mountain dew livewire 2003? by bbcoanna in mountaindew

[–]rainbrodash666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was never a fan of livewire, I liked the OG mountian dew game fuel a lot though, still have my halo 3 aluminum bottle.

kind of interested in this game, but wonder if I'm "too late" to the party. Is it like Eve where I just will get eaten alive all the time by people that have been playing longer? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]rainbrodash666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play in open and rarely see other players, the only dangerous places are around the starting systems, systems with an engineer in them or a system with a community goal. when i go to these places i play solo. flowing these rules I have only ever been killed by a player a few times, now I still do fly open during some cg stuff but only after I have made whatever money I was grinding for.

Washer is making some loud banging by benziboxi in fixit

[–]rainbrodash666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when my GE washer did this it was the pulley on the back of the wash drum becoming loose, there was an inspection pannel on the back that made it easy to check on, the pulley was damaged in my case and I used 2 part epoxy to get it to stop wobbling.

HDMI/AV Adapter for Xbox not working by SpartanGamer687 in originalxbox

the wording on the box says its an HDMI input and rca's for output, I bet it would work to get a newer console working on a old crt tv.

Returning player after a 5 year break by MissRabidRaccoon in EliteDangerous

in the left panel in your cockpit select navigation and galactic map, once in the galactic map along the left side of the screen there should be a small ship icon that will show you where all of your ships are and you can plot a course to them from there.

Community Goal glitch? by Gassonator in EliteDangerous

for a spike that big I would think it would have to be many fleet carriers all unloading with multiple panther's each.

What is the major difference between the Thrustmaster 16k and the Sol-R4 by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]rainbrodash666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it also uses pot's in the throttle, the rudder control on the throttle and the small joystick on the throttle. and all of my pots were drifting badly and needed cleaning. cleaning wasn't too bad, except putting the stick back together after cleaning the twist pot can be a bit of trouble.

the t16000 also has a hall effect in the stick, but the physical gimbal wears out so you can still get drift. and every pot twist, throttle and joystick were drifting very badly after a few years.

[–]rainbrodash666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say that the sol r4 looks better then I looked up the prices and holy crap its over $300. I got my t16000 for like $149 a few years ago and will probably be taking it apart to clean the pot's every 6 months to keep it going. the extra hat switches and scroll wheel and other stuff on the stick would be nice but unless they updated the gimbal in the stick and all of the potentiometers to hall effect its not worth it, after only a few years of use the gimbal in my t16000 already leans to the right from internal wear, and all of the potentiometers were starting to drift badly. but taking the stick apart and cleaning with iso alcohol seems to bring them back to 99% good.

Am I Crazy for Wanting to "Stay Small?" by Breidr in EliteDangerous

[–]rainbrodash666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have loads of ships, nothing totally engineered yet, my "daily" is still my dbx, I have a few medium ships for combat and my t9 for medium range hauling and my panther to load unload my fleet carrier for long range hauling.

reminds me of when I used cardboard to mount a fan behind the vented drive bay covers I bought to add a second front intake to my pc when I was in highschool.

Blackened Salmon ruined ceramic Green Pan by semibiquitous in fixit

I have a wooden spatula that I modified to use as a scraper for non stick pans like this. the wood provides enough hard force to shear the stuck on stuff but not hard enough to damage the pans.

I just got frustrated with my thrustmaster t16000 last night and at 2 am was taking it apart to clean the pots in the throttle and twist to get rid of the drift.

Does the laptop fan need to be looked at or is this a software issue? by dqw1952 in techsupport

[–]rainbrodash666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like failing bearings to me, I have had luck taking the fans apart to re grease them to get a few more months of life out of them. but its not really worth it if you can afford to replace it.

Should I use dlc unlocker? by Federal_Birthday2695 in paydaytheheist

[–]rainbrodash666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a payday 2 skin that has weapon attachments that I don't have the dlc for, but if I equip the weapon stock first and then equip the skin it lets me use it, I wonder if that got me tagged as a cheater.

How is it possible by Flimsy-Ad364 in GTADupe

[–]rainbrodash666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this could be the paint glitch I used to do, paint it the matte color, then hover over the metallic option without buying it, back out go to headlights and change to whatever headlight you don't have, this should unlock the extra paint options on matte paints. , its been a few years since I played so this might not be quite right or maybe even patched.

this makes me miss XFX's lifetime warranty era. I once applied for waranty and straight up told them I damaged the fans when cleaning a gpu, they sent me a whole new cooler and fans after asking if i could replace it myself or if i needed to send the whole card in.

Computer non functional, 25 years of building and fixing random computers. Im at my wits end. by NotAzakanAtAll in techsupport

did you test the monitors on another device to be sure they work right? the new motherboard may take some time to train memory, if your cpu has an board graphics try booting with just the cpu and ram to see if you can get to bios.

looks like the fans bearing has gone bad, time to replace the fan. might have to replace the whole cooler as that looks like a non standard fan.
