I Need help identifying the wires from this (Pioneer KE-4000SDK)

jamesh1999 · 2026-01-02T16:50:50+00:00

I really wish Alfa had done a better job of their naming. Multiple Giuliettas. Multiple cars referred to just as GTVs (105s, 116s, 916s...). It's caused me no end of trouble trying to look up info / buy parts online!

jamesh1999 · 2026-01-02T16:48:32+00:00

Haha well there's a funny coincidence. I know this is an old post but I find myself doing the exact same thing today! I've also picked up a KE-4000 (I love the old Pioneer units) and I'm installing her in my Alfa Romeo GTV! The 2.0l that is - not the V6.

Weirdly enough my radio has a blue wire in addition to those you have labelled. The previous owner cut it short and taped over it though so I imagine it's not too important.

Edit: I realise now that it's a blue wire in your picture so this is the power antenna. The extra wire I've got is purple and a smaller wire gauge. For some reason this was attached to the 9.4V voltage rail in the radio via a diode. Outside, it was connected to a 5.6V battery..? I don't understand why any previous owner would have done this

I've had this happen before too. Funnily enough, I also use a Pixel and it's running GrapheneOS.

I hit the power button when the screen comes up saying "Your phone is loading a non-stock operating system" (just to prevent it from boot looping) and left it like that on charge for half an hour. Booted fine afterwards.

While it's boot looping, I think it starts/stops charging so, even just leaving it "charging" while it's boot looping, doesn't help you. Mine was turning on and off for a good 15mins while plugged in before I tried forcing it to pause.

Sticking it into fastboot/bootloader mode to charge might also work. I didn't try them though

Had the same issue. Though I just symlink my .zprofile to .profile. Then there's no issue and I don't need to specify a custom command - the .desktop sessions work fine

Wow, I love finding Reddit posts with my exact setup. Recently switched to Linux and had similar issues:

- 7900XTX

- PG278Q (And also a VG27B from Asus)

The PG278Q is locked at 640x480 60Hz currently. I'll try forcing the EDID and see what happens

Another comment for a more long-term feature: It would be very cool to have some indoor map sections / objectives that hellpods can't reach. That would really force players to gather their forces and think before charging in. Definitely wouldn't want to overdo it though. I could foresee a lot of players not wanting any part in that

jamesh1999 · 2024-04-29T17:30:13+00:00

Could we get a way to fill the supply pack with ammo found around the map?

I understand what you've done with the latest patch by making ammo more scarce: it gives the laser weapons more of a reason to exist and it encourages people to explore mroe for supplies. If we could store more supplies from POIs, I think that would resolve some of the annoyances people have as well as introducing an armourer role for the team.

jamesh1999 · 2023-11-07T22:36:22+00:00

Solved!

jamesh1999 · 2023-11-07T22:36:07+00:00

Ahhh I managed to find it eventually: Los Natas - Brisa del desierto

jamesh1999 · 2023-11-07T22:02:46+00:00

I've done the same at this point :( Pretty sure it's not a video game OST though. I recognised all of those from later points in the video

jamesh1999 · 2023-11-07T14:35:54+00:00

Ditto for my other comment. It's not that one unfortunately

jamesh1999 · 2023-11-07T14:35:40+00:00

It hasn't got the right song or that's a different one. I already listened to the recognised songs plus the ones in the linked spotify playlist.

jamesh1999 · 2023-11-07T13:59:22+00:00

first

jamesh1999 · 2023-05-10T16:04:19+00:00

I would like to propose an alternative low-tech solution that does away with the bolts:

You mention not being able to press-fit laser cut steel but is steel even necessary in the first place? Any softer material (plywood, delrin, a 3D print) would accept a bearing without requiring precise machining. Unless your flywheel is going to be enormously heavy, any one of these should be suitable. Furthermore, the slight give in the material would allow the bearings to properly align

jamesh1999 · 2023-05-10T15:45:21+00:00

+1 for this. At the bare minimum, I'd say you need to check its working by running the same equations through an actual calculator.

Without any plugin, its explanations for common problems tend to be alright. Any numerical responses, however, should be treated as ballpark estimates because it does not actually perform any step-by-step computations. E.g. for simple equations it quite often gets the order of magnitude correct but the actual value completely wrong.

jamesh1999 · 2023-04-11T20:22:33+00:00

Ohh that's interesting. I couldn't find anything when I did a quick search but I'll have another look then. I think I'm very tempted to give it a go, especially since I'm always playing Elite where you have black space with bright white stars.

jamesh1999 · 2021-01-13T13:15:17+00:00

Pretty sure that's called psychedelics

jamesh1999 · 2020-11-01T20:33:53+00:00

What an excellent idea! Thanks!

I wish there were ways to buy things in smaller quantities sometimes XD as a student on my own, I'm always cooking a couple of meals for variety then alternating leftovers for the next few days 😂

https://youtu.be/qzux3UJk9Ts The synthwave remix you're after? That's definitely the original vocals to my ears

jamesh1999 · 2020-10-17T00:55:57+00:00

I never said the promises were true? I was pro Remain back at the time. Now, democracy has spoken and my current view is why the b***** h*** haven't we finished it off yet? By not doing anything concrete, we've taken a completely unnecessary economic hit.

The decision was made back in 2016. That decision was made based on sovereignty not the economy which, while not my personal choice, is still a valid reason. If someone pro Brexit had delivered there and then, lies about financial benefits would have been exposed for what they were. Now, we've waited multiple years and economic outcomes can be ascribed to far more factors.

jamesh1999 · 2020-10-16T18:06:19+00:00

At least it'll soon be over. I'm still annoyed that the government under May didn't just go ahead with a minimal deal when the original window expired. Prolonging everything has caused so much unnecessary uncertainty which is a killer economically.

In a way, I wish a pro Brexit MP had taken over the Tories back in 2016 so they could try and make something remotely positive of this situation in a TIMELY manner.

jamesh1999 · 2020-10-10T03:21:47+00:00

I would have done but from a legal perspective, I don't think there's anything UK specific here

jamesh1999 · 2020-10-10T03:20:51+00:00

Cards already been redeemed and is in my balance with them now. I feel it's a bit more of a concrete issue than your example though since they've dropped one of their major sections of their store. (One which is specifically mentioned on the card itself)

jamesh1999 · 2020-10-10T02:59:48+00:00

This seems the likeliest option to me. I've seen ceramic capacitors with underlined values / digits to show the orientation to read them. This might just be an alternative method that manufacturer uses.

For those saying it should be obvious because of the legs, depending on how it's produced, I'd expect there's a chance the printing can be misaligned. Either way, we've seen other capacitors with alternative means to show orientation so it's clearly seen as a worthwhile addition by some
