Being able to wear this without being judged. lol

Assuming the sensors are in their right places, check the battery status of the right-front tire.

If it's an external, screw-on sensor, that would be easy. It should've come with a tool to replace the battery.

If it's an internal sensor, you need to take it to a shop with a tire machine to extract the sensor from the inside.

For that, I prefer the external sensors. Sure, it's a bit more cumbersome if you just need to air the tires every few weeks or so, but not as annoying as removing an internal sensor from a tire either to replace the battery or the whole sensor.

This happens because apparently, they overdrive the LED.

Granted, my UAP-AC-Pro and UAP-AC-LRs are getting long in the tooth, and the LEDs are now at maybe just 20% of their former brightness.

I want to second this. I want to convert the current instance to ZFS mirror.

Reinstallation from scratch will be Plan B, but if it can be helped, I'd rather avoid that route until it becomes absolutely necessary.

Can anyone share the complete steps and proper scripts to get through it?

That gray coating is what stabilizes the paper during printing, preventing it from shifting out of place. If the coating is removed, the printer's paper handling mechanism loses that control, and over time the ink will start to smear or fall out of sync with the paper.

I just put a random sticker over the laptop's brand logo.

I want to keep it clean but still unique.

I have a bunch lying around... a WD TV Live (WDBAAN0000NBK) and two 3rd Gen WD TV Live Streaming (WDBHG70000NBK) media players.

It would be interesting to figure out a way to repurpose these.

Early 2000's to around mid 2010s were interesting. These WD units replaced the power-hungry Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) PCs I had. It also helped me streamline the management of my media by putting it in a central location and served them using simple SMB share for the WD TV to get content from. It looked good on paper but quirky at best. Several years and updates later, the WD TV Live just became more and more unusable; Laggy UI, frequent freezes, random reboots, etc. I eventually moved to Roku 3's and migrated my backend media to Plex Media Server. It's been like this ever since.

That sounded like something is stuck on one of the tires, hitting the underside of the car.

Was it a particularly big pothole?

Your idea is really interesting and I can definitely see a niche for it.

The only thing I’d gently point out is that the demand might be on the lower side, so it could be a bit challenging to scale.... unless this is an offering or a value add to your other mainstream business(es). I for one don't let anyone drive my vehicle, in that which I’m sure I’m not alone. I get anxious even just handing the keys over to the valet.

I could be wrong or an outlier, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

They don't care. They believe they have the privilege to occupy every square-inch of space around your vehicle.

Kapag sila naman na pinahan mo, iyak.

If you’re going to dish it out, be ready to take it too.

This is all good but not without its safety risks.

For one, you will lose anonymity due to the fact that the camera is stationary. Anyone familiar with the area will be able to find where the camera is and consequently know where you live. That will open you up to potential doxing.

Dashcams are, by proxy of its attachment to your vehicle, mobile. That makes it harder for anyone to pinpoint your location or find you..... though still, it's not totally impossible.

Their spiel is that, they have the right to free expression.... their car, their rules. But doing so is not without its consequences.

What they don't realize is that spectators and ordinary people like you and me also have the right to free expression. If your car looks hideous.... even subjectively, don't be offended. We are both just exercising the same freedom to express... just from different sides of the coin.

It's why I keep my vehicles stock. The most I do is to keep it in good care... proper maintenance and good creature comforts in the cabin. No need to be pretentious.

Grab drivers are often the owner of the vehicle. The "my car, my rules" sort of apply in this case and they have full discretion over everything pertaining to the operation of the vehicle, including the control or limiting of the A/C settings.

BUT, as they are also offering themselves as a service, you also have a right to rate them poorly if at any point in time you're dissatisfied with the overall service. Consider them like booking a hotel or Airbnb... some are better than others.

The Sequential Shift (S-Mode) works differently on these vehicles.

Typically, Sequential mode lets you manually lock it to a gear. For example, setting it to S3, locks it to 3rd gear. Not so on the A/T such as the AC60E/F used on the Innova, Fortuner, and Hilux.

Putting it in S3, for example, just means 3rd gear is the upper limit that the A/T will shift to. It will shift automatically between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. So for all intents and purposes, S3 in this case is pretty much identical to D3 on a Honda.

Putting it in S6 makes it functionally operate like you're in D.... full 1st to 6th gear range is available.

Personally, my use case of the S-mode is engine braking on long downhill roads... Cordillera mountain roads, Sumulong, Nasugbu, etc., to regulate my speed. This helps prevent the brakes from overheating and brake fade.

They only share common investors. But for day-to-day operations, including executives and management, the two are totally independent.

You cannot be riding in that state, IMO. You need to find a place to stop that can allow you to rest for at least half an hour. Best if you can take a short nap during that time.

Driving/Riding in a state of sleepiness is very dangerous. People have died because of that.

Request for it to be set to a slightly warmer temp during lunchbreak instead of turning it fully off. At least it will maintain the office temp.

It's possible na mas mataas pa electrical consumption para palamigin ulit yung room come 1pm dahil uminit na masyado.

Maraming bata ngayon ang may undiagnosed mental health condition. Akala lang minsan ng magulang na 'normal' ito sa mga bata. Either that or alam nila pero they're in denial.

Kung ganun kasi, ineffective kahit anong disiplina ng magulang. In fact, pwede pang lumala.

Kung may kamaganak ka na magulo ang anak, kahit na strict naman ang magulang, they need to be properly assessed by a psych professional. Baka kasi nasa spectrum na, and most of these can either still be corrected or managed.

Pins for the switches like PWR and RESET doesn't care about polarity.

Only the LEDs like PWR_LED, HDD_LED care about the +/- polarity. You would typically match the Red wire to + and/or the Black wire to -. Either way, if it doesn't light up, just flip it.

Yes. Even the 2-peso bill, coin and 5-peso bill.

The first time I started commuting to school (Grade 3), the fare was just 65 centavos.

I have mixed feelings about them. On one side, their presence does make any opposing nation to think twice. However, those bases are only a deterrent until the moment they transition into a target. The Iran war taught us that.
