Naja, zwischendurch muss man erstmal zum Esel werden…

#AI companies who steal other people's work to build their models accuse someone of stealing their work to build their models. 🥲

The picture shows a worn rubber bellows or boot placed on a dirty wooden workbench. The rubber part is black and has a large tear along one of its folds. It appears to be a flexible protective cover, possibly from a vehicle (like a CV joint boot or suspension component). Next to it is a black work glove with yellow text that says “GALLEE” and some certification markings. On the left side of the image, part of a metal tool (possibly a pry bar) is visible. The background wall looks stained and dirty, suggesting a workshop or garage setting.

The image appears to be a close-up view of a vehicle’s drivetrain area, likely near the front suspension and axle assembly. In the center of the image is a black rubber CV boot (constant velocity joint boot). The boot has multiple accordion-style ridges and is mounted onto the CV joint housing on the right side. A metal retaining clamp is visible around the larger end of the boot, securing it to the joint. The boot looks new and clean compared to the surrounding components. At the top of the image, there is a socket attached to a socket extension. It appears to be positioned horizontally, likely being used to tighten or secure a fastener during the CV boot installation. On the right side, part of the CV joint housing and possibly suspension or steering components can be seen, including a large bolt head. In the lower and background areas, other suspension components and parts of the subframe are visible, with typical road grime and wear. Overall, the photo captures the process of mounting a CV boot, with tools in place and the new boot being secured onto the axle assembly.

I hate replacing CV boots. It's so messy…

My phone has an IR blaster, so I can use it as a universal remote. Has saved my a*s a couple of times!
Also, I finally caved in and bought a replacement remote for my little Sony VHS-combo two years ago… 9€ with free shipping isn't that bad, I guess!

Hier ist die Schranke noch da, aber einfach 24/7 offen :D

Oh, sorry for false accusations then!
I keep mine relatively long (3-5mm), it really helps when fiddling with tiny screws and stuff. I even abuse them as spudgers for unhooking clipped together plastic cases… 😆
Downside is, they tend to accumulate a lot of muck, especially when doing car stuff…

Biting nails isn't very mature… 😄

The old ones are incredibly noisy, you can hear all the ISA bus transfers in the audio. Which somehow feels extremely nostalgic to me.
My dad's PC had an OG SoundBlaster 1.5, my first self-built PC had the OG SBpro (with dual OPL2)

Ist hier ähnlich mit der Packstation am Baumarkt. Als die Packstation neu war, war die Schranke tatsächlich noch nachts unten, nach ein paar Wochen dann nicht mehr. Gab wahrscheinlich Stunk. Seither kommt man trotz Schranke 24/7 auf den Parkplatz zur Packstation.

How do you like the self-help guides for retro collectors that @amylherndon.bsky.social and I made for @vcfsocal.bsky.social?

Kleinwindkraftanlage

Die 100km/h lassen sich doch sicher auch irgendwie anzapfen…

Electrically the size should make no difference. I mean, it's a 75Ω resistor for a video signal, there shouldn't be much load on it.
But if you want the resistors to be the same, try the MFP ¼W series, probably MFP-25BRD52-75R

Are you getting an all black video signal or no signal at all?
With the PC on, try switching the monitor off and on again, I've had this at a customer's PC where somehow the EDID handshake fails.

Jepp. Typ III.
Sogar mit alten PCMCIA-Festplatten

Ich hab einen von diesen Kartenlesern, mit denen klappt das eigentlich ganz gut. (Auch mit PCMCIA CF Adapter)

Have you checked the power rails for shorts? Might be just a shorted tantalum capacitor…

Well, I can only speak for me:
I love repairing stuff, but I'm garbage at making videos.
And I rather put my effort, time, space and money into repairing stuff than fiddling with cameras and video editing software. 🤷‍♂️

I even had the issue:
If I ran DOOM II twice, the SB32 would enter some kind of reverb loop and produce a really bad and loud feedback noise. You had to crank down reverb to a minimum with AWEUTIL to prevent this.

It simply sounds fresh, light and balanced.
The AWE cards have some really crappy samples and are an utter reverb hellhole. Because, you know, more reverb = more good.

Yeah, I fell for it too back then.
My dad and I got new PCs at the same time. I bought an SB32 while he got a cheap ESS with wavetable daughterboard for a quarter of the price.
Nowadays I feel I got ripped off…

Just a hunch, what clock speed does your ISA bus run on?

Too many CPUs?
Reminds me of a friend who ran into an issue many many years ago:
Remember when the Linux Kernel would draw a Tux in the upper left corner of the screen for each CPU core? Apparently it crashes when there are more cores than Tuxes fit on the screen…

No jacket required.

After fiddling around with standard desoldering pumps, I got an el-cheapo heated one, basically a 2-in-one soldering iron and pump.
But later I treated myself to a "real" desoldering station, when I got a great deal for one.

I can highly recommend the Zhongdi ZD-985!

Last year my boss had them just out in the open in his garden…

Back in the day, I upgraded from my SoundBlaster Pro 1.0 to a SoundBlaster 32.
I didn't know any better, so I was fine with it, it was definitely an upgrade.
But now, in hindsight: the AWE series were the worst sounding wavetable cards of their time.

I remember when we got our SB1.5 in 1991.
I had just finished playing through Space Quest 4.
I was blown away by the orchestral soundtrack the new sound card made possible.
So needless to say, I had to instantly replay it from the start.
And all the other games I recently finished as well :D
