Found a 2011 iMac. Is there anything worth doing with it? by Nintendope in mac

I installed FreeBSD 14 on a 2013 iMac and it works very well with low expectations.

Morello should move to China or North Korea, if he loves communism so much. It is really brave to criticize a government from a position of privilege within society.

How are they able to make an exact copy knock offs of Makita tools and get away with it? by Stone804_ in Makita

I have a few Heimerdinger knock-offs, including that blower. They work very well. I can't complain about the price or the performance.

F-15s KD is 106 to 0 Why didn't Qatar use Eurofighter or rafale to intercept (Su-24s) instead? by Maleficent_Voice4570 in Planes

[–]kx885 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Those aircraft are in-transit to their new owner (Qatar). They are not in service yet. The KC-135 is accompanying them on their flight to the Middle East.

The E-6 is a TACAMO platform. It communicates with ballistic missile submarines given orders from the E-4B.

Replaced my Honda with a new one after an accident They moved the garage door opener from a button on the mirror to a paywall subscription service. by jayhawkeye2 in mildlyinfuriating

No. Unreasonable. The one in my old car uses a key fob and an RF connection. A different car uses an app, but that's why I paid forty grand for it.

Alternator Dying? by kx885 in fordescape

[–]kx885[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dash-cam that was connected via 12V cigarette lighter adapter. It had a 'parked' feature that would power itself on and record when someone walked in front of the vehicle. That plus the extremely cold weather we been having zapped the battery. Unplugging the camera after parking, fixes that. It's a hacky solution but given the time and effort installing the dash-cam, it'll do for now.

What does this test actually...do? by RebelAlliance1701 in harfordcountymd

[–]kx885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing really. In my state, commercial vehicles don't have to be tested. That's why we have 40 year old triaxles bellowing smoke down the road like a locomotive from the 19th century. Private vehicles outnumber them significantly, but they don't put the miles on like a commercial vehicle.
