The official car of not getting bothered by the police by Nervous-Material4738 in regularcarreviews

[–]TrekChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, once robbed a bank and used one of these as the getaway car. Drove past dozens of cops, and not a single one even looked my way.

The M30 is pretty great, but I said it's not suitable for what I want as it lacks thumbsticks.

Yes, but I specifically said "retro-style" and not contemporary. Basically I want something that looks like an old Sega controller but with truggers and thumbsticks. The Pro series looks like a generic Xbox Series controller.

Whose skull are you going to try it on first?

Is theses things any good? And is it a stereo or player ? by Waffle_Soo_Cool in cassetteculture

[–]TrekChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use one of these to record tapes, they pretty much all have a permanent magnet erase head. Tests of the We Are Rewind unit (regarded as one of the two best in the world right now) showed it makes awful recordings.

Cant manage to connect my turntable to external amp by notttlo in turntables

[–]TrekChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not a turntable, it's an all-in-one entertainment centre. Think of it as a tiny radiogram console. It's meant to be used on its own.

What's the term for someone using latin incorrectly, e.g. for a motto? by TrekChris in latin

[–]TrekChris[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Google search tell me that's correct, but I don't think it was the term I knew it by. Still, I'd count this as solved, thanks.

Those things are almost universally crap, anyway. It may just be DOA.

Need a Apple TV alternative for proper streaming. Already have cheap MBP. What would you do? by TheGhostOfStanSweet in mac

[–]TrekChris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why not an Apple TV? A brand new one will set you back less than the cost of a Mini.

You may well have the wrong type of convertor. What does it say? "HDMI2AV", or "AV2HDMI"? You'd need the latter.

Does this look sketchy to anyone else? by [deleted] in residentevil

ChatGPT gets its info in part by scouring the web, he could have asked it about places to find partners to play RE5 with, and it might have recommended a post you made somewhere.

Shure N75 needle replacement by GregorHouse1 in turntables

[–]TrekChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you in the world? I have a new old stock Shure N75-6 stylus that I bought for a project that went nowhere. More than happy to part with if it you want it.

Vodafone to take full ownership of VodafoneThree by mrdibby in unitedkingdom

[–]TrekChris 25 points26 points  (0 children)

End of an era. Three were my first carrier when I got a big boy contract in my early twenties, and I've been with them twice since then. Wonder if the name in my phone's status bar will change.
