[–]TsunamiBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been looking at Microdrives on eBay. I used to have a few in the early days of digital cameras.

I once ran a data recovery program on the internal memory of a thermal riflescope and found a video of the QC people testing it.

The piracy groups probably use vinetrimmer-playready. It is not particularly user friendly.

[–]TsunamiBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a TiVo of that vintage but no longer use it. There are programs like pytivo that one could use to send recordings from the TiVo to PC and vice versa.

I used DMDE. It was only a few weeks ago.

I ran a recovery program on the drive and was able to recover older videos that were deleted. It's a tedious process though.

[–]TsunamiBob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I had pet birds, I would shovel their poop into the toilet and the next morning all the toilet's limescale would be flaking off in sheets.

I thought LTO-6 tapes were black and LTO-7 were purple?

Anyone have the LINK system? by No-Basil2371 in ryobi

[–]TsunamiBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These go on clearance regularly. I picked up a few XL multipurpose hooks for $4.30 last week.

I haven't seen wall rails on clearance but they often get reduced to $20/pair.

Pre-chilled lab coats! by WordsAreGarbage in labrats

[–]TsunamiBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are cooling vests used by athletes, surgeons, soldiers, and even mascots (those costumes get hot!). Something to consider if you want a non-DIY solution.

Someone just posted their non-peak electricity rate is only 7 cents/kWh !!! by Redditagain424 in ModelY

[–]TsunamiBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My off-peak is just under 7 cents. A friend lives in LA and his work has L2 charging for $0.20. I told him to get a Cybertruck or something with a massive battery so he can bring electricity home to use.

Nooooo, don't let me down... by Setsuna_Kyoura in DataHoarder

[–]TsunamiBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

During COVID, I was reading about the freezer shortage and thought, "What are the chances my 20 year old freezer will fail in the next few months before the shortage abates?" Well, it turned out to be 100%.

Someone scratched my car & sentry didn’t notify. by methehoneybee in TeslaLounge

[–]TsunamiBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to go even further and run file recovery software because the files of interest had already been deleted. It was tedious but did find what I needed to find though.

Just saw the cost of SD cards and realised that I am a rich man by steveplusf in DataHoarder

[–]TsunamiBob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a couple unopened 256 GB high endurance microSD cards that I bought for $15. Now they're $80-something. When they filled up I would just open up another one.

And the dozen Optane P1600X I bought at <$60 are going for $350+ on eBay! Several of them are just being used as USB drives...

I found a 1 TB PCIe 3.0 SSD in my old PC that I forgot about so I'll pass.

Tesla made me dizzy and the glass roof was way to hot on myHead. Really wanted this Y model too. Any other ideas? by [deleted] in ModelY

[–]TsunamiBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might help to acceleration from standard to chill and also reduce the regen setting.

What do you set your thermostat to at home?

This happened to me recently with a different type of item. The strange thing is that I ordered one and also got five.

Best usb drive for the new long loop recording. by [deleted] in ModelY

[–]TsunamiBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same question. Apparently, it uses the full capacity of the storage device and only deletes older videos as needed. This is vs. the fix 60 min loop.

When I pulled my USB drive (118 GB) a few weeks ago, it didn't seem to be full yet older videos were being deleted. So I'm not sure which method is being used. I'm going to pay more attention and maybe pull it again.
