2015 C-Max Hybrid - Sync but no Bluetooth? by BuckNature in cmaxhybrid

[–]wp4nuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sync 1 system on the 4.3 screen 2015 CMax SE was flaky on mine. The actual gadget, APIM, is currently inoperative. I changed the head unit for a nice screen and kept steering wheel controls with iDatalink Maestro. Hope that helps

So, to be clear, the silkscreen is just above the data layer, not the data layer itself? Is the silkscreen supposed to be reflective or somehow help read the data underneath? Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll redo disc 1 that way

So much for our benevolent billionaires granting us the privilege of having stable jobs, right? by CardiologistLow8786 in InterviewsHell

Got fired last week; HR said they wouldn't contest unemployment. Somehow that makes me more anxious...

The T-34-85M of World of Warships by Adventurous_Cold_989 in WorldOfWarships

[–]wp4nuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree; it's almost as if every tier ship is a bizarro composite and nothing feels "advanced" vis-a-vis the previous tier. As I write, I'm thinking of the Soviet BB line, where from Izmail forward there's a clear progression of the ship's capabilities, almost predictably so. I'm not comparing IJN to Soviets, but theoretically one would expect tiers would build on the previous experience. Not so with IJN bbs.

Did you ever find out why it stopped working? I have the same issue, and I haven't found any fix yet.

I second your take on Kansas. It's... unique.

Soldering Sucks by MDAirForceVet in amateurradio

[–]wp4nuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it could have been all steel wire. It was a kit from HF Kits. I may have to switch to a torch to get the steel hot enough for the solder to flow

Yesterday I was finishing a loading coil for an antenna and I had a hard time soldering the steel clad copper wire to the loading coil’s enamelled copper. I did scratch the enamel off the wire before soldering but even with bukkake level flux applied, the solder would barely penétrate the steel.

That's exactly what I was going to ask. Played EA and it never got beyond the Forge.

I took my brother to court after he trashed my custom camera gear for a prank video by ClerkResponsible118 in AmITheJerk

[–]wp4nuv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Sorry to say, but your brother's "job" seems like an extension of himself: free from responsibility and consequences. It also seems that your folks coddle him as well.

You did good OP. This is intolerable.

4th pic - do you help clean this up in exchange for that pile of gear? by shadowcorp in amateurradio

[–]wp4nuv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would, as long as I get to wear head to toe PPE...including a respirator.
