I am so far down the damned rabbit hole I can barely see the top.

Q haters be hatin' but I love this thing.

Picking up a brand new SP5K from my LGS on Monday, with the intent of running a Dead Air Wolfman.

I've seen some so-called email responses from HK customer service saying that the stock 100 degree locking piece is OK for suppressed 147 grain, and other resources saying you need the 80 degree locking piece. I have plenty of 115 and 124 grain supersonic ammo in stock, and a full case of CCI 9mm 147 grain FMJ.

My question here is... Has anybody run 147 grain in their MP5K/SP5K with the stock 100 degree locking piece? Have you experiencing any roller pitting with it?

I'll end up buying the genuine HK 80 degree piece, but having trouble locating one in stock. J

S&W 986 Pro Series in 9mm.

Picked up this sweet used gun a week ago for $700, in almost-new condition with original case and docs. These things were super expensive when new, $1400+ so I'm pretty stoked about the deal.

It had a few handling marks up near the end of the barrel on the side shown, and I ran some grey Scotch-Brite and gave it a bit of a brushed metal finish on the sides of the barrel.

Hard to beat 9mm pricing for resolver action. My first moon-clip gun, got a pack of 10 TK moon clips and they seem to work great with this piece.

I was operating my 2018 JD 3039R cab tractor a few weeks ago, and the 3-point lever went completely "limp", as in I could move it back and forth with zero resistance, and the rockshaft is stuck in the lower position. At first, I thought maybe the control cable broke or became disconnected from the rockshaft assembly or the control level ... but digging in today I can see the cable is 100% intact, and the rockshaft lever and control move in sync as they should when I move the control back and forth.

I'm guessing something either broke or came disconnected inside the rockshaft assembly itself -- it's always been "sloppy" since the tractor was new, e.g. I'd have to move the control 1/4-1/3 o

The first handgun I purchased back in 1990 was a S&W 629-3 .44 Magnum.

Of course, being the young punk I was at the time, I may have been a little bit abusive on spinning the cylinder, etc.

The gun has a slight timing issue where if I cock the hammer very slowly, it will not fully drop the cylinder lock into the groove until I rotate the cylinder forward about 1/64th of an inch. It's pretty consistent 5-6 chambers, and will drop in fine on one or two chambers. If I cock the hammer any more than a snail's pace, or fire double-action, it will lock up 100% every time.

I took it to a "gunsmith" locally for inspection, and he checked it out and said because the cylinder will not

I know this has probably been asked before ... but the search hasn't really helped me to find it.

How can I get rid of the orange "ads" in PRTG's web interface for things like "Please set our password" etc. where I have clearly already changed my admin password. I've looked all through the settings, and I really just want to turn off all tips of all kinds. I've used PRTG Network Monitor for decades - I don't need or want the tips, I see no way to close them, and they're taking up valuable screen real estate.

My very first LED flashlight was my beloved SureFire U2 Digital Ulta, s/n A08xxx, probably about 20 years ago. It still works and looks great, and I absolutely love the manual 6-setting brightness adjustment dial.

What I don't like is the thing gobbles CR123A batteries like they're going out of style...

Are there any good options for rechargeable batteries that will work in this light? I've tried a pair of 16340 (RCR123A) and the light won't power-on with them, probably because the voltage is way too high.

What are your thoughts? My U2 has the narrow tube, and it's a "snug fit" for CR123A/16340 batteries, so there's nothing I can do to take a wider battery.

We have developed a platform to do live object detection that requires a simple pair of glasses with a camera and connectivity to a iPhone that will permit live broadcasting over RTMP. I don't need speakers, I don't need display panels, and I definitely don't want recording for later use. Just a camera, and live broadcasting capability.

Does anybody have a suggestion that might work? The closest thing I've seen are the Ray Ban Meta glasses, but those only work with FB/Instagram, I need something that will broadcast RTMP to independent streaming platforms.

Thanks in advance!

We are currently running an Ubuntu LTS 24.04 instance on AWS EC2 that uses a nVidia T4 GPU for inferencing with python/YOLO. The plan is to migrate this application over to Azure, but I am having a bear of a time getting an affordable instance approved on our Microsoft subscription.

The instance I'm trying to trying to allocate is on US East, type NC4as_T4_V3 or NC8as_T4_V3 -- costs are around $383-$548/month.

When I try to request a quota increase, it twirls for a minute or two, and then gets rejected.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?

I am working on an AI object detection application that requires thermal imaging. After doing some research and consultation with TeleDyne/FLIR they recommended a FC-669, citing the best thermal sensitivity and resolution we were likely to get as a civilian application.

So, I got the camera installed on a tripod, configured with factory default IR settings, and this is the image I get in my kitchen. It's certainly picking up the warmer areas in the scene, the back of the fridge where the compressor is, the panel behind the ice maker/water dispenser on the fridge that has a 10W heating element in it it to keep the water dispenser from thawing, etc. Overall, I am pretty happy with th

Picked up a "new" 940 Pro Turkey from a reputable local gun shop yesterday. Noticed the gun has a Carlson's .660 Turkey choke installed instead of the Mossberg X-Factor XX factory choke. This gun appears to be new-old-stock, packed 05/05/2022 so one of the first 940 Pro Turkey guns made.

Anybody else have one of these that was shipped with a Carlson's choke instead of the Mossberg X-Factor XX Full? I saw some old posts online about people seeing them in shops with Carlson's chokes from the factory, but every recent post has cited the Mossberg choke as being standard equipment. I'm curious if somebody "swapped" mine at some point, but the owner of the shop (owned for 42 years...) s

I've noticed that in the past two months, my Forward Collision Alert will sometimes trigger on one of the 2-lane roads with opposing traffic on what is otherwise a perfectly straight 2-way, 2-lane road. I've narrowed it down that it occurs near a particular driveway, and I'm wondering if maybe they have a motion detector at the end of the driveway to detect vehicles entering the property.

Anybody else had this issue? I've already lowered the sensitivity to "low" -- I'd disable it entirely if it didn't leave a yellow caution light on the dash when doing so.
