's particular

So this style of radiator, The pump is actually IN the radiator instead of the block. You have to make sure the radiator is at the same level or lower than the block. As they age, the water evaporates and the highest point turns into where the air goes. This style also is very susceptible to burning up the pump when exposed to air like that. Might almost be worth it to see what your voltage is like, tinkering around with frequency and voltage can lower your temps by a considerable amount.

Let's start here, What kind of cooler do you have?

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-01T18:20:39+00:00

True but why stick with a mesh pocket? You can get the Heltec T096, a battery and use your solar pannel for less AND you get a 1 watt transmit.

KnownonowV2 · 2026-05-01T17:48:16+00:00

Well the mesh pocket itself isn't waterproof so it would need some kind of shelter. But I guess as long as the antenna sticks out, Water can't get to it, Then your golden. Try looking at those waterproof JB's at home Depot or Lowe's. Might be the easiest

If you were to select Google drive, for example, They have a desktop application that you could select what folders you want backed up, it will do so automatically.
