    Has anyone thought about returning to Flourescent lighting?

    With cheap LED bulbs, I can literally see RF interference lines in my cameras. The Fiet Electric bulbs are the worst. GE or Phillips are not bad.

    Has anyone thought about returning to Flourescent lighting?

    I wish I could go back to incandescent, but you can’t get them anymore, except for a bulb for an oven. I remember the old days when Detroit Edison would give you a new bulb if you took your burned out one in to one of their offices.

    Your Car May Soon Be Monitoring Everything You Do Behind The Wheel

    Not soon. It’s already here. My ‘25 Bronco Sport has a driver facing camera and can tell when I take my hands off the wheel or take my eyes off the road. It will display a pop up message when I do either. It already knows if I don’t fasten my seatbelt. I am sure they store this information...

    Get a dashcam. Period!

    Although there are 3 OEM cameras (driver, lane assist, rear) in my '25 Bronco Sport, I installed my own mirror and rear camera. Too many numbskulls near me blowing through red lights, and weaving in and out of traffic. Makes me a better driver since the I know the footage could be used...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I've been tinkering with Meshtastic (MT) and Meshcore (MC). So far it's been a bust for me. So far MT has been a huge dissapointment for me. Everyone is using medium-fast in SoFla (which is not the recommended default and deviates from the rest of Florida), which doesn't work for me becase i...

    Gasoline-- how much where YOU are??

    I got bad news for you. 91 octane has ethanol in it unless you buy an E0 formulation. Higher ethanol fuels are a scam perpetrated on the consumer to indirectly subsidize the corn “farmer”, which in the US are owned mostly by large corporations. Ethanol based fuels have a lower heating value...

    The Birth, Life, and Death.... of Radio Shack.

    The good old days where you could buy discrete electronic parts, projects, and caustic chemicals to etch your own circuit board. They used to sell a two pack of contact cleaner spray cans and a rag in a blister pack. Perfect Xmas gift to make dreams come true. Good times.
