    ADSB tracking (or lack thereof)

    I have done a bit more fiddling and it turns out you can go straight into the history mode for a particular reg. Human readable form (with extra space) followed by real link:- h ttps://globe.adsbexchange.com/?reg=n4310f&showTrace=2023-06-09...

    ADSB tracking (or lack thereof)

    As far as I know there is no "find all the flights of ...". You can however use the History function to step through day by day. First use the reg to find the aircraft (random aircraft chosen) Space inserted to make sure URL is visible to reader, real link follows:- h...

    The Ted Race Team: Because Racecar

    In case anyone else is curious whether "proportioning valve" is new age sales talk for pressure limiting valve, it's not. It's a far superior device. No point in me trying to explain it when Wilwood do it very nicely. https://shop.wilwood.com/blogs/news/how-does-a-proportioning-valve-work

    DuPuis Family Cobra Build

    This might be brutal too;) "nothing you can do about it." Oh yeah! I love my blocker.

    It appears that as you say AND is not case sensitive — because it is IGNORED. Sorry, but I don't think you are testing what you think you are testing. I think I have established in the previous post that logical AND between words is the default (I put it in upper case here only try to make it...

    DuPuis Family Cobra Build

    Must be reading too much Ted, or something — As this headline was scrolling by the words "Family Cobra" popped into my head. Do you think I need a doctor? Or a Cobra?

    What are you guys smoking? Google always has used a default AND operator between search words. It also uses some kind of fuzzy matching that quite effectively gets round misspellings. I am pretty sure google is now a LOT fuzzier that it was. Maybe this creates an impression of OR logic. At...

    Plywood rant.

    On a related topic, I was asked to source some Aluminum tube, the spec given was 75mm OD. Well, guess what, it seems that most of the Al tube made worldwide is in US sizes. Here is a screenshot from UK Ebay. They offer it as 75mm, but when you look further it turns out to be 3" (76.2mm)...

    I have noticed recently that on Google, enclosing words (or phrases) in double quotes now seems to mean MUST include. If a phrase is specified the entire exact phrase is matched. [+Airplane] - doesn't appear to work now as - must include Airplane. ["Airplane" "single engine"]

    Help needed with B-29 APU spark plug.

    Spark plug id numbers look daunting but they are fairly easy to interpret. You can measure the mounting thread diameter and length, the shield thread diameter and pitch, and you can see the Electrode design. Spark plugs have been standardized for DECADES. That leaves the heat range. Hot means...

    Ipad mini charging problem

    One thing to watch out for is that, in the case of most apple equipment, the lightning socket on the device has only got pins on one side. This means that a failure in the cable/plug can result in the cable working one way up and not the other. I have one cable here that I have marked so that it...

    N/A tire pressure in the car

    Here is a nice article that gets right down to what you need to know about how tire pressure varies with temperature (and water vapour in tire too). You pretty much just need to look at the picture (or the zoomed one). To understand the various water cases you will likely need to read that...

    My wife thinks she was hacked. I’m not so sure.

    "doing a mouse-over of the sender's name shows the email address" I do that too but I worry that even that is not safe. I don't know, but I worry:-) I recently skimmed (or even less) something about specially crafted files causing your Windows password (somewhat encrypted) to be sent to a...
