    Wi-Fi router: reliable, long-lived, low-3-figure price?

    Thanks, folks. Based on what I'm reading and hearing so far, definitely gravitating toward the UniFi stuff. I'm not an expert but I know more than the average person and I'll happily learn more if necessary for the right product. Isn't Ubiquiti basically Apple Wi-Fi alumni in their own company?

    Wi-Fi router: reliable, long-lived, low-3-figure price?

    I want the Wi-Fi router equivalent of a Toyota Hilux. Something I can set up once and never have to touch it again for like 10 years – no mysterious Wi-Fi drops, no needing to reboot it, etc. – even if it's subject to more than normal heat, dust, etc. Happy to consider commercial/industrial...

    Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 LED bulbs (H11/H9/H8) – PAIR

    Halogens have a bit less glare and cause a bit less eye strain, at a slight expense to raw illumination. I ended up preferring that balance.

    Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus

    Different category. The DWS 06 Plus is much more performance-oriented than these.

    Ah, okay. Got it. Makes sense, then.

    Have you tried the Michelin Pilot Alpin series? I was a hair's breadth from doing as you described with our M3, for similar reasons, and the Pilot Alpin PA5 kept me in the winter tire camp.

    Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 LED bulbs (H11/H9/H8) – PAIR

    That statement was referring to the 2Stroke 4.0, which just came out. I’m selling these because I went back to halogen.

    Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 LED bulbs (H11/H9/H8) – PAIR

    Used, working perfectly as of when they were pulled. Fit H11, H9, and H8 applications. Until a few weeks ago, these were the most advanced, best performing LED replacement bulbs on the market. Not just high output, but better than even other high-end LED bulbs at replicating the correct beam...

    Opened brake fluid: problems OTHER THAN lower boiling point?

    Follow-up to this as the edit window has closed. The Cal-Van 66 has 8 settings for different brake fluids: generic settings for DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1, plus individual settings for 5 specific DOT 3 fluids. I tried all the settings in the unused SRF and they all showed 0%. Only used the...

    Opened brake fluid: problems OTHER THAN lower boiling point?

    With respect.... The main question was whether there were risks to opened brake fluid other than moisture lowering the boiling point. @ctechbob answered that. No one else even tried. The unsealed-but-capped bottle of unused Castrol SRF I have right now was opened ~7 months ago. I just stuck...

    ....Huh? I mean, I'm sure I have done that in the past, but IDK what you're referring to. 😬

    Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus

    To be fair, it can be hard to convey/read tone on the Internet, and you weren't the first to question him in this thread. If I were in his shoes – if I had posted thoughtful commentary based on real expertise, and a bunch of people respond by trying to find flaws in what I had said – I can't...

    Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus

    This seems so weird to me given that Continental is, by any reasonable measure, a tier-1 company in this space. ...And also not weird at all given that this particular tire is significantly less expensive than the equivalent Michelin.

    All-season/all-weather tire with long SHELF life?

    Thanks, all. Decided to go the space saver route. (y)

    Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus

    Family member just went from Pilot Sport All Season 4 to DWS 06 Plus. Similar experience to others' here: less NVH, squidgier/number/vaguer handling with the Contis; differences are noticeable but not earth shattering. Michelins tend to be shockingly good at retaining their performance as they...
