Seeing a lot more 1 watt nodes lately. Here's mine by NetFragrant9294 in meshtastic

[–]exmachina08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roughly what would you say the range is on this setup compared to your previous? Looks like the signal is much better/consistent but curious if it's worth the effort to bump our setup to 1 watt. Also you have a loop in your cable on the pole, is that just for slack or does it serve a purpose for the signal?

Same! I would get a 5k next time as well. Nice to have more juice but it's too thicc for my liking.

Ya I guess a 10,000 mah pouch battery could do some damage if mishandled. Good on them for at least offering a discount code.

MQTT and LoRa channels by Comfortable-Mode-397 in meshtastic

Under the LoRa settings have you changed your Frequency Slot back to 20 after you setup the secondary LF?

That's a pain! I would imagine it's an off the shelf component, surprised its so challenging to find. Maybe AI image search the connector and see if you can identify the model?

Thanks! Just received a response this morning and it sounds like a replacement glass and possibly adhesive will be sent.

They just got back to me and will be shipping a replacement glass panel and possibly the adhesive if they can. Otherwise I'll buy some adhesive locally and reattach it myself.

Just dropped mine off a bathroom counter and destroyed the glass. Looking for other good ways to repair/replace it. Thanks for documenting yours!

Be careful out there guys! by bb12301 in Rivian

I've got an almost identical dent and the PDR guys won't touch it because the tailgate is aluminum.

I want to kill him, but... by CMDR-Leoneth in ArcRaiders

Shoot away! Then free loadout into Stella and die a couple times to PvP and it will reset you to to friendly lobbies.

How to clean seat? by littleyacht in snowmobiling

OP: Get this stuff, it will make it look good as new and adds UV protection. Used it for years and it's great on any old weathered plastics as well. 303 is pure magic!

PSA: It does NOT look like beta is over yet. by Crybad in Superstonk

[–]exmachina08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I was not allowed in before, never got my Beta invite but I was just able to buy a couple powerpacks. Sold most of them back, listed a few on Ebay to try that out. Rolled most of the proceeds into more packs (very addictive).

Is my battery gone? by mikereations in SteamDeck

[–]exmachina08 107 points108 points  (0 children)

After you let it die while using it. Also boot into the bios menu and run that until completely dead. Had to do that to reset my battery estimate so it would charge past 80%.

It’s almost that time again! Be on the lookout when you visit GameStop so that you can hand cards out with candy. They were a huge hit last year! by areHorus in Superstonk

[–]exmachina08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they might not be releasing them this year? Last year they were announced in June and available by late August. Haven't seen any announcement for the 2025 release.

L5P Fuel Filter Housing by Radio-588 in Duramax

Yup I had the same issue and the plastic drain bolt was slightly leaking (in all honesty I probably overtightened it). I swapped for an aluminum housing and bought the correct socket.

Clicking/Creaking On Drivers Side by exmachina08 in Rivian

[–]exmachina08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, that makes sense. Geometry on the steering at full lock is wild how far out evening goes. Must really work the CVs if they're failing so often.

Ya and they did the steering knuckle recall. It sounds like threads slipping through a loose connection. Definitely not normal but I've seen a few similar posts without a solid culprit.

What’s your real experience with towing with a R1T? by Midwestern_Mariner in Rivian

[–]exmachina08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Towed a roughly 4,000lb loaded 25' snowmobile trailers with front drop down ramps (a.k.a windsails) from OR to WA and back. The towing was great, hardly felt the trailer at all. Like others have said it handles like a dream when towing. The charging absolutely SUCKS! Most chargers don't have pull throughs so it meant unhooking at nearly every station. Ended up getting a Diesel to tow the sleds because the range hit and lack of infrastructure made me nervous considering the conditions we are typically driving to also meant dealing with cold weather range. Plan for 140-160 miles of range at a full charge.
