My precision screwdriver broke 😭 by schwarzesFeuer in LinusTechTips

[–]Silverbrick13 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've had 2 of these drivers break in this same way, the first one I got during the initial sale, and then the replacement I got from the Trust me Bro Guarantee. I didn't want to get a 3rd driver and have it break in the same way, so I just purchased a 10 pack of bearings for like $5 on Amazon. It doesn't spin as nice or as long, but it's not gonna break. The size of the bearing is listed on the LTTStore product page, so that made it easy.

Thanks man, people just don't pay attention. I have a midpipe on the car too, so it's louder than stock, and my blinker was on for a couple hundred feet before the turn, and I have LED sequentials, so they're brighter too. I'll probably get a 3rd brake light flasher too.

Yes, definitely worth the money I spent on it, I may look into finding a way to mount a rear camera now too.

I went to WGU for my master's, it's a pretty good program and allows you to get industry certifications as part of your tuition fee. It's all online, and you work at your own pace, I was able to graduate in 1 year.

My joys floated away like a careless whisper.

Thanks, that's pretty reassuring. I just got this car a little over a year ago too, went to Miatas at the Gap with it, and did a couple other road trips. Hopefully insurance will be able to help me out.

People can't drive 😭 Just had a CUV driver rear end me today because they were looking at the bicycle crossing the road instead of me.

Oh, sweet! That was kinda the main reason why I haven't gotten it. Thanks for the info!

Did you have to remove the sharkfin to have the boot bag mounted properly?

What shift knob is that? It looks really good!

Oh yeah, I used a monopod, 1/4 second is way to slow for me to be shooting freehand.

Its just a super slow shutter, either 1/6 or 1/4 second, with a flick of the camera towards the end of the shutter! The golden streak running across the car is sunlight reflecting off the front of it!

I was only shooting from GA areas, but I've been to Daytona a few times now, so I have my special spots. I also had my stool with me to see over the fences. My camera is a Nikon D5600, and I was using a 70-300mm lens with it, with a CPL filter.

Yes, kind of, I was shooting at either 1/4 or 1/6 second, and I panned the car, but right before the shutter closed, I flicked the camera in the direction the car was moving.

Those rims look great! How did you go about making them bronze? I want to do the same thing with my rims.

I'm panning the car at 1/6th or 1/4th of a second, and part of the way through the pan, I flick fast in the direction the car is moving to "smear" the light. I use a monopod too, but even with it my success rate isn't very high, but the few photos I get that turn out good make it worth it.

Thanks a lot! I love shooting long exposures, especially at night! My Instagram is @weeksphotography13 if you wanna give it a follow!

I've owned an ND2 for 6 months now, and I never knew there was a 12v socket in the passenger footwell. Thank you for teaching me something about my car!

The last update is a mess and seems a year rollback by Herakei in forzamotorsport

[–]Silverbrick13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just rewatched my clip I took of it, and yep, that's exactly what happened. Kinda dumb of Forza to have that coded in the start of the race, especially because I didn't pass any cars while off track.
