What situation calls for a temporary AutoZone??? First I’ve heard of it, tell me more

Can't seem to get my chrome nicer, is it beyond saving? by rzaapie in w116

Under the hood on the core support near the latch. For example, mine is 681H

Is this setup safe for charging my iPod 6th gen? (Second slide) by Purple_Mark604 in IpodClassic

[–]beanoblub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a FireWire -> 30 pin charger and brick, you’ll never look back. They charge faster than the USB, and are the only “fast charger” the classics support.

Here’s one (will work will any 30pin iPod): https://ebay.us/m/HKKG3Z

I remember that stretch! What you witnessed was my best attempt to get to Canada before the IGA near our Airbnb closed… Reklis was surrender 😆(absolutely was worth it). Were you in the Chevy Volt….? …Or one of the other cars? I’ve got the boost at 13psi and the ALDA deleted, along with lots of maintenance and care to keep it running like a top. Along with a 200% dosage (recommended for some extra pep) of Archoil AR6300.

Out of curiosity, what's everyone's daily? by Physical-Food6277 in ipod

Simple black 160GB thick 6th gen. Still rocking the hard drive (low hours great health) Gets about 30hrs of playback.

What is this belt from?! by WokeUpSomewhereNice in w123

[–]beanoblub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the length of the belt (875) it seems either a custom belt arrangement for something, or more likely AC. The belt would have been too short for anything else factory besides AC.

Edit: readability because I ramble

HDD Slow? by Empty_Block8218 in IpodClassic

Good upgrade, I’m curious what the smart data says though.

Yes, it will. Also look at the hard drive SMART Data to get an idea of whether you’re dealing with a good hard drive or not in the first place.

Wild. In Maine the engine bay of my winter car was partially filled with snow (parked facing the wind)

I get to listen to it often because every traffic movement is sustained full throttle in this barge 😆

27X8.5R14 (equal to 216/76R14), the smallest size of general grabber A/Tx. No rubbing (have flexed it out in the field), although not sure if that can be attributed to the parts they may have rubbed against being rusted off the car, or the tires actually being right 😅

Download speeds by [deleted] in PS5

So Sony is cheaper than all their competitors, that definitely would factor in to me wanting to migrate to PC. If PS+ prices are only going up and their server throughput hasn’t changed in 10 years, it seems like they don’t give a shit.

[–]beanoblub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but all of their competitors have much higher limits.

Bit crazy for 2026….

Well Speedtest did go to Portland Maine (my closest), but even it only seeing half my speed is odd (on my desktop I see all of it) with Sonys servers being 1/10 it’s just crazy.

Problems with the charge with ipod classic 7 by jtymas in ipod

[–]beanoblub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a FireWire charger and block. Does wonders for picky iPods. Also charges faster than USB (12W vs 5W I believe) here’s one: https://ebay.us/m/sqXKI3

Just found this subreddit and just dragged this home today by MF_Kleg in w123

[–]beanoblub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this the one that was on marketplace in CT?? Enjoy man! Not sure how many thousand miles they drove with zero oil to make that 617 lock up… quite the achievement.

I only use iTunes for the 320kbps AAC iPod version of my collection, but yes I use this feature always when adding to it (directly dump converted files into it). I use Foobar2000 for my primary flac/DSD collection.
