Nice little project, I inputted the dimensions of a engine I've been building (b20-vtec) and it estimated 160whp which sounds low but I also can't set up my cams properly because i…

Can confirm, we used to play it in the high school I went to around 2012 because it was one of the few games that the network filters didn't block.

Niche forums are still alive and well. I run a blog and like to write about projects but it's hard to get feedback there unless you're willing to moderate comments. As a work aroun…

> Cool - you mean like the CNC I have sitting next to the printers? Which this legislation doesn't cover? Other states like Colorado have similar bills that define a "3d printer" a…

I'm a big fan of FreeCAD and have been using it to design and sell 3d printed parts. The learning curve was kinda steep because FreeCAD really wants you to things the "FreeCAD way"…

> Can you even make a firearm in plastic? Yes but most designs still require metal bits. Typically the frame will be 3d printed and then you rely on machined components for things …

That won't work. Windows won't let you finish the installation process unless you connect to the internet so you can't get the PC to a point where you could install the drivers.

Hopefully it settles down soon. DDR4 prices are climbing now as well since more people are sticking with it. I'd love to build a new desktop soon but I couldn't justify the cost an…

Congrats! Seeing an old version of MC makes me nostalgic.

My sample size is small but the usual reason I hear from non-technical individuals is that they want the best camera possible.

You can make lithophanes with 3d prints. I don't know about anyone else but that's what I thought this post would be about.

Typically ICE cars will offer variants of the "same" motor with different cams or pistons or even cylinder heads for the higher hp models alongside that better tune though.

Car phones weren't common place and were typically only available in some higher end luxury cars. I wouldn't exactly call that lots of cars.

I'm not the one blaming consumers here. Sorry to hear about your Grandmother but just because someone has an Iphone doesn't mean the scammers will give up. They'll just pick anothe…

> It's your phone that you bought from Apple with full knowledge of the restrictions beforehand. If you wanted a phone with more freedom you could have bought another device and vo…

Semi-agree. I've had 2 mx525s fail within ~6 months of purchase but I've also had a mx anywhere 2s that I bought used and got 3 years of usage out of it before I had to replace the…

A desktop app for analyzing Node.js heap dumps. I've had to hunt down some for work and I feel like the tooling could be improved.

I know every dealer is different but I've worked at several and never heard of gps trackers for inventory purposes. Dealers don't usually kept track of where the cars are very well…

Why can't it be both? You can work hard and the business can still flop due to things outside of your control. I started a business a year before Covid hit. I worked hard and did m…

Personally I just write about things I'm interested in talking about. I do a lot of in-depth car project posts and since I like to hang out on car specific subreddits I'll drop a l…

It's okay because once the water evaporates its backup in the cloud.

Marqus: https://github.com/EddieAbbondanzio/marqus It's yet another markdown based note taking app. I wanted something that gave as much screen real estate to the note's content vs…

Lol, manuals can be equipped with remote start too. Hopefully it wasn't left in gear.

Yup, some engine's are designed for it. Usually for performance reasons if the engine is boosted or high compression.

I went the lazy route and host a static website on Github pages. I don't advertise my blog but it's gets about 20-30k views a year through random searches. Hosting on platforms lik…
