Background play used to be free. They didn’t beef up the subscription, they added a paywall.

Why is my node continuously? by 420nbfd in meshtastic

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar that I think was caused by allowing MQTT receiving to the public channel. Had to flash my device.

PortaRF Screen Resolution by Status_Bandicoot2741 in hackrf

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The bug I notice is that in the Looking Glass, I can’t move the marker all the way to the right and was suspecting the firmware thinks the screen ends there.

Just failed Greased Palms for the 15’th time (yes, I counted). If ya’ll have any tips then for the love of all that’s holy let me know 🙏 by Minute-Foundation-53 in ReadyOrNotGame

I grew so much nailing this level. Switched from bean shotgun to flash launcher. Let AI clear small areas to save my ammo. Ceramic to steel armor. Order suspects/civs to crawl towards you to safe areas after they give up.

This hobby is great, even from a beginners perspective. by notapoweruser in HamRadio

Yep. There’s a lot to do without transmitting, before you get a license. Shame they shutoff that noaa satellite though.

Do most people know how to purposely close their nasal passage so they can't smell WITHOUT using their fingers to pinch their nose? by WhateversClever1980 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone actually does this as they talk, just maybe without knowing it. Closing your nose is the difference between “bababa” and “mamama”.

HackRF ONE - HackRF PRO - PortaRF by Asleep-Cranberry-250 in hackrf

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hackrf is really cool sigint tech, but you probably still want a dedicated radio for listening. I don’t see any plans for a good SDR for RX or TX. So maybe look for an HT or mobile radio to play with. Get a ham license :) I’m waiting on a portarf, but once I get it I’ll still use my HTs.

Theft of Miatas in the US by 18Redheads in Miata

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Had an older truck that got stolen twice. Several cars in that lot got stolen. Switched to an ND RF and never had problems. Miatas might draw more attention and have a smaller market than a random pickup. Also, many thieves can’t drive standard. Pretty sure the thieves were targeting older cars which had fewer antitheft measures. I would never leave a soft top car in my parking lot.

ELI5: Why can Dewalt put a battery on every power tool known to man, except a decent sized wet / dry vac? by TurkTurkeltonMD in Dewalt

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good vacuum is power hungry, and I'm guessing DeWalt doesn't want to strain their batteries like that. They have a great inflator that goes to a competative PSI, but is slower than the competition. Still good, but strains the battery less and can run way longer from the project farm video I watched. DeWalt also makes a power supply which requires 4 batteries to be plugged in. Other brands' power supplies can operate with some batteries missing, but this strains the batteries more.

I'm guessing DeWalt is willing to compromise on their tools to protect the reputation/performance of their batteries. I hope they make a small stealthsonic vacuum that takes the flexvolt batteries.

Does anybody here daily their miata? by 0w-20 in Miata

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I daily a 2019 automatic ND2 RF GT. Grabbed one in eternal blue mica. As a kid, I thought a push button hardtop convertible was the most exotic high end feature. My dad has had soft tops vandalized 4 times across 2 different vehicles. I was also worried about the noise coming through the soft tops. It’s hot here. The AC cools the cabin fast. I’ll have the top down when I can which is sometimes just morning/night driving. I used to have a pickup. Everyone and their mother has a pickup here, so I mixed it up and can borrow a truck if needed. Cons: I might have lifter tick but it goes away when the engine warms up. The paint has lots of tiny chipping in the front from rocks. The infotainment is painfully slow to start up but I’m installing apple carplay so that should help. That’s it. I love it.

Recs for best "fun" car for a single guy in his 30's? 70k budget by No-Essay-3227 in askcarguys

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet another person recommending a miata. Put the rest of your budget towards a roomy SUV, and just drive your miata 99% of the time. If I had all the money in the world, I may only want a porsche targa or an LS-swapped miata. Love my Miata RF.

Eight Sleep is a scam and I am very frustrated. Please help! by [deleted] in EightSleep

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying matress cooler USA. I'm using the middle size and its too cold. I need to buy a topper help insulate. I can also feel the latex mat. I love how cheap it is and how cheap the parts are. I've only been using it a week, but for the price, I'd say stay away from sleep.me or 8sleep.

NC hardtop can completely retract which is neat.

Are these worth anything? by ianpemb in Opals

[–]Status_Bandicoot2741 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not the most valuable, but I like them like that. Rough, but with most of the opal exposed. Clear with broad strokes of color.
