    The knife thread

    I stopped by a army surplus store the other day and saw a knife that instantly made me think of this thread... the Kershaw Interstellar. First time I ever even heard of a "Manual OTF (out the front) knife": https://kershaw.kaiusa.com/interstellar.html Works exactly like the box-cutter style...

    Pickup Trucks

    That was my thinking, except I still bought over leased and got the 7 year warranty with our 2020 RAM 1500 (hemi). Warranty will expire Feb 2027, so I'm gonna be shopping for a new truck next year too. Knock on wood, I haven't had ANY issues that would require warranty repair - this truck has...

    Converting old video tapes?

    I think AI will definitely help with upscaling and cleaning up footage, but having the most pristine copy to work with will be the biggest advantage going forward. A lot of complaints about iMemories have to do with using inferior capturing equipment and software, but I also think a lot of the...

    Nice rigs! This is my build that sits beside my arcade machine - so it cycles through arcade related animated gifs for the aio and lcd screen. The old 3080ti looks _ok_ it, but a shiny new white 5080/5090 would look sooooo much nicer ;) Build Specs

    Converting old video tapes?

    I went down this rabbit hole a few years ago, and ultimately decided to do it myself because a) wanted to make sure it was done right (there are a lot of bad reviews for iMemories and similar shops that don't use great equipment etc) and b) I was worried about shipping damage/loss. If you...

    Nope, they don't for some strange reason. There are discords/bots devoted to tracking Canada Computer stock levels, and when a 5080 pops up there is a mad rush for people to get to the particular store ASAP. I think the longest any 5080 card has been "in stock" is like 30 minutes (there have...

    Any PC gamers upgraded to a 50 series card yet? I was thinking of it, but it's next to impossible to secure a card at the moment... pretty much have to camp out at Canada Computers - when cards to arrive they are gone in minutes :/

    I clogged my toilet with Carrots! FIXED!!!!

    Anyone play around with Google's NotebookLM much? It's pretty cool/funny/scary all at once. Ever wonder what two random AI podcaster's would think of this thread? Now we can find out 🤣🤣🤣

    What are you currently playing?

    Speaking of games I played in high school, I've been getting back into "VGA Planets" (which I played back in the mid 90s by dialing into a BBS to upload/download my turn file each day). It was one of the most addicting games for me back in the day - basically a 4x style (eXplore, eXpand...

    Haliburton Ride - Wednesday Sept 4th

    I see you are taking a bit of a detour to hit "Dyno Rd" between Haliburton and Bancroft - definitely worth it, that's a fun stretch of road :) I'm at the cottage this week which is on Monck Lake, just past Dyno Rd. I only have my TE450 up here so not really the type of bike to join your ride...

    Pickup Trucks

    Cool... seems very similar to how CanAm's locking system works in their ATVs.

    Pickup Trucks

    I don't know about GMC, but for Dodge they call that "traction control", and it's disabled in 4WD low.
