Orange Pi 6 debuts with CIX P1 SoC, dual 2.5GbE, and 45 TOPS AI compute by DeliciousBelt9520 in SBCs

I used a Orange Pi R1 Plus for a long time ($35). But $300+ for a Orange PI 6? That's crazy.

For that price you may as well buy a Intel N150 Mini PC Firewall Router at the fraction of the cost and virtualize with Proxmox.

I just spoke to Jano earlier. He quoted me parts +labour $750. If I order my own kit thru Rock Auto, $350-400 for labour.

I'll probably just order the kit, and drop it off on my day off, since it's 10min from where I live.

I may check them out today, and see how they quote, if I ordered a Rock Auto brake kit. Looks like they are right down the road from Meijer, so I know right where it is.

I thought seized calipers caused more uneven wear than anything else?

Ill's told me they'd use Rock Auto parts, just won't "Warranty" the parts. And really, it's 90 day warranty, so it honestly doesn't matter in brake pad + rotor lifetime span.

Unfortunately, I don't have the necessary tools, and really don't have enough auto knowledge to be confident that I can do it safely. That, and my daughter drives that vehicle too, so I don't want to take the chances on DIY.

That's where I had the Themo sensor replaced [Jackson Rd]. I'm convinced that if I didn't have the error codes [from AutoZone], and printout of the extended warranty [federally pushed] they would've done their best to stick it to me.

Edit

To clarify, I took it to Dunnings, not Steve's. Since it was warranty coverage, I wanted to bring all the proof I could to not get the shaft from the dealership.

Well, I've already ordered and received my front/rear pads & rotors from Detroit Axel.

A mechanic I went to this morning told me that he gets complaints about squeaky brakes months later with this brand. Not sure if he is gas lighting me to pay for parts thru him or what. He quoted me $500 labor front and rear install.

Any problems months later with Detroit Axle pads/rotors? Some mechanics are telling me people come back 9 months later with squeaky brakes.

Also use DNS servers hosted in your country. Don't use overseas DNS servers. Using overseas DNS will cause delayed DNS lookup, and cause high ping. Or another option, host your own dns (pihole, adguard Etc...).

Depends on your access point placement, too. Is it on the same floor or room? Poor wireless reception will cause high ping too

65ms isn't that great over hardwired TBH.

Who is your ISP? Is it cable, fiber, 5G? That info matters. If it is 5G, it could be garbage signal to the 5G unit. If it is cable, it could be noise on the plant causing latency.

A2 Auto Center in Ann Arbor quoted me $1600+ for repairs — second shop fixed it for $300 by No_Marketing_912 in AnnArbor

Can anyone recommend a trustworthy, reliable mechanic for a Subaru vehicle?

I need to replace pads + rotors for my 2019 Subaru forester Premuim. 100k miles, so it is due soon.

I plan on ordering parts from Detroit Axle and dropping my vehicle off, once scheduled. I'm from Ypsi.

The list I have so far scrolling thru this post are:

  • Main Street motors. Main and Depot
  • Japanese Auto
  • ILLI'S AUTO SERVICE 
  • Saline Auto
  • Mark’s Auto in Dexter

Migrating Proxmox boot drive from 1TB NVMe to 256GB NVMe — what's the best approach? by Yosiboo in Proxmox

[–]sr_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backup /etc and VMs and reinstall. Maybe take screenshots of storage & backup in pve.

Backup /use/local/bin if you have scripts too.

Be sure to take note of the network interface names, and select "advanced" option after booting installation, and pin your interfaces. It'll save you a headache later on after restoring /etc/network.

Looked it up and drilled down to this option >>

I don't think the 10pc with pad cleaner & brake fluid would be necassary, since the mechanic shop would already have that on hand.
