- Comment on How do I get my oscilloscope to read voltage correctly? 1 week ago:
Thank you for your very detailed response! My goal is to do automotive diagnostics so I’ll be working on the 13v range at the most. It looks like I should have sprung for the 2 channel picoscope which cost around $200. I knew going in that this scope would have limitations, but I didn’t fully understand what they are. Fortunately many sensors used for diagnostics work in the mv range. I’m mostly looking at relative comparisons such as cam and crank sensor correlation, an amp clamp (1mv output per amp), canbus, voltage fluctuations, and pulse sensors.

- Comment on Is it possible to reverse pit a copcar before they pit you? Like if you know a cop is going to pit you on their right side, can you use your left back end to hit them first? 4 weeks ago:
Your best bet would be to hit the gas as that will transfer weight to the rear and make it less likely that they would successfully be able to spin you. Otherwise you could stand on the brakes as that would put them suddenly ahead of you then you could pit them, although you would risk wrecking and being caught.

- Comment on Raspberry Pis are cheaper than Mini PCs again 1 month ago:
I’ve used cheaper thin clients in the past. You can get them much cheaper than $50 and they come ready to go with storage, power supply, and case.
- Comment on Raspberry Pis are cheaper than Mini PCs again 1 month ago:
The price didn’t go down, he’s factoring in current ram prices. $250 for an rpi 5 is wild.
- Comment on OpenWRT router 1 month ago:
I’m the past the issue has been limited storage for newer versions and possibly ram. It should list those specs on the open wrt site.

- Comment on Whats the best use for 75 dollars? 2 months ago:
This is what I do. I recently bought 3x rx480 graphics cards for $90 total and 3x office PCs for $150 total and sold for $450 total. You just have to watch for deals.
I also made !flipping@lemmy.world for this kind of stuff, but it’s basically dead as lemmy is mostly anti capitalism and sees flipping as dirty.
- Comment on What is the cheapest console to get and collect for that still holds up? 2 months ago:
Nintendo DS lite is cheap and good. You can get them from Japan off of eBay and get colors that are Japan exclusive. Sometimes you can buy them as ‘not working’ and it just needs a battery or just the buttons need to be cleaned. Just don’t buy one that needs a new top screen as they’re hard to replace and cost too much compared to just buying a different one. You can get flash carts for them for cheap and load every game onto an SD card.
- Comment on RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders 2 months ago:
One thing I’ve run into is not performance with old hardware but missing features from the CPU/GPU. Think of tpm 2.0 requirements for Windows 11. There’s other obscure instruction sets that newer games and programs require such as resizeable bar if you want to run a local llm.

- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 2 months ago:
I wonder if people don’t realize that running ai models requires high amounts of vram compared to system ram. They also might not realize that there is a ram chip shortage which doesn’t necessarily mean ram sticks themselves. FOMO will likely drive up the prices more than anything.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 2 months ago:
The used market is always like that with the old top of the line stuff. If you look at old high end cpus the highest spec is always super high in price even though it’s not as good as something newer you could get for a lower price. People just see higher number = better so they go for more cores and higher clock speeds. I’ll bet you couldn’t notice the difference between two sticks of 16gb vs 4 sticks of lower end 8gb ddr4. I’m seeing that the rgb sticks are quite a bit higher in price. I’ve seen that if I build a pc with old components and throw it in a glass case with cheap rgb lights that I get a lot of responses immediately. I have to wait a lot longer to sell a plain looking business pc even when it’s higher specs and newer.
