HD650

But only $80 more ($220 vs $300) and IMO the Sennheiser sounds better.

The quality on my HE400i did dissapoint. The cables developed static when moving within a month and the foam earcup came off within 6 months of daily use. The sound is great, but I'll be going back to Sennheiser next time I buy.

I try to get one screw through some hole somewhere, but double-sided tape is fine. If the case isn't going to move, I've had them dangling for years without issue ;) Of course, the proper solution is to M.2 and not worry about cables/mounting at all.

Entire event scrubbed. Still exploring, but the project does not have any priority. Quite a bit of the equipment was purchased, so low-level tinkering will continue.

Who else is looking forward to going to work on the 25th?

I was doing full-on ASIC mining, about 8kw worth ;) Sold the hardware when it was still worth something. At the time new generations of hardware were coming fast.

I don't imagine I'm the only one that always does a bit of research and has the options front of mind. For the last few months the car hasn't been registered, so I knew it would be time soon. The three options I had on my short list were a lightly-used 2017 S3 for $41k, a moderately used 2015...

I stopped mining quite a while ago, though I still hold a fair amount.

Whelp, the A3 was cited for no reg (can't be registered in CA). I've now registered for non-operation, and it is for sale if anyone is interested. New car is a '16 VW GTI Autobahn with DSG and an APR Stage 1 ECU and TCU tune. Yes, all this happened today.

This is storageforum.net: "SF". Before this place existed, many of us were members of another place; storagereview.com "SR". This is what Lunar was talking about.

Once there are 4k (either flavor) at 120hz, I'll be getting 6 (two per machine) and whatever GPUs are required. I don't think I'll bother with an upgrade before then.

I was 15 when I joined SR. I'm 37 now ;)

Still pretty happy with my 2x 1080 until I can get better than 60hz @ 4k or next-gen VR headsets come out.

Congrats! My 9-year was on the 4th.

For parts it looks like about $20k, the labor is a bit of a question. I'm fortunate enough to have friends who are retired professional fabricators and race car engineers, who have the facilities, tools, and skills to do that part of the job well and for beer money. The electrical is pretty...

Still working on convincing the Mrs, but it is looking good so far. At the moment I'm just wondering if the controller supports dual-motor operation; the suspension/chassis seems to have room for one front and rear. As far as battery goes, there is certainly enough room to add what I'd like. I'm...

Yup, I watch him. The shop I've been looking at seems to work with him.

Yup. That is why I got the covered ones, but they aren't thermally stable.

I've used channel similar to this before, but it makes it more difficult to waterproof. Clear Epoxy in the channel?

The LEDs themselves. They are mounted on thin, flexible circuit board with nearly no ability to sink or dissipate heat. Evaluating possible options now.

Hmm......http://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=8&products_id=476

The car feels much faster than that, but there was wheelspin to about 35mph (all 4; was slipping down the crown of the road a bit). Got the CEL fixed, but it still won't pass the "visual inspection", or the fact that the 2nd O2 sensor is bypassed, or some other stuff. Kinda gave up on that...

(not warmed up, poor surface, usual excuses)

Still driving it, still awesome. Though with the bigger turbo the power doesn't really come on until the speed is....uncomfortable.

Mainly the smaller total volume. Being able to carry it in a smaller bag means being able to have it with me more often.

I'm pretty sure mirrorless better fits my new usage pattern (closer to a P&S, but not willing to give up features). So the question is whether I should unload all my Canon gear and go Sony, or hold off until the Canon mirrorless arrives and keep the glass.

Entirely reasonable to ignore our suggestions; we are a very different type of user than you are. My screen is on probably 3 hours a day, so spending more makes sense for me. With your usage profile $250 seems the right price.

I have had a second phone for about 3 weeks now, S8+ on Sprint (loaner, they want our business). I really don't like how narrow the screen is, and the fingerprint reader is in the wrong spot, and the amount of bloat Samsung puts in their phones (Bixby? Really?) seems to slow the thing down. For...

So far it is working fine, but I am still struggling with the logistics of delivering enough power to the strip for full operation. Thermals are also an issue. It seems they were engineered for ~10% utilization. With less than that I can drive 20m worth off a single wall-wart without issue. Once...

I really like the V30. Great improvement over the G5 I had before.

The metal mesh might have a hard time with the tape, not a lot of surface area available. Contact cement is an interesting idea; is there a foam-melting concern there as well?

The trick is it needs to work with the metal mesh, foam inner, and leather(ish) outer at the same time. No CA because of the foam. Hot glue? Epoxy of some kind?

...and earlier reports of poor quality on HiFiMan equipment....totally on-point. The foam ear-cup on my 400i has separated completely. I'm sure I can just glue it back on, but c'mon....

It matters if you want to speculate on the amount of the increase.

On a pair of HD650 right now, and I'm quite happy with them. Lighter and slimmer than others I have of the same sound quality.

I've heard the 48v thing before, which is why I stopped there. Finding bigger step-down transformers might be the right play; running two strips off each would simplify the wiring. Finding 40A units might be tricky. I tried to avoid the 120AC for the same reason, it would require considerable...

I think I have this right, just asking for a once-over to make sure. I plan to run many of these 5-meter addressable RGB LED strips. Spec states 18W/m power draw (so 90W per strip). In my testing, I've connected two of the strips directly together and let power flow through the whole thing...

It was in the 80s last week and 40s this week. I think summer may finally be over.

Interesting. Which is more significant, the reduced likelihood of AMD going bankrupt, the possible performance gains, or the collapse of competition in the CPU market? I think the latter. :(

One of the advantages of a pre-built NAS is the finer points like this.

I abandoned FF for Chrome about 8 months ago. I'm ok changing, but don't do it on a whim (too lazy). That was when I was finally tired of performance/stability issues.

In the BIOS should be a setting that allows some of the USB ports to work for key/mouse even without OS support. Typically the two where the PS/2 ports used to go.

This is why I'm torn between the printer and the mill. The printer is much more accessible and cheaper, but not everything should be made of plastic. Likely it will just be to allow me to rapid prototype before sending the model off to a company for manufacture in something more sturdy. It will...

Very timely for me, also considering one. Along with a mill and 3d scanner.

Indeed. Typically, for me, me spending time in the garage is productive time. Anything that encourages me to spend more time in the garage is a good thing. Making it bright certainly helps.

We are a family of three (Wife, kid, me). Therefore we only need one car that can seat 3, and one that can seat my kid and I. Bolting a child seat into the back of the cage seems entirely legit.

Not a legal vehicle. Almost certainly a full race car with a tubular chassis and lightweight shell. But on that note my current daily isn't entirely legal in this state anyway....

Snowhiker, just saw your video above. Excellent daily driver, IMO.

Indeed. "Not worth the cost" is subjective. Certainly a better value than the second Titan XP.
