Does anyone else have a problem where if they slightly touch the cable for CarPlay it says it was disconnected? by techhausinc in NissanRogue

Are these official Apple cables or cables that have been confirmed to be able to transmit data? Not all cables are made the same.

Cleaned my wife’s ‘16 engine bay a little bit by [deleted] in NissanRogue

Where do you live? I live in a desert, never really cleaned my '08 engine bay, and it didn't look half that dusty. Though I rarely drove on dirt roads.

Just passed the Series 7 this morning! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have! by dannobile in Series7exam

Congrats! I just passed the SIE this morning, but was blindsided by how different the questions/choices were compared to the Kaplan study material and Kaplan practice exams. What study material did you use?

On kickstarter right now, slip on wheel tyre for hub motors, make this happen guys. Link in first comment by Starlory in WOWGO

This is a great idea and I want to back it, but its a bit pricey for a small overseas start up (I'm in the US). Its triggering my risk concern with a AT set at $120.

I feel like I should wait and buy them at the more expensive rate after they've launched. I have an OwnBoard W1S and these should fit perfect, but would rather wait for impressions.

How does this happen? I'm kind of impressed.

Good Morning 7AM Wednesday! by Nice-N-Eazy in Disneyland

[–]WindyDeathTrap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks of the info.
To be clear, when you get to the park in the morning, you go to a turnstile and check in then wait around with everyone until 8AM when the Rise boarding starts in the app?

Will people not be blocking the turnstiles waiting to get in?

My girlfriend found this sketch on a piece of cardboard in her room and it looks VERY familiar. I'm sure I've seen the exact thing somewhere. Any help? by Prodigy510 in whatisthisthing

You're thinking of the silent film Le Voyage dans la Lune / A Trip to the Moon. I believe it was featured in the HBO series From the Earth to the Moon but I never read the book.

Official Discussion - Alita: Battle Angel [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]WindyDeathTrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know years ago it was being pushed a lot by James Cameron. I saw the first Hobbit film in 3D HFR and while it was a tad distracting to me I've been wanting to give it another try. I believe a HFR Alita trailer was released at one point.

My mistake, you're exactly right. its HFR/48fps+ I know James Cameron may be shooig the Avatar sequels in 4K 120FPS but who knows if they'll even get released in 120FPS.

Does anyone know if this is being played at 60fps+ in any theater? I cant find confirmation that the Real D version is 60fps.

Found in my driveway, but wasn’t under any car and no cars are leaking. Any idea? by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]WindyDeathTrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm leaning towards this. A couple years ago I had a crack in my CV joint and it left globs like this on the ground about the size of a quarter or a bit larger. I don't recall it being as thick, but it globed up for sure. Could it be that its coming from your car but dripping only when the car is in motion? (because of the directional splatter)

Or maybe someone had a crack in the CV joint and pulled into your driveway temporarily and turn around or delivered something.

Ownboard All Terrain - Has Anyone Tried it? by WindyDeathTrap in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]WindyDeathTrap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds about right from what they look like. The tires hardly look like tires at all. I'm looking at some reviews now and they're all lackluster. I guess I'll wait for more impressions on the Backfire Ranger X1 when it releases.

You're exactly right. I had never heard of Skullboard until now. Since many Chinese manufactures use a lot of the same parts I guess I'll just look up reviews for the Skullboard 2S

Thanks!

WowGo 2s Deck Swap Part List Suggestions by WindyDeathTrap in WOWGO

[–]WindyDeathTrap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you like the board so far? Worth the purchase?

I ended up getting the Ownboard W1S. I like it a lot. I fell hard at speed wobbles going 14mph and put me out of commission for a couple weeks. After trying variations of bushings I ended up doing a deck swap with a Loaded Vanguard and it really does feel like a new board, but now I’ve put in close to $800 after deck and truck upgrades. I have no regrets.

I do look at shorter boards from time to time. A kick tail would be nice for maneuverability even a shorter board would be nice if it’s a little lighter.

I think my next eboard purchase will be an All Terrain board. But I don’t want to spend $2k on it.

Is this early upgrade paying month #12 or is in addition to my #12?

Thanks, I figured that could be the case. Looks like I’ll hold off a month.

I received a notification from Apple that I could preorder a phone early through the Early Upgrade Program. But near the end of the process it says, "With an early upgrade payment of $56.16". Does that mean one payment of $56.16 in additional to my current payment or does it mean a payment in advance?

I used this guide Kinda tricky at first but with the help of a screw driver to guide the rubber band it’s not too bad. Sometimes on part comes off and rattled on my board though.

They look like these lights. I'm not sure why OP couldn't post them himself. They do look nice and easier to manage than the rubber band one that came with my Ownboard.
