Unbreakable adapter that fits in a 34mm socket. Still want a 19mm one for my kit, I have 1 more print to try, if that fails I put a 19mm barrel nut in it.

Test print worked with a ratchet, but need to make it beefier to handle an impact driver.

A tip for making those @tinkercad curves / fillets look good and not completely awful is make the transparent cutouts dimensions square. Would be nice if it had an option you could tick that made them simmetrical, I doubt anyone wants ugly looking fillets if they can avoid it.

In other news, I love Tinkercad, it's the only thing on the internet that keeps me sane or occupied in a good way.

Symmetrical typo is hurting my eyes.

This is how I get around supports failing on my 0.5mm x 1mm 3d prints. I just switched from trees to lines.

Next things to print will be a block that sits on top of the jack and locks into the tow bar mount. And a spare tyre hanger adapter. These should all be fine with solid PETG. I have no idea where the cars original tools went, but I prefer using an impact driver anyway.

Update on the Intel Mac Mini 2014 I didn't know I had. I think my brother gave it to me, I installed Sonoma with a patch and it ran like garbage, so I put it aside. Anyway, a few days ago I found it and installed a 2TB Samsung SSD, Ubuntu and Steam.

Current activities. Installing Ubuntu on an Intel Mac Mini I forgot I had. It previously had a hacked install of Sonoma and was incredibly slow. Going to see if it is usable for gaming.

I forget which i5, 8GB ram, Iris Pro Graphics 5200. It's quite OK for gaming, or the old school games I care about, so far Worms Reloaded and Half Life run fine. A graphical glitche in Worms due to the driver being the bare minimum, but I can make it unglitch if it appears.

Overall not bad for a small Intel box, that I can use along side my M4 Mac Mini. Would probably be better gaming value if I dual booted a 32 bit Mac OS, then I can play old 32 bit mac games.

🤬nice one Bunnings (Australian hardware store) I grabbed 2 of these M12 long nuts from the same container and one is imperials Going to make a tool for winding down my spare wheel with an impact driver seeing as I lost the one from my car. I standardise jack connections to 19mm

That way I just bring an impact driver and 19mm and I can change a tyre or jack my car or someone else’s car with the same tool. Stuff doing any of that by hand in this day and age.

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners. Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads. Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was. Got a root shell. then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems. This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Be me, order a 1TB Samsung EVO SSD for my Linux 2014 Intel Mac Mini. Then 10 minutes later realise it also has PCIE and I can get a cable for it.

Not a big deal, it can handle 2 drives. But I don’t need complex options that I now need to research.

How to confirm you have a board fault and not a fault in the LCD circuitry, just unplug it. You can observe the boot loop via the backlight flashing. The voltage is pulsing on this MOSFET, so I guess that means the protection circuit is shutting it down.
FixTechStuff 🛠️@FixTechStuff1Oct 20
Current activities, Samsung monitor protection mode / boot loop. Hopefully the answer is somewhere here.

Can also unplug the backlight and monitor its voltage rail to figure out if the backlight is faulty. A short somewhere will trigger the protection circuit.

Only now I realise I should have installed a 32 bit mac OS and then Ubuntu. The 32 bit mac games I have on steam are uninstallable on 64 bit or arm.
