I'm on a committee for a non-profit and put this sheet together just to show people what costs would be for various gaming setups. The goal is to build a gaming community and eventually have big tournaments and possibly fundraising events.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

A loose cow on the University of Illinois campus isn't the only thing turning heads. So is a "couch car." Two engineering students created it for an end-of-t...

I've been looking at marketplace for a small car with good gas mileage that I can get cheap. I don't mind doing work to it like replacing a clutch or dealing with a head gasket or engine replacement. The trouble I'm having in my area ( Midwest United States) is that either mileage is well into the 200k range, price is unrealistic so I won't bother trying to reason with them, the car is more of a headache than it's worth (Chevy Cruze) or there's more than one issue like transmission problem plus body damage. I could go up in price under $10k but I don't see the up side in spending that much to get better gas mileage unless the car can go at least another 5-10 years.

I bought a cheap Hantek 6022BE to learn with and I'm just trying to measure some voltage to check if it's accurate. I'm using openhantek6022 https://github.com/OpenHantek/OpenHantek6022 and also hscope on android. I'm measuring a 19v laptop power supply with the 10x setting on the probe and also a set of leads with a 20x attenuator. When I measure the power supply with my dmm I'm getting 19.22V with the scope I'm getting much higher or lower depending on where I set the voltage per division. Both programs have a calibration function which I did.

20x attenuator showing 19.6v

10x probe showing 20v

10x probe with 2v per division setting only showing 9.81V

Hscope showing 19.9v

I've been having the ABS/Traction control lights come on at random times on the highway. I made a video walking through some of the diagnostic process. Sorry for the quiet audio. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

I decided to start documenting all of the repairs I'm having to do on an 09' Dodge Grand Caravan. It has quite a few issues at the moment, fortunately everything is cheap and easy to repair on these. I'm mostly going to focus on the diagnostic aspects as all of these repairs are well documented already. Hopefully it's useful content to someone. Cheers.

Really cool feature, I'll just have to live with my mistake.

I know how to tie shoes, but these can't be tied. Size 9.5, perfectly average.

This has been happening since yesterday. This happens after a few seconds of trying to load.

It just started happening today where everything including the sidebar is tiny.

I like to sort by new on my frontpage feed, but I sort by top six hours on all. Would be nice not to have to change it when switching between them.

On a job application site for my local government it reveals if a specific social security has been used or not on that site. The site is very outdated.

The Xbox 360 just had it's 20th anniversary. I'm not sure how I feel about it as a console today as most of the games are available on pc with only a few exclusives. I guess most of the nostalgia will be from playing online, which I never got the chance to do.

Little Creep is having a Thanksgiving dinner and you’re invited! Belly up to the table and get a heaping helping of some vintage Thanksgiving commercials!

I'm always struggling to desolder high heat circuit boards like pc motherboards because they used high heat solder. Sometimes I can get it hot enough that I can mix in some lower temp solder but it's always a pain. I've also used my rework hot air at 500* plus the soldering iron at 500* and gotten it, but that's a pain as I only have two hands. Right now I'm replacing the Nec/Tonkin caps on a ps3. Fortunately removal is simple with a chisel, but getting the pads ready for soldering is a huge pita.

I can't remember exactly when I created the community but the oldest post is a year old and recently it passed 3k subscribers. Thanks for keeping it dull lads.
