TITAM - Technical issues that affected me

Update:  L969 trucks are still available new as of July 2020, but usually only on eBay.  Parts are now generally restricted to Aliexpress; search for the specific part number you're interested in for better results.  Update:  There is a WLtoys L959 parts store here , but it's unclear if it's actually run by WLtoys. The WLToys L969 truggy is my favorite R/C so far.  However, nobody else seems to agree, since nobody talks about it much. The L969 is almost identical to the L959 car, which is wildly popular.  But there are enough differences so that finding compatible parts can be a pill.  So, here is a page for other L969 owners out there. L959 owners:  This page is not for you.  Go here now .   L969 vs. L212 This post covers items specific to the L969, which is the brushed-motor version. Given how WLToys made the L959/L202 cars, it makes sense that a L212 truggy will be a L969 truggy with the brushless parts from an L...

Problem:  As above.  Although the Costco fitment guide states that the Saturn C-Wheels (model CW081495) will fit a 2004-2012 RX330 and related models, they do NOT fit on the rear.  The Costco guide is terrible because it does not list wheel offset nor wheel width, and in this case they do not work.  I realized this going in but somewhat naively figured they knew what they were doing. Width is not much of an issue because most tires will fit a wide range of wheel widths.  For example, the stock 235/55R18s of the RX330 will fit wheels from 6.5" to 8".   As the typical wheel width these days is 7" to 8", with 7.5" being quite popular, this is OK.  (To figure out the range of wheel sizes for your tires, try this handy calculator .) Offset can be a real problem.  Too much offset and the tires will hit stuff on the car.  Still, you do tend to have a fairly wide range to worth with.  So it seemed low risk. Unfortunately, in this case...

Short answer:  You can't. Wish I'd known this before spending half a weekend figuring out how to change client DNS servers by MAC or IP address. If you try to reset your router or PC to the OpenDNS DNS server addresses, it will not work.  DNSleak will still report you using the PIA DNS server(s) associated with PIA, such as 209.222.18.218. The reason is that PIA forces you to use these servers.  From the OpenDNS support system: DNS Servers Keep Changing Away from OpnDNS Automatically 3) 209.222.18.222 and 209.222.18.218: You are currently using a privateinternetaccess VPN service. This service's VPN client automatically sets your DNS servers to 209.222.18.222 and 209.222.18.218 and cannot be changed while you are connected to the VPN. Unfortunately, there is no way around this, and you will be unable to use OpenDNS while connected to this type of VPN client. Solutions: Cease using privateinternetaccess for VPN service and switch providers to one that suppor...

For some reason everyone overcomplicates this. Versions:  - Android 5.0 or 5.1  - Minecraft PE v0.14.1 td/dr version:  Connect both tablets to your PC as storage devices, then copy the following folder from the old tablet to the new tablet:  \games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds Hint:  Minecraft seems sensitive regarding the version of the game.  I suggest that both tablets have the same version of Minecraft installed before you try the transfer.  I don't know if this is required, though.

Contrary to much of the information out there, setting up folder-level permissions on a Synology DiskStation or RackStation is not actually too hard. Apparently previous versions of DSM didn't actually support this, or at least, not very well.  You could only set user access to an entire shared folder (root folder) but not to the subfolders within it.  (Unless, maybe, you knew your command-line interface (CLI) or had Windows Active Directory capabilities.)  But DSM 5.2 seems to support it OK. Note that DSM uses the term "Shared Folder" to refer to the root of the shared volume.  Many people would refer to this as a "root folder" or a "shared volume", but Synology has chosen to call it a "Shared Folder".  (Awesomeness....) You can obviously set up different Shared Folders (root folders) for various purposes, if you want to.  Some people are in a situation where this doesn't work.  Like, maybe, you want to share your files with vario...
