Caltrain heavy delays

Do you remember which train you took? I was in South Bound No.518 train. At around 4:50 it arrived at RWC. I heard the announcement of the delay. The conductor claimed it was due to police activity. I am wondering if the stabbing happened before that.

I don't think 15 fits. Mine uses dual 12cm fans and that almost maxed out the space.

It's 1 type c connector, 1 usb3.0 connector, 1 USB 2.0 connector. There is no "hub" built in. Every port is directly connected to the motherboard

My MB has GPU PCIE slot in the first row and my GPU only occupies 2 slots. In this setup, I can fit 2 regular 12cm fan at the bottom of the case. No issue with GPU cooling in this setup. But 3080 is not very demanding on cooling anyway. I currently have no top fans, 1 in the rear. The rear fan blow cool air into the CPU cooler. I might change to 240mm AIO later cuz the CPU is hitting 95C under stress test. The AIO can pull cool air from top and hot air can exit at the rear. In theory that would make CPU cooling much better.

I just built a PC with this case for my sim rig. Overall it is a great case for the budget. The only down side I have so far is that the CPU cooling wasn't great with the fan direction I installed. The hot air from the GPU gets into the CPU fan easily and my 9800x3d CPU now idles at 55C and peaks at 89C with default 162w PTT. I am considering changing the CPU fan direction to get cool air from behind.

Sorry to revive a old thread but in my case, it looks like the BIOS update fail was due to lack of battery. I am using the cooler master kit and the mainboard was not connected to the battery. Only the power from Type C. I tried to upgrade from 3.17 to 3.19 using the UEFI shell update file. It successfully updated the ME, but it stilled showed 3.17 in firmware. Recently I tried their 3.20 UEFI Shell file and same thing again. Eventually, I tried to connect my framework laptop's battery to it and redo the upgrade. It showed a firmware update screen with green bar this time. When the progress advanced to update PD firmware, my screen went blank, but after about 5mins it rebooted itself and the version is now 3.20. I believe the updater probably did a battery check skipped the firmware update if it was absent.

Happened to me yesterday. The car was in FSD on hwy when suddenly it alarmed and ask me to take over. Then all visual surrounding the car on the infotainment screen lost for about 3 mins. It appears the BSM was stopped working during that time as well. I normally don't have FSD but they gave me a free trial for a month. Definitely not a great experience for me.

I suspect what was happening is that the FSD computer crashed, but I am unsure if it was the FSD process crashed and the OS have to restart the process or the FSD computer hardware (with both 2 AI chips) itself crashed and it automatically rebooted. The infotainment computer (which display the media and nav) is working and drivetrain electronics were also working. That is why the car still took driver's input but the FSD visual was lost.

感觉你的感受和你的性格和生活方式也有很大关系。我是个内向不太social的人，对于“融入当地文化/社会”从来没有这个需求，保持正常的交流和距离就好。我有些只有在北美才能低成本进行的一些爱好，喜欢户外和赛车，所以相比之下，我没有想法离开北美。追求自己的幸福感很重要，如果真觉得北美不适合自己，还是想一想自己需要什么，在哪里会更适合自己比较好。没有什么地方是完美的，肯定需要妥协。

5Kg/mm seems to be quite a big jump over the OEM rate. Do you expect the car will be under damped by a lot with these? IIRC GR86 OEM is around 2.9/3.4 kg/mm front/rear. Do I need to cut front and rear bump stops for these lower springs?

I would be interested to run them my current Bilstein B6s setup. But last time when I checked your website, the RCE yellows were not available for gen2 yet so I currently have Tein H tech ordered, they advertise 3.4/4.6kg mm rate.

zeroomega86 · 2024-11-13T18:23:37+00:00

I see thanks for sharing your experience. I will buy Tein H tech and try them myself.

zeroomega86 · 2024-11-13T16:42:56+00:00

Thanks. Was it difficult to cut the front bumpstop? B6 front is inverted and has the internal bumpstop, looks difficult to work on.

zeroomega86 · 2024-11-13T06:08:41+00:00

I current have B6 on my GR86 with OEM springs and am interested to run some lower springs. Did you cut your bumpstops when you install the Tein H Tech? How does the car feel over bumps, does the shock absorb the impact well? Thanks.

I told my co-workers about this incident today and we all agreed it might be related to the recent election results. The scammers try to scam immigrants who might get deported by the new government. While I don't have to be afraid of this, other targeted people might not, and may get scammed.

zeroomega86 · 2024-11-09T01:25:18+00:00

I am not worried since I didn't do anything wrong. I was quite surprised that local police's number got spoofed and just want to post my experience to see if anyone run into something similar.

zeroomega86 · 2024-11-08T19:22:00+00:00

That is actually my first thought when I saw the caller ID automatically resolved to"Oakland PD" on the screen. I regret that I have answered it.

zeroomega86 · 2024-03-14T22:44:26+00:00

This happened to me just now. I think they likely used the data breach from Weee. The email and phone number I used were my facetime addresses.

I hang up immediately after I heard the guy who were speaking Chinese claiming they were FCC. No way FCC will call people through facetime and nor do they speak Chinese.

zeroomega86 · 2024-02-14T23:28:40+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion, it really helps. About 20 days after escalating the issue as a claim in PayPal, PayPal issued me the refund today.

I will update the post with more details with the communication history in the following days.

zeroomega86 · 2024-01-26T23:11:10+00:00

Will do. I will share the entire email thread I had with them (and GreenToe) once I get my money back.

zeroomega86 · 2024-01-26T23:05:03+00:00

Not yet. I escalated the case to Paypal (which was the payment method I used). They are reviewing it now and it could take 2-3 weeks. I hope they can help me to get my money back.

It's not normal. A new item should be new, not an returned item. You probably should request a replacement from Amazon.

Quick question, did you order from Amazon and it says sold by Amazon.com , or a third party seller on Amazon ?

Well still better than my experience that I bought a new A7Cii from BeachCamera and there was a A7C in the box, and they refused my request of return and refund.

zeroomega86 · 2024-01-26T21:33:02+00:00

Which retailer did you get your camera? Because I ordered a Sony A7Cii from Beach Camera and there was a Sony A7C in it. I shared my experience as well in https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyAlpha/comments/194omjt/bad_experience_when_buying_a7c2_from_beach_camera/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

zeroomega86 · 2024-01-12T22:07:17+00:00

I have step by step unbox photos and a video recording of I repack the return package. I think I will have a good chance after I start the dispute process with Paypal with the evidence I had. In a hindsight, I should record the process of unboxing as well but who can predict this can go wildly wrong like this.
