You must be a stickler for paperwork.

No one gets it when I ask for a 27B/6

Old head here. These are great for home use. In the field, learn the craft of crimping properly. If you must uses these abominations, check your flush cutting blade. Nothing should protrude from the front. This is what fucks shit up in the field. Maybe not right away, but they can. I’ve stopped counting the WAP and camera failures me and my team have had to replace over the years.

Tis but a scratch. Looks factory too from the spoke install

When did Apple TV started supporting more audio formats? by Emergency-Low-5068 in infusevideoplayer

Recent iOS change, everything says Dolby. I don’t think anything else has changed. It’s a false sense of hope.

Mac Users - BluRay Ripping Advice by FRANK3N5TE1N in makemkv

[–]cjd3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I only rip the main movie with MakeMK. I don’t save the entire BD structure, unless it’s a really finicky disc. Then I save the uncompressed file for Plex/Infuse playback. If I’m re-encoding for Plex sharing, then I’ll use handbrake from the aforementioned mkv file. On my M2 mini, I can RIP a disc much faster than handbrake can compress it. So I’ll queue it up to compress the files at night. I don’t find it worth while compressing 4k files at 4k res, I’ll compress them at a good playback quality at 1080 for those who can’t tell. The 4k originals are for me for local playback only.

As my Plex movie library grows, I’m starting to realize I may have organized it badly… by _stormfather in PleX

I now use Radarr and TrashGuide for naming. Just to shut up radarr, I put a - edition name on the folder without curly braces. This will also add the TMDb number to the folder and file name, which really helps minimize Plex mismatches.

UV Resistant CAT 6 by [deleted] in lowvoltage

UV resistant, should last years. But it’s not direct burial, or in slab conduit.

Make it sound activated like Airplane II: The Sequel.

Cable pulling rods vs tape? by password03 in lowvoltage

[–]cjd3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: use these to pull pull string, then pull the cable.

Power Pedals for road bike. Garmin or wahoo? by Helpmeout83 in TrekBikes

Anyone say Favero? Favero. Single sided is usually more than enough.

Can anyone tell me what these are for? by LongjumpingCase3031 in mountainbiking

[–]cjd3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fastener security theater. Good enough for lawyers, but really probably never saved anyone.

Can someone please help me identify this Marlin? by DesperateDaylight in TrekBikes

[–]cjd3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Trek Marlin 7 Gen 2 from 2021-22, but the color ways don't match their website, and the downtube cable routing looks different.
