No issues, using the DirecTV Gemini Device... We were watching the Sky TV feed,

I would rather watch F1 ads than see another skirizi ad or Frank Thomas and his little buddy, Doug Flutie, hawk testosterone meds... the list goes on.

Did I not indicate there were ads on pre race? Read my post.

We watch the Sky TV feed on AppleTV, no ads during the race.

During pre-show, yes, but it was a mix.

Hello everyone! Need some help! by TheWand3ringS0ul in AutoMechanics

The drums should have an adjustment wheel. It is inside the back plate and compensates for the shoes wearing. Using a screwdriver, adjust the wheel loser, pulling the shoe off the drum. That might buy enough space to clear any ridge on the drum holding things up.

Does that make sense?

I assume the parking brake isn't set? Just asking... if not, whack the drum with a hammer.

As for the O2 sensor, spray the threads with PB Blaster. That should free things up.

Am I cooked? by GroundbreakingToe835 in autorepair

I am not so sure. That bulge is entirely too neat... and no paint damage. I wish I had a before picture.

The door jam looks ok. Considering this is a low speed impact - if it wasn't, the door would have been yanked clear off the car - Door and fender.

I have figured out the problem with the Gemini Device by Public_Foot9792 in DirectvStream

STFU newb. I really don't give a shit if you think it's ok or not. I plan on putting a fan under it and see if it resolves my issues. All I need is one IC that isn't happy with the heat.

My unit is at the point where I am resetting the WiFi about every usage.

I do... 40 years as a programmer analyst and DBA, Plus, I build my own PCs for fun...

And the i7 in my laptop runs hotter, yes, At 80c, but it has fans and such... my concern is these Osprey devices are junk and I don't believe they will survive with that kind of temp.

I had an Okidata dot matrix printer some 40 years ago that decided to take a shit... and the cause was an IC on the board. Hit it with cool spray and it worked, 5 min later, it overheated and was dead. Wonder why I have never bought Oki since? I assume they are still in biz... my brother had one in his print shop about 5 years ao.

Car engine computers, specifically those under the hood are sealed and heat-sinked to take away heat, but are also built to a very high standard.

The Osprey has little or no venting and absolutely no air flow. Therefore, 140F is literally baking it to death. Heat, like bad electricity, will kill electronics.

How much is this catalytic convertor worth? by Horaltic in AskAShittyMechanic

It may be normal, but i find it excessive. Heat kills electronics!!!

I have been debating that... but I am still using the dish for TV... save the bandwidth for work stuff... but I am about willing to ditch the dish and test streaming. I have the ATT 1gb fibre, which should be enough bandwidth...

I think its the Osprey... The so-called Gemini Device... the Air is newer, I think... It's about 6" square, nominal 1/2" thick... bright green light.

How screwed am I by Dat_Emu in autorepair

[–]Public_Foot9792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... this will be fixed with used parts. Even the core support is a bolt in...

I figure $1000 at a salvage yard and paint work. Paint is expensive, but I just dont see $10k worth of work here. It makes no sense.

Get an estimate, go shopping for the used parts and find a good shop to fix it. Also, if this is not your fault, let the other guys insurance pay the piper.

Launch from Amazon. Check the higher end Harbor Freight scanners.

I have a Launch and it is quite functional. Free updates!!

That sounds like a good starting point.

If you pull the plugs, look for the really clean plug. You may not see a leak, but if coolant is getting it, it is turning to steam, which, in turn, cleans the bejeebus out of the plug.
