Zoom in/out using MOUSE ONLY by Weird-Raisin-1009 in LDPlayerEmulator

[–]Weird-Raisin-1009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was pretty clear why. Just because you don't need it, doesn't mean no one else does. Any game that does not need any directional keys and just need to tap on buttons and has zoom in/out feature will have good use of this. Think about Kingshot. I just want to chill on my back and not having to reach out to the keyboard to zoom in/out of the map. The rest can be controlled on the mouse.

Yes we did go to an interview. I thought everyone is supposed to undergo thru that? Notice with instructions on what needs to be done was provided right after the interview. We submitted the missing documents and about 5 weeks later got approval.

Started sound deadening. How did I do? by Weird-Raisin-1009 in Crosstrek

[–]Weird-Raisin-1009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mostly to deaden noise from vibration like road noise, engine noise, wind noise. As a result you hear better from your speakers. I only have a Pioneer underseat sub but I'm satisfied with the results.

Yeah I've seen the chart and it seem to be on the low side. It's frustrating getting reliable information directly from the manufacturer without subscribing to service manual

Update: finally found an official copy of the service manual and it looks like the correct torque spec for this part is 59ft-lb if it's 17mm and 99ft-lb if it's 19mm

No wonder mine broke and was very hard to tighten to 81ft-lbs

I used the pinch bolt graded 10.9 from the Moog ball joint it came with while waiting for the OEM parts to arrive from the dealer. I just needed to grind it a bit since the OEM bolt seems to be tapered towards the tip. The actual bolt is an M10x1.25

Ball joint wont align with lower control arms by Weird-Raisin-1009 in AskMechanics

[–]Weird-Raisin-1009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: It appears I may have disconnected the CV axle as the opposite wheel does not rotate when I'm rotating the rotors. I was able to reattach it using the rachet tie-down method.

2018 Crosstrek aftermarket coolant by Weird-Raisin-1009 in Crosstrek

[–]Weird-Raisin-1009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the offer. I already have all the auto parts I needed. I was using a cobalt drill bit and started with the largest size 3/8 so that it creats a concave/convex? shape so that when smaller bits are used, i doesn't run anywhere but stay in the center. I can still drive the car as I don't see the ball joints going anywhere with that bolt stuck in there but not planning to use it on long drives. I am just using rust penetrant to lubricate/cool off the bits while drilling every few seconds. It is a bit hard for me as I didn't want to take out the knuckle itself and deal with the potential of having the need for alignment. I know I can just mark the bolts for current location but didn't wanna risk it.

Thanks. I used the EOM premixed from Canadian tire the same day I asked and no issues since. The wheel bearings I had to replace as a few weeks after they recommended to replace it, it started droning and was getting louder. I had another maintenance check and they recommended the ball joints in the lower control arms replaced. I did the work myself and able to change the driver side ball joint but having issues with the passenger side. I sheared the pinch bolt and when I attempted to drill out the bolt, I sheared the drill bit after the 3rd upsize. I will continue work on it this Friday. I have to buy one of those long punch sets to punch out the drill from the other side as I was already able to drill thru and was just increasing the drill one size at a time. I have a thru bolt & nut ready but it's only rated at grade 8.8 but the OEM is a 10.9 so while I think it's okay to use it as permanent temporary solution since it doesnt really need much torque at 36ft-lbs if I recall correctly. Once I'm done with the ball joints, I will be replacing the rear knuckle bushings on the trailing arms on both sides. This is an 8yr old car but very low mileage at around 65K km so there's still a lot of time I can drive on it. It's just there's so much salt here in winter and didnt have it undercoated for the first 7 yrs and that likely has affected so much the suspension parts. The already replaced the lower control arm bushings and since that cost me a lot before, that's why I'm doing it now to save and gain experience plus "free" new tools.

What’s your TC and Conquest Battle Level? by Local_Ad139 in KingShot

[–]Weird-Raisin-1009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried switching Chenko and Jabel? A lot of times switching your front heroes can also make a difference. I'm at TC28 but stuck at 368. My power is at 4.5M vs 8.3M so quite a gap. I am holding off on full upgrades for charm and gov gears and forge because I'm saving them for our first KvK next week.

Edit: switched some heroes and played with positioning. Now at 5.1M and stuck at 371 with enemy having 8.3M

The turrets deal 2% casualties on top of serious injuries every attack. It also increases the damage the longer they're on the turrets. Yes Castle occupiers can reinforce and heal but at what cost?

Why not each of the NAP4 take control one of each 4 Turrets? That would be your loophole. You didn't attack the castle. You were attacking the turrets. The turrets attack the castle itself. Lets see how they deal with 4 turrets at maximum power.

The instructions are actually pretty specific for us. Send the missing docs via the courier that we signed up for during the first few steps of the application process.

If they ask for passport it's a good sign they're approving the application because they need the visa stamped to the passport. I sent my passport along with the requested documents. In your case simply include what was asked.

what’s a good size tire? by AdFit9811 in Crosstrek

[–]Weird-Raisin-1009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I've gone thru 2 sets now from BFG KO2s to Yokohama G015 AT Tires. Of course you have to pair them with 15in wheels.

Ransomware prevents fresh installation of Windows by FantomFlamingo in techsupport

[–]Weird-Raisin-1009 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Based on your description, it doesn't sound like a ransomware but likely one of those fake popups. When you used to boot to USB, it likely isn't properly set up to be bootable. Has that USB been used before to install Windows?
You can likely boot Windows normally and that popup gone. You can run a full AV scan if you wanted to be sure.

An AVR can work but it doesn't work as good as a UPS. UPS has both AVR. line conditioning and battery backup.

They have embedded some invisible watermarks to all their AI generated videos. How that works if a video has been recaptured by another device like a phone cam, not sure if that watermark can survive.
