I have to keep refilling coolant. looking for advice.

I have to keep refilling coolant. looking for advice.

Bought this car second hand at the beginning of last year, Toyota corolla 2007. I paid 5k

I've been refilling the coolant like once a month for the past six months, I haven't noticed any big leak so I think the coolant is ending up inside the engine, maybe mixed with the oil? I have no idea.

Just wondering about what should I do.

I think it would be very expensive to the take it to the mechanic, as they probably have to take down the engine, not sure how much I could sell it for either, I don't want to sell it unless the person knows about that problem.

just looking for some advice. I don't have any experience with cars, this is my first one and seems like it was a mistake.

thanks.

Postmarket os on a Google pixel 3a

I've decided to try postmarket os. at the beginning I was a bit confused with the installation and decided to ask chat GPT.

Surprisingly it actually made everything super simple and very soon it was ready.

I love the idea of having Linux on a phone, unfortunately it's not ready to be used, I can't imagine anyone using this as their main phone.

I haven't used it much as I installed it today but the biggest problems I've found so far:

WiFi keeps disconnecting for some reason and sometimes it's just not possible to connect it back even after rebooting, for some reason it seems to work better if I just share WiFi from my main phone.

The back camera is unusable as the photos are extremely blurry. and the front camera has a weird green filter.

you can install Linux apps, I tried ankidroid and FreeCad. they seems to work fine, only problem I see, after opening the app is hard to get out of it, as the gesture swiping up seems to work only sometimes when inside of those apps.

Overall I like how it looks and I will keep an eye on it. The idea of a Linux phone sounds really exciting.

New on freecad. best approach for cabinets.

Hey guys, I've been learning freecad recently just for fun. This is what I do for work and I'd like to be able to design them on freecad.

some of them are a bit complex with underpanels, shark nose, miter joint etc.

I was doing it in part design but then everything gets into one solid and I struggled a bit when I decided to create another body for a different panel.

I also thought I could create the panels and then put everything together in the assembly workbench but it gets very overwhelming for a big job.

Maybe use the cabinets workbench and then change to part design for the curves, shark nose, etc. (Not even sure if I can switch between workbenches that easy).

Regardless, as I said I'm new on this, I know there's a lot to learn, I just wanna know from you guys with more experience, how would you design something like that so I can focus in that particular path.

thank you very much.

Is FreeCad and Blender similar?

Just wondering about the difference of these two and how can they complement each other.

Can I render something from freecad on blender if so, which format does it need to be?

and can Blender do the same as freecad? for example to build a kitchen.

thanks.

FreeCad viewer android.

Is there any app that will let me see freecad designs?. I'm not talking about a pdf but a 3D that I can move around.

thanks.

Milwaukee from Temu / Aliexpress. Anyone?

I saw an app saying Temu has original Milwaukee tools at a cheaper price.

I had a look on aliexpress and there's a bit of everything. Regardless of being just an imitation product wondering if any of you have actually bought anything and how was it? I'm curious about the laser and maybe a battery but not sure if a fake battery could damage the tool or if a 100 dollars Milwaukee laser ended up being a waste of money. Has any of you get anything? and how did go?..

How to fix fields for a deck?

My deck for learning English vocabulary is using the fields I use for learning Japanese.

I wanted to change the name and remove some of them like "Hiragana" but it seems like it would remove that field even for the Japanese deck.

is there a way to fix it?

Closest place to see snow accessible by car?

I've seen other areas of NSW receive a fair amount of snow and they aren't that far from Sydney.

Any suggestion of a place I could go end of May or June?

Edit: Sorry accesible by train.
