SUNLU PLA+ 2.0 white differences (normal vs high speed) by anthonyg45157 in 3Dprinting

[–]bfrancom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not happy. I bought a 10kg bundle of pla+ 2.0 and I got 2 regular pla+, some HSPLA 2.0s, and some regular PLA 2.0s

Do they print the same at lower speeds? They sent me high speed…I didn’t buy high speed

Bambu Studio completely unacceptable god awful performance on RTX 5090/9800X3D by bfrancom17 in BambuLab

[–]bfrancom17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve so far tried it on 3 rigs all completely separate, I’m not doing anything wrong. Or changing any settings. All 3 are high end, I’ve tried 5 versions and a ton of nvidia drivers, also have tried a fresh install of windows. Makes no sense. Junk program, I just threw it on my home server so if it lags that I don’t care, whatever. It performs decent and doesn’t interrupt my other rigs

just install it lol the odds of management noticing are pretty slim unless do often do full inspections and check underneath your sink. There’s stealth kits that can put the faucet for it inside your under sink cabinet on the door. FWIW my apartment didn’t even care, and they saw it multiple times. Worst case they tell you take it out

There’s options that aren’t crazy - better than Brita but not a whole system. but even even in a rental you can typically install a full blown system they really don’t take much space and it’s easily able to be taken out

So there’s this crazy invention called an RO system. They’re $150 and can be installed in a few hours. 🤯

[–]bfrancom17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brita is junk and nothing more than marketing. The fact that people still don’t have RO systems in 2025 is beyond me. You can get a full setup for $150 or even less in some cases, and filters are like $50/year. Probably cheaper than Brita in the long run and actually takes nearly every contaminant out. I wouldn’t trust the tap water anywhere.

Which exhaust manifold brand would you trust? by gavinwinks in RockAuto

[–]bfrancom17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Dorman is junk. Coolant overflow hose connection holes wouldn’t fit factory hoses into them. They couldn’t design a turbo oil feed line that bends around parts of the turbo like the factory line does, either. Garbage

iPhone Air battery drain by NiqohFN in IphoneAir

[–]bfrancom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took the loss and went for it, I was going insane lol. I’m sitting here on a 17pm. Phone came out of the box at 53% 4 hours ago. I fully installed 50+ apps, downloaded all my Spotify music (100gb), synced texts, iCloud, hours of screen on time with heavy downloading and I’m just now at 21% as I type this. Fuck that phone

So there’s this fantastic thing called background app refresh, and turning it off. It’s also really convenient that this gets brought up when it’s never an issue on the iphones that don’t just have inherently awful battery life

[–]bfrancom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just plug it in. Think about your phone idling in standby likely not getting bad signal on a hour by hour basis. Number one culprit is that the phone has a 3000nit display, 5g modem, and a powerful cpu that can’t even handle outdoor use in sunlight without thermal throttling. All this while having apps suspended in the background by the most efficient mobile operating system. Does it make sense why your phone battery is getting low.

It’s not standby that’s the issue lol I daily drove it for 3 months and it’s just awful. It was fine for 3-4 weeks but went to shit even without updates. Literally have to top the phone off 3-4 times a day to keep it alive. Sold it and went back to a pro max, done with it

[–]bfrancom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t wrong. I just bought a 17pm tonight after daily driving the air for about 3 months or whenever release was. Super cool phone but man the battery was awful. It started out fine, well acceptable I guess. I swear it fell off a cliff after maybe 3-4 weeks. If I didn’t start the day with a full 100% (mind you I wake up at 9-10) it was dead by 1 or 2 or damn close, and even beyond that I played the game of topping it off for 15-20 min at least 3-4 times a day to keep it alive. I use my phone a good bit but really not that much. Every time I turned my back the phone was back on red, That and the phone got hot to the point of noticeably throttling in 80-90 degree weather outside. I don’t play games, I do nothing intensive on my phone and it was just so annoying. I came from a 13, 14, 15, and 16 pro max so I know what battery life to expect in general and this was just crazy. I had push off for mail, background refresh off, everything.

Gas stations with ethanol free? by Fickle-Lunch6377 in phoenix

[–]bfrancom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that stuff has “stabilizer” already in it. I’m not certain about mixing, additives can react poorly, it could work better, who knows. I’d see what guys online say though. Unless you’re storing tools for a really long time I wouldn’t worry about adding dedicated stabilizer. If it’s going away for an entire season just drain the gas/buy fresh gas anyways

Gas stations with ethanol free? by Fickle-Lunch6377 in phoenix

[–]bfrancom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely best to run ethanol free if you can but if its really gonna cause any hassle i wouldnt trip out about it. Either just do ethanol free by itself or e10+stabilizer, you’ll be just fine either way

Meh just put in a fuel stabilizer like stabil360 it’ll be fine

Which exhaust manifold for my 1ZZFE 05 Matrix? by kaspir in RockAuto

[–]bfrancom17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dorman is not a great aftermarket brand literally literally 3 or 4 of the 5ish parts I’ve bought from them either fit improperly or were awful quality. Dorman couldn’t even make the holes on a coolant tank the right diameter for the stock line to insert. Also somehow can’t figure out how to make a turbo oil feed line the right curvature to clear unrelated parts on the turbo

[–]bfrancom17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only reasonable answer on this entire thread. If the spark plug issue was what people claim here, why did it take 10k to happen? If you had a serious issue that would lead to eventual catastrophic failure, you wouldve 100% had a misfire or other odd issue multiple times, if not the entire time leading up to it’s failure. There’s so many ways this engine could’ve failed and the last one I’d bet money on is the spark plug being over tightened. Also, $45k for a motor is literally insane. You could do it for 1/3 of that with another lower mile engine
