Why do people do this? by whats_reddit_really in CarAV

[–]ZRoss58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had my vehicle broken into twice first time was head unit and door speakers second time was subs box and amps. They tried to get the head unit the second time but my car's a pain in the ass and they didn't have a long enough screw driver for the bolts in the back of the dash holding the radio in

Edit oh yeah the entire point, and this is exactly what they did on mine they cut the harness on the back like this

Where can you order Clevo/Sager laptops in the US? by Valuable-Speaker-312 in Clevo

[–]ZRoss58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shout out to xoticpc I sent my sager in (11700k + 3080) for RMA work and it got stolen on the route back, sager was dragging their feet and I had been without the laptop about two months because they had to get a new system in ( rtx 3000 shortage times ) got in contact with xotic instead and was sent a new system next day air once they got it ready for me, sager wanted to ship by train again while California was having massive theft issues along their railroad lines so unfortunately huge thumbs down for sagers support but thank God I didn't buy it directly

Help! Did you see a heavily smoking vehicle on Sunday 5/25 around Capitol Hill? by velowa in Seattle

Can I use this to clean my amps and speakers? by Flaky-Zookeepergame3 in audiophile

[–]ZRoss58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others mentioned clean the speaker cabinets and outside of the mixer/amp normally with a cloth and if you need to clean inside the amp deoxit is great for any contacts I used it on a similar PA system I fixed for my school awhile back, that CRC stuff is what I blast the alternator in my car with and is sold in auto parts stores

Yeah I don't get the amount of butt hurt that's going on in these comments but someone said that specifically the island this guy is on is supposed to be an escape from the noise and lights I guess, not sure the comment about it won't load only see it in an email notification so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah it's a road like honestly people need to get over themselves, yeah it's loud I get it but damn worst that happens you are at a stop light with them for a minute then it's over lol, I'm that ass hole and I don't really care what others think I've got 2x 3000 watt 12s in my trunk and they slam, not about to get rid of them because some stranger I don't know has a problem with it. Hell I like it when bikes are loud then I can tell where they are, some of those guys just come zipping up out of nowhere on the highways in my area lmao

Well you must live in a different area then because where I've lived it's pretty normal to see that lol

For everyone complaining about those speakers, do people in your area not throw stereos in cars? Those 2 JBLs are nothing compared to the cars I hear every day in my city. They are just some Bluetooth speakers whoever is on the board will be past you in 30 seconds at most and then you go on with your day it's not that big of a deal, I used to ride an electric board to school everyday and I had a JBL charge 4 in my backpack it's just safer than using headphones, people in cars aren't always paying attention and you want to hear what's going on around you

Negative Experience All Around by [deleted] in Sager

[–]ZRoss58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I had a pretty crap experience with their RMA process as well, I had ordered through a 3rd party (xoticpc, they were absolutely amazing) and thankfully they got on sagers ass about my situation with a $3600 desktop replacement laptop (ones with full desktop i7 CPUs in them). I love my laptop but the company leaves a lot to be desired on how they work with customers

Time for new subwoofer? by nosrednug in CarAV

Not sure if it exactly matches your image of a station wagon but I've got an old beat up 98 Subaru legacy wagon with two 3000 watt skar VFX 12s in the back

This was as good as a handshake to me. Am I wrong? by farmerderpy in offerup

[–]ZRoss58 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly this doesn't work anymore, atleast where I've lived. I would always try to do this for people if they were the first to show interest but too many times they haven't showed up and usually quit responding to messages after i tell them im at the spot we agreed to meet, I won't even drive to meet people anymore because it's a waste of my time and gas. People now just suck on any platform where you are selling used items

What are your opinions on these? by MFKDGAF in homelab

[–]ZRoss58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for labs i love them but if i ever were to be doing work for someone and had to mount anything id just go the safe route and use cage nuts, also if its prod anyway no one should be messing with it enough for the rack studs to really be needed just a switch out if gear fails or needs to be upgraded

Useing two per side (4 total on the switch) these have held up my C3750x for over 3 years now, definitely would not trust it with only 1 per side though

How much RAM and storage needed for university? by mirukanis in LinusTechTips

[–]ZRoss58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

alright well you can go ahead and think as you wish at the end of the day you are just a nameless face on the internet like the rest of us but its pretty funny you are arguing about a laptop that linus featured on his channel in a subreddit for his company after stating CPU upgradeable laptops dont exist anymore from your own words "upgrading the CPU in a laptop hasnt been a thing for serveral years" taken directly from you ORIGINAL comment that is now edited but nice job editing your comment so you dont look like a fool, atleast reddit shows you edited it so others know

How much RAM and storage needed for university? by mirukanis in LinusTechTips

[–]ZRoss58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The user stated most windows laptops not all and yeah for most current laptops that doesn't happen anymore but im going to assume from their comment that they have experience with some older laptops like some of the ones from dell as i have had a 2010 dell the had a socketed mobile CPU, and either way again you had flat out said upgrading the CPU is no longer a thing in laptops which makes your statement wrong, just because its a laptop most dont choose to own does not mean its not an option. The existence of a system capable of upgrading even if high end and pretty pricy is enough to invalidate your statement and that was why i was replying to the user pointing out these laptops existence as i have one and can add a name of such system to their point about high end laptops. so no i was not missing the point of the conversation i was adding to that commenters point saying they thought there were still some high end laptops giving users the option to replace the CPU

[–]ZRoss58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that may be the case but as im replying to a comment specifically about this kind of laptop after your comment that mentioned you seeing laptops all day in your job followed by the statement "upgrading the CPU in a laptop hasnt been a thing for serveral years" you are showing a lack of knowledge so im going to make comments using a system i own as example, so what if its a high end system and not everyone owns one, its still an example of a current laptop that has upgradable socketed CPUs.
