You beat me to it

You might look for a sony dvmc-da2 as they used to be relatively cheap until a YouTube video made people aware of them. You might be able to snag one though.

I used to feel the same. Soldering is more likely to fail because solder is brittle and it’s a high temp environment. As long as you use quality connectors and a proper crimper then it’s good.

fortunately these were all on top, but the car sits lower so my back was not too happy bending over to work on it.

We shall see, this car was a basket case and not worth the $1500 I bought it for. It has excessive oil consumption, currently a bottle of Rislone is holding that back successfully. It also currently has a brake hose which is causing the right front brake to periodically stick causing an awful smell. I will also be replacing that this weekend.

You might look into a hard start kit. It’s a secondary capacitor and a relay which helps with the extra load at startup. Get the kind with separate capacitor and relay, not the all in one kind.

It would wildly fuck with enterprise systems because you would have to have a way to verify age for the users of EVERY system. The way it is now you would have to verify the age of users of iot and smart devices. You have to have id to turn on your lights or use the refrigerator.

They could be making tens of dollars! But seriously used printers are essentially worthless.

This has basically become a wood stacking community.

Then buy a used 3060 for $250-$300

A used 1080ti is half the price of a 3060 and has more vram

@over_clox@lemmy.world keeps posting about their GMC Sonoma which was my first car in highschool. Every once in awhile one will pop up for sale in my area and I consider it.

Looks like it’s buried behind the radio/cigar lighter

You’ll be shocked when you find out what it’s for.

How I feel when I explain what a distributor is.

On darknet markets they use an escrow account and admins act as mediators, so as long as you can show that you have a valid tracking number. The issue becomes when people try to scam you by selling you broken electronics or scam buyers pulling fraud returns. Weirdly this is common with VCRs on eBay. There’s large resellers who buy good VCRs and steal parts out of them and return them. Then they resell on Amazon. I guess it comes back to having a karma system.

The issue in the US with accepting payments on behalf of sellers is that you have to then collect sales tax which is different for every locality. Then you also have to issue tax forms to the sellers for sales over a certain amount. Which leaves us with sellers collecting payments on their own which means using something like PayPal or Bitcoin. You would just have to have people build trust through reviews and hope for the best. You could base the service in a random other country so that you wouldn’t have a bunch of regulations to deal with and leave all the tax stuff up to the buyers and sellers. You’d probably run into issues with accepting credit cards though.

eBay/marketplace/etsy alternative.
