    Try building something. Just get a normal bike you like and strap on a Bafang or something.

    Issue with that is the cargo requirement, as the cheapest cargo bike (atleast that I am aware of) is the Mongoose Envoy, which is $790 US, add $800 for a 750w Bafang setup and I am at RadWagon money for a worse overall bike.

     

    That is, unless im totally missing something.

  2. I havent shopped in several years, and now find myself moving deep in to a busy city for uni and it does not make economical sense to bring my Jeep with me. Last I checked, the RadWagon was basically the perfect pike for my needs, but the issue is at the moment is that it's backordered until September and I would really like to have it by mid August. While I would like to hang around the RadWagon's price, i am okay with spending more for better goods. Necessities in order of importance are:

    Cargo capability

    Comfort/Range (tied)

    Extraneous features (GPS, Bluetooth support, ect...)

     

    Is there anything else worth considering, or should i just try to track down a RadWagon somewhere? TYIA!

    The Diagnostic LED blinks red 4 times and the system beeps 4 times (once per second), then a 2-second pause follows:

    This indicates power failure.

    To resolve the issue, complete the following steps:

    1) Open the access panel, and ensure that the necessary power supply cables are connected to the system board.

    2) Locate a faulty device by removing all devices, and then reinstalling one at a time until the workstation fails:

    - Disconnect AC power to the workstation.
    - Remove all the devices.
    - Reinstall a device.
    - Reconnect AC power.
    - Continue adding devices to ensure that all devices are functioning properly.
    - Replace the device causing the failure.

    3) Verify the power supply functionality.

    - Disconnect AC power.
    - Z400: Remove all internal power supply cables from the system board.
    - Z600 & Z800: Remove the Power Supply from the chassis
    - Plug in AC power.

    If the power supply fan spins, and the LED illuminates, then the power supply is good. Replace the system board.
    If the power supply fan does not spin, or the LED does not illuminate, then replace the power supply.

     

    Taken from the HP site. You tried all this? What were the results?

  4. I can say, ive been very happy with my temps this time around. During the COVID event my CPU was getting quite toasty, and my fan config was very not optimal for my GPU's, but now that im under a 280MM CLC my 3900x is at 70c, and both of my GPU's are at 62c (One hybrid, one triple fan axial). Thats after being at full tilt since the event started. Ambient is somewhere around 30c.

     

    Water cooling FTW i guess!

     

  5. See my signature for the Guide to Display Cables/Adapters, and what can or cannot work. As igor said, you need an active converter. The logic required to do so cannot be fit in to a simple cable.

  6. I mean, oil is a broad term.

     

    Motor oil? Mineral Oil?

     

    The latter has been done plenty of times to cool PC's, with very good results. However, mineral oil does nasty things to plastics sometimes. I believe Linus had an issue where after he disassembled his old mineral oil PC the DIMM slots on the motherboard broke apart.

  7. the nickle is plated over copper. All other things even, nickle plating doesn't add or remove much from the thermal conductivity and is purely for appearence. I also prefer the EKWB for appearance, either the aceal or plexi topped blocks.

     

    I believe the corsair is cheaper (though I may be wrong), so pick your poison really.

    Thanks for all the input.   It really helps a lot.   I think I'm going to test out the be quiet! Silent Wings 3 140mm fan.  Based off the Amazon reviews they have a good mix of air flow and static pressure.

    Remember to quote people so they see your reply David. 

     

    I use a bunch of SW3 120mm's in my build. Very happy with them.

    I'm reluctant to add new contact methods to that list unless there's a clear need for them, and I don't think being used in two games really meets that bar. I'm open to reconsidering in future, but for now I think the freeform biography and about sections should be enough if you do want to direct people to your Riot account.

     

    (Star Citizen will be removed at some point, if I remember).

    How it's survived this long is beyond me

  10. Full disclosure, writing this on my 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” + Magic Keyboard.

     

    I 100% expected this to be a Linus missing the mark extravaganza as the other iPad reviews of late have been. However, i think he basically got it.

     

    I am, by trade, a device repair technician at a business that I own. The device i use to get business is basically irrelevant to how much money I will make. All I need is something that turns on every time with no major weird quirks, and a good battery. So, I bought an MacBook Air. And while it was CERTIANLY an upgrade from my slowly dying Thinpad X201T, it still felt... slow? Not slow as in the sense of things took to long to open, that was fine. It was a very quick device every day. But it kind of felt like I was doing around a race track in a Rolls Royce Phantom, while everybody else were in Katerham’s. Like a massive vessel being lazily thrown around by a rough tide. Trying to fight an MMA champion with a sledge hammer. You get the point.

     

    Switching from my MacBook Air to my iPad made everything feel faster. While I have no hard proof that switching made me make more money, every action feels sharper.

     

    By hobby I am a writer and video editor, and by education I am a student majoring in law. As a writer, I love the keyboard. These new switches feel fantastic, and the key caps have this soft coating on them that just feel excellent. The adjustment of the display also helps with neck pain, an issue i was having with my MacBook Air. I would either tilt the display back enough to solve that and strain my eyes, or bring the display close enough to see comfortably and strain my neck. As a video editor, truth be told I haven’t actually had anything to edit as of yet. But, I know the power is there. And finally, as a student, the extra snap compared to even a quick laptop just makes me more productive. The ONLY thing that sucks, and this isn’t Apple’s fault, is that I cant have 2 instances of chrome running side by side. I have to use chrome and safari if i want 2 browsers open. I don’t mind it, but it was an adjustment.

     

    I have already written quite a bit on this keyboard between school and my hobby, and can 100% say that this is only a quarter-step down from the full fledged magic keyboard on the new MacBooks. But, everything else i gain over those device 100% makes up for it.

     

    Overall, the iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard feels like what the Surface Pro wishes it was. A way to use a device that can adapt to any situation that comes to mind, yet is not conventional in any of them. A sort of Swiss Army knife device. If you can only carry one knife with you for every situation, you pick up a Swiss Army knife. If you can only carry one productivity device with you for every situation, you pick an iPad Pro. While it is a bit unconventional in the way that you interact with it, it is quite possibly the most well rounded “laptop” we have offered to us at the moment. Plenty of power, a fantastic display, lots of battery life, a massive suite of software, and a way to interface with it that allows options that will fit almost everybody. While it isn’t the best at any one thing, I don’t feel like that’s ever been the spirit of the iPad.
