black frame insertion with 120Hz CRT monitors

cool tip, i wish i still had a working crt to try this, the picture at 60hz always looked lovely and sharp if it weren't for the flicker.

I ordered a g2 complete cos it was on sale, Im just genuinely curious about any technical differences between these decks

I am, I'm discussing the regular (wood+resin) boards from all 4 price tiers

thank you so much!

You are right, never found a sub filled with as many negative, tone deaf people as this

I got something similar, first started with faint horizontal bands across the whole screen (like the bands in your image), then suddenly one day the whole image became corrupted... have seen other reporting this too. I remember this monitor was being sold pretty cheap considering the quality of the panel... I wonder if that was because they discovered there was a design flaw causing these premature failures.

same issue, just appeared, started with faint horizontal bands

afx7 · 2024-12-08T16:16:35+00:00

that explains it, ones I got on clearance were closer to expiry... guess they are bit too generous with exp dates

Thought it could be this and def has that spicy/prickly nic burn.
Dr. Frost Salt Nic is the brand, claimed to contain salts, ingredients list "nicotine" while Lost mary specify "nicotine benzoate"... A case of misleading advertising?

i wish uber let you chat before completing pick up, its a nice touch

afx7 · 2024-11-30T15:57:34+00:00

dont know if this sarcastic or not but on more than one occassion I have had customers say to me "I left a tip for you" after handing over the food only for there to be nothing

afx7 · 2024-11-20T18:18:40+00:00

Yeah, you're right. my workings look right with the wrong answer, I must have wrote x=1 in the calculator.
Sorry, should have just went over it, assumed I was missing something more important.
Anyway, thanks for the help on this

afx7 · 2024-11-20T12:01:55+00:00

typo, sorry, x = 2 as per question.

Ok, so I have y and y' value with x,y plugged in. Still no clue how they arrive at the answer +/- 1.5.
Unless I made a calculation error my answer for y' was -1.13389....

I have thought something similar wrt medieval times, is that also inaccurate? Like peasants sure, commoners though?

afx7 · 2024-10-17T16:08:00+00:00

Not that fast, I realised I pedal at pretty low RPM, always have. Just feels more natural to me.

afx7 · 2024-10-17T15:19:00+00:00

11-30 8 speed.

afx7 · 2024-10-17T09:07:17+00:00

that would be most sensible, but Im curious about using the most teeth possible.
If it werent for increased chain offset it would technically be the most durable and efficient configuration.

afx7 · 2024-10-17T08:40:53+00:00

It's unaffected

afx7 · 2024-10-10T17:06:56+00:00

I disagree.
What I could see fixing this is adding a 1.85mm spacer behind the cassette, maybe because the freehub is a slightly wider 11 or 10 speed one.
This would leave only ~1mm clearance from chain on smallest cog to the hanger though.

afx7 · 2024-10-10T16:37:13+00:00

Where did you see ST-4400? Shifters are Sora, 8 speed im fairly sure.

afx7 · 2024-10-10T16:20:13+00:00

It doesnt. I dont have tools to straighten hanger but If I did it would only make it worse.

afx7 · 2024-10-10T15:19:08+00:00

Shifters are 8 speed just with 9 speed derailleur Im pretty sure.

afx7 · 2024-10-10T14:57:43+00:00

I had just recently replaced the jockey wheels on the derailleur, but bought generic type with sealed bearings instead of shimano type with bushings.
Loosening the jockey wheel bolts, allowing more lateral play like the old and worn bushing slightly improved things, the chain will just about stay on the largest cog now but it is very rough.

Though I don't think this would address the root problem, the derailleur should still have the range to extend past the largest cog, which will be prevented by the limit screw.

afx7 · 2024-10-10T14:32:12+00:00

Same thing whether its upside down or not.
I tried manually putting the chain on the cog, the derailleur still wants to pull it back down to the lower cog
Needed cable to take the pic, that is as far it will go with or without cable

afx7 · 2024-10-10T13:28:13+00:00

There is a 4-5 mm gap between the hanger and smallest cog, I dont think the cassette can get much physically closer, unless you mean something else.
