Thought it’s just FM on the 2m

that’s crazy

That’s a ham indeed…

What do you usually find on that weekly net?

Funny that what got me here was actually the occasional difficulty of reaching folks in the other cars during road trips.

How far can you reach with that 2m HT?

Where I’m from, the license-free HT operation is in a specific UHF range with low power, which I have very little faith on.

What’s W6NUT?

Did the magic smoke come out?

If so, you can try replacing the chip. Some basic SMD (de)soldering is required.

If not, you can try reseating your clip. Hopefully the chip is still good. It may have more tolerance than specified.

While many comments here are correct that it would affect less than you’d expect, there are things that may not be covered.

For example:

• there’s no setting for hyperthreading
• no way to disable SATA drives, in case you’d like to be selective
• you’ll need to reflash the BIOS if you want to change boot order permanently

Also, make sure you have the correct video BIOS.

How would the lack of passive CPU powersaving affect things on your end?

I actually assembled this thing from parts, including the lid. Replacing it is not an option as it is in a very good condition except for that outer layer. I just wanted to see if I can do anything to it.

Thanks for the suggestion, tho.

Good bot.

It would be nice if these scars were actually by me 😅

But yeah I get your point

Definitely an option, but I’d rather not wrap it.

Serious question: you’d use that for your daily driver?

This reminds me of that time I accidentally roasted my college instructor in front of the class.

It was some kind of logic class for computer science. We were going thru a topic of “statement”, which is “something that has a truth value”.

I asked, “what about sarcasm?”

He answered, “sarcasm also has truth value in it, so it’s also a statement”.

Then he told me to give an example, to which I instictively gave without much thought: “this class is great!”

Had the whole class laughing while he frowned.

It was the very first day of him teaching.

How would Flatpak know which driver to install?

Still better than no update.

how about…

…some wheels

I see. That’s too bad. Thanks!

And with the land they just discovered, they’d expand their settlements.

I guess the whole genocide thing is unintended, huh?

“Whooops, we accidentally wiped out the whole population of this land. Whadya know, nobody lives here now. Somebody should definitely claim it!”
