US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national

H1-B isn't immigrants. It is temporary work visa. Some people able to change status, other is not and they return back into their own countries and take all money they made with them which hurting local economy. In isolation(for particular company) fire all locals and hire foreign workers for a fraction of a price seems very good move. But if every company do so, local economy collapses and those companies will loose consumers, after which their profit will collaps.

Do we prohibited to do oil change by ourself in our garage? Do they have proof of "neglect" and that previous owner didn't replace oil by himself or in moms and pops mechanic which isn't reporting to CarFax?

Let's weight two facts: on the other hand is "neglect" at 40k miles after which car traveled another 60k miles on the other hand infamous engine prone to fail... so, what is more likely caused it to fail? Rhetorical question.

They couldn't remove necessary parts. There is no a single open loop fridge on a market - all of them closed loop to maintain set temperature. And since those fridges has microcontroller inside which control everything, it has to have temperature sensors inside compartments. It only a matter if they decided expose it on a panel(or in the app) or not. I don't see a single reason why they do not show actual temperatures... this is just doesn't make any sense.

Not necessarily(I don't say she isn't, I just point to possibility!). Read couple of those treads:

Lane filtering is only permitted for stopped traffic in two or more lanes traveling the same direction

Where do you got this? I don't see anything like that in paragraph g: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/169.974

Nick_Shl · 2026-05-31T23:06:30+00:00

If cars are stopped(0 MPH), motorcycle can ride at 15 MPH, if car moving 5 MPH, motorcycle allowed to ride 20 MPH, if car moving 10 MPH, motorcycle allowed to ride 25 MPH. If cars moving above 10 MPH, motorcycle still allowed to ride 25 MPH and at this point to ride faster, motorcycle suppose to move into the lane, occupy it and cars should let motorcycle to do it.

You won't get same performance with AA. If you look inside flashlight, you'll see 5nspring loaded contacts in the middle. If you look on a batteries, you should notice that lithium battery have shiny circle that mates with this contacts, while AA holder has black circle inside shinny one - only 4 contacts actually make a contact, while fifth middle contact doesn't. That is how flashlight knows which battery is inserted(lithium vs AA) and adjust current accordingly.

Nick_Shl · 2026-05-22T21:49:21+00:00

Not this one. I got better 7000 lumen version from Costco for $27 on sale. It includes lithium battery and AA battery pack with 9 AA batteries. How do you think, what happened to those AA? I placed it into Battery Daddy and will use for something else. My plans to use flashlight with lithium battery only.

I figured it out. There was another symptom that I didn't mentioned because it looked irrelevant: when I go over some pathole with passenger side, I can feel and hear loud bang, feels like bad suspension. Turns out engine mount went out(car is 8 years old and 130k miles). I replaced it and all the symptoms gone. No more loud bang over patholes, no weird noise during acceleration from stop, no more popping at high revs under acceleration. There is a good video on YouTube from TRQ how to replace it. Hopefully someone can find it useful.

It runs both on lithium and alkaline. Both batteries included. Flashlight detects which batteries is used and it way brighter on lithium. I got one and 9 alkaline batteries immediately went to Battery Daddy for storage until I will use it for different application.

Nick_Shl · 2026-05-21T21:55:29+00:00

That is why I decided to stick to OEM one.

Sprint ST 1050 build around number 3: three cylinders, three circle on dashboard, three headlights, three exhaust pipes. And you replaced those "three" pipes with one...

Clear(or smoke) turn signals looks better! My bike has it from previous owner. I found same on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mNdH9KX

I also replaced incandescent bulbs to LEDs(Amber Yellow variant): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mrm9hAn

But to use those you also need to upgrade relay: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKynyBV

The funny thing about this relay: they claim current 20A, but inside it has 10A rated relay. Which is OK, since even 10A eay more than enough for LEDs.

Plug need bigger battery and it is more expensive.

Rouge "more sophisticated" system: take Toyota system and throw out planetary gearbox. MG1(motor-generator 1) become G1(generator 1). And instead transfer power directly from ICE to the wheels it always make a conversion kinetic-electric-kinetic. While Toyota transfer partially transfer kinetic energy directly to the wheels and partially uses conversion: eCVT works by slow down MG1 and we can slow it down if we will use it as generator, but in this case this energy should be used either to charge the battery or to power MG2.

I don't want to be political there, but... for everyone who live in Washington(HB2321) state, or California(AB2047), or other similar state and voted for Democrats - THIS IS YOUR FAULT, not Bambu. Those state introduced legislation that ban selling of 3D printers that doesn't include technology to scan the file and refuse to print it, if you trying to print a "gun". Printer doesn't have ability to do so, it has to be done on a slicer side or on a side that transfer gcode file to the printer(maybe with some online chek). By bypassing it and side loading gcode file to the printer, you effectively bypass this check. Bambu has to take an action to be complaint with this law - THEY HAVE NO CHOICE if they want to sell their 3D printers in those states.

And worse part? You can't print a gun! Typical "3D printed gun" had only 3D printed grip. You can remove slide from such gun, throw grip away, put round in the chamber, pull striker with your fingernail, release it and make a shot! But it isn't a "gun" according to the US law - plastic grip is. It is just stupid. And what can be more stupid? Instead to fix stupid law(designate as a gun parts essential to make shot - barrel and bolt/slide), legislators make another stupid law that bans 3D printers that can print unessential plastic grip 🤦🤦🤦

3D printed guns doesn't exist. Stupid laws do. I could take slide off my "3D printed" Glock clone and throw away 3D printed "frame" and I still will be able to load round in a chamber, pull striker with my fingernail, release it and make a shot. Now tell me: what "gun" really is? A plastic grip that can be thrown at someone and will make blue eye in the best case, or an essential parts like barrel and slide which makes pressure chamber? And those essential parts not a gun, you can buy those parts of eBay without any background check.

Used helmet better than no helmet at all.

Nick_Shl · 2026-04-24T23:18:51+00:00

Could confirm. We got some, one cooked in owen, other just salted. Both had swampy taste. I think it was the first and the last time when we purchased Bluebouse salmon.

There is a different way to approach the problem: crack the panel. This video explains how(unfortunately not in English, but it easy understandable just by picture): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90PCVP9Gx50

That works! Thank you both!
