    The Aerospace Industry Discussion Thread

    I had seen that one. But apparently there's some controversy around it not yet having an ASTM spec or something, although it does have an STC? Disclaimer: I am not a general aviation pilot. I am an aviation geek, but yeah. My knowledge of high octane fuels as said comes from the automotive...

    A Perpetual Picture Of Your Car Thread

    CVT in the current Civic-based HR-V is..... fine? It's not great but it's nothing exciting to drive. Pretty purely an appliance.

    Soundbar recommendations

    Wirecutter has some solid recommendations in my experience: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-soundbar/ As does Rtings: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/best/soundbar Vizio Elevate that Rtings likes is right at your price target?

    https://aviationweek.com/business-aviation/aircraft-propulsion/avgas-developer-drop-fuel-100ll-not-possible? Not that we discuss this much in this thread (and honestly could fit a few other threads), but still seems relevant to this thread. Efforts to replace one of the most common fuels for...

    Pinnacle K60 Question

    Guessing the in-wall cutout dimensions/volume should be a good start? (Didn’t realize they were in-wall speakers!).

    A Perpetual Picture Of Your Car Thread

    Current RS6 Avant is: Length: 196.7 in Width: 76.8 in So about 1" longer than a current Honda Accord and a decent bit wider, about 2.5" shorter than a current BMW 5-series but still wider. (all per Car and Driver)

    A Perpetual Picture Of Your Car Thread

    Concept looks way sleeker to me but actual car not bad. However I have seen the RS6 Avant in person and it's actually a good bit smaller inside than expected. So would probably be a pass on me in reality-- although I could be open to it on further examination. (aka: trying not to be swayed too...

    SSD Fetish

    https://www.techpowerup.com/review/kioxia-exceria-plus-g3-2-tb/ Lexar NM790 looks like a measurable lead. The Micron 2650 is too new to be on that chart/review/roundup so maybe check back later for it?

    pk.fail vulnerability

    In aggregate it's actually quite a bit. Validation is not trivial to test all the cases, and most system makers have a metric butt-ton of ones to do. Look at this list from Lenovo alone that was previously posted... https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/LEN-158632

    https://www.anandtech.com/show/21492/micron-ships-denser-9th-generation-nand-276layers-and-2650-client-ssds Micron 276 layer TLC NAND now shipping. Micron 2650 SSD not too interesting as it's PCI-e 4.0, will have to wait to see what uses it next.

    Monitor Issues with thunderbolt dock

    TB add-in card compatibility appears to be best described as a nightmare, so... yeah. Good luck? You might be better off with a monitor or a video card with more appropriate match of monitor inputs and video card outputs than what you have now, given that TB stuff is not cheap.

    Monitor Issues with thunderbolt dock

    Oh. Hmm. Yes, that is possible. But: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-TITAN-RIDGE-rev-20#kf You're just passing through a DP signal in alt-mode. It's not going to convert the HDMI to DP, or am I missing something here? You're basically spending $$$ to get the exact same result.

    smallish gaming laptop

    Yah, this is where both reviews (especially Notebookcheck, since they're so consistent, through, and well-regarded) plus first-hand experience if you can get it are both valuable. We have probably a dozen plus Thinkpad E14/E15/E16 AMD models from every generation since 2020 or so and all, at...
