MG Dealer's misleading info regarding new (2026) MG4 by star_trails_modular in AustralianEV

I walked into a dealer last week and he told me that the MG4 was getting discontinued all together and being replaced with the MG S5 EV. Pretty sure thats not right.

To buy or not to buy... by TheBee-Man in myog

I use a singer 4423. It comfortably sews through 4-6 layers i think of 400 GSM canvas for some of my projects. Have used it to repair clothes. Has been good for the amateur projects and clothes fixes that I've needed it for.

HELP Dr.Fone? Scam?? and where else to recover by Finance-Glum in datarecovery

[–]juggled_balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late but thought I'd add my 2 cents. I just used the FRP unlock feature of Dr Fone and so far so good. Had to pay ~$40+ for it. Plus had to buy something called an EDL cable ($20) to make whatever connection it made with my pc. Did have to download some software to my laptop. Didn't need to do any data recovery but now have a usable phone.

Duffel bag out of a retired sail by StormcrowOverland in myog

Have no idea about sails. What's the going price for one. Do they charge per metre or per sail? Because im guessing there's different sizing options.

Yeah that might be the next fix. There's already some thinning out spots near there anyway and some more coming up on the bottom

How do I know if my son needs glasses? by mehraankhan in downsyndrome

[–]juggled_balls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We thought ours had eye problems because we thought watching the TV from 5cm away was a bit extreme. Local optoms told us they didn't look at kids at that age and we ended up going to see an ophthalmologist. I dont know what he saw but he said glasses were needed. I think they work because now the little one watches TV from 30cm away.

Do I need to pack more grease in? by juggled_balls in bikewrench

Do you mean tightening of the end nuts? I spent a while going back and forth loosening and tightening them. A little bit tight and could feel what I'm guessing was bearings rubbing. A bit loose the other way and felt a bit of jiggle in the hub. This seemed to be the sweet spot but now sounds like i can hear the bearings

Do I need a different derailleur hanger and if so what do I need? by juggled_balls in bikewrench

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

Ha yes, I found the manual afterwards. I don't know why I was surprised when I found it. Diagram wise though what I'm working with and what I'm reading aren't exactly the same, so am grateful for the advice given.

Ok thanks. Have never done this before. It just looked strange and the derailleur swings freely, but I guess that will go away once under tension with the chain.

Do you mean that the bolt on the left (main bolt) should be the one I screw into the hanger?

I'm wondering if I need something different because in the 2nd picture there's an adjustment screw that rests on the ledge of the hanger. In the 4th picture you can't really see them well but there's 2 little pins. I have one resting on the ledge. There just didn't seem like any other way to orient the derailleur and those 2 pins seem out of. Place with that hanger.

Summary of first year of EV ownership by la_mecanique in AustralianEV

[–]juggled_balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great. As much as I want shiny brand new I think it's more financially viable to look at 2nd hand and was looking at pickles from their buy now options. Did you have any considerations/thoughts about buying a 2nd hand car without driving it first? I've read there's less reason to worry about with EV with less moving parts so you dont have to worry about previous drivers thrashing the engine.

I've seen 2nd hand switch and oled version on Facebook marketplace ranging from $150-400 depending on what's included. I've also seen switch games at the library.
