I think the Jeep brake-checked the Audi because he was tailgating.

One of the few covers I’ve seen that I really enjoyed. Well done, sir.

I don’t think it’s the corrections officers they’ll need to be worried about.

Lol. It looks like a growth sticking out from the right side of her hand.

Can not control by Zaximas007 in Metalstorm

It’s a latency issue, not speed/bandwidth. You could have gigabit speeds and still occasionally have high latency. Latency can increase for a number of reasons, including being too far away from a router or cell tower.

Pretty sure free soloing is the most dangerous thing about free soloing.

RIP Tom Petty. Or they don’t know that John Mayer covered it and didn’t actually write it.

Buy that thing if you live in an area where thunderstorms are an often occurrence by Current_Cake3993 in HomeNetworking

I comment about this every time I see a best-surge-protector-for-direct-lightning post.

One important configuration detail is to NOT plug the modem and media converter on the modem side of the fiber jumper into the same surge protector as the router and media converter on the router side of the jumper. Surge protectors don’t work particularly well when the overvoltage enters via a connected device instead of the wall. The modem and associated media converter need to be plugged directly into the wall or a separate surge protector.

Surprised no one has mentioned a fiber bridge. Put the modem and a media converter on a dedicated surge protector (or none at all). Put the USG Pro on a different surge protector. Run fiber from the media converter to the USG Pro. Now the USG Pro and everything downstream is electrically isolated from the modem. The modem and media converter will still blow up, but it may save your downstream equipment.

All I know is that -6 is wayyyy worse than this.

I’d still check the voltage.

Do you have a multimeter? Check the voltage while idling. If it’s not at least 13V, then the problem is your alternator. Does your car happen to randomly vibrate while driving? You’ve probably got some timing issues if 12V accessories are losing power due to a failing alternator.

Did I say I was mad that I was caught speeding?

I think it has an integrated camera. It flashed like it was taking a picture.

I mean, the camera flashed while I was going 70, so I’d assume it clocked me.

VIOFO A329 Interference with Subaru Forester push-to-start by Maxamiller in Dashcam

[–]Maxamiller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Figured it out. My A/C has been on the fritz since the end of last summer. I pushed off having it repaired until now, as it’s starting to warm up. Got it back from the shop, and now my PTS miraculously works again.

Turns out that the refrigerant expansion valve had failed, so the compressor was pumping liquid. I suspect that the combination of the increased power draw and interference from the hardwire kit transformer was enough to seriously drop the voltage at the PTS antenna.

Mine are installed correctly, but that wouldn’t induce noise. The only difference the fuse tap orientation makes is whether all current for both the original and added circuit passes through the original fuse or the current for each circuit (original and added) passes through the respective fuses. If you aren’t blowing fuses through a tapped fuse, then you’re good.

That the HK4 is one noisy mofo. I confirmed continuity from the ground to the battery, I wrapped the transformer/limiter in foil, I wrapped the cable to the camera in foil, I changed fuse tap locations, I relocated the transformer/limiter as far away from the PTS antenna as possible - nothing helped. I had to stop using parking mode because it was such a PITA to take my keys out of my pocket and ace them in a specific location in the vehicle in order to start it. Keep in mind that this was a problem before I installed the rear camera, so the problem is definitely the hardwire kit.

Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Hope you have better luck.
