It looks interesting. It has nearly twice the audio bitrate of DMR and it has 4 timeslots.

Why do they need an app instead of just using cell tower data? I guess you just take a flip phone then.

with one poster claiming to have received almost $1,800 this week for a TV returned to the retailer in 2018.

Wow, I would have filed a charge back and deleted my account if Amazon did that to me.

The most common grades of neodymium magnets will demagnetize at around 60-80°C. Even if they could handle the temperature, they wouldn't stay in place well since they are smooth.

Epoxy and super glue both work well for gluing the magnets in a hole. Rough up the back side if the magnet so the glue has something to hold on to though.

That's because they keep making the channels wider. Everyone thinks they need 320MHz channels just to stream a movie and now we're back to only having room for 3 non overlapping channels just like on 2.4GHz. They should have limited it to 80MHz channels.

There's always 60Ghz if you really need fast WiFi. It doesn't go through walls, so you won't get any interference from your neighbors.

That's a lot of money for half a case. It's missing all of the drive bays.

It looks weird with 3 fake floppy drives. PCs usually only have one or two.

That's usually just a pin making bad contact with the socket due to oxidation. Reseating all of the tubes usually fixes it. If not, then it's probably a cracked solder joint.

If they move to Discord, nobody will ever be able to find the answers. They must use a website that is indexable by search engines or it will be pointless.

I hate thin laptops. The screens flex when you open them and feel like they are going to break and they don't have enough connectors.

Prebuilt, high end PCs are almost always a waste of money unless you need a bunch of them for a business. They are not hard to build yourself and it doesn't even take very long.

You can get industrial grade CF cards that use SLC memory. They have much better write endurance than normal CF cards.

 

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
