Seat Safety Switch posted:Yeah, I don't think you can run DD-WRT on any of the outsourced cost-cutting WRT54Gs (v4 and above?) I got DD-WRT micro running on what I think was a v5 at one point. I never used it as anything more than a wireless client bridge but it worked alright when my network was all 802.11g. With all that said, these days anything with "Linksys" on the box (any era - pre-Cisco, Cisco-owned, or Netgear-owned) isn't worth the poo poo it's made of. I've got a LAPN600 "business" wireless access point where the 2.4GHz radio has poo poo the bed, and even when it worked my Western Digital AC1300 (again, acting just as an access point) outperformed it. It's actually kind of a shame WD's networking biz didn't take off because I've got two of those AC1300s and they were a screaming deal for the performance. Not as much range as the current crop of $200 AC routers, but at short distances the performance is the same and I got them for about $80 each.

BrokenKnucklez posted:You know that might not be a bad unit. I sing their praises any time I can in the Networking thread in SH/SC - I've got a bridge set up using some Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M5s and even though both endpoints are in far from ideal locations, it's a solid 150Mbps link that I seriously have not had to touch once in the year+ since I set it up the first time.

the spyder posted:Costco batteries = Interstate batteries. Both are made in the same factory/assembly line with the same quality of internals. At least per my neighbor who works for our local Johnson Controls battery plant. It's not like they even brand them differently. The last two batteries I had in the Ranger were from Costco and looked just like the Interstate from Firestone that's in my GMC. The difference is entirely Costco service and warranty policies, which are loving amazing to deal with. Aside from the GMC, I'll never buy a battery anywhere else if I can avoid it.

What you really, really want for a sunburn is Solarcaine spray with aloe. Thanks to the lidocaine in it, it's the best thing I've ever used for a sunburn.

I tell you what, Lowes and Home Depot are clearly in cahoots. Sometime in the last couple of weeks both of them bumped their closing time from 10PM to 9PM.  That

Coasterphreak posted:If I should be asking this in SA mart let me know IOC. Yeah, if anyone wants to actually take you up on that, take it to SAMart. Cat Terrist posted:Yes I regard a gas axe as a household item. Seriously, I think our version of 'household item' might be a bit off  I'd chuck it up in a vise and go after it with my not-Dremel but I consider both of those must-haves anyway.Do you have something you can hold it in while you hammer it back and forth? Could try to use that to bend it back and forth until it breaks / repeat until no chunk is big enough to be legible. Otherwise, just hammer it forever on a rough surface. Or we could go full on Rube Goldberg here. Epoxy it to the bottom of a cinderblock, tie a rope to the cinderblock, go driving with the dogtag side down while holding the rope.

Cat Terrist posted:Weeeeeeeeeeeell....... I guess this shows my age but I can remember when vises and gas axes WERE seen as houehold items. No self respecting garage would be without either. Having a decent toolset was a rite of passage for any male. Yep. I think my garage might be the second most well stocked one in my whole subdivision. Had a neighborhood garage sale this weekend and nearly any garage that was open was either just full of junk, or immaculately clean and empty.

some texas redneck posted:One of many signs spotted at the library: This is up there with the people pushing Prop 122 here. The angles they're taking? "Vote Yes To Prevent Child Abuse". What's the law actually say? Full text here but it's basically yet another stupid salvo in the pissing war between AZ and the Feds. Because somehow trying to tell the federal government to gently caress off, saves the children.

Christ why did I bother listing parts on Craigslist. Got a guy who keeps wondering why I don't want to meet at my house, why I want to know what parts he wants to actually buy so I can bring them, and apparently can't see the fact that every single part is photographed in the ad itself.

meatpimp posted:I've used "The Right Stuff" a couple times, but don't really trust it because it seems like magic. Is it really magic? It's really magic. It was the only poo poo that would seal the end gaskets of my old SBC the first time, every time. Geirskogul, since the ACVW engine is about as common as the SBC, I've got to imagine there are rubber gaskets out there for it.

Pham Nuwen posted:Maybe I'm remembering backwards, and the . is supposed to be allowed but Google used to have some issue with it, meaning john.doe and johndoe would sometimes get each other's mail or some poo poo. You're supposed to be able to just add a . anywhere in the Gmail username portion and have it still work. However, I've got first.last@gmail.com and someone else either must have registered firstlast@gmail.com or just doesn't realize they don't own it - because I occasionally get emails meant for someone who is very much not me, living in another state

SoCal has way more homeless than AZ - the climate here is damned harsh in the summer. Correct, people are allergic to turn signals here. The broken roads are a California thing. They have gently caress-all for money relative to how many roads they have, and how many vehicle-miles get driven on those roads. You'll notice a massive increase in quality as soon as you cross the Colorado into Arizona.

rscott posted:Um excuse me celeron 300As were faster than the equivalent pentium II and could easily be over clocked to 450 with a simple 66 to 100 fsb change, via never had a cpu that wasn't unmitigated garbage Still have a soft spot for the old 300A. The last pre-built desktop we'd ever bought was a Pentium II 350, and shortly afterwards my dad decided he wanted to have a second desktop and heard how cheap / easy it was to put together something with the 300A and an Abit BH6. Put it together for about 1/4 of the cost of the prebuilt box and when we finished overclocking both of them, they ran neck and neck in any benchmark you'd throw at them. We eventually swapped the CPUs between the two because while the 300A would do 450MHz on stock voltage (which was all the pre-built box would supply)... the PII 350 would do 466 with a couple tenths extra. 133MHz FSB on a 440BX and PC100 RAM
