  1. No worries. Amazon and WD are taking care of me well
  2. First let me say that this is in no way associated with SMD or any of it's members. I just want to share my experience and this seemed like the proper section. I ordered a hard drive through Electronica Direct on Amazon. It was a nice Western Digital drive. I got the package in 'bulk packaging' - the drive was in an anti-static bag wrapped in bubble wrap. Not in your typical WD packaging. Fast forward to a year and a half later, the drive fails. Called up WD customer service and they have no record of that drive being produced. I even ran some of their software to look at the drive and that confirmed that it was, in fact, not a true WD drive. I'm not sure if this is their entire business practice, but I think this is definitely something to be aware of. If they are selling counterfeit drives (knowingly or not) - what's to say that other things they are selling aren't fake too? Also: Amazon and WD themselves have been very helpful in getting this resolved. To hats off to their C/S. The seller on the other hand? Not so much...
  3. Wishing I am 21. Still got 2 and a half years to go....

  4. Try this: Drive your car around for a bit, then turn it off and unhook ALL wires from the battery negative terminal. That way you will know for sure if it is some sort of parasitic draw or if it's the battery itself
  5. Ugh... Youtube and the stupid gangnam style thing....

  6. Just saw a minivan with a carabiner on it. Lol. Let me go grab my bicycle and give you a 30 second head start. Then it would be even

      Carabiner never did much for me. No one ever wants to race me on he street.

  7. Or go 14v with a ton of batteries
  8. Try a couple charge/discharge cycles?
  9. Put it through a couple cycles, That should help out. You'd really want to get a bigger charger though. Like a 15a charger. You can leave the battery hooked up in you car and turn your lights on to drain it. Check the voltage with a DMM every hour and when it drops into the 10s, turn your lights off and the charger on
  10. Water. Like a boss
  11. The more the tests come back normal, the more I keep freaking out that I might have some uncurable disease like ALD or MS or something. I'm scared as fuck right now

      I know its hard but you just have to try your best to calm down..and relax.  Being stressed out or worried won't change the outcome or diagnoses.  I always try and find something to take my mind off whatever is wrong at the time.

      I am so lost lol. I don't live on this site enough, I guess.. I'll try harder!!

      sayhuh?

      ahh ok I found it. Damn I am behind on times.

  14. its wireless...its a wifi remote that can control a bunch of go pro's at once. The phone app will do the same thing but you get to see what you are filming. It should be pretty epic the app won't be working for the black edition unitl the 14th ftmfl though... I wonder if the waterproof case you put on there might help to dampen the bass so the mic doesn't distort.... Might be worth a test?
  15. That's sweet! Can't it do something nuts like 240fps at lower resolutions?
  16. Well.. What do you have for an alt?
  17. Sorry for the language in my previous status!

      Jesus that sucks, it almost sounds like EOA but you already got a CT so I pray they find whatever this is man!

  19. What to you mean what does he mean? It's music, with bass that's loud AKA an amplitude of something like -5db
  20. Never thought about that... Now I'm curious too The only advantage I saw of aluminum over copper was weight
