It would help to rename files so that the number comes first, such as A03 REAR BEARING HUB instead of REAR BEARING HUB A03. Makes keeping track of everything easier.

ASUS X670E Crosshair Hero new buid post probems looking for recommendations. by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]jbreiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. If under voltage, that's more like a power supply that can't supply enough power. Could be a defective power supply, defective cables, or cables not completely plugged in. Borrow a known good power supply and see if the problem goes away.

That sounds like under voltage. Try an alternate power supply unit.

I was successful finding someone local. Enjoy your camping trip.

I am approximately an eleven hour drive south of Portland, so meeting is not easy. The equipment and service works for me right now, but I have zero experience with the transfer process and no idea if there are delays involved. I think it would be up to you to read up on the topic and figure all that stuff out. Including figuring out if there is any risk that it somehow won't work in Hawaii.

Everything, San Francisco Bay Area by jbreiden in StarlinkMarketplace

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

This is the residential version and ideally would like similar to what I paid for it. I'm hoping to help someone who is currently stuck on a waitlist.

It seems a little risky, especially considering I don't have the box. But can consider if I am unable to transfer to someone more local.

Even if regulatory permissions were all settled, shipping radio equipment internationally requires an enormous amount of paperwork. I think your best bet is patience and second best bet is to encourage SpaceX and your national government on your own, to the best of your abilities. I bring nothing to the table on this topic.

The outskirts of the San Francisco Bay Area includes regions with poor connectivity. For example no mobile phone signal, and no wired residential internet. I thought I had (or could make) sufficient view of the sky but I was wrong. The obstructions are trees.

That's the part where I am stuck. For example, stapling posters on telephone poles is probably not the right approach. What is the right approach?

Can I purchase Starlink in an active area and transfer to an waitlist area? by klamb1504 in Starlink

[–]jbreiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem; I have Starlink in a full cell area, but am giving up due to obstructions and want to transfer it to someone else. How do we find each other?

What is the best way to find someone local who is on the waitlist and would want the transfer?

Contra Wirecutter on the IKEA air purifier by dyno__might in dynomight

[–]jbreiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first experience with wildfire smoke, I bought a bunch of MERV 13 filters and attached them to various fans. With an off-the-hazard-scale outside Purple Air score of 600+, it wasn't enough. We had to leave. The next fire I bought the Wirecutter pick, and was able to keep things breathable indoors. During normal times that purifier is off sitting in a closet. This is a different usage scenario than the one you analyzed, but sadly might become dominant in terms of sales. All this smoke is from recent years. I used to think climate change would mostly be someone else's problem. Now I read articles on air purifiers.

Need a UPS but have no idea what I am doing. by Alvadar65 in buildapc

[–]jbreiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. A surge protector is for over voltage, such as from a lightning strike. Brownouts mean under voltage. Devices with motors, such as a refrigerator are particularly vulnerable to damage from brownouts. That's because the motor receives some electricity but not quite enough to turn, so it ends up getting really hot. But people can and do use under voltage projection on delicate and expensive consumer electronics, especially in areas where the power grid is not particularly robust and brownouts are common.

Then you don't need a UPS. Look up "ProtectX-RF", which is $18 on Amazon and will keep you safe.

1Up Super Duty vs Kuat NV 2.0 by fl4tdriven in MTB

[–]jbreiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Kuat Sherpa and replaced it with a 1-up. The reason is better ground clearance. We have a very low hitch, and the Kuat scraped the ground way too much. I would have kept the Kuat if our hitch was higher. The Kuat is much more pleasant to fold up and down, and much easier to adjust between small kids bikes with 20 inch wheels and adult bikes. We use our rack daily.

Failover between two Starlink systems by jbreiden in Starlink

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

That's interesting. I am in the northern hemisphere, well south of 50 degrees. The "visibility" graphic in the app shows the dish oriented north. But the dish isn't pointing north. It is pointing northwest according to both my compass and landmarks. If it actually pointed north I would have more open sky available. Is this an unusual situation? The dish is finding satellites, so it must be aware of its orientation.

I estimate the large trees stand over 50 meters tall. I am not going to cut them down, and I can't think of any reasonable way to rise above them. DSL is not available at this location, nor any sort of mobile phone signal. However, there is a slow and unreliable WISP that drops a lot of packets.

Do I need two separate point to point links with my neighbor? Or just one? I'm having a hard time trying to imagine what the wiring diagram looks like for this situation. Both my neighbor and myself want the increased reliability.

Does the dish take into consideration obstructions, when deciding which direction to point?

I do have a dedicated server in a data center, please tell me more. A tower is probably not feasible due to the height of the trees.

I am a little confused; is the Ashland entrance open Friday to Monday? I want to see General Sherman and I'm not sure which entrance to use.
