2024.05.19 15:26 pauladeanlovesbutter All of my dashboard lights are on. I've brought the car in twice
2019 Honda CRV. 56k miles.
Hello everyone. As the title says, All of my dashboard lights are on.
Last weekend all of my dashboard lights popped up. I went to auto zone to get it diagnosed. It came back as a piston one misfire code. I brought it to the mechanic. Mechanic replaced all of my spark plugs and the ignition coil. Lights go off, car runs fine.
The next morning I remote start the car. It goes, but then shuts off a minute into it. All of the lights return. I bring it back to the mechanic. He looks at it, hooks it up to the computer, road tests it, everything is fine. Doesn't charge me for the follow up. Says if it comes back on to bring it back monday. Lights go off. I did a decent amount of driving for a few days, everything is fine.
This morning I turn on the car, the lights come back on. I go back to autozone for a diagnostic...it comes back as a piston one misfire. I explain I had it repaired. Autozone guy asked if it is a duralast engine coil. Turns out that it was indeed a duralast one. He says that may be the issue as they had people bring those back. He listed some OEM parts (don't know what this means) but said not to use after market parts. He suggested I go to the dealership to purchase an ignition coil, go back to my mechanic, and have him put it in.
EDIT: Autozone said they have Hitachi OEM rated ignition coils

- Does this make sense?
- Do I have to go to the dealer? They are closed today?
- Can I purchase another type of coil and if so what would be a good one/where can I get it?

2024.05.19 14:11 daviddjpearl Plastic Wrapper on LiR2450s
Hey, folks
I recently picked up these cells to replace some CR2450s, and they came with a plastic wrapper around the outer edge that I've never seen before on a coin cell. Included in the attached pictures, you'll see the batteries, the Engrish warning from the manufacturer that doesn't quite make sense to me, as well as the device that the battery will be installed into.
I'm asking because I charged these cells up and installed, correctly, into the device (remote) and they didn't work. It's my understanding that LiRs are a suitable replacement for CRs even though the former has a higher voltage rating and lower capacity. I also noticed in the device there are two prongs that would contact the edge of the battery, and my guess is they are just for tension to keep the battery in place. The only other thing that came to mind was a ground connection but that doesn't make sense and shouldn't matter in the first place.
Am I missing anything?

2024.05.19 14:09 --TheSkyLord-- My Experience with Missions
I had a strange relationship with deconstruction as my dad was trained at a university level to do apologetics. He was an LDS chaplain in the Army, and every night for scripture study, we got discourses on the nuances of our faith and justifications for every question we ever had. I didn’t swear until I was 18 years old, or drink caffinated anything until about that time as well, because it was never a matter of justification. It was what my family, my tribe, my people did, to go to church on Sunday, and to be worthy. I was senior patrol leader and assistant to the bishop if that clarifies who I was. I didn’t have “God will reveal it in due time” parents. I had “Here’s the answer, here’s contemporary discussion about it. Here’s some reading material if you want to learn more” parents, except for they were wicked smart, and had biased conclusions.
I was called to serve in the Mexico City East mission. Shortly before opening my mission call, I broke up with my girlfriend at the time. i left BYU-I and went home to prepare. I received my endowments after lying to my stake president about my worthiness to enter the house of the lord. I came clean, and he threatened to not let me go out for a year because I was unclean. The prick made me talk to a therapist to be cleared for the mission field. The therapist had a brain and let me go out. When I was giving my mission farewell speech, I wrote it to include the teachings of many religions in it. I had drawn inspiration from the 13th article of faith “We believe all things, hope all things-“ and wrote a poem about how Adam and Eve related to the Resurection and Atonement of christ. My dad tells me the stake president was shifting in his seat like he wanted to pull me down from the pulpit. Prick.
The CCM was a pleasure to attend because of my district. The guys in my district there held a secret thanksgiving feast after hours when we were supposed to be in bed with food we had smuggled out of the cafeteria. We had look outs so we wouldn’t be caught by the patrolling teachers. My district was placed under surveillance because of politics against our spanish teacher who we could tell actually cared about us, and we were transferred into a classroom with one sided mirrors, and microphones hanging from the ceiling. An apostle came to speak to the entire CCM, and I thought we would get a chance to meet with him directly, or that he would be even remotely accessible in some way. He was kept away from us, separate and removed even though we had the same mission. I played a lot of volley ball, and got into shape enough that I touched the rim of a basketball hoop for the first time while I was there.
My first companion was a native speaker, and liked to spend the mornings in the cyber (Internet Cafe). He would make sure I was on LDS.org while he looked at softcore porn on instagram. We would spend hours there, and I was disappointed that this was the mission.
We went to a previous investigators house, and while there, we saw preparations for an animal sacrifice. These guys were putting alcohol, cocaine, and blowing smoke onto a white chicken, and placed in into a cardboard box with a bunch of black chickens. They showed us a room full of weapons, with blood and feathers strewn all over the floor. We noped the fuck out, and went home.
I requested an emergency transfer after spending most days in the cyber, watching my companion deface JW’s property, and being an all around dick to me by telling me how to shower and how to sleep.
For his replacement, the person that would help me with his bastion of knowledge, they gave me a white guy who spoke as much Spanish as I did because he was only a transfer further into his mission than me. They made this poor kid senior companion to me before his first transfer was over. Why? Because the kid was a workaholic.
The first thing this elder and I did when we got to our apartment was to pick up and leave to go to the house of a member who had just died. We sang at the wake. I sang in a language I didn’t know, for people I didn’t know, with a companion I didn’t know. We sounded pretty damn good. The elder began setting appointments with the non-believing family members during the service. I just sat and watched the mindless kids chase the family dog.
This elder skipped lunch every day, and made me do the same. We knocked every door in our area twice that transfer. One time, he got very sick, and was delirious out in the sun with me while we were walking. I made us go home for lunch that day, and he made me promise to wake him up after thirty minutes so we could get back to the Lord’s work. Three hours later he woke up, chewed me out for letting him sleep that long, and then begrudgingly thanked me for making him rest.
One time, while walking, this Elder expressed to me that he also had some questions, but he was afraid to share the details because he knew my own testimony was fragile. I pressed him for details of his plight, and he revealed to me the darkest part of church history that he had learned while we were in the CCM, that Joseph Smith had drank alcohol while in Carthage Jail before he died. Thoughts of Fanny Alger, of Mountain Meadows Massacre, and of my own mother’s rather recently implemented looser interpretation of the word of wisdom all flashed through my head. This guy was supposed to be my teacher? All I could do was express how sorry I was for his confusion, and told him to have faith. Heaven knew I couldn’t help him.
One night with this companion, it was storming hard, and the streets were flooded. This guy refused to let us go home. We climbed along fences to avoid getting our already wet shoes soaked, and waded through a foot of water to get to the doors that were slammed in our faces. There was a loose wire on a door bell, and when I rang it, I was shocked by the completed circuit the water made. Rejection after rejection piled up. Finally, my “senior” companion said that this was the last row of houses. On the last house of the last row, there was a family that was all deaf. The father opened the door, and was suprised to see us and didn’t know who we were. I remembered the sign for Jesus from my grandparents who started and ran the ASL endowment ceremony in the Saint George temple. The family was thrilled we knew the sign. When I asked if we could come in, the family politely waved goodbye and closed the door on our faces.
Another time when it rained, something fell into my eye. It was one of those freak nature accidents, and small enough that I couldn’t figure out how to get it out without a mirror. The thing stayed wedged in the corner of my eye for hours before we got home and I could finally get the foreign object out. Looking at it on my finger, I could see it was a small green spider. Days later, still in pain, I pulled what I can only assume was accumulated webbing from the spider that I’d crushed against my eyeball off of my lower eye lid. The pain stopped after that.
I bought a $500 camera. It was stolen within a month.
This Elder and I had the good luck before transfers to baptize two children. They would have been baptized anyways, so I didn’t do any actual converting, but I taught a few lessons, got in the water and did the dunk. Bucket list item, check.
I didn’t have enough time for laundry on P-Day, so I’d wash my outfit and dry in on the radiator through the night. Transfers happen, and my new companion lied to our land lords about the electricity bill, paying it in full but not giving a reason as to why it was so high. I didn’t care anymore, I just needed something clean to wear, but these land lord had treated me and my previous companion well, better than the previous landlord who had stolen our cleaning supplies. I felt these people deserved honesty. My senior companion capitulated eventually, and he and I butted heads regularly after that on the morality of things. I think in hindsight he was a smarter and better man than I was.
The new land lords, the “Lagunez Family”, were wonderful. They included us in their activities, and I felt like I had some people in my corner. When I eventually came home from my mission, a daughter of the family had written me a goodbye letter. She is currently serving a mission. They made some great music, and I have “Infiltradors” on CD, the official name of the band the father of the family was a part of (he was the drummer).
I knew the whole area by heart by that point, so I navigated us to our appointments. Half of the landmarks I watched for to know our location were interesting buildings with unique colors. The other half of my landmarks were dead dogs whose decaying corpses had become second nature to see. I began marking how much time had passed by how deeply a certain dog on a certain dirt path’s chest was caved in.
There was an apartment complex in my area that I had been told not to proselytize in because “It’s dangerous.” Turns out, those people didn’t have any money, so the church didn’t want them. That complex was past the dog and to the east about ten blocks.
My companion and I knocked on a door, and visited a man who was missing his legs. His daughter was there, putting dirty water on the aching wounds. He had a single room for a house, and wheezed when he spoke. He couldn’t afford medication. He still went out and worked all day for his daughter, and gave her whatever money he made, trusting her to keep him alive somehow. The church expected this man to pay tithing. The church expected me to tell this man to pay tithing.
I got the chance to hike up a mountain. At the top, I played chess with a chess set I’d procured from one of the best rapid chess players I’ve ever met. He had been the ward mission leader. He was a good man, a good father, and I wish him the best.
I found another man who was deaf and spoke sign language. I sat with him, and convinced him to come to church all by myself while my companion talked with some tienda tender. I was so excited because this was my own personal project and it was going well. The man came to church, and I sat with him through sacrament meeting. In Sunday school (I can’t believe I did this), I accidentally drooled on the guy. I was just talking so he could read my lips, and I guess I forgot to swallow at some point because a dolup of spit landed on his arm. I apologized profusely, and he played it off, but I never saw that investigator again.
My companion and I knocked a door one day, and a man answered. He wore tattered clothes, and maggots were burrowing into and out of his feet. He muttered something about the stars, missing his wife, and he began to tear up. My eyes stung from the stench. The door closed. Somehow, I knew the man would be dead in a matter of weeks.
I had lost hope that I was doing anything worth while. I looked down on the Doc Martins that had stayed with me five months at this point. I was angry with myself for being so useless in the field, angry with the church for giving me leaders that didn’t listen to my needs or perspective, angry with my mom for drinking while I had to teach people that it was a sin, angry with my dad for giving me the skills and knowledge to justify anything, even pedophilia in the early days of the church, to the point where I could look someone in the eye, and knowing the kind of man Smith was, tell them he was a good man and a true prophet of God. Suddenly a man approached us. He said he recognized us as missionaries, and asked about our message. This never happened. People didn’t just come up to us unless they were crazy or dangerous. But this was a public place, and this guy was genuine. My companion talked to him, and gathered his story, but I was plotting something else. I was done with not caring about these people in a way that mattered. I was tired of walking in another man’s shoes, a man who wasn’t me, who believed different things than me. The chopped leg, the rotting dogs, the infested feet, it all swirled into a single thought in that moment.
What would Jesus do?
I walked over to the man, and in broken Spanish asked him to stand next to me. He did so, and I compared my shoe size to his foot. It was a perfect match. He protested, but I didn’t let him get a word in edge wise. I took off my shoes, put them on his dirty feet, and laced them up nice and tight. Those shoes had cost a ton, and had been meant to last the whole mission. All I had left at this point were my fancy dress shoes that gave my blisters back at the apartment. I didn’t care. I walked home in my socks that day, happy as a lark.
Covid-19 hit a month later. I was one of the few they brought home instead of quarantining. After having served only 6 months. I told God if he wanted me to stay home, he’d have to make them release me.
They released me. I think I was one of maybe a hundred missionaries that were released due to Covid. The church realized their mistake pretty soon after I was released. Once Covid infrastructure began to develop, they didn’t release any more. I guess I didn’t serve a full two years, but I did serve a full mission.
My brother served, and he nearly killed himself due to intense depression brought on by Covid quarantine and poor leadership (I’ve got a few mission president stories, but those are for another time).
I learned lying to someone’s face from my mission, and spent the rest of my time at BYU-I as “nuanced” until the last two years, over which the most epic hoe phase imaginable became my new mission. I spent those years terrified of getting a call from the honor code office.
I’m married now, with my degree irrevocably in my possession. I have friends and loved ones that are in the church and are working on their mission papers. I’m beginning to feel powerless again. I’m seeing the decay again, not on legs, feet, or dogs anymore, but in the souls of the people who the church raises to do their dirty volunteer work. I see them like the animal sacrifices I saw being prepared. I’m not sure what shoes I have left to give to those people that I know are going to be in pain.
My parents are out completely now. It was a long time coming, but they are out and so much happier. I’m working on building a new relationship with my family, one based off of the fact that we won’t be together forever, so we have to make the most of our time together now.
Happy Sunday guys, best of luck to you all. And most importantly, chupa la piña.

I walked over to the man, and in broken Spanish asked him to stand next to me. He did so, and I compared my shoe size to his foot. It was a perfect match. He protested, but I didn’t let him get a word in edge wise. I took off my shoes, put them on his dirty feet, and laced them up nice and tight. Those shoes had cost a ton, and had been meant to last the whole mission. All I had left at this point were my fancy dress shoes that gave my blisters back at the apartment. I didn’t care. I walked home in my socks that day, happy as a lark.
Covid-19 hit a month later. I was one of the few they brought home instead of quarantining. After having served only 6 months. I told God if he wanted me to stay home, he’d have to make them release me.
They released me. I think I was one of maybe a hundred missionaries that were released due to Covid. The church realized their mistake pretty soon after I was released. Once Covid infrastructure began to develop, they didn’t release any more. I guess I didn’t serve a full two years, but I did serve a full mission.
My brother served, and he nearly killed himself due to intense depression brought on by Covid quarantine and poor leadership (I’ve got a few mission president stories, but those are for another time).
I learned lying to someone’s face from my mission, and spent the rest of my time at BYU-I as “nuanced” until the last two years, over which the most epic hoe phase imaginable became my new mission. I spent those years terrified of getting a call from the honor code office.
I’m married now, with my degree irrevocably in my possession. I have friends and loved ones that are in the church and are working on their mission papers. I’m beginning to feel powerless again. I’m seeing the decay again, not on legs, feet, or dogs anymore, but in the souls of the people who the church raises to do their dirty volunteer work. I see them like the animal sacrifices I saw being prepared. I’m not sure what shoes I have left to give to those people that I know are going to be in pain.
My parents are out completely now. It was a long time coming, but they are out and so much happier. I’m working on building a new relationship with my family, one based off of the fact that we won’t be together forever, so we have to make the most of our time together now.
Happy Sunday guys, best of luck to you all. And most importantly, chupa la piña.
2024.05.19 13:50 yato_gummy Remote says "0% board" but board is 44%. Which one is telling the truth?
How to solve this issue? i got this problem a while a ago, the remote shows 14% then 0% after a few seconds. But if i click the remote it says board 44%. So which one is telling the truth? I can ride the board during the process. I left it for an hour and now shows 44% board again on the remote.
Would balancing the battery fix this? How so? Can't request for replacement since this is a pre-owned unit and out of warranty.

This charging handle stands out from the rest with its ambidextrous design that allows for easy operation and use from both hands. The enlarged handle latches make it a convenient and comfortable choice, and the integrated gas vents center force charging ensure optimal functionality. One of the key highlights of this charging handle is its seamless integration and compatibility with various rifles.

The quality of the product is top-notch, as evidenced by the solid construction and well-engineered components. The centerforce charging system in particular is a game-changer, making it easier to cycle through rounds and providing a more efficient shooting experience. However, there were a few drawbacks to this charging handle that I couldn't overlook. The oversized handles may protrude a bit too much for some users, causing discomfort when the rifle is worn or carried for extended periods. Additionally, the enlarged latches may have a slightly looser fit compared to other charging handles, which could cause some users to feel a lack of secureness when handling the rifle. Overall, I would highly recommend the Armaspec Victory Charging Handle Red for anyone looking for an affordable yet high-quality charging handle option for their AR-15. Its smooth operation and easy handling make it a fantastic choice, even if you're not left-handed.

However, there were a couple of small issues I ran into with this holster. The protective sweat guard is a noble addition, but it can sometimes block the sight of my firearm, which can be a bit annoying during quick checks.

All in all, based on my experience with this IWB Holster for 1911 5" Government 45ACP with Rail Only Red Dot Optic Cut, I found that it provides a comfortable, secure way to carry my firearm while taking advantage of the adjustability features it boasts.

Not only is it comfortable to wear around my neck, but the twist-focus lens also allows me to adjust the beam to fit my needs perfectly. One of the coolest things about this neck light is the versatility it offers. I've used it for some serious crafting, to keep the light just where I need it, and for those tiny sewing threads and fine knitting yarns. The fact that I could wear it for hours without any discomfort was a huge plus. The light's battery life is impressive too. It lasted about 4 to 5 hours of constant use and recharges in just 3 hours. The charging cord that came with it was a bit of a hassle since I couldn't use my MacBook's USB-C cord, but thankfully an old iPad USB charger worked fine. There were a few drawbacks though. The focus system could be improved - sometimes it was hard to adjust, especially with grimy or grease-laden hands. And the battery level indicator wasn't the most accurate. But overall, this LED Neck Light has been a reliable and effective tool in my daily life. 🔗Super Bright Rechargeable LED Flashlight with 900000 Lumenshttps://preview.redd.it/t27hbby3qb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bfcca1771bcb540cd0be90cfad5f5298b326313 A couple of months ago, I stumbled upon the super bright NJ Forever Flashlight. It's rechargeable and boasts an impressive 900,000 lumens, making it perfect for emergency situations or outdoor activities. The fact that it's IPx6 waterproof and comes with a USB cable is a big plus, as it ensures the flashlight can handle a bit of splashing and makes charging a breeze. However, something I wasn't particularly fond of was the chemical warning. It's the "Prop 65 warning, " which means this product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. That aside, I must admit I've been quite impressed with how long the flashlight lasted during my tests; it consistently ran for about 12 hours on a single charge. The battery it uses is a Nickel–Metal Hydride battery, and while not as common as other battery types, it's still reliable and efficient. 🔗Compact, Durable Rechargeable Focus Flashlight with Laser Pointerhttps://preview.redd.it/n3ve24d4qb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8889b16d6c37690ba18b65d7feaf5aa30b8c1fe8 The Klein Tools Rechargeable Focus LED Flashlight with Laser is a fantastic tool that I've been using daily for several months now. Its lithium-ion battery provides a full 12 hours of runtime, which is perfect for my needs. The adjustable focus is a great feature, allowing me to easily switch between spotlight and floodlight modes. The pinpoint accuracy of the Class IIIa red laser has been incredibly helpful for pinpointing objects in hard-to-reach places. The strong magnetic end cap lets me operate hands-free, while the removable pocket clip ensures easy accessibility. One thing I particularly appreciate about this flashlight is its durability. It withstands the pressures of daily use, as evidenced by its 10-foot drop rating and IP54 water- and dust-resistant construction. However, one downside I've noticed is that the laser has stopped functioning after just a few months of use. This is quite disappointing, especially given the product's otherwise impressive performance. I'm also not a big fan of the switch mechanism, which is quite sensitive, making it easy to accidentally turn the light on or off. Overall, the Klein Tools Rechargeable Focus LED Flashlight with Laser has been a reliable and useful addition to my tool collection. Despite the concerns regarding the laser and the switch, the product's other features have made it a worthwhile investment. 🔗Ultra-Bright 12000 Lumen Flashlight for Emergency and Outdoor Usehttps://preview.redd.it/3jb56cj4qb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b5ba0c5532480ec2abcb0058df75222f6be8455 These SKNSL Rechargeable LED Flashlights truly shine with their impressive 900,000 lumen output, providing brightness you can count on. I was particularly drawn to the 7 modes, making it a versatile choice for all kinds of adventures. One thing I really appreciated is the use of COB technology in these flashlights. It made the focus easily adjustable, switching between wide range and spot illumination, greatly aiding in my detection of surroundings. However, it did take some getting used to with handling the light for long periods of time due to the intense brightness, which felt more like a sun's intense glare. But overall, these LED flashlights provide a powerful and rechargeable source of light in emergencies or during your outdoor treks. With their IP6 waterproof rating and strong aluminum alloy body, they are built to handle any weather or situation. 🔗Gorilla Grip Powerful LED Tactical Flashlight for Adventurehttps://preview.redd.it/ii0bwbz4qb1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a255218e527c98c3e7da22082c23b9dd2769bd3 As a devoted outdoor enthusiast, I've always carried a trusty flashlight with me on my adventures. But the Gorilla Grip LED Flashlight took my breath away! Imagine holding a tiny light source that could pierce through the darkest forests and illuminate the most remote trails. The five adjustable modes made it versatile, handy, and practical, from a smooth and steady beam for hiking to a blinding strobe for emergencies. The flashlight is surprisingly light, thanks to its compact size, yet packed with a robust 345 lumen LED light that shines for 9.5 hours on a single set of AAA batteries. The shock-resistant and water-resistant build gave me peace of mind, knowing that I could rely on this superb companion no matter the weather or terrain. It seamlessly fits in my pocket without feeling cumbersome or bulky. This Gorilla Grip Flashlight has become an essential part of my outdoor gear, and it's truly earned its spot as my new best friend.

2024.05.19 07:58 xatnagh How to beat this week's brutal challenge (easily)
This is probably the hardest weekly challenge ever, but I got chu
1: start Charlie papa(rural surrounded by mountains in the middle)
2: intel 1 -> PR -> pr2 (this will cause you to stabilize even before the insurgent spawns)
3: wait a few months, get intel 2 and roads.
4: around April, stop spending and get 2 coal soldiers, clear the top side insurgent camp. If one insurgent spawns on the top side, immediately restart because you will lose)
5: if you cleared the top side and all the insurgent spawns on the bottom, then congrats you win. Place your soldiers on 3 places: delta tango, delta sierra, and echo whiskey. And then just chill. Remember to upgrade your soldiers with rural and urban attachments.
At this point, you can do basically what ever you want since the insurgents are trapped at bottom mountains.
I highly recommend you get 3 points in anti corruption and then 2 national soldiers, remote sub, dirt paths, and medical to get the top mountains to convert as fast as possible.
Tips: DO NOT STEP A FOOT INTO THE BOTTOM CITY, if you do, you will have to defend it, it is such a nightmare
Extra tank is acutally good.
Only extend soldier once then replace them with tank national soldiers.
Watch out for camps that might spawn in remote regions after you trapped for a while, especially after peace talks.
Overall, fun challenge and probably the most difficult one yet

2024.05.19 07:45 PerilousPlatypus [WP] After being exiled to Earth, you found a spouse and had a family. Earth was just invaded and your family was killed. Now you get to remind everyone why you were exiled.
The exile was expected. Inevitable.
They had handed me the means necessary for victory -- total control. Countless planets had been placed under my command. Every resource had been dedicated to my exclusive discretion. The laws of the Panesian Senate suspended save one: Dictatus Supreme.
I had refused, at first.
But eventually, I answered their call. I took on the mantle of Dictator and I waged the terrible, bloody war no one else would wage. It came at a terrible cost. To us. To them.
Mostly to them.
In the end, half the galaxy lay in ruins, with billions of lives scoured from existence. The Panesian Confederation survived and the Thrax'in Empire was no more.
I was thanked.
Then I was exiled.
Retired, as they called it. Offered a life of peace in exchange for the ocean of blood on my hands. A Dictator could not remain in the Panesian Confederation, it posed too great a risk to democracy restored after the Writ of Dictatus Supreme had ended. I understood, though I couldn't bring myself to be thankful in that moment.
But that would change. I was exiled to a wayward planet, multiple jumps away from anything remotely relevant. The planet was compatible and the local species reasonably hospitable. They were some distance from discovering hyper accelerative technologies, but there was enough to lead a reasonably happy existence.
And I did.
Eventually. It took time for the shock of the war to fade, for my nights to be filled with anything other than the seared memories of what had come before. After time, those memories were replaced by the moments I shared with my family. Warm moments of love. Quiet moments of shared peace.
They say time heals all wounds. Perhaps that's true, but I found a family does the job far better.
Until it was taken away.
The attack came suddenly. Searing red streaks of flame painted the night sky as the Thrax'in landed their expeditionary force. Their goals were simple enough: pacify the population, strip the resources of interest, and then move on.
Humanity was in no position to resist, though they made an admirable effort. There is little drones and ballistics can do against mechs with energy shields. The battle for Earth was over in a few hours. Billions were killed. My family among them.
It was there, in the ruins of my home, that I learned an important truth: A defeated enemy is not the same as an eradicated enemy. For all of my successes in the war, I had not truly won. So long as a Thrax'in lived, they would be a threat to others. Families would continue to die, and it would be my fault.
Thankfully, I knew a thing or two about fighting them. Things Humanity would benefit from. Things even an exile could do. Things that would remind the Thrax'in and everyone else, why I was exiled in the first place.
It began simply. Small. This was not a war to be won by direct confrontation. I was no longer Dictator. Thousands of planets did not await my call. Instead, I would be a cancer within. Growing and metastasizing. Devouring them from within.
Yes, it began simply.
What could be more simple than surrender?
A passing patrol, sweeping the ruins, was only to happy to take me in. They stomped close, looming over me in their mechs. I could hear the chittering between them, could smell the Thrax'in musk.
I looked up at them. A docile Human, shivering and bewildered, hands in the air. An easy target.
The Thrax'in could never resist an easy target.
One reached toward me, the mech's hand clamping down on my arm. Well, not my arm. The arm of my own mech, the bio-engineered Panesian suit of distilled mayhem I had been gifted to allow me to blend in.
Look like a Human.
Talk like a Human.
Kill like a Panesian.
Nanites flowed from my suit and onto the surface of the Thrax'in mech, infiltrating its internal systems. Data began to flow back to me, depicting the status of the local battle sphere. Numerous meat ships were gathering the remaining Humans up while extractors were beginning to drain resources. Among them were the various Thrax'in military units as well as a smattering of hot spots indicating continued Human resistance.
I stumbled along beside the mech as it ushered me toward a meat ship. By the time I reached the ship, seventy-four Thrax'in mechs were infected. Two transports. Six integrated computer systems.
When I boarded the ship, it was already mine.
The Exile had returned.

2024.05.19 07:26 Astatine360 AITA for demanding my mom pay for the computer?
Hey
So I (30M) was staying for the weekend with my mom (53F) and the rest of the family, to cwlebrate my youngest brother's (M19) birthday.
Some backstory here - my youngest brother is very good with technology and online marketing, so a few months back I gave him my old computer that had broken down so he could fix it and sell it, in exchange for paying his expenses and giving him 30% of any profits he makes. However, he has been going through a slightly delayed teenage angsty phace and has not got around to doing it yet, so I left it with him with the hope he gets around to doing it. Also, my mom and stepdad (70M) have been wanting a new computer for a while, but were not willing to pay for one (they are very bad at saving and keep running up debts while spending loads on useless things).
Anyway, last night I see him working on the computer, so I go over and see that it has been fixed! I ask him what is up, and my stepdad comes over and says that "I got it fixed so that we can have a computer at home" - just like that, without even asking me! My brother nodded in agreement, which tells me that he knew about all this.
Of course I get annoyed at my stepdad, and I tell him that "This computer is mine, and if you want it you have to pay me for it" - a remark which prompted an angry outburst from my stepdad who immediately started demanding for his $120 back (I converted all costs to USD for the sake of this post), which prompted me to take out my phone and right away I transferred him $120 for his costs, which caused him to go - still fuming - out the house. I took the computer and went into the room I was sleeping in.
My mom came back an hour later (10 PM by now) and asked what had gone wrong, and my sister (24F) told her the story. She then went to the room I was in and asked about the computer, and when I stated my demands she got really upset and said that "she will not speak about money, and if I want it so much just take it and they will buy a new one".
I later ask my sister what had gone wrong, and she said "We don't take money from family"... Now I think that since I bought this computer with my own money, and since it was a gaming laptop with great specs that can get at least $450 on the second-hand market in my country and that would cost at least $1,500 to replace, I am entitled to some sort of compensation for my property - and that giving it to them for a 20% discount on this price ($360 - they will not be able to get anything even remotely comparable for that price) is more than fair. However, my mom, sister and stepdad are still mad at me while my 2 brothers (23M and 19M) say that they think I was right but should have just given in so my mom will not be mad.
AITA?

Reviews🔗Arkrocket Retro Bluetooth Record Player with Turntable and Built-In Speakers, Brownhttps://preview.redd.it/b5tilx8uib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38fe181f35ff91847eb92bef068e2f29619d748a Once upon a time, I stumbled upon the Arkrocket Discovery 3-Speed Bluetooth Record Player with Retro Turntable and Built-In Speakers. As a music lover who appreciates both the classics and new sounds, I was excited to see how this little device would perform. Right out of the box, I noticed its sleek design and vintage-inspired charm. The removable legs made it easy to fit into any space in my home. Setting up the turntable was a breeze, and within minutes, I was jamming to some old vinyls. The sound quality was impressive for its size and price range. While the built-in speakers aren't booming, they're perfect for a cozy room or study. The ability to connect my phone via Bluetooth has made it even more versatile, allowing me to stream my favorite digital tunes right alongside my vinyl collection. However, there was one minor issue that caught my attention. The legs are made of adhesive upholstery, which began to separate after some use. A quick fix with glue restored its appearance, but I wish it had been made with a sturdier material. Overall, I am thoroughly pleased with my Arkrocket Discovery 3-Speed Bluetooth Record Player. It's not only a great conversation starter but also an affordable and reliable way to enjoy my favorite music in a nostalgic yet modern manner. 🔗Crosley Cruiser Plus Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable in Tourmalinehttps://preview.redd.it/qr9j36luib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef9cd5306e83ab3bf3f611edecdf742d653daa3a Once a vinyl enthusiast, always a vinyl enthusiast. That's my motto ever since I got my hands on the Crosley Cruiser Plus Turntable - Tourmaline. It just blends old school music with modern technology seamlessly. When I first unboxed it, I was instantly charmed by its charming suitcase-style shell. It gave off a vintage vibe that I absolutely loved. Plus, the built-in Bluetooth receiver and stereo speakers took the convenience factor up a notch. Navigating through the Turntable is a breeze. The adjustable pitch control and 3-speed feature (33 1/3, 45 & 78 RPM) gave me the flexibility to play any vinyl record I wanted. And don't even get me started on the Bluetooth in/out capability. It was like having a digital music player and a vinyl record player all wrapped into one device. One day, I had the brilliant idea of connecting my phone to the turntable and playing some of my favorite vinyl-to-digital remastered tracks. The sound quality was phenomenal, a perfect blend of digital clarity and analog warmth. Now, if only it didn't skip randomly sometimes. . . Despite the occasional skip, the Crosley Cruiser Plus Turntable has been a reliable and enjoyable companion on my vinyl adventure. It's portable, easy to use, and best of all, it beautifully blends the charm of old school vinyl with the convenience of modern technology. 🔗Bluetooth Vinyl Record Player with Built-In Stereo Speakers, 3-Speed Belt-Driven Turntable, AUX, RCA & Headphone Socketshttps://preview.redd.it/4r6hc26vib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24689ae9c70aa600cb5a97f615dad61b9d8b6ae4 I recently got my hands on this Bluetooth-enabled vintage vinyl record player and it's been a fantastic addition to my music collection. The first thing that caught my eye was the sleek, retro design that adds a touch of class to any room. But, it's not all about looks. The built-in Bluetooth function makes it incredibly easy to connect and play my favorite digital music from my phone or tablet, while the 3-speed belt-driven turntable lets me enjoy all of my vinyl records at various speeds. One of the standout features for me is the high-sensitivity stylus, which does an excellent job of accurately reading record information. The audio output is decent for its size, and I appreciate the added flexibility of the 3.5mm Aux-in and RCA output options. However, the built-in speakers could be better, so I sometimes connect it to my external speaker system for a more immersive listening experience. Some drawbacks I noticed are the relatively low power output, which might not be able to fill a big room with sound, as well as the lack of an adaptive speed feature. Additionally, the build quality feels a bit flimsy and the accompanying instructions could be clearer. Overall, this Bluetooth record player is a stylish and functional addition to any music lover's collection, offering a nostalgic vinyl listening experience with modern connectivity. It's not perfect, but for its price point, it's definitely worth considering. 🔗Bluetooth Vinyl Turntable with 40W Stereo Speakershttps://preview.redd.it/phrbaubvib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6c440c810a089975924b5fed55e740647ab3870 As a music enthusiast, I've had my fair share of turntables, but the Arkrocket Cassini has truly stood out. Upon receiving it, I was blown away by its stunning walnut finish and sleek design. The ease of setup was impressive, making it truly user-friendly. However, what truly captured my attention was the sound quality this turntable delivers. It uses a moving magnet cartridge system, which offers a stable playback, allowing my vinyls to be enjoyed in all their glory. This turntable also supports Bluetooth, giving me the flexibility to connect with wireless speakers or headphones when I want. The included 40Watt bookshelf speakers are a cherry on top, providing clear and powerful sound. The only con I noticed was that the turntable is a bit on the heavier side, making it a little less portable than some other options. However, this is a minor inconvenience for the incredible listening experience it provides. Overall, I highly recommend the Arkrocket Cassini for anyone looking to enhance their vinyl listening experience. 🔗Bluetooth Record Player with Stereo Speakers and Cassette Playerhttps://preview.redd.it/ep176snvib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=851778d4650a0515ba32cd0c7c7fbc6ff54ae82a I've been using the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player with Stereo Speakers, and it's been such a nostalgic blast. Not only does it let me play my old vinyls, but it also has cassette functionality, making it a compact all-in-one media player. One of the standout features for me is the MP3 conversion capability. As someone who's been slowly digitizing my old music collection, this has been a game-changer. No need for a computer, just connect your USB or SD card and convert your vinyls directly into a MP3 format. The built-in speakers are decent, but they really shine when connected to an external sound system. The design is quite user-friendly too. The buttons are clearly labeled, and there's even a remote control for added convenience. Plus, the retro look with wooden sides adds a touch of classic charm to my home decor. However, there are a few downsides. The build quality could be better, as it feels a bit flimsy in places. Additionally, while the sound quality is passable, it's not quite on par with dedicated audio equipment. Despite these minor drawbacks, I've absolutely loved using the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player. It's perfect for anyone who wants to relive their old vinyl and tape days, or for those looking to preserve and share their music collection. 🔗Retro Full-Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player with Bluetooth and USBhttps://preview.redd.it/n0uv795wib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb10d9f6e2c425199b84b46cfcb59d94183c7ff4 I recently got my hands on the Arkrocket Full-Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player and I must say, it brought back a lot of nostalgic memories of my childhood trips to the soda shop. This retro-inspired marvel not only looks stunningly classic but also provides a delightful listening experience with various playback options. One of the features that truly stood out for me was its bluelight compatibility. It allowed me to effortlessly stream music from my smartphone right into the jukebox, blending old-school charm with modern convenience. Additionally, it comes equipped with a USB port, an SD card slot, and of course, a CD player - talk about versatility! However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The jukebox is quite heavy at nearly 47 pounds, making it a little challenging to move around. Furthermore, I noticed that some parts seemed slightly fragile and needed careful handling. In conclusion, if you're looking to add a touch of retro style to your home while enjoying your vinyl collection or streaming tunes from your phone, the Arkrocket Full-Size Jukebox Vinyl Record Player could be just what you need. Just remember to handle it with care and maybe keep it in one spot due to its weight. 🔗Vinyl Record Player with MP3 Converter, Bluetooth, CD, and Cassettehttps://preview.redd.it/u9qwwsdwib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3f8bdce3bc9650022b10aac1474d0bc4eef0ea3 I recently got my hands on the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable, and I can tell you firsthand that it's a versatile and retro-chic addition to your music setup. The briefcase-style design is both trendy and timeless, featuring classic color schemes that blend seamlessly with any decor. One of the standout features of this turntable is its ability to play multiple formats, including vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and even MP3s. The twin detachable speakers offer clear and loud sound, ensuring that you can jam out to your tunes without any pesky noise interference. Plus, the built-in Bluetooth connection lets you stream music wirelessly from your phone or laptop, giving you even more options for your listening pleasure. Another awesome feature is the vinyl-to-MP3 recording function. This allows you to digitize your vinyl records and save them on a USB or SD card, making it easier than ever to backup and share your old vinyl collection with friends and family. Now, let's talk about the downsides, shall we? While the design is undoubtedly eye-catching, the build quality leaves something to be desired. Some users have reported issues with the CD door and overall durability of the unit. Additionally, the remote control is quite small and difficult to use, which can be frustrating if you're not a fan of getting up to change the volume or switch tracks. In conclusion, the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable is a unique and compact device that offers a wide range of listening options for music enthusiasts. While there are some minor drawbacks in terms of build quality and usability, the overall experience is enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate the nostalgic appeal of vinyl records. 🔗Vintage Record Player with Built-in Stereo Speakershttps://preview.redd.it/1awsgttwib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8515fb52de796d64d34ea819b673bd961de9e378 As an avid vinyl lover, I recently had the chance to try out the Digitnow! Turntable Record Player. This sleek, vintage-styled device has three speeds and built-in speakers for easy listening. I was pleasantly surprised by its portability, as it's compact enough to take with me on trips or parties without compromising on sound quality. The adjustable 33 1/3, 45, or 78 RPM speeds let me enjoy all my vinyl records without any issues. One thing that stood out to me was how easy it was to use. The minimalistic design made it straightforward to set up and operate, even for someone like me who's not very tech-savvy. Another highlight was the sound quality - the dynamic full-range stereo speakers delivered crisp, clear audio that brought my old vinyl records back to life. However, there were also some drawbacks. While the built-in speakers are decent, they might not be powerful enough for larger gatherings or more demanding music enthusiasts. Additionally, I noticed that the turntable can be a bit sensitive, so you'll need to handle it gently to avoid damaging your vinyl records. Overall, I've had a mostly positive experience with the Digitnow! Turntable Record Player. Its stylish design, ease of use, and good sound quality make it a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy their vinyl collection in a modern way. 🔗Bluetooth-Enabled Stereo Turntablehttps://preview.redd.it/bv0dp49xib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51a046a4a02cdf30069381c2a0a6a67317219ba4 When I first got my hands on the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT-SV Bluetooth Stereo Turntable, I was excited to bring back the vinyl vibes of old. As someone who enjoys collecting and listening to records, this little device quickly became my go-to for its easy setup and great sound quality. One of the main features that stood out for me is its automatic play feature. With just a touch of a button, the turntable starts playing your favorite vinyls without needing any manual adjustments or advanced setup. It's perfect for those who want the convenience of modern technology while still enjoying the nostalgic sound of analog music. The Bluetooth connectivity also added a lot of functionality to my listening experience. I could easily pair the turntable with my wireless speakers or headphones, allowing me to enjoy my vinyl collection from anywhere in the room. Plus, the included CSR BT chipset ensured that the connection was stable and didn't drop out unexpectedly. However, there were a few drawbacks that I encountered with this turntable. Firstly, the build quality felt a tad flimsy, especially when compared to other models in the same price range. Additionally, although the sound quality was decent overall, it wasn't quite up to par with some of the more premium options on the market. In summary, if you're looking for a beginner-friendly turntable that offers great convenience and easy setup, the Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT-SV is definitely worth considering. While its build quality and sound performance are not top-notch, it provides excellent value for the price and will surely bring back those retro vinyl vibes you've been craving. 🔗BluetoothturntablePlayerforvinylrecordswithejectandfastforward, REC, DELfunction.https://preview.redd.it/fnxqjojxib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afbdb53ca73729d7f28a1273866a2fb5a303a294 I recently got my hands on the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable, a multifunctional device that plays vinyl records, tapes, CDs, and even connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth. I was excited to give it a try, as I've been collecting vinyls for a while now and wanted a convenient way to listen to them. Right out of the box, the turntable was easy to set up. Its compact size makes it perfect for any living space, and it comes with a built-in speaker that provides decent sound quality. The ability to convert vinyl records into MP3 files directly is a lifesaver for music enthusiasts like me who want to share their favorite tunes without fumbling with extra devices. However, not everything was perfect. The build quality of the turntable wasn't as high as I'd hoped, which led to some durability issues. Additionally, the sound level could be louder for a more immersive listening experience, especially when using the Bluetooth feature. All in all, the Digitnow Bluetooth Record Player Turntable is a solid choice for those looking to play and share their vinyl records and other media formats. While it has some room for improvement in the build and sound department, its convenient features make it worth considering for any music lover's collection. 🔗Fully automatic vinyl turntable setuphttps://preview.redd.it/qu00r1wxib1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63d678a51a8e02e82a80361ae1b5d4eec2664c6a In the realm of vinyl enthusiasts, the Dual CS 329 Fully Automatic Turntable reigns supreme as a beginner-friendly choice offering high-quality audio playback. This sophisticated but user-friendly device is a plug-and-play marvel that comes pre-assembled and fully ready to use. Its unique automated functions, such as the versatile tonearm that lowers, swivels, and raises at the press of a button, make it a breeze to operate. Moreover, its factory-fixed settings ensure optimal performance right out of the box. The plinth boasts an integrated elastomer vibration absorber, providing enhanced stability, accompanied by a removable dust cover that protects the device. The meticulously crafted aluminium die-cast platter and heavy rubber mat effectively dampen unwanted resonance, resulting in exceptional sound clarity. In addition, the drive's rubber mountings eliminate vibrations, while the precision-cut belt aids in minimising wow and flutter. My personal experience using the Dual CS 329 has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Each vinyl listening session is now elevated due to its superior sound quality, making this turntable a worthwhile investment. While it may lack some of the advanced features of higher-end models, its ease of use and setup more than make up for it. However, one minor drawback lies in its lack of customisability. For those seeking to fine-tune their listening experience, the fixed settings might be somewhat limiting. Nevertheless, for the casual vinyl collector or someone new to analogue playback, the Dual CS 329 is an absolute gem. In conclusion, the Dual CS 329 Fully Automatic Turntable strikes a perfect balance between user-friendliness and superb sound quality. It's my go-to recommendation for those looking to explore the world of vinyl or simply enjoy a hassle-free and enriching listening experience.

2024.05.19 06:26 bach_02 Looking to build a PC (no experience)
TL;DR: PC building newb is wanting to build a PC that can handle regular tech job remote tasks, play pc games at a good frame rate (70-80), and overall run nice.
Hey everyone,
After years of not having a desktop, I decided it’s time to build a PC. I’ve never built a PC before, but being a computer science major I think it could be a good experience given that hardware is not the focus of my major; plus I just think it would be cool to say that I built my own PC. And I’ve been wanting to go back to PC for a little while now.
Keep in mind, I am completely new to this stuff, particularly what the best parts to buy are given what I’m looking for. There are multiple micro centers in my home town, but wanted to do the proper research and get a variety of opinions between micro center workers and the PC community. That way I can really make an ideal desktop for what I want.
Also, I’m sorry this is a lot. I’ve been wanting to do this for years and now that I’m committing to it, I really don’t want to mess it up all because I didn’t do the proper research. Heres some context of what I’m looking for
-Working Remote- I want to be able to sufficiently be able to work from home. Many tech jobs are beginning to follow a hybrid or even fully remote format. In the case that I run into that throughout my career (which seems very likely), I don’t want to run into any non internet connection issues that could raise issues when working remote such as freezing, or slowness due to many apps being open at once (VS code, Remote Desktop, chrome with a good amount of tabs, etc.).
-Windows (which ever version is best in case it isn’t the newest one)- probably a way too obvious thing to include but hear me out. Ive been strictly Apple and have not regularly used a windows device in 8 years. Both great operating systems in their own ways, but one of my main motivations for doing this is that I’ve realized over time that I definitely miss using Windows for many reasons. That being said, I do not know if there is a preferred version of windows 11 versus the latest one, if even the case.
-Gaming- (play just about all games at 60-70fps): Similar to using windows, another motivation I had for doing this is PC gaming. Before I stopped using windows in 2017, I had built a decent sized library on steam and was a pretty avid PC gamer but still played a little console. Switched to only console and, same as windows and mac, both are great for different reasons. But for years I’ve been itching to get back into games like Skyrim, counter strike, and the blizzard library (probably weird choices to say nowadays but remember, I’ve been out of the PC world for 8 years). Along with that, I want to try out all of the great pc games that I’ve come out since that I haven’t had the chance to play and the games that will continue to come out. Overall, I want a build that will be able to play all these titles at a consistent frame rate similar to let’s say Elden Ring on Xbox Series X, with good graphics (but not anything over the top).
-Wi-Fi support- I’m not too sure about this one, but more wanted to ask if this is worth investing into or not if it costs extra.
-Smooth- could be obvious, but I want an overall very smooth user experience. I’ve used a MacBook Pro 2020 edition for a couple years and overall I’ve been happy with the experience. But the one thing that I absolutely hate about it is how much it freezes up on me when I’m in the middle of doing something. Not necessarily very often, but it happens and it’s very annoying. I understand that this is going to become inevitable overtime, but overall I want a reliable and convenient user experience.
Again I’m sorry that this is a lot. If you have any questions please let me know and I’ll get back to you asap

- Budget- Preferebly $1000-1500. But willing to go a little over if it’s really worth doing so for a part (example: one graphics card is $200 but the next one up is $275-300 and will support games for a much longer lifespan than the $200 one. Let’s put the threshold for this at a $100 increase). Absolute maximum is $1750

2024.05.19 04:55 somethingenigmatic Help with how to transfer your saved game from devices with different iCloud accounts
 | I'm making this post on behalf of my ten year old niece. I got her into the game because she was always asking to play mine, and got her Homecoming. She comes to me whenever she's stuck, and this is such a time. We don't live close, but she's pretty good at video calling and sharing screens so I help her out. submitted by somethingenigmatic to tsukiodysseygame [link] [comments] She normally plays the game on her mom's phone, when she's allowed to use it. That's an iPhone with her mom's iCloud account attached. Recently she got her own iPad and her own account and email, and of course immediately downloaded Tsuki's. Unfortunately, the two different accounts mean it doesn't know her and she doesn't have access to homecoming on her iPad. At the same time, her mom's phone got dropped and cracked. It's still working for the moment but Mom, my sister, plans to replace it soon. Between her older brother and me remotely, we were able to help her export, email, and import a saved file for her game from one device to the other. This brought her items over, but it still doesn't seem to know about her homecoming. I remember a similar thing happened to me when I upgraded my own phone, and I lost soo many carrots. Any suggestions on how I can help her? Full disclosure, I also don't want to pay for homecoming a third time if I don't have to. Note: I'm not an Apple user, which just makes this more complicated. I'm only guessing some of this stuff based on what I know about how the Play store recognizes me and my game accounts. |
2024.05.19 04:06 happycrabeatsthefish How I unbricked my 6t on Android 14. [solved]
The context of this post is you flashed away your recovery and your system partitions. You're on Linux, like me, or you're on a version of Windows that has the drivers already installed. TWRP is currently not compatible with new firmware or anything beyond android 10 (please correct me if I'm wrong). Given that TWRP is out of date and hasn't been updated since 2022, we'll have to use adb and fastboot only. (If there are other tools from oneplus that make this easier please let me know).
Though I did write these, I did use chatgpt to write this with bullet points and fix any typos I had in my original instructions.
Consider this a draft. If I learn more, I'll update this here, unless a mod removes this post for some reason, I'll just post this on another sub or make my own oneplus 6t sub.
edit:
Errors I was getting before. (This will help people who are searching for a solution)
Related, I used adb instead of fastboot for the image because of this error (might not be the exact error. This is reconstructed):
Also, here's what TWRP will give you if you're on any Android after 10:

Steps to Successfully Install LineageOS on OnePlus 6T (Fajita)
Here is the detailed step-by-step process to install LineageOS on the OnePlus 6T, including all the commands you ran, in the order you did them. I'll also include notes about potential risks of bricking your phone.Prerequisites
- Ensure your phone's bootloader is unlocked.
- Download the necessary files from the LineageOS website for OnePlus 6T (example):
- lineage-21.0-20240514-nightly-fajita-signed.zip
- boot.img
- vbmeta.img
- dtbo.img
Steps
- Reboot into Fastboot Mode:
- Turn off your phone.
- Hold the Volume Up and Power buttons until the Fastboot screen appears (or get usb debugging and in the terminal type "adb reboot bootloader").
- Flash vbmeta Image:
- This step ensures that the verification of boot and recovery images is disabled, which is essential for custom ROMs.
- fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
- Flash dtbo Image:
- Flashing the DTBO image updates the device tree overlays, which is necessary for hardware configuration.
- fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
- Flash the Boot Image to All Slots:
- This installs the LineageOS recovery, replacing any existing recovery or boot image.fastboot flash --slot=all boot boot.img
- Reboot into LineageOS Recovery from the fastboot menu or by typing fastboot reboot recovery:
- After flashing the boot image, reboot into the new recovery mode.
- fastboot reboot recovery
- Sideload the LineageOS ROM:
- In the LineageOS recovery, select the option to sideload the ROM.
- On your computer, run the following command:
adb sideload lineage-21.0-20240514-nightly-fajita-signed.zip
serving: 'lineage-21.0-20240514-nightly-fajita-signed.zip' (~47%) adb: failed to read command: SuccessNote: The error adb: failed to read command: Success might appear, but if the percentage reaches near 47%, it typically means the process was successful.adb sideload lineage-21.0-20240514-nightly-fajita-signed.zip
Consider this a draft. If I learn more, I'll update this here, unless a mod removes this post for some reason, I'll just post this on another sub or make my own oneplus 6t sub.
edit:
Errors I was getting before. (This will help people who are searching for a solution)
Related, I used adb instead of fastboot for the image because of this error (might not be the exact error. This is reconstructed):
fastboot flash system < waiting for any device > Sending sparse 'system_a' 1/4 (766924 KB) OKAY [ 19.030s] Writing 'system_a' OKAY [ 0.001s] Sending sparse 'system_a' 2/4 (786417 KB) FAILED (remote: 'Error: Last flash failed : Volume Full') fastboot: error: Command failedlineage-21.0-20240514-nightly-fajita-signed.zipFor some unkown reason fastboot was giving me a Volume Full error, which wasn't an issue with adb sideload lineage-21.0-20240514-nightly-fajita-signed.zip
Also, here's what TWRP will give you if you're on any Android after 10:
fastboot boot twrp-3.7.0_9-0-fajita.img Sending 'boot.img' (33116 KB) OKAY [ 1.010s] Booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error') fastboot: error: Command failedSo if you're getting this, you'll have to use the method at the start of this post.

The car is a 2016 Ford Taurus SHO. I have two fobs. Problem: Sometimes they lock, sometimes they don’t. Will lock but no horn beep. Trunk release does not work. Sometimes it will say key not in car. Attempts to fix: Replaced both batteries. Removed power from car battery for 45 minutes. Before I tear apart the interior to replace the remote receiver anyone have thoughts or ideas?

I have carried a Fenix LD12 2017 with AA and 14500s for a few years now and I'd like to find another similarly sized flashlight to replace it (they don't make it anymore and mine is showing it's age/wear pretty badly).

submitted by pornviewer_man to flashlight [link] [comments]
I'd love to have:
- Same form factobatteries. I like 14500 with the fallback of AA if needed.
- The hard one. Does anybody make a dual switch type flashlight like the LD12 (2017)? I want an endcap switch to turn it on, and a memory of the last mode it was in AND a secondary switch for mode select. I hate fucking with the same switch to change modes. I was hoping the SP10 Pro would be great with Arduil 2, and it's neat but single switch requires lockout to be pocket friendly and that ruins the usability.
- High CRI in something 4000k or preferably 3500k. I can do LED mods to make this happen if needed.
- A little more brightness because sometimes the LD12 isn't quite enough.
2024.05.19 02:58 isawyoushine Is the electric company full of shit?
To start with, electricity is like magic to me. I don't understand it. I can work with DC on a pragmatic level but AC is complete witchcraft.
I live in Virginia USA and our electricity provider (Dominion Energy) has gone through our area , replacing our old meters with "smart meters" which, as I am told, can be read remotely, as well as being much more accurate. Everybody's bill seems to skyrocket after the new meter gets installed. I'm talking by 50% plus. When asked about it, Dominion representatives emphasize that the new meters are "more sensitive" and even suggest unplugging fixtures when not in use. This seems like bullshit to me. And I am not alone, I've heard it from lots of people, same story.
What gives? Does a toaster actually use power just by being plugged in and if so, how? How full of shit is Dominion Energy?
