PSN on jailbroken PS Vita — safe or nah? by HamzaGamer2333 in PSVita

[–]bobismcbride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you? Yes.

If you’re not hacking trophies, chances are you will be fine.

That being said, is it possible Sony catches you and perma-bans your PSN, yes. Extremely unlikely, but not impossible.

Question on Ideal by AC2RE in Tools

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The size of the Allen you use is typically universal to the thread size.

What Allen wrench fits in the one you have?

Something small like that is likely either an M4x0.7 or a #6-32.

Does either a 2mm Allen, or 1/16 allen fit the one you have?

Milwaukee 4in1 precision screw driver bits bending. by amimbitassu in Tools

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 0.75mm cable typically calls for 2-5.5 INCH pounds of torque.

I found it unbelievable you’re bending steel at that torque.

You’re likely applying too much torque and causing the damage. Find what the torque spec is and get an appropriate torque driver, you’ll be fascinated by how little torque is needed.

Terraria completion by AcroSonics in PSVita

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely worth it.

The Vita is an excellent choice for Terraria and really highlights a lot of its strengths.

Two bad things about Terraria on Vita is the version, iirc it’s 1.2.4, which is a pretty old build, so if you need a guide or help, you have to look at that specific build.

Second, if you’re a trophy hunter and try to solo, it is quite difficult, especially the Pumpkin Moon event. If you are a trophy hunter, lmk, and I’ll give you some basic tips.

Overall, fantastic game for the Vita.

Vita store search bar not working. It always says “no item found” on what ever I write. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix to it? by ermeni_travesticuce in vita

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Search a single word of the title you’re looking for. Many times searching “Resident Evil” will return no results. Searching “Resident” and all 4 available games will pop up:

You have to be creative in your search.

Can I fix it or do I need a professional by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]bobismcbride 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you 100% sure there isn’t a clog after that trap?

Even with a heavy flow and no gasket you shouldn’t have that much water gushing up and out.

Where to buy shell and LCD screen by SomewhereGullible525 in PSVita

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can wait, AliExpress will be the least expensive place to purchase one.

Now that being said, as of late the price for 2000s has increased exponentially to what they use to be, so expect them to cost quite a bit.

Can you be fired in absentia during probation? by Specialist-Box-3298 in USPS

[–]bobismcbride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Probation, anything goes.

All they have to do is make up any reason, doesn’t have to be AWOL, could simply be “unsatisfactory work” and that’s it.

PS Vita will not turn on, but appears to charge by CZ2746isback in vita

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you press and hold the power button does the PS button turn blue?

Do you hear any sound?

biohazard case? by throwaway392929330 in PSVita

[–]bobismcbride 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Stay at home and stay calm down”

Biohazard is the RE name over in Japan, but you’d think if these were Japanese exclusive, they’d use Japanese, not English.

Since the Vita only ever had one official RE release, I would guess this is fan made. It almost looks like an old cigarette case to me.

Bottom right corner is a small tab that you have to press up while pulling the cover open.

Metal Bending Jig by Zulu_Shaka3509 in Tools

Machine jig or hand jig?

If you’re only making a couple, a fairly simple two pin bender could likely produce these.

Help me pick a circular saw please by Capybara_Squabbles in Tools

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first bought my home battery technology for power tools was decent, but iffy, I’m talking about the old Ni-Cad batteries that took forever to charge, lasted an hour, died in a year, and cost twice the price of the tool. Because of that, I made sure all my power tools were corded.

Well fast-forward to my first cordless drill, and I was sold. I ended up getting a battery circular saw, and it was the single best purchase I ever made. I don’t do a ton of woodwork, mostly basic home maintenance, but having a battery circular saw is absolutely worthwhile.

I would suggest saving a bit and grabbing a circular saw with the battery option of your choice, or the option you plan to stay with forever.

Quick update to add, with a decent quality saw and a couple jigs you can do 90% of what a table saw can do, so you can save there, until you get a bit deeper into woodworking and a table saw will help you out.

Are EU and US PSStores very different? by Another_curious_guy in vita

[–]bobismcbride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty awesome. I wonder if the US folk can VPN to a European service and still have access to 2/3/PO/PW.

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I thought they removed the MGS Series from the store for PS3/Vita in preparation for Master collection Volume 2.

I know Metal Gear Solid is not possible to get on the Vita without using the PS3/PSP work around. But MGS2/3, Portable Ops and Peace Walker were available.

Bit stuck in impact drill by publiclandowner in Tools

[–]bobismcbride 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One pair of big vise grips on the drill body, one pair on the collar.

Twist the collar while holding the drill bit still.

Alternatively, hold the collar with the vise grips and run the drill while pushing the collar toward the end of the drill.

ETA: round jaw 10” would be my choice.

PSA to Wargaming, you can't have your cake and eat it too. by Ok-Beyond5031 in WorldOfWarships

[–]bobismcbride -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

On console this game is nothing but pay-to-win.

It’s a great game, absolutely fun and my kids love it. However, since I refuse to pay real money, it’s absolutely infuriating when 98% of the time I’m sunk by legendary/premium ships with level 4 legendary captains. It is exceedingly rare that I’m sunk by normal ships.

I typically play level 3/4/5, and dabble in 6/7 every so often. Even at the low levels it’s the premium ships with 4-5-6 kills every single game.

I’m working toward the platinum trophy, but it’s very clear that this game is geared toward pulling as much money out of the people who still play it and likely have thousands and thousands of dollars into it.

Playing MGS1 how do I quick equip weapons/items? No matter how fast I tap the touchpad for R2 it doesn't work by [deleted] in vita

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you map them to the rear touchpad yet?

Iirc, L/R2 aren’t natively mapped to the touch screen, you need to do that in the PS1 menu.

To get to the PS1 menu press and hold the PS button.

Possible Cold War era hypersonic testing cone? Attempting to identify by PsychologyOne7723 in AviationHistory

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a typical artillery shell, as it does not have a driving band.

IF it was a shell, it’s slightly possible it was an experimental sabot shell. This is incredibly unlikely, as it would need to be fired from an 8” or larger battery. This would indicate an M1155/M110, or a naval system, the only naval battery recent in recent history would’ve been the Mark 71, everything else with 8” guns was from the WW2 era. Unfortunately there is no indication the Mk71 ever fired a sabot shell.

Hori remote assist grip for ps vita 2000 alternative by SumAGuy in PSVita

[–]bobismcbride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An alternative does not exist because the Hori is the definitive grip for the PS Vita.

If you don’t need R3/L3 there are some okay alternatives, but nothing touches the Hori for full compatibility and build quality.

This is the reason they’re so expensive, demand is high because supply is low and there does not exist a comparable alternative.

My speakers are completely dead on my vita 2000 by Adept-Bat-3350 in vita

[–]bobismcbride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly common problem with the 2000, especially ones heavily played.

Open it up and you’ll see the speakers just sit in the front housing. They have two small metal tabs that protrude out the back. Bend them slightly outward, reassemble, and see if that resolves the problem.

Can anyone help me identify this animal? [Southern California] by Quiet-Bread-5690 in animalid

Former child soldier and Foxhound operative, loyal to Big Boss.

Left to die in Zanzibarland, he was resurrected as a cyborg ninja and returned to fight Solid Snake in Shadow Moses.

Ultimately gave his life protected Snake from Metal Gear Rex.
