    GoPro to be acquired for $285M, will remain a public company

    I did hear the 13 black overheated too....Not sure about why. Once I had used the 12 black and verified it's stability I bought like 6 of em for my ski crew. The 12's are very nice cameras, not one of us had a problem. We are still using them. - I did some 8k60 recording today, just about to...

    GoPro to be acquired for $285M, will remain a public company

    We will soon find out. The overheating issues were in the Hero 10 and 11 models ( I owned both ) They fixed the overheating issue in the 12 black, primarily by removing the GPS.

    GoPro to be acquired for $285M, will remain a public company

    I have used GoPro's since they came out, they are a long way from dead. I ,for one, am glad they did not get into the drone crap and just do cameras. The new camera is the Mission 1 Pro. Just bought one . ------ Very impressive little camera ! Bigger than the standard GoPro; shown next to my...

    Dell UltraSharp U3225 QE monitors

    Ooo baby. Being as I accidentally dropped my ceiling on my Samsung 4k monitors last year, (Main rig) , I decided to upgrade. (They still work just fine but [H].) I don't game anymore, more video editing, and I'm the king of burn in so oLED is out. (q3 occasionally, but that plays on a phone...

    Capacitor plague, ahhh the gift that keeps on giving.

    Yes, I see the same thing ! I'm finding midrange components are almost better, because the beancounters have not gotten ahold of manufacturing yet. Heh.

    Capacitor plague, ahhh the gift that keeps on giving.

    Minor update. I have some engineering help from head office, and we are now involving the distributor, as well as the manufacturer. Not because they want to help me fucking destroy ltec :mad: but because we do not want a reoccurrence. We had a big meeting about this. We have agreed that I...

    Capacitor plague, ahhh the gift that keeps on giving.

    It's all good sir ! I have spares on hand. I may attempt a repair on one, but it's a terrible job. The entire circuit board is covered in about 1/16" of conformal coating. I used a grinder to expose the traces on the first one when I desoldered it, LOL. I am currently in contact with the...

    Capacitor plague, ahhh the gift that keeps on giving.

    There is a thread here somewhere about this, could not find. S'ok. Remember back in the good ole days of 2000-2007 when electrolytic capacitors on motherboards and GPU's and PSU's, monitors, TeeVee's, etc,etc ....would just up and fucking die because they would swell up and explode ? The...

    Very much this. ---- You have to understand the initial thought patterns behind the very first reactors. At first it was pure science, "self-sustaining reactions " was the goal.
