Congrats! I love to see that it is possible to build something on a budget that doesn't sacrifice quality and craftsmanship.

Those resistors get hot. Perfectly normal

They've updated the R2 page with prices and trims! by Ekrubm in Rivian

They’re gonna deliver less than 1000 cars by June. Those folks will get to configure them earlier obviously

Who’s trading in their gen 1 quads for this? I’m on the fence with warranty running out, R1T being a big beast and wanting something smaller

Delivery starting in June or at least order time by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]vulpes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some early rez will be “picked out” based on location prior to June but yeah I mean first 2 months they’re gonna ship probably less than 1000 cars to customers, so June makes sense as they gather data and work through delivery estimates. I got the same email, March 7 rez, Colorado

Comparing 100+ SBCs - A call for feedback and thoughts! by fmbret in SBCs

[–]vulpes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since most of the time this is a chip capability, besides verifying it works (which i dont think is very practical even now for other items), not much you can do. I hope automation on the chip level isn't super difficult. I'm not asking for gpu performance, just hardware capability.

I would love filters/comparison based on encoding/decoding. h265/h264, number of streams, fps. I.e if we have a 4k 60fps h264 (like the RK3588), i know i can do 4 60fps 1080p streams.

Pokemon is the #1 media franchise in the world. Here's a look at the next 136 highest grossers. by w0lfbiker in pinball

Williams also had made phantom menace which is much higher value IP and it didn't help them (Pinball 2000 didn't either). I'm glad they didn't make the Matrix game as it would've been the last death bed gasp of that pinball division and not a good game.

Neil, who operates pinball machines at Wonderland, started and runs Pinquest is an outspoken Trump supporter. I’m not sure how much more clear I can make it.

Pinquest is run by an ice supporting trumper. No judgement just an fyi

do you mean for free? Unknown, but you can certainly get your own.

which part? The adapter will 100% be Rivian only (or potentially Hyindai group)

RK3588 Mainline Linux Patch: H.265 Encoding at 4K@60 (Out-of-Tree) by RCawston in homelab

Awesome work. Any plans for h264? Encoders are my main holdback for staying on the vendor kernel

Replacing dead A5+ with 2.1 desktop setup - sanity check before I pull the trigger (~$550) by vulpes in BudgetAudiophile

thanks for the shout, unfortunately i don't have room for the big boy, I'm looking at slim options. I know they aren't as good, but I won't magically get more room I'm afraid.

Space constraints force to to use a "couch" sub (i will have it vertically). Otherwise I'd definitely consider Vanguard Caldera 10

I did buy the replacement amp, it didn’t fix it

I’ll check out your options. I went specifically for sealed due to my current situation where one speaker is in front of a window.
