Get them from Vessel Tools, best screwdrivers I have ever used.

Torx is superior. I could accept Robertson as well.

Ah yes, more reasons to local host.
- Comment on Plasma TV recommendations? Looking for a decent 50+ inch display for older consoles. 1 week ago:
Yeah, I already have the hdmi scalers/adapters for the non modded consoles I have. I specifically don’t want a modern tv or the features on it.

Do you know the model offhand?

Yeah, I am not super worried about the performance of the snes, its really for the later ones.

I have a snes, wii, gc, hd modded og xbox, 360, ps3, and an analogue 3d that will exist eventually. So a range of them.

When you do any kind of stone work, sanding, or grinding, PLEASE where a dust mask or filter. Its really not worth it to skip out.
- Comment on Would it be possible to build a where woof gun? 1 week ago:
Thanks for explaining, I didn’t get that from reading it. My original question and this reply were both absolutely serious and not sarcastic in nature at all.

Werewolf or “where woof”? Those would very different guns…

They get really loose. While no slouch, these trucks are not world beaters.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 2 weeks ago:
First gen tundra controls really are excellent. They and used mechanical linkages for the diverter and for the hot/cold control. The only problem is the knobs get loose over time and can break or fall off when you accellerate.
- Comment on How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue? 2 weeks ago:
In the Galaxy’s Edge series this is tangentially addressed, the TLDR is that there are other implications of being on a ship for generations that outweigh the genetic problems. The Savages have a well earned title fwiw both in origin and action. It is a bleak outlook on the concept but I don’t think it is farfetched given everything we are living through right now.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 3 weeks ago:
I have noticed more people inferring things from a small part of a reply and rather than read and try to understand it, they insted get upset about it and reply back about what they think the op said.
- Comment on I wonder what game they're trying to play 4 weeks ago:
Ah yes, Japan where Hitachi is from, famously not a company that made a magic wand.
- Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 5 weeks ago:
What I have seen is that if you get in with local car clubs, you can get autox runs for not much money. If you don’t mind dirt, rallyx or dirtx days are also a good way to get track time on a budget.
Yes, proper track days on a real circuit are expensive but when you look at the consumables like tires, brakes, oil, etc, the entry fee is minimal compared to the actual cost. Even when I had my mini, it was like that. It also really depends on the track. In Houston we have MSR and Grandsport, msr is pricey. Grandsport used to be rented for the day for like $2k and split between 10 or 15 people, that was cheaper than a speeding ticket.
Realistically, the street racing that occurs around me is all drag style highway blasts or streetlight races. None of these douches are doing circuit drives. So the $20 number wasn’t far off (at least it was before Royal Purple was shut down)
The problem of tracks getting closed is a major one. Nimby ruins it for everyone. The “racers” are also still to blame here. Its impulse control, and personal responsibility/accountability. Realistically too, a speeding ticket here is $150 minimum, plus court fees of $150ish, plus defensive driving course of $100ish so you are basically to the $500 figure anyways.
- Comment on Are Street Racers "bad people"? 5 weeks ago:
Yes. Its risky for everyone nearby, there is literally no upside. If you want to race, take it to a track. Every track I have been to has some kind of open track night for like $20 entry and you get santioned racing with proper facilities and a safety crew on standby. Its moronic to do it anywhere else.

Im using emby now for my main media hosing program but I don’t really like it or plex for music. On my mobile I use GoneMad but it doesn’t sync on its own.

- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
Does it pull the playlist data and still stream the music or does it actually make a duplicate copy of the music files on your phone?

Picard works well, I played around with it but it is still a bit tedious.

Right? Have you seen reality lately?!
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
Do you do an automatic sync or manual drag and drop?
I use syncthing for my pictures from my phone to my server and I keep saying I will do the opposite for my music but I have not gotten it organized/tagged well enough yet and I keep putting it off.

Setup was easy, it just works, its stable, and if you want the regular updates, just get the lifetime model on sale. I bought it becaue I didn’t want to spend time screwing with setup and just wanted to get my data moved snd running.

- Comment on Entry-Level NAS recommendations? 5 weeks ago:
I have not kept up with their raw disk lineup to be honest, they may be garbo but I am not sure. I have been using toshiba and seagate drives for the last 8 years which have been great.
- Comment on Entry-Level NAS recommendations? 5 weeks ago:
The WD devices also offer very limited long term support. The MyBook Live had a software exploit found a couple years after launch that allowed remote access to your files and enabled third parties to wipe your drives. Wd said “wow, that sucks, here is a $15 coupon for a new one. No, we aren’t gonna patch it. Buy a new one” I will never buy another wd device except for the raw discs.
