      And your thread shitting.
      Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

        not that its relevent to this thread did you notice fedora is the developemental branch of red hat?
        expect rapid turnover.
        back on topic standalone gps is about to go the way of the dodo.of course they wont support older units to hopefully get you to buy a new one.and they wonder why the map updates are getting cracked and torrented!
        looks like your choices are to dump it and use a smartphone and google maps or don the eyepatch and parrot.

          Hopefully I can get this thread back on topic. You two are BOTH acting like children - you know who you are...

          I have never used a garmin gps before. But we have a magellan gps, which is a just like a joke. It crashes a lot, the battery life is like 30 minutes...
          Even when we have it set to quickest route, it will take us many friggin miles out of the way ... talk about the "quickest" route! I think it's quickest route is out the window ... LOL
          We don't use it all that often, so we get plenty of time to cool off from any annoyances...

          I however think that the planned obsolescence by garmin is friggin stupid. I mean, come on?!

            Garmin Dashcam 20
            by Adubey
            Hi All, I have a Garmin Dashcam 20. It allows functions to work only if SD card is inserted but it freezes upon inserting a working SD card. So far I have cleaned the SD card socket with alcohol and all of the connections looks good. I also tried using a brand new class 10 SD card as its manual requires but still its not working. Garmin Express is also not able to detect the device.

            I am able to get into menus using a bad SD card.

            Let me know if anyone has ideas on what to do.

            Garmin TT15 gps dog collar
            by ducati82
            Hi everyone.
            I have a Garmin TT15 mini GPS collar with radio power problems. The handheld detects it up to a distance of about 50 meters and then loses it until it gets closer again.
            I tried replacing the RF amplifier but the problem remained.
            What could I check? I don't know much about RF.
            If you need other information, just ask.

            Thanks in advance...

            Macbook Core i7 2010 a1286 820 - 2850A CRAZY JUMPING voltages
            by marce002
            Hello

            Need just to know how do you guys determine what the problem is, when we have some fluctuating volt, to discard a faulty TPS 51125 , or if the issue is after this IC.

            CRAZY JUMPING

            PP3V3_S5 = 0v to 3.33 v jumping
            PPBUS_G3H = 12.4v to 12.48 jumping a little
            PP5V_S5 = 2v to 5v aprox, jumping fast
            P3V3S5_ENTRIP = crazy jumping from low volt
            SMC_PM_G2_EN = jumping 0v to 3.3v crazy


            STEADY


            P3V42_G3H=3.39V steady
            PP5V1_CHGR_VDD=5.06v steady
            PPCHGR_DCIN= 18.29 to 18.31 jumping

            my Xiaomi Notebook Pro X laptop fans work like crazy for no reason
            by sda sad
            Hope this is the right place, someone can help me.
            My laptop started having a really strange problem....
            When I turn it on the fans start working at a crazy rate and with random breaks...
            They can work for say 10 seconds and stop for 2 seconds and then turn on again for 5 etc...
            And it's from 0 to 100%. I tried to install AIDA and did the processor chip test and the graphics did not exceed 70 degrees and the fans were not even close to working at the power they work randomly.

            The model of the computer:
            Xiaomi Notebook Pro X 15 OLED (A30)

            Lenovo Tab 2 Pro display "going crazy"
            by paparazzo79
            Hi guys
            I got myself Lenovo TAB 2 Pro at Friday.
            I did used it whole Friday just to test it and it was working normally.
            I installed few apps and charged it via regular USB 3.0 port on my laptop.
            After that I noticed that tablet behaves like it has a virus.
            Suddenly it just registers touch input, byitself starts to exit from tabs,volumes up or down,freezes,when press home key does not register etc etc..
            I remember I did cleaned it yesterday with isopropyl but I put the alchocol on dry cloth and cleaned the screen and metal housing...
            really few...
