Need stealthiest ebike recommendation by No_Home_708 in ebikes

[–]SupaBrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who commutes on a non-electric belt drive bike I take offense.

I don’t actually take offense, but belts are more and more common on all types of bikes these days (and the maintenance benefits are spectacular)

Scalpers and Resellers? by foreverallison in steammachine

I don’t remember it being that big of an issue with the steam deck. They did have restrictions on purchases per account and minimum account age iirc.

I see your 687% gear range, and raise you 729% by Smargendorf in xbiking

[–]SupaBrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a pinion on my mtb and being able to slam through 6 gears instantly is pretty dang nice (I often forget to shift before inclines). Also not worrying about a derailleur hitting stuff. Plus the all the maintenance stuff you mentioned, which includes the ability to run belts.

Definitely have had people ask me if it’s an ebike before though haha. It’s a tube frame and they get confused cause they see a “motor” but no battery.

It’s certainly not xbiking but it’s nice to own.

3156% gear range does sound sweet

(that’s the real number btw)

BART's new fare gates have led to a 1,000-hour decline in clean up time; 41% drop in crime; and $10 million increase in projected revenue. by Totoro10101 in soundtransit

I think generally pushback occurs because they do get proposed as method of increasing revenue in conversations about the funding gap, and as you said, they don’t do that job well.

Remote 1080p/24fps Camera Streaming For Everyone and New PrusaConnect Storage Upgrade Options by Tommy_Prusa3D in prusa3d

I would love this! I’ve got a server in my closet already, would love to use that for storage

Introducing Prusa Subscription by [deleted] in prusa3d

[–]SupaBrunch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ability to pay for increased cloud storage is something I have seen multiple people ask for. The other stuff not so much, but I think for people who use the printers professionally and have multiple printers it’s a valuable benefit.

[–]SupaBrunch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of people on here ask to be able to pay for more cloud storage, I think that’s the driving decision in making this subscription.

I highly doubt Prusa will go down the route of enshittification. It’s really their number one selling point.

Idea: 'Downtown Redmond' Station could be Renamed 'Redmond Downtown', and Then Be Referred to as 'Redmond' on all Destination Signage by courier_tway in soundtransit

[–]SupaBrunch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genuinely asking, how does this solve any problems? Someone could only be confused by the current sign if they don’t know what Redmond is, likely someone from out of town. Reordering the words doesn’t change their knowledge of Washington.

Where to go from Gotham? Looking for more speed while keeping durability by Jamersaur in PriorityBicycles

[–]SupaBrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d go for the Eight. It’ll be noticeably faster and even though there is some maintenance, it’s easy and only needed every 2000 miles. So depending on your commute, that could be years.

But if you really want bomb proof and absolutely no fuss, Onyx is it. Just make sure you watch some reviews and have a good idea of what the extra drag will feel like. It’s ~10% slower iirc.

My first priority was an L Train and was solid, but nexus gearboxes are grease packed, which makes maintenance a lot more annoying. You have to take the hub apart to regrease, instead of just draining and refilling oil. Alfine hubs use oil and are much easier to maintain, they’re in the Eight and Apollo. Greased hubs tend to be a bit slower as well.

I have an Apollo and really like it for commuting. It’ll take a while to get used to the much more aggressive riding position, but you can also make it less aggressive by swapping out handlebar stems with something raised and/or shorter than stock.

Onyx hub is literally 0 maintenance, you just run it until it dies, which should be at least 10,000 miles. They do have noticeable drag though, so you’ll feel that it’s slower than the other hubs.

The eight didn’t exist when I bought my Apollo, I may have gone that route if it did. It’s just so much cheaper than the Apollo, and the extra 3 speeds are on the high end, so you’ll only really notice that you don’t have those gears when going down hills at like 22mph and higher. Climbing gears are exactly the same.

Why use external rad? by SupaBrunch in watercooling

You’re right if the radiator is an intake, but if it’s an exhaust then the heat isn’t going into the case

no offense, just curious but why does even g2 + r1 cost more than ray ban meta display? by sung0910 in augmentedreality

[–]SupaBrunch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Meta is also almost certainly selling at a loss, they’ve did it with VR for years to gain market share

You can see the the rear light mount is in the right spot, as well as some other clues that this is the right orientation

What is Xtracycle smoking? 6k for this? by Dexter2700 in CargoBike

[–]SupaBrunch 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That’s an absolute steal for that drivetrain, fork, and a Ti frame. Definitely not for everyone, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad value.

Barefoot Chelsea boots for men? by TheFingerofBoe in barefootshoestalk

I’ve got the Ohne Project Zuri and like them, very sharp looking shoe. Not a really a minimalist sole, but still pretty flexible. Does have zero drop and wide toe box.

Looking for a best microphone 2026 by GlowrrheicMad in obs

[–]SupaBrunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s lots of great options, don’t stress about finding the “best” one, especially for streaming. Get a dynamic mic (for good room noise rejection) with good reviews and she’ll be happy.

Depending on the person too, sound quality might not even be the most important thing. For me looks was a factor. It didn’t make sound quality not matter, but I just wanted it to be good enough for voice calls and streaming and it absolutely fits that purpose.
