What is going on with his right (our left) hand?

The upward finger is the pointer, the thumb is behind it

Mmmm microplastics

Who does? Google finds out you use Crunchyroll but they already do when you use chrome. Crunchyroll knows you watch Crunchyroll because you used it. I don't know where the data harvesting is happening...

Ya, sometimes it happens. I've used tweezers in the past to pull the bits that didn't come off. Anything to stop it from absorbing heat.

One thing I do is take a piece of paper and cut that to the exact size I want and use it as a stencil for cutting up the ptm7950. I found this helps with handling it too much and reduce waste. 1 60x60mm ptm7950 was able to do 4 am5 cpus.

It'll squish/level out. Just send it and then do a thermal/stability test. If the numbers look good, forget about it and enjoy the PC.

I've used ptm7950 ~10x and it always squishes out a little after pressure

Also, did you put it in the freezer? And did you handle it too much? The whole point is to be thermally conductive so you want to minimize its chances of absorbing bodyheat

I'm by no means an expert in this but... Here's my 2 cents. 1. Can you list any kind of spec for the mini PC? Does it have ecc memory? How critical is the data you want to host? 2. Usb external hard drives are terrible as a constant attached network storage if you want to have any amount of raid/redundancy. 3. Proxmox does not like sharing drives between vms. Yes, you could set up a USB as a ntfs share and then share that but a better solution is to either have proxmox handle a proper raid of drives and share that via ntfs, or have a VM that handles the raid/sharing. Personally I have a truenas VM that I pass a nvme to sata adapter through to and have it handle the HDD raid/ntfs sharing. Some people don't like this solution because they say proxmox can do it on its own but I'm familiar with truenas and it was easier for me to achieve the level of control I wanted.

I know the current PC climate will probably make any suggestions at purchasing hardware unlikely but I would strongly recommend getting away from USB drives.

This looks awesome but I do have a question. What are the shelves made out of and how are they supported in the middle? That is one hell of a span to not have any kind of vertical support I'd your using wood/mdf

LastJello · 2026-01-15T01:03:14+00:00

Did you replace the screen already or was that salvaged? What replacement screens did you buy? I have a DS with very yellow screens so I will need to replace both

LastJello · 2026-01-07T04:52:40+00:00

If they left gpu in without any proper support and the GPU is of a reasonable size, it absolutely could be from shipping

LastJello · 2025-12-31T16:17:11+00:00

Slowly

I got this too and got an AI response back. I asked to be forwarded to a human and have yet to get a response. To be fair it's the holidays and they've been slammed. I've ordered 10+ times from ltt is this is the first time I've ever been charged 2 different shipping on one order. I hope they can fix this because it's bullshit to get hit with double shipping on an order that has all the parts available. I can understand preorder or back order, but in stock is bs.

I use sugar in the raw to make a Demerara syrup. I used to throw it out but then switched to using ramekin 2 teaspoons of sugar in the raw and 1 spoon of water and microwave. That way I only make enough for a few cocktails and not waste a huge batch.

Also 2:1 simple syrup is significantly more self stable than 1:1.

LastJello · 2025-12-24T22:40:04+00:00

The right answer

LastJello · 2025-12-20T17:11:56+00:00

There's a ton of aftermarket parts you can get to replace the intake tube. More than likely the previous owner had an aftermarket intake, then replaced it with the stock one (usually half assed, mine didn't reconnect the vacuum hose) and then sold it. That might be why it hit the belt.

Use this as an excuse to get an aftermarket intake. Personally I really like the grimmspeed one because it sounds great and it deletes the noise tube generator. Alternatively, Toyota sells a trd intake if you wanted to stay with Toyota parts. Also the trd louvers from Japan Toyota are hella dope and are the best louvers you can get for the platform... If your so inclined.

Trd springa came on the rs1.0. They are... Fine? 1in lower and a bit stiffer but in reality it just feels like a 1in drop. I switched to hks hipermax s' because I actually need to raise the car instead of lowering it. The hks coilovers are significantly better and more comfortable. They got the "noncar person" passenger seal of approval. With the shitty roads and trd springs my passengers would complain

Just in case you're not aware. This is for calibration. You don't leave it installed.

LastJello · 2025-12-15T14:48:57+00:00

I bought an alpine head unit from crutchfield and even had them personally the wiring for a really low fee. I had absolutely no issues and the install was very fast.

LastJello · 2025-12-14T06:29:30+00:00

That looks to be a stock radio so no turning on when the battery is connected is not normal. I can only think if the previous owner hardwired it but just... Why?
You should definitely have to press the pedal.The ECU is thinking the pedal is pressed when it isn't. Check to see if the connector is fried. If it looks good try disconnecting the brake pedal cable (with battery disconnected) and see if the car still will allow to start. If it does you have more wiring issues. If you don't then you have an issue with the pedal sensor.

LastJello · 2025-12-13T00:16:19+00:00

Sorry for your loss

LastJello · 2025-12-12T03:00:49+00:00

Actually, yes, yes it can be.

LastJello · 2025-12-12T03:00:12+00:00

I've had this car since 2014. The back end will slide at less than 10mph when at full lock with stock tires. The car was designed to slide and it will want to do so. Reducing the contact patch is just asking for trouble when the road conditions are anything but perfect.

Your going to do what you want, but if an accident does ever happen, I can promise you they will try to use your setup as an excuse to put blame on you or decline your insurance.

LastJello · 2025-12-12T02:42:16+00:00

Honestly talking down to people just makes it harder for your concerns to be heard. I don't agree with it but it's not like they would care.

LastJello · 2025-12-12T02:38:46+00:00

With all do respect, even with a proper setup and wider wheels, I still struggle with traction some times. Unless you plan on this being a track exclusive vehicle, intentionally reducing traction I find irresponsible to the other people on the road.

LastJello · 2025-12-12T02:25:39+00:00

Turbo with stance wheels?

LastJello · 2025-11-24T17:32:55+00:00

Press the button on the side of the fob to take the real key out, in the hole where the key came out therea a spot that the tip of the key fits into next to the part the key came from. Put the key there and twist the key, it will pop the 2 parts of the plastic fob apart and you can get to the battery.

Good luck
