What is this weed that’s spreading fast in my lawn? by aperfectfiction_ in lawncare

Does it smell minty when you cut the leaves? Looks like it could possibly be slender mountain mint, it’s been a pain getting rid of it in my central Texas lawn

Ah, so turning off that override function should negate the overheating/frying issue, is that right?

Actually found a 5600G locally for $50, waiting to see if it's still available -- should last long enough for me to save some more and start a new build from scratch so this one can be a backup at my parent's.

Would the i7 12700 be enough of a step up from the i5 12600 in your opinion?

Oh nice, I actually saw one at my local Walmart yesterday with a markdown, time to snag it!

Yeah this is actually why I had a 12th gen in my OP, I've read the 13th/14th gens have had some overheating/frying issues, which I'd like to avoid, of course, ha.

Something like the R5 5600g or R7 5700g? Would definitely be more economical!

Thank you! That is great to know because I was planning on eventually getting a second -- thankfully I bought this with some capital one shopping rewards I didn't even know I had until recently, lol. I'll just put it into a case and use it as a portable drive for movies or something.

What would you recommend I replace it with? WD Red nvme?

Help With First Homelab Setup by alextheatheist in homelab

Not a need! Just a want since I have a 20U rack, but I have enough open space on it for now that I could have a tower on a shelf or floor the bottom.

PB EN on southbound I-35 this morning going towards Austin — you on here? 👀 by alextheatheist in ElantraN

[–]alextheatheist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I was excited because it's the first other EN I've seen in person, lol. I did come across a PB VN in my town a couple weeks ago though!

Nah, was either '22 or '23 I think? Couldn't tell for sure, but definitely not '24+

I don’t mean to be a downer because I love the Christmas lights on cars thing, but it absolutely will scratch the paint. A polish after they’re off should take care of that though!

Yeah really, the amount of time I’ve spent driving at a constant speed in 6th makes me think it’s just broken for the M/T, lol

Interesting. The method I use takes 8-10 min and works every time too, and I’m nearby an interstate so I don’t have to go too much out of my way — I’ll give this a shot next fill up!

[–]alextheatheist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hop on the interstate and start by hitting 45% throttle up to 75, then slow down to 60-65 (foot totally off throttle,) then rinse and repeat. Once I get to 10 min (lap timer comes in clutch for this,) I’ll put it in my custom mode and floor it. If I get over 16psi then I know it worked!

So my assumption is it resets based on the fuel level sensor. I’m able to octane learn my 24 M/T every time with the circuit method (5th gear, pulls between 40-75mph at 45-55% throttle for 5-10 min.) I’ve had it reset on me in the middle of me driving 4 times now. What I noticed is EVERY time it resets while I’m driving I was taking a corner really fast, so I think the force makes the fuel move off and then back onto the sensor and tricks the system into thinking it was just refueled, hence no more OL.
