I’m a Halo hoarder collector, and I think I only have 4 of those ugly Pop vinyls. They’re all Halo ones but they don’t have the dark soulless beady little eyes the rest of them do. Two of them were gifts anyway so I didn’t give them much money.

They’re ugly and tacky to me.

Haven’t had the time to tear the dash apart. It’s located below the infotainment screen. It’s not transmitting so no need for immediate action.

Pretty simple, there’s a fuse in the fuse box under the dash labeled DCM, just remove it. It’s extremely simple and takes 3 minutes. The DCM has an 18650 backup battery so it’ll stay powered for a short time but should die in a day or two and stop transmitting.

First thing I did when buying my '21 Toyota was remove the fuse giving power to the cellular modem. Is it still recording my data? Of course, but that’s only a worry if I go to their dealership for service. If I ever need to actually do that (recalls for example) I’ll remove the DCM module from the vehicle before bringing it in. There’s a very good local shop near me that I’ll bring it to for normal maintenance before letting Toyota plug in to the car and download my data.

Some vehicles this may not be possible, so if this concerns you, check forums about your vehicle if it is a moving spy machine before trying this because you might end up causing the vehicle to be put in limp mode because of some BS design choices.

I learned that from this video years ago

Mines nothing special, i5 10400 with 16GB of RAM and a 1050ti for video encoding. System runs TrueNAS Scale for Plex and Immich and has 44TB of drives running through a Dell H310 PERC SAS card. I desperately need more storage but I’ve been lacking the funds for new drives, I’d also need a 5.25" drive bay converter to hold the 2 additional drives I need in this case since all the bays are full, and another SAS card since this one’s used up.

I’d like to move to Jellyfin but from what I’ve read it doesn’t do as well for streaming from outside the network compared to Plex and half the users of my server are outside my network. So it works for now.

Also have a Raspberry Pi 5 running PiHole

Also a buddy 3D printed a fan mount for the H310 to make sure it doesnt overheat when doing file transfers and I slapped a Noctua on it

The Box ^TM just came in handy for me to find a VGA cable to change a BIOS setting on an old PC to output through PCI on boot. Had to reset the BIOS after installing a new CPU and it reverted that setting.

The Box ^TM will stay with me until death.

(Most of these old cables are organized, I haven’t gotten to this box yet)

It’s a Fight Club reference, Tyler Durden makes soap in the beginning of the story.

How’s your insomnia, Mr Durden?

I’m not a forensics expert how should I know? It’s dirty from something but I know it’s not from the driver sticking it up their ass, I’m 87% sure of that. I just happened to know what the controls were for lol

No that’s a Honda LaneSense passenger side camera toggle, shows what’s beside/behind you from the side mirrors perspective. My mom’s HRV has it. It also activates when you turn on the right turn signal. My guess it it’s from turning the headlights on and off with dirty hands, you can see it’s set to OFF now. Don’t know why people don’t just use the auto headlight feature.

Gut the PT Cruiser and swap in a Prius drivetrain, full body swap it. Hell yeah brother

Removed, obviously. Gotta put that new STARbucks somewhere
