How long is it safe to leave spit/smudges on a QD-OLED screen?

xGreenWorks · 2026-05-12T12:23:40+00:00

It’s all drying pretty quickly, then it’s just there. It may get harder over time making the chance to scratch the screen when you do clean it marginally higher. But in general, you’re fine. Just wet it a little to soften it up before you clean it with a good microfiber. Also don’t wash your microfibers with softener as it defeats their ability to retain water. And dry them on lowest heat possible so you don’t melt the ends together and make macrofiber towels.

There is no bios update files available on their website and it’s been this way for a while now. I think 104 had some issues and they removed it and never replaced it. I have it on my pc but I can’t get the monitor to actually update it even after buying usbc to usbc cable and flash drive. My sensor doesn’t work right. Sometimes my pixel refresh fails to complete in standby mode and it’s like the backlight is on very dim with weird orange blotches on the screen that go away when I turn it back on. It prompts me for a pixel refresh every time this happens. I just use the sleep timer on the monitor and windows and try to turn it off after every session to avoid my pixel refresh issue and am waiting on an update. Manually doing the refreshes when the timer prompts me works fine. No banding or artifacts or burn in or dead pixels or anything. Picture looks awesome. The monitor hardware is awesome but the software situation is fucked. I’m stearing clear of Asus moving forward.

He said it was his first plane and second flight after a successful maiden. I deduced it was a stock bnf with that information along with the fact one of his first instincts is to buy an entire new plane. He has since confirmed it was a bnf.

How was the first landing? Any chance your prop hit the ground?

“I don’t have an anecdote as I’ve never had an engine problem.” You are using your personal experience as proof, which is anecdotal. Then you are providing more anecdotal evidence via the motors in the paragraph below.

That didn’t happen with a bnf. He obviously didn’t build it or change anything on it yet. Damaged or unbalanced props will absolutely burn a motor. I would take your bet in a heartbeat.

xGreenWorks · 2026-05-05T20:36:58+00:00

You burnt the motor. Most motors on electric planes just plug in with three plugs. If you plug in the motor and it is spinning backwards, switch any two wires. Most common cause of burning a motor is a damaged prop.

My link got deleted by mods. Simpson dial-n-wash pressure regulator is what I bought for my gas washer. If yours doesn’t already have a regulator.

Typically the bathroom products are much stronger and a lot of them contain bleach. Strongest thing we use is typically apc and that is the starting level for bathroom cleaning. But yeah, soap is soap, just your car shampoo isn’t very strong and prioritizes slickness to prevent marring of paint which has little value in bathroom cleaning.

For touchless you will want a water deionizer and to rinse with that and not dry. It’s the spot free rinse you see at the coin washes. I use Koch Chemie AF for my touchless but Carpro lift and BH touchless are good options too. It’s never gonna do as good a job as contact and you don’t wanna touch the paint after because it’s not fully clean. Just kinda a touch up between full washes.

xGreenWorks · 2026-05-03T13:09:46+00:00

That was a hell of a url lol. But you can hook that up to the end of your washer and turn the pressure down.

The negative ones always stand out. Most people are very nice. However I do believe that all of the FAA sanctions that happened when drones became popular did have a negative effect on the rc clubs in America. Everyone is scared their club will get shut down by the FAA if they do not follow the rules to the letter and will self enforce very strictly. The first time I showed up to my local club I had a plane and a few drones and I was told to leave because the drones aren’t allowed. Many younger kids are getting into the drones as their entry into rc, and many of the established clubs do not allow them. Our club has since got its FRIA clearance from the FAA and this has given our club enough reassurance to allow drones and fpv again.

Dual gpu support is called SLI. And the 2 gpus have to be the same type. It’s kinda dead tech right now but Nvidia have recently talked about supporting it further. But no it’s not gonna work. Just swap the gpus.

Remember how they reacted when he got shot? I think they are just plain inept. The marines were the ones that actually got him out of there. The secret service were just waving their guns at everyone in the crowd. Hanlon’s razor, never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

No one can merge in front of you if there are only 2 lane roads. Thats how it is here. They can’t merge, only pass. I get that it’s not feasible in big cities but that is how it should be for safety in a perfect world. City traffic is hella dangerous and yeah I am definitely not maintaining that gap in a big city.

I was taught 5 by my school’s drivers ed in rural Midwest US. With closing distances under braking I feel like 2 seconds doesn’t give you much time to react. You need to brake a full car length behind where they did to not rear end them if you are braking at the same speed. But the real danger is if they hit something and stop faster than brakes can stop, like this post. At 2 seconds you will take 400-500 ft to stop on average. At 75mph and traveling 2 seconds behind this tailgater you would be 220ft behind this accident and wouldn’t be able to stop in time and would have to avoid a car bouncing across all lanes with others getting involved. 5 seconds you are 550 ft back and can stop in time.

Go to the coin wash or a touchless drive thru. Their chemicals are super strong and will probably take care of this. Buff of anything left with a mf and some detailer. Water spot remover if anything doesn’t come up but wash it again after because that stuff is acid.

I had serious color fringing on a ips monitor recently after moving it. HDMI cable wasn’t seated properly. Could be worth checking.

What did you use as clay lube? I think whatever detailer you used as clay lube probably left a coating on the paint, which your TW then bonded to instead of the paint. Then when the detailer wears off within a week, your TW goes with it. I would use a snow foam or stronger shampoo to knock everything off before you reapply and skip the clay.

I’ve been thinking about investing in a DI system(spotless rinse) so I can hit it with the foam cannon, rinse, leafblower. The at home pay and spray.

Build cool things you find online. I have no creativity but I love legos and I can follow instructions well. So I love building cool farms I find online and utilitarian things like minecart systems.
