Someone smarter than me will have to chime in on that one.

Possibly. Info is for Decathlon bottom of the barrel bikes in Europe years ago. Decathlon being mostly a decent quality brand, their cheapest bikes were still finished in France rather than direct from China. The documentary was mostly about how much they were saving by shipping the frames...

Geographically constrained ignorance of local specifics overseas is not proof of cheating on their side. PRC could very well be used if the product is also meant for a market where Taiwan is selling products under Made in ROC. Or any place where "China" is a more ambiguous concept than in the...

LG Gram is the best laptop I've ever dealt with. And I have two critters at home fed on Apple products, and have dealt with pallets worth of company laptops. They did the smart thing of NOT making it out of solid metal - I don't need to chop wood or drive nails with it - so it's feather light...

I suspect this where it breaks. That usb might be going offline, and/or not detected fast enough on restart, so for a very short tune Windows thinks it has only one monitor and acts accordingly. Set the main monitor to be plugged in the bona fide hdmi. Check the power settings and make sure...

It doesn't matter. Leave the monitors always on. Any monitor newer than 20 years should go-to sleep when the pc is off. What could matter is if some of the monitors are on the motherboard's integrated video ports, and the others are on a separate video card. One could be getting "awake" before...

The settings will save when you rearrange the monitors in the menu and hit Apply. If they keep reverting to a different layout - I'd look for electrical grounding issues and static electricity discharges. Especially if your monitors are older NEC monitors. A static discharge will joyfully...

Check OEM by part number on Ebay from Korean sellers. I got mine there at close to 50% off. Kayaba on a bike - yes. Kyb on a car - no.

Well, the CFMoto 700 referred not to the engine's displacement in cubic centimeters, but to the volume of the oil pan in cubic centimeters, if the proud explanation of their representative at the motorcycle show 20 years ago is to be believed...

The secret to get the psychopatic look out of the seagull is to use a powerful enough flash. Anything with a guide number of 36 or higher will do. At close enough, a GN20 will also do. TTL brand-specific flashes are widely available from chinaland for a dime a dozen. The problem is they have to...

This ^^^ It is statistically impossible for an established forum member to not see 90% of the new questions as something that has already beend discussed at length. If we had to discuss only new stuff, in an oil forum - good luck with that. A forum strictly dedicated to 10mm wrenches would have...

Here you go, Sir 😇

Found what my pipe is :) I didn't take pics, but here's one: https://www.mbsdpipes.com/product/chacom-safari-3b-smooth-bent-brandy-estate-briar-pipe-unsmoked/ Mine also has the shop's name engraved at the factory - Chacom apparently did that for their official resellers. I realize the only...

Not sure how they are doing nowadays, but the systems on my 2017 Santa Fe (I only have lane departure warning, active cruise control and emergency braking) are second to none. They are easy, efficient, not-obtrusive one bit, easy to turn on and back on. The only thing that got remotely close to...

What were the rules about ai-generated stuff in the forum again ?

Him who has never sinned... The day I finally boight my first moped (a real 50cc with gears and all, mind you, a most amazing Simson S51 Enduro, why did this thing come with almost ape-hangers I never figured out), a few things happened: - I discovered some of the wonderful laws of...

Indeed, and yet I gave the definitive answer to it in post #12 https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/financial-graphic-comparison-of-buying-a-new-or-used-car.396487/#post-7269752

Just dug those out, from the times when I was un-lazy enough to care about photography (circa 2011-ish) 😇

I use Amplifi Teleport to get into my home router from elsewhere. Helps with Hulu, they are quite touchy with where I log in from. I wish they had an app for Windows or Mac, but so far - iOS and Android only. I have a Teleport hardware AP device that was amazing, but it's no longer made, and...
