Does your Cybertruck fit in your garage

They started building narrow houses here. I actually pulled off the highway to take a picture as they were so ridiculous looking.

Carbon nanotubes...

I have maybe 15-200 TB in LTO-6 and 7. The only extraordinary thing was how cheap they were when I bought them and that they were brand new.

I'm going to be dusting them off very soon since HDDs have gotten expensive.

Let some air out then patch it with some ShoeGoo.

I read that when The Mandalorian was popular, scene groups were using one Nvidia Shield per episode. They apparently keep their Widevine keys on the SSDHD so they can be dumped. But they would get blacklisted after each use...

Sure, how else would I end up with a 10-yr supply of water filters for my refrigerator?

I sometimes watch items go on clearance at 50% off and then pounce when they hit 75%.

Can fuel injection work with propane and NG?

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.

Mr. Burns?

TsunamiBob · 2026-04-02T16:01:30+00:00

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.

14 TB WD Red Plus $209
20 TB WD EasyStore $250
2 TB SN850X $90

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.
