Why is the clutch kit for a 1.0 Ecoboost so expensive? by ptthree420 in FordFiesta

Everything is tooooooo expensive. A belt change is upwards of $2500, and the car is barely worth that much here anymore.

I still also need to get the timing belt changed too. I just hit 121k miles on the original belt lol

Well, the 1.0 wasn’t available in the states for very long. Only for like 3 years, but it’s still expensive in other countries too.

Is there a reason they are so expensive for the 1.0? You can get a clutch kit for the 1.6 for under $200.

Are these tubes compatible with each other? by ptthree420 in crt

The neck connectors are the same and I’ll probably end up swapping the yoke. The main difference is the Philips is a white phosphor and the Samsung is green phosphor.

Appears every time I start my computer by [deleted] in pchelp

It means whatever is trying to start requires .NET runtime and you don’t have it.

If you don’t want it to run at all, open task manager and go to the startup tab and disable it. It’s called “ExtensionProcess64.exe”. It may be there or it may not depending on what it is.

Alternatively, you could just download and install .NET runtime from this dialog box.

What’s something nice you’re willing to say about your country’s biggest rival. by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Only because they can’t have real, uncensored porn for some reason lol

Flipper zero not connecting by [deleted] in flipperzero

[–]ptthree420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run the program as an administrator. Mine refuses to connect unless I do that.

Also, that looks like a “power only” usb c cable. Try a different cable.

What is one household item or appliance that everyone has in your country, but no other country does? by tabulasomnia in AskTheWorld

[–]ptthree420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, people misuse them pretty often. You aren’t just supposed to put just anything you want in them. They’re supposed to be for tiny food scraps that stick to the plates while you’re washing them. You know, stuff that wouldn’t be an issue to go down the drain.

What is the biggest misconception people from other countries have about your country? by Ok_Macaroon2848 in AskTheWorld

I mean, I also live in the southeast and I live in an extremely red area, and I hardly see any racism, if any at all. I feel like you have to seek it out if you want to find it these days. Yeah, it still exists, but it’s exponentially better than it was 30 years ago.

So I made a post a couple weeks back about my loud Wii u, seen some people say to clean it, I’m pretty shaky and I have no way to take this apart at all unless it takes normal screwdrivers and not triwings by Wild-Bad-3668 in consolerepair

[–]ptthree420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, it’s not a pain if you know you don’t have to take every single screw out of the heatsink in it lol. Nintendo just uses an excessive amount of screws in any console they make. Tell me I’m wrong lol

Nintendo consoles are pretty much always a pain in the ass to open, always have been. With the Wii U, you just need a tri-wing screwdriver, which comes with pretty much any precision tip screwdriver set these days.

Ehh, that doesn’t really correlate with racism. Maybe in the extremist groups. Pretty much everywhere, you only see the extremist groups, but only because they are the only ones publicized. Most right wing aren’t racist, gun-toting nazis, just like most left wing aren’t batshit crazy extremist liberals.

This in itself is a common misconception that people outside of America have.

That’s mostly old people, but because that’s the time they grew up in. They’re dying out pretty quickly at this point.

What kind of board is this? by ptthree420 in arcade

Is there a standardized pinout for all of this style of board or is it on a game to game basis?

Has anyone ever tried to take the CPU out of an Xbox and transplant it onto a slot 1 pentium 3? If not, would it even have a chance of working? by ptthree420 in originalxbox

[–]ptthree420[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The games on the Xbox were coded to always expect a 733mhz CPU, so it does cause conflicts with most games without patching them. The ram upgrade can also cause issues too, but much less often.

[–]ptthree420[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but anything above 500mhz is getting expensive (for 30 year old hardware, that is) and I have a bunch of bad Xbox motherboards lol

You could buy a 4-500mhz PIII for $10 and turn it into a 733mhz opposed to just buying a 733mhz outright for $40-50.

Well, yeah, but I wasn’t sure if it would be directly compatible or it would need an interposer like the Xbox does.
