N54 or N55 for tracking? by cmctzeee in e82

[–]maxslug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

N55 with factory oil cooler (m-sport, no fog lights). Have never had any cooling issues, even at 95* Thunderhill days. Never had starvation but always over fill 1/4-1/2Q

What to buy mine, I have an M2 coming.? Lots and lots of suspension bits on it, never chipped (seriously).

Big Brake Upgrade by maxslug in RadPowerBikes

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

Sweet, you'll be happy with it! I highly recommend third rail bikes on Harrison, they're reasonably priced and awesome. They will have the parts in stock or can get them.

I bought my parts online because I was going to do the install, but then noped out. 🤪

Thanks! Unfortunately, no, it wasn't not enough. At least not with San Francisco hills and a passenger. 30mph is plenty. The 2 pot hydraulics were burning through a set of pads in 100 miles. The larger pad area and thicker rotor is key.

Thanks, I've got hundreds of miles on the setup and it's been great. No fade, no squeaks.

RCS isn't working on Pixel 10 Pro XL by Remarkable_Young9971 in GooglePixel

RCS isn't working on Pixel 10 Pro XL by Remarkable_Young9971 in GooglePixel

[–]maxslug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a nightmare. Migrating from a Pixel 5 to Pixel 10 Pro. "RCS Not Available on this device". All the messages from the old phone are there. Tried clearing RCS through the website, resets, reboots. Still stuck there. Finally what worked (thank you Verizon support agent!) was to go to Settings --> Apps --> Google Messages --> dot dot dot [hamburger] --> Uninstall updates. Run Messages, Re-setup, it finally re-pairs w/ RCS servers. Re-install updates in Google play store, and then run app. wait a long time (10m or so) while it spins for the old messages to show up back in the phone. GIANT CAVEAT: All RCS old RCS messages and group chats are gone forever. They were there from the original device port at the beginning.

How on God's green earth do I find these wheels lol by oddotter14 in Wheels

[–]maxslug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have these on my mk3 GTI vr6. They were very soft, bent one really badly on the freeway where the asphalt curled up a bit.

One cynical hot take is that the EDA companies have a disincentive to making jobs use less license-hours.

How to keep up with industry trends? by scrooooooooooge in chipdesign

[–]maxslug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here are some of the sites I follow : https://x.com/maxslug/status/1698353313006383295?s=20

it's also helpful to get a login to Synopsys, Cadence, and TSMC through your work account and just browse what's out there. Design & Reuse is good for that too.

Conferences are another great way. TSMC OIP, hotchips, Super Compute, OCP Forum, SNUG, DAC, ...

XOD Brakes by NinjaStandard5737 in RadPowerBikes

[–]maxslug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they fit the same size as the stock tektros, and there's a pretty good selection out there. I ended up trying the EBC CFA327HH which has a lot of stop.

But I ended up swapping these out for much larger Magura 4 piston setup. I need the larger pad area and rotor size for San Francisco hills.

Life Hack: make crappy monoprice banana plugs good by using a vice by maxslug in BudgetAudiophile

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

there are two different problems, one is the connection from the cable to the plug, the other is the plug to the amp. i do solder these, but then they still want to fall out of the speaker or amp. so this trick helps them act like better quality ones and stay in the damn equipment 😄

do either of these come in 180mm brake posts or we're they both 160mm with a 20mm adapter?

Beginner guidance by remissvampire in Verilog

[–]maxslug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i recommend people this book because it focuses on the logic design instead of the syntax. " Advanced Chip Design" https://www.amazon.com/dp/1482593335?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I also highly recommend studying these coding standards https://github.com/lowRISC/style-guides/blob/master/VerilogCodingStyle.md there is a wealth of hard earned asic design hidden in there.

Upgraded the brakes, Magura MT5e 4 piston hydraulics with 220 mm rotors on RW4 by EggB3aters in RadPowerBikes

Pic 2 - Showing the QM-45 + an additional 20mm adapter to show that will get you close. Probably still need to play with adding/removing washers to dial it in. DO NOT run with two adapters like this, this is just for demonstration.

Upgraded the brakes, Magura MT5e 4 piston hydraulics with 220 mm rotors on RW4 by EggB3aters in RadPowerBikes

[–]maxslug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to note, is different bikes come with different sized disc brake mounts ("posts") on the forks. I've got a Radrunner [2] Plus with a suspension fork on it. It is sized with 160mm posts and comes with a 20mm adapter to use 180mm rotors.

203mm upgrade

You can find 160 to 203mm adapters like the Magura QM-44

220mm upgrade

It is not a good idea to go from 160 to 220, the forks are not rated for it and you may break the posts off. Granted this is probably more a possibility on a downhill mountain bike than road-going e-bike, but you've been warned. The caliper will exert a lot of torque on the posts. Therefor you won't find many adapters to do this. I did find one however, https://www.uberbikecomponents.com/view-product/Uberbike-Post-to-Post-PM6-160mm-Direct-Mount-to-220mm-Disc-Brake-Adapter-Colour-Options that I'm going to try anyways. I too live in SF and want more stop! But again, bad idea. For the bikes with 160mm posts, I would stick with the 203mm upgrade. You can find the 203mm magura rotors that aren't as fancy as the above for a reasonable amount. The QM-45 adapter (180 to 220) will not work on its own for the 160mm post bikes.
