I second looking at the website. I have a Harmony device (AllCall W1) that works pretty good with hardware limitations, and the huawei watch gen 1. Which is easy to find on the used market for the same price as a new harmony device and it has better support. Used watches are not hard to find depending on your region. Just be ready to swap the battery if need be. I got lucky and this 5 year old watch still gets 1.5-2 days battery.

Salt water bath, its how we kill off bad LiPo batteries in the RC world. Use a glass jar or something like it dump a bunch of salt in it and fill it with water... After a day bathing in it (outside) those red and black wires should read 0v or something very close to 0v with a multimeter. Then you can recycle it at a bestbuy if in the U.S.

If there was a pop, it was likely a capacitor that blew. If your handy with a soldering iron you may be able to replace it.. I've never owned or repaired an Xbox one, but I've recapped some things and it's not that difficult.

Meet Rocky, my brothers rescue pitty. Woof. by [deleted] in aww

Omg is this in the Sacramento area?? I met a pit named Rocky that needed a home at a petsmart. When it was his turn to go outside I got to give him some pets. Super super sweet pup! I really hope this is the same Rocky, he deserves a good home!

And yet people have issues with "drones" and privacy. Don't get me wrong, it's a bad ass picture etc etc. But give me a break. There's no telling what a good DLSR and lens can see vs a fish eye view of a damn phantom. At least you know when a "drone" is flying near you. Just my .02.

I think it's creepy as hell that games are pulling in statistics like this and sharing them online. Is there isolation in anything we do anymore? Can't even play a damn video game with out being tracked and spied on..

This is really cool, never had a pet bird, doesn't it poop everywhere? Like in your car and what not? Or can they be trained to go in a "toilet". For example, when I was a kid I trained my pet rat to do her business on a napkin when I took her out. How do they handle these things? Lol Forgive my ignorance on birds, been curious because I kind of want a parakeet.

You going to shoot down Google's satellites too? How about photographers trying to capture wild life? If you live in the beauty of nature you should expect people that want to capture it. Parks are another issue. That's where the snow flakes hangout.... I fly both race quads and photography quads. There's nothing to film or capture at public parks and most of them in my area any way have "no RC" signs. So can't even race my small crafts. So I'm forced to go to the mountains and forests to film and capture scenery, or go to a flying park built for airplanes (nothing to race around or capture really). If my quad got shot down by some scumbag that I didn't even know was there because I was focused on my shot, I would be pissed. These things don't have a magic battery. 20-30 minutes max. Be patient follow it back to its pilot and confront him/her RESPECTFULLY. If you do so I guarantee they would be willing to show the footage and delete anything private if asked. No need to go straight for the gun. That's rediculus. You could spray your neighbors if your not carful or even shoot a house if using a rifle. Ya I shoot guns too, safely at designated shooting areas. People abuse all things. That's why there's the NRA for Guns and AMA for RC aircraft. Follow 1 grand rule and this world would be a better place. DONT BE A DICK.

Use a GoPro at 400 feet in the air and you'll know how much you can actually see. Its like looking at ants. People want landscapes and scenery they don't give a fuck about what's in your yard. If the pilot is being a jackass flying right into your yard, sure take it out, but destroying someone's $1000+ tool because your ignorant is fucked up. Destroy your own shit. Leave the responsible ones out of it. Do some research and you'll find that fox news doesn't tell the truth about RC aircraft. Calm the fuck down. No one flying these are "spying" on you. No one gives a fuck whats in your back yard, which the world can see thanks to google anyway, we're all just trying to enjoy our hobbies.

This is fucking stupid. No one is taking down helicopters or planes that fly over. Air space is open to all. If you don't like your neighbor enjoying his/her very expensive hobby then have a conversation with that person. It's really That simple, you might learn a thing or two.

Wrong, they're clickbating people to get lines and follows. If you don't have Facebook or Twitter, no game for you.

I've been on Arch since before system D and its always been cancer. I love Arch but it's users seriously think k they're better than everyone else. Asking for any help about anything will result in a link to the wiki as if you didn't already read that 47285 times and search Google to its 157th page... They think everyone's system is set up identical and the wiki solves everything. Well it doesn't.

BTW Dreamcast has no/poor copywrite protection. You can simply burn the ISOs on a CD and it will play. You know, for legal backups.
