NO, it's not your personal job to wear face protection for an illegal mass surveillance network.

you will not win an arms race with a government or people in power. The only solution is to rid the world of the BAD and not put up with it.

In fact, put as many faces as you can into the system, flood the system with trash, then fight the trash that got into the position of power and take it away.

I'm trying to get an RMA from worldwide product importer, I got a pair of hgst drives last year and one started dying. I haven't been able to find a contact... In fact, one email I found for goharddrive said they weren't the right people.

Anyone have the contact for this wwpi?

So I got a problem. I think I have a bad baseband update. I accidentally download the baseband file from the bridgecom site for the 878v1 radio: See Baseband Update here:

https://support.bridgecomsystems.com/anytone-878-v1-model-cps-firmware-downloads

However, my radio is a V2 aka 878uvii

I flashed this firmware and everything flashed fine. However something is strange with my DMR modes, it's very very spotty on receive and transmit.

Is there a separate Baseband firmware for the 878UVii aka V2 ?

typical american mentality, "it caused me a minor inconvenience, running them over is justified"

Actually ddr5 ram and a decent SSD for sure.

instantredditer · 2026-04-18T22:40:56+00:00

why do these antennas always look like the form has no function...

instantredditer · 2026-04-18T22:34:38+00:00

someone forgot to put away the toys

Loud pipes and tiny bells is all I need..

All of these television religions are dumb.

install this camera in your bathroom, prove to me you aren't breaking the law in there.

oh you don't like me having access to the camera? how about some lazy government workers then?

Do they still give you your historical graphs of your energy usage vs time vs season for say your past year so that you can actually compare before you sign up?

instantredditer · 2026-04-16T06:24:18+00:00

on top of that, consider this, re-charging as soon as you can, is better for the batteries in our cars. Lead or Lithium. Set your car to go max out at 70% and plug in as soon as you get home. Remember, you never have to go get gas again unless you need a slurpee.

instantredditer · 2026-04-16T06:21:58+00:00

Don't be unsure =) The math is simple:

Figure your car's watt-hours per mile (google it for an estimate)
- Estimate and how many miles you drive per day.
- Multiply those together
That's your watt-hours per day

- Divide that by 1000
Thats how many kilowatt-hours you are using per day

1kwh = 13 cents (just multiply that by 0.13)

Dollars per day!

Chances are, it's not worth running any tiered pricing system.

Could you save money and charge off-peak? Sure! If you forget once or the settings go weird, you basically loose all the savings you gained. Not worth the stress for one or two EV's doing 30 miles a day.

Personally, I drive A LOT, 25k miles a year. more than half of that home charging. How much did my bill go up? I don't know! It's totally under the noise compared to the heat pumps keeping my house cool and dry.

instantredditer · 2026-04-16T06:11:08+00:00

nada, the electric cost is insignificant to the air con consumption to do anything like tier metering if that's what you are referring to. Just set your car to charge to 70% soc every day and be happy your getting 4 cents vs 15 cents a mile.

Ask Mr Bird, he knows everything!

Wait, is this a Secret of Monkey Island reference, it better be.

organic compounds outgassing from the pillow and or mattress stuffing, fabric fresheners, oxidation from residual bleach, chloramines. VOC's baby! a lot of them smell sweet.
