Yes, the problem with all new material is it is not offensive enough. You got it.
No, the problem is that they - as in , three camera sitcoms - are not willing to explore boundaries. Good comedy explores boundaries and that space where the brain goes "oh no they did not just say that" is often where the best stuff is.
IF they manage to pull it off correctly. If they don't, all the actors get booed and their show gets cancelled, so of course they're going to go for bland over edgy.
Try Mint Mate, the desktop environment is lighter than Cinnamon. When I was running systems from that era, Mate was much speedier than KDE / Gnome 3.
After that it's just looking at what's running after boot up and deciding whether you need it or not. As long as it's not hogging precious RAM/CPU don't worry about disabling it.
Bet it isn't more than 15 minutes before pieces of metal come out.
That's just a materials engineering problem at that point.
And does it really matter if your mach 6 hypersonic missile only has a 1500km range before its engine blows up? Still rather handy to have a few around.
I would put a temperature sensor on the line feeding to your shower to trigger on a temperature rise, but it all depends whether it's accessible somewhere. Setting your trigger to something like 33 degrees would mean it only triggers on warm showers, cold showers you're on your own.
Well seeing it's been 9 years since then, and BYD has become one of the world's leading EV manufacturers in the meantime, one can hope that they've learnt a few things along the way.
It was the first step up from Windows 3.11 which was basically a DOS GUI. It was rough, but definitely an improvement. Compare that to the latest "updated OS" from Microsoft now.
And 30 years ago it was quite easy to do dumb shit that completely ruined your system, be it in DOS, Win95, or OS/2.
Example from OS/2 - deleting the image file used for the desktop background in presentation manager (OS/2's core GUI) meant your system could no longer boot, and when you can't just google shit to sort things out, you were essentially up for a reinstall at that point.
and then the Chinese cars actually turned up, and they were well made and got 5 star safety ratings.
That's because they're on the fifth or sixth generation of EVs. They've worked out the kinks. They've figured out what's necessary to get good safety ratings in world markets, and how to make it all relatively cheaply.
Meanwhile the rest of the world are on about their 2nd or 3rd generation, and it shows.
I took the antenna down and testing it again on the ground, it's more like 0.8 ohms center to outside. That is a dead short and likely my problems. Thanks!
Some antenna designs can be a dead short at DC and present a correct RF load. But the one you have is very likely a collinear design with "stacked" elements, which should be open circuit.
Everything else you described sounds normal. So hopefully this is it!
Try running just off the battery for a little bit with the power supply off and unhooked, to see if it's supply related.
Check the inside both sides of the N connector, I've seen bad punching/forming of the connector body leave a little bit of metal swarf in them which can short them.
Check the continuity of, and for a short circuit between, the inner and screen conductors of that tiny Lora antenna cable. You might need a needle to get the centre pin on the mhf-4 end.
Check for an open circuit between centre pin and outside of your antenna, there should be no continuity with that antenna design.
Take the antenna off and put a 17cm length of bell wire in the N connector centre socket pin and try that, that is pretty close to the length you need for 915MHz. Don't stretch the pin socket doing that though.
And check for a stretched pin, or a pin that's been pushed back into the N connector, on both sides of the connector. The centre pin and corresponding socket should be nearly flush with the top of the connector.
Take the antenna from your other device and try it ( u.fl should fit ), just in case you've got a mislabeled antenna that's 868 instead of 915MHz.
Well, antennas are pretty simple physical devices so a close visual inspection is the next step, looking for damage to insulators and spacers, etc
Eggbeater antennas also usually have a bit of phasing coax that by necessity sits out in the weather between the connections to the two elements, probably best to eyeball that too.
It comes with every phone and is the lowest common denominator.
So I can ask a recipient what messaging-app-de-jour they are using, and then install said app , or I have to convince them to use MY messaging-app-de-jour and get them to install it. All this has to happen outside preferred channels of communication, because we haven't yet figured out what shared methods we can communicate with.
Orrrrr I could just send them a SMS and know that even if they are using the shittiest, most locked down non-free piece of crap phone possible, their phone will go 'bing! ' and they will receive my message.
Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of....
Not introducing, RE - introducing, just like how you could before. Alllllll the way back to Windows95, UNTIL YOU MESSED WITH IT.
Basically the whole post is "blah blah blah we screwed around with things so much blah blah blah we messed up file explorer blah blah blah we're working at putting some minor things back and walking back forced updates a little and cramming AI into everything because that's what we really want to do."
If you have a 1500km range then all the people who can't charge at home only need to charge it somewhere else once a fortnight.
And it's also a big fuck you to all the people who claim they have a hard requirement to drive across continents every weekend and thus simply cannot drive an EV ever.
Monoculture isn't great.
Having and maintaining other options is good for if/when things go bad.
