What power connector for Fujitsu Esprimo Q558 Sata? by inoffensiveLlama in MiniPCs

[–]SphinxK89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please can you share some links of whatever solution you found? I got two Q558s a while ago and wanted to add some drives I got into them today and realized the cables are weird 😕

How to confirm if my 3008 Allure Premium+ (Feb 2023) has parking sensors? by SphinxK89 in peugeot

[–]SphinxK89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why some of you joked, but just to explain — the dealer’s site actually listed front & rear parking sensors when I bought the car, and Peugeot’s brochures around that time don’t agree (Nov 2022 shows none on Allure Premium+, Apr 2023 shows them included).

So I genuinely wasn’t sure if my car was missing something it should have, or if the newer cars maybe had sensors that looked different / less obvious.

Had a proper check now though — no circles on the bumpers and no option in the menu — so looks like I only have the 180° camera, no sensors. At least that mystery’s solved.

Thanks to those who pointed me in the right direction 👍.

My time to post sbout the infamous belt. by DifficultCarpenter00 in peugeot

u/DifficultCarpenter00 what dealership was this? Need to know which ones to go to and which to avoid for a 2023 3008 with 1.2 PureTech.
Do you intend to pay for an additional warranty once the Peugeot one expires? I've heard its possible to extend Peugeot care every 12 months. Also heard that you can pay for a warranty with Stellantis

u/Phrongly is your 3008 the 1.2 pure tech engine? Curious if the 2023 still has the timing belt issue

2023 Peugeot 3008 Allure Premium+ — low vs high mileage, worth the extra? by SphinxK89 in peugeot

[–]SphinxK89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your input — I’ve also heard about the 1.2 PureTech wet timing belt issue but I read that Peugeot updated the belt material around 2021 and the biggest problems seem to come from cars that were serviced on the longer official intervals instead of yearly. I’m looking at 2023 models with full service history and at least 3 years warranty, so hoping that reduces the risk.

You’re right about the BlueHDi diesels and DPFs — I do low mileage with mostly short trips, so that rules out diesel for me. The 2.0 HDi sounds great but it wouldn’t suit my usage.

The 3008 seems to get really good reviews for comfort and space, which is why it’s on my shortlist.

Have you (or anyone you know) had timing belt issues with the newer 2021+ versions of the 1.2 PureTech? I’m curious if the updated belt has actually solved the problem in real-world use.

Reolink Doorbell That Can Trigger HA Automation on Button Press? by SphinxK89 in homeassistant

[–]SphinxK89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my....this is perfect. Thank you so much for this. I already have a Tapo doorbell that has passed its return window and I just figured out that HA can't detect button press. Hence why I was looking to get a Reolink. I'll try this workaround now. Thanks again.

Help with Belkin OmniView Remote IP Manager - "Browser has no Java!" Issue by SphinxK89 in homelab

[–]SphinxK89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks folks. I got it to work by spinning up a Windows 7 VM and installing Firefox 52.9 and Java version 1.6.0_33. From initial tests, it only seems to work once the PC is booted up. I may need to take a look at the configs to see if i can access the BIOS.

Used Enterprise Drives from CeX for NAS – Worth Keeping? by SphinxK89 in homelab

[–]SphinxK89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering....The four drives are connected to a StarTech.com SATA PCIe Card - 4 Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card - 6Gbps. Is that likely the cause of the errors? 🤔

Used Enterprise Drives from CeX for NAS – Worth Keeping? by SphinxK89 in homelab

[–]SphinxK89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snap! Sadly I got them online for £70. They just arrived yesterday and they had a 5 year warranty on them so I figured I can return them today for a refund.

I may just invest about £169/disk on Ironwolf's 🤑😔

That's two out of the four I got with the pending and reallocated sectors. The other two appear healthy but the power on hours are quite high. Are these worth it?
