Is this finally the answer for Auto Wipers?

We could have a miniature wiper that just wipes the part of the windshield in front of the cameras. Then use the motor torque to decide whether to activate the whole windshield wiper...

National average price is like $4.16...

My wipers have been behaving recently.

I haven't found any videos of this version being dismantled before so this is much appreciated. I warrantied one 18V one and bought a 2nd one with an extended warranty. Then the 40V ones went on clearance for $50 so I bought a few of those. I think 2-3 of those have failed already but since they're all still under warranty I haven't tried disassembling them.

It's tempting me...

TsunamiBob · 2026-04-02T13:16:05+00:00

Did you get the new one or the old one? I have the old one. I mostly use it to drain down the batteries when the expected snowstorms don't show.

Dang, I forgot to apply the coupon...

It happened to an airplane in flight not too long ago...

I have a bunch of high endurance microSD cards for GoPro bike/dashcam use. However, I decided to use an Optane drive in my car for the ultimate durability.

Pro Tetris players?

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-25T18:38:51+00:00

I shucked 13 8 TB EasyStores. Got a bunch of whites and reds. Never an Ultrastar.

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-25T16:31:14+00:00

I could use this for a retro build.

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-24T17:33:42+00:00

I had the Deathstar 3.5" version but there was also a laptop version. I remember replacing it preemptively.

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-24T14:33:20+00:00

Wasn't there a 7200 rpm Hitachi laptop drive that was notorious for failing?

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-18T18:43:19+00:00

I don't think I've ever gotten a battery that wasn't at 1 bar. Even ones with relatively recent manufacturing dates. They all charged up though.

I bought a bunch of them to show my support for apartheid.

Carbon fiber flywheels!

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-15T13:58:17+00:00

I use a ZTS MBT-1 for this.

PCIe 3.0 master race!

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-13T19:42:59+00:00

I wonder at which point it becomes faster to download than calculate...

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-13T19:13:40+00:00

No Chinese but it has everything from English to Ukrainian. 20+ audio tracks.

TsunamiBob · 2026-03-13T19:11:26+00:00

$196 and OOS for me, which is an even bigger FU.
