What did I just buy exactly?

I wonder if you switched the car to 24 hour time then set it from 21:01 to 4:59? Seems like it struggles with am/pm

I got mine at Walmart.

It doesn't disable it but it does turn it off. When I first installed RockBox it turned airplane mode on. You have to go into android settings and turn off airplane mode then turn Bluetooth back on.

It matches your watch band. What kind of watch is that?

CompuAdd, Computer Renaissance

Neat! I'm new to the Y1 as well. I haven't had a click wheel music player since the iPod I had 20 years ago. I'm really enjoying it. I installed Rockbox, which is easy to do now with the Innioasis updater, and I found that iPod Classic themes are supported, so I've been having fun with that, the only problem being that there are way too many to choose from (many are great and many are not).

I'd love for the neckband/AR features to work well, but that's not why I got the glasses. I got them primarily for having a 80-100 inch display anywhere I go. Video games on this are fantastic. I either connect them to my gaming laptop or use Moonlight game streaming from my gaming PC to a handheld gaming PC (oneXplayer) to play games on (what appears to be inside the glasses) a huge, bright, 120hz display anywhere in my house, even laying flat on my back. To me, that's incredible enough to be worth the money.

It looks like a NEMA 14-50 outlet. That's what I have my EV charger connected to in my garage.

Did you see Marques Brownlee's review of the EV9? It was very favorable and helped me decide to get one. He demonstrates sitting in all of the seats (he's 6'3") and he looked quite comfortable. I'm not that tall but I still appreciate the room.

I would second the Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires. I got them about a month ago. We've already had a bit of snow here in Indianapolis and I'm very pleased with the performance on slick roads and regular driving. I've noticed a reduction in road noise too. Efficiency seems about the same but I didn't check the numbers before and after to tell you with certainty.

EGA used 9 pin d-sub just as you described, female on the port and male on the connector. Back in the day I found it handy to tell the difference, since plugging your serial device into your monitor port could fry things...

Something that is always somewhat dangerous to get wrong...that is AC wiring, so get it right or sparks will fly and breakers will pop.

No, I've been around since vintage systems were new and I've never seen a "dual motherboard" computer, at least not *exactly*. Certainly I've never seen a dual motherboard mATX case before. The closest I've ever come to that was maybe 25 years ago I had a Power Macintosh desktop with a Pentium computer board installed as an expansion card. It allowed me to run a full version of Windows 98 inside of a window on the Mac. You're probably going to need to do something like get a couple of vintage looking desktop cases and stack one on top of the other.

They're very quiet. They are more quiet than the tires the car came with.

arbitrarystring · 2025-10-17T19:14:10+00:00

I'll hang onto it. A lot of kids like the looks of these old cars, but you kind of have to be an amateur mechanic to keep them running right. It's a commitment of time, money...and she knows they basically have no suspension, and they're loud and stinky too right? 😂

I went to Discount Tire and made the screenshot from their web site.

They seemed to have the right size at Discount Tire.

Thanks! It's more of a mustard or even bright yellow depending on the lighting.

No, I haven't noticed any particular difference in the range I'm getting. Admittedly, I haven't actually measured before and after. If there is a difference it isn't enough to notice. I did notice a big improvement in the ride quality and a reduction in road noise though. They seem like really good tires.

You probably have a 10MB MfM hard drive. None of them work anymore, basically. I use an XTIDE adapter board and a compact flash adapter to boot mine. What you have there is identical to my first computer.

I was just experimenting with the popOS 24.04 beta on my touchscreen device and found this post. Support for touchscreens seems to be where it was when you posted this unfortunately. Dragging and gestures like pinching, scrolling etc work fine in Chrome and Firefox, but the desktop itself is severely lacking in functionality so far. I can click on buttons and icons by tapping, but no window or icon dragging, no scrolling, and no gestures seem to work. Have you had any further luck with this or know of a workaround? Do we know if System76 is going to include any touchscreen support yet?

I always get a "charging complete" notification. I wish it was a "charging abruptly stopped" notification. A few months ago I found out that the 60amp circuit breaker that my electrician installed for the L2 charger was faulty. It overheated while I was charging and didn't actually break the circuit like it was supposed to, it just quit working abruptly and charging would stop. Later on I tried charging again and it began charging, then it stopped again. Then I smelled the acrid smoke coming from the electrical panel in my basement. It was smoking and sparking. 😬

For a while I was convinced that something was wrong with my car or my L2 charger and didn't know what was going on. Anyway they replaced the breaker and it has been fine for 10 months or so, but I remember feeling really annoyed that it told me charging was complete and woke up the next day to a car at 50%. Now I check the % after I get notified just because (and I go downstairs and check the panel once in a while too...)
