    Need recommendations for a battery charger

    I have bought and use a couple of the cheap no-name red plastic ones. The problem is mostly that the cords are short and flimsy. The internal electronics and the charging logic is decent. If a battery is too low for an automatic charger to start, temporarily connect a good battery in parallel...

    Wow, Tesla laying off more than 10% of its world wide workforce, two Top Executives leaving

    The problem was that selling of bad loans continued up the chain. Everyone nearer the bottom who knew the borrower was not qualified had no reason to care because they would get paid anyway. The borowers had no reason to care either. What's the worst that could happen, they'll get bad credit...

    Anyone with experience w/ Intel i225/i226 network issues?

    That icon is a globe with an X in the corner meaning "No Internet." It replaces the one that looks like a flatscreen monitor which somehow means "Internet connected" Check the motherboard maker's support site to see if there is a chip firmware upgrade. Intel does not publish the upgrades...

    HF Preditor 9500 Inverter Gas Leak

    To take the carb bowl off to see the float and needle, take out the two screws holding the solenoid on the bottom (they are likely to be extremely tight) then unscrew the nut and pull the bowl off. When you hold the carb upside down you should not be able to blow air through the fuel inlet...

    Anyone with experience w/ Intel i225/i226 network issues?

    Those chips use firmware which runs on a CPU core inside the NIC chip. The firmware boots into the NIC from a small flash chip dedicated to this purpose. The early versions of the firmware were buggy. Replacing the Windows driver does not upgrade the firmware in the flash chip. There is a...
