    Guess you better tell all those private pilots flying Lycoming, Continental, big radials, etc. they better stop flying those unreliable air cooled powerplants.

    Pre-wiring Help

    "MTL4 said: Given your situation with the relatively high $300 price per cable run and the fact you already have a cable conduit going into the attic (make sure that's sized for growth, 2-3" PVC preferably) I would just go with what you have. The one exception is...

    Pre-wiring Help

    You're going to stick with that? Christ.....its a friggin' RF signal not connected to any damn thing except a receiver. I'll bet you want to disable your TPMS sensors so no one will "hack" your car. So....who's the one that needs to "do a bit more reading before handing out the advice"?

    Pre-wiring Help

    Yeah....but who wants to hack a wireless Chinese doorbell.....since there's essentially nothing to hack. On another note, wireless doorbells are great for the disabled for whom you must respond....give them a couple of transmitters at common locations and a couple of receivers in the house to...

    Wireless doorbells are far easier.

    Pre-wiring Help

    A lot of houses tend to be rat's nests in the attic with wires running everywhere. Even if it costs a bit more I'd insist that all electrical, data and other wiring runs be made bundled (Velcro straps work nicely) together from source to destination. Makes walking on rafters so much more safe...

    Not safe to by Hikvision equipment since banned in US?

    Depends. If you have wired cameras on a system not connected to the internet...nothing happens. First, examine exactly WHY you need to be internet connected. If it's just to be notified you may be able to have an email sent with a still capture. Doesn't require any inward facing ports. If you...

    Not safe to by Hikvision equipment since banned in US?

    Best thing to do is run a Wireshark session when you plug the device into the network. Set it up to be logged and then at your leisure look thru the log later after you've unplugged the device from the network for analysis. Problem is network analysis is not a simple thing and Wireshark is not...

    "I really should have used non synthetic on the initial 10 hour change... time will tell.". Break in is always done with non-detergent oil and loaded right from the start. No babying allowed. Used to rebuild VW engines and was fortunate enough to live on top of a hill in PA. Straight weight 30...

    To be honest, never said it doesn't burn oil. As a matter of record, any engine that doesn't burn oil is by far the exception and for reasons of lubrication is to be avoided. Rings need modest lubrication...the cylinder/ring interface does not last long without lubrication. The matter up for...

    Wanna bet? You're bamboozled by an application.....for a Continental 40psi is fine as a lower limit for differential compression check. Lycoming thinks a quart of oil burned in an hour is normal. Damn right.....in a lot of cases they're built way worse and they still charge you quadruple the...

    Funny how mine doesn't "burn oil".....guess the nameplate is wrong.

    That's odd.....all my aircraft engines are air cooled. Guess I'll have to break the news to them that they should quit.

    Replacing IR LEDs on DS-2CD2142FWD-I cameras.....

    Have 12 of the above models....these are the ones with 30 LEDs arranged around the camera lens. They're usually treated as throw aways once the LEDs degrade or stop working. Bought a bag of 500 850nm IR LEDs from Alibaba for under $20 and fixed all of them. Toward the end I could R&R the unit in...
