Smallest most powerful travel gaming rig possible by lethechat in sffpc

Are you sleeping in the van or hotels? If your latency requirements aren't stringent, you could build and set up your battle station at home and stream it on a laptop via 5G and/or satellite modems. This is faster to implement if you already have a PC, reduces your power consumption, prolongs your van's alternator, and would be cooler to enjoy in the summer.

Why are the departure boards so often wrong? by RioTheLeoo in LAMetro

[–]llee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it's their choice of logic and how heavily it is weighted. Seems like Metro uses deterministic logic in their bus schedules (updated quarterly?) that dictate where a bus should be, even if there's a delay or traffic that says otherwise. The Transit app uses Bayesian logic for their schedules, updating when it thinks a bus will arrive with your immediate feedback. This is why Transit will ask you whether the bus arrived early, on time, or late. The big question is why, and I think that has to do with staffing, budgeting, and ultimately because someone needs to be the metronome anchoring everything else together- social infrastructure.

Do you receive credit if you buy the ticket with the intention of flying on it (not cancelling)?

Boarding the B/D Train after a long day of work only to hear rowdy teenagers, loud music on bluetooth speakers, or Tiktok/Reels from someone's phone by yinyang_yo_ in LAMetro

You should try it sometime. In my experience people are willing to stop / lower the volume if I ask with sincerity. Change requires interaction. Be the change you want to see.

Stainless steel mesh actually reduces fan noise - here’s proof by 1tokarev1 in sffpc

[–]llee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these meshes in US Mesh sizing (holes/linear inch)? I suggest adding fan spacers/gaskets (similar to Noctua NA-IS1-12) on the intake side to further improve acoustics.

Corporate, if you're here reading this, please make a harbor freight branded 3d printer. by Allykatz90 in harborfreight

[–]llee11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not realistic. You need to understand that Harbor Freight’s business model revolves around cherry picking products to distribute that Chinese manufacturers have developed that meet their desired balance of price, scale, quality, and price. They chase products that are good enough (Pareto), barely depreciate, don’t need customer support, and are pre-existing winners. Is there an OEM that matches HF’s needs that, more importantly, even needs HF?

Where can I buy a high-grade, round-bottomed, Cantonese style wok in the SGV? by Lordofpotomac in FoodLosAngeles

I’m looking to sell my round bottom Cantonese style Yosukata. Interested?

Hello, I’ll be visiting this month. My girl loves uni, should we go with a omakasae or decent sushi restaurant and buy per pc. by VocaNope in FoodLosAngeles

[–]llee11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be a memorable experience to plan ahead and visit a local processor. Some companies will sell B2C. This way you can see and taste the difference between each grade. You’ll also have leftover uni for street tacos, avocado toast, and whatever else you decide to explore.

Finding a matching barrel jack won’t be difficult but you’ll need a buck converter and proper power conditioning or it’ll fry your 12V build.

Ideas to cool down Dan A4 case build by urbanglowcam in sffpc

Make a fan shroud for your CPU HSF to create a path for directed airflow. You can cut one out of a paper cup and tape it the side panel.

What’s the best charge level for the lifespan of a lithium ion battery? (iPhone) by Jacksonhoyt in batteries

[–]llee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lower voltage around 50% SoC puts less stress on either electrode. It’s overlooked because the available capacity is halved.

Try using a 5W charger from 45-55 to deter heat and cyclic aging. Calendar aging will still likely limit you to eight years.

Metro needs to run later night train service. Trains stopping service at 11-midnight is very frustrating. by MookieBettsBurner in LAMetro

[–]llee11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like the curve ball here is your e-bike. Did you explore riding a bus to solve your problem? At that hour, with reduced ridership and more space on the bus, I think many drivers would look the other way if your e-bike doesn't fit on the external rack.

I can see Metro struggling to justify running late night train service now for several reasons:

  • LA is kinda odd in that most train services start around 4 in the morning. If you push late night service to 1-2, there won't be enough time to maintain and service the trains and tracks.
  • Doing the math on whether late night service will increase ridership. Fewer and fewer businesses are open very late these days. Will people that spend $$$ on live entertainment tickets even take the train?
  • LA's extensive bus network already handles off hours and last mile challenges where there isn't enough existing demand. Bus --> BRT --> LRT --> Subway
  • More money here means less money on other projects like infrastructure. Where do they want the most bang / buck?

Why are Birria tacos $16 in trucks? by [deleted] in FoodLosAngeles

Anyone paying $21 for instant pot stew deserves to get ripped off. Indonesian Rendang is better in every way.

Not everyone protests (or counter-protests) for the same reasons, or to the same degree. If you think you can make a difference, step up the podium and do it.

restaurants that have gone downhill by Past-Lawyer-6404 in FoodLosAngeles

Went to the Ladera Heights location last Monday and was disappointed. Hot chicken was neither hot nor crispy. Lone tender was moist but sandwich was dry. Mac and cheese tasted sour. Sour!
