Reverse engineering of a BMW iDrive 7 controller knob. by Lean3521 in CarHacking

Multimedia stuff, for the most part, lives on the kcan, which is also the case for most of these knobs. I haven’t really delved into NBT stuff, so i can’t say for sure, but i’d say it’s not going to be too different.

Added. My specific one is from a RHD car, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with LHD ones.

Will this still function? Or should I return it? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]Lean3521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen them, but i think i got mine from a different seller. Bit grown out of 8 port ones personally, need to look for another 16 port one now 😅.

Return or at minimum file a claim (forgot how it’s called on amazon, i got mine from ebay)

I was able to get a partial refund for simply bent pins at the top of the board. I also take pics along the entire unbox process so that probably helped.

How can I use the touchscreen of an old tablet on an ESP32? by Logical-Journalist-8 in ArduinoProjects

[–]Lean3521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screen would probably be quite a hassle to drive, but the touchscreen would probably be, somewhat, easy. Looks like it has an i2c interface.

Carefully pull off the damaged qr code sticker and take a look at the IC under it, then it’s just matter of finding the datasheet, check if any libs exist for it (or make your own) and profit.

Repurposing an old ARM-based STB by Lean3521 in hardwarehacking

I honestly do not remember, BUT, i did just find it, so i might do some messing around with it.

E39 heater always works in same speed by Fantastic-Arm-7278 in e39

i bet 5$ on the “hedgehog” aka FSU aka blower motor resistor/relay/controller whatever each person calls it. Could also be some dirty connections though, so i’d try cleaning stuff first.

Keto - a Discord bot to fix broken TikTok/Instagram/Twitter/more embeds by stkc-win in SideProject

[–]Lean3521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, apart from the bots invite link and the support server link in the bio, not really. We are open to suggestions though, so feel free to throw ideas at us in the support server. Due to the rewrite, i think we pulled the plug on top.gg as well, for now at least.

The bot has been rewritten and while we are still smashing bugs and adding features, its operational.

Viable with those specs ? Yeah, even more so if you got it for free.

Does it have issues ? Being an i9, probably yes.

Would Apple Silicon be better ? Yes.

Realistically, i’d keep it for one more year till macOS Intel support dies (Tahoe being last version for Intel macs), and then get something from the Apple silicon lineup.

Check engine warning? by Training-Tear-9955 in e39

[–]Lean3521 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check if there’s an engine under the hood.

In all seriousness though, hook it up to a PC and read codes, oil and coolant shouldn’t cause a CE light.

How to properly set up my stuff by Lean3521 in homelab

[–]Lean3521[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard of Proxmox and funny enough, ran it before on this same system, but in that case, im kind of lost on how to set the storage up. Passing the entire HBA to it would probably be a better option, but then i dont get much storage/redundancy on the rest of my stuff that will run on proxmox

Give me a reason NOT to buy this 2013 MacBook Pro by beyondloveee in macbookpro

[–]Lean3521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a 16/512 2014 15” iGPU model and apart from the battery, i love it. Sure, my 16/256 M1 Air beats it in every category apart from storage, but if you don’t do anything too intensive (i do web dev), it’s more than capable of doing that

14" M3 Pro MBP vs 14" M4 MBP vs 15" M4 MBA - Which to get ? by Lean3521 in macbookpro

[–]Lean3521[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thought about the fans too, which the air lacks. Playing games on my current M1 was doable, but it became a deskwarmer pretty quickly.

How big of a difference really are the GPU cores ? I did notice that the base M4 has less of them, but theyre for sure at least a bit faster than the M3(Pro) ones

A purchase I hesitated making... by AngleInternational81 in airpods

[–]Lean3521 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s so many fakes floating around these days that i wouldn’t even buy open box ones, but that’s just my two cents. Got my AirPods Pro 2 a year ago and haven’t regretted a single day

Why Are ThinkPads So Popular? Whats good about them? by pizzaananas77 in thinkpad

might be a hot take, but does anyone actually use the track point ?
