That doesn't fit into the 'faded tradition' basket. Not by a long shot. Or any number of shots, for that matter.

Liquid Nitrogen is such a cool answer to almost any question.

I submit that any question that cannot be answered with "Liquid Nitrogen" be banned.

does anybody know what I need indoor to make my RC car be able to make it run threw a computer and driving it by using a computer. what device will I need to put on my RC car inodor to make it run by programming it with a computer. I would like to drive the RC car from my computer.
does anybody buddy know how to do something like that.

thanks,

What have you tried?

What do you have besides an RC car and a computer? Most likely some microcomputer (PI, Arduino...)

Have you tried Google: Computer Controlled RC Car?

You can either hook to your remote or to your RC car. I would guess that hooking to your remote is easier - it probably only requires rewiring switches that are triggered by buttons on the remote to pins of your board (for example: Raspberry PI) and reusing the rest.

Hooking to your RC car seems way more fun. For hackers. For that you'll need something small, with WiFi. Like a 3$ Wemos D1 Mini. You'll have to add some electronics to correctly connect the servos / signals from the decoder to your chip pins. And you'll need your software.

And then ... you can have a REST service for driving your car. And having hi-speed WiFi connection allows you to hook up a camera and transmit live video back to the computer. If having your own 3D racer experience is not fun enough -- you can do convolution neural net detection and segmentation on your PC and let it drive itself.

Why not go all the way and control your actual car?

I look forward to reading about your progress. Or the accident report.

Browser question

David Crow5-Dec-17 7:45

On my home computer, I use any of three different browsers: Edge, IE, and Chrome. For the first two, browsing is as normal as it gets. I can request a page from either the Run box, or type it into the address bar if the browser is already open. Either way, pages are loaded and rendered as fast as expected. For Chrome, however, it's borderline frustrating. If it's already up and running, requesting a page behaves normally just like the other two browsers. If not, I'm staring at a blank window and it takes 30-40 seconds for Chrome to finish doing whatever it is that it's doing (?) before the page loads and renders. Subsequent page requests are fine, until I close Chrome and request a page later on, even if just a few seconds, then it starts all over.

Things were not always this way. Previously, I had been on DSL Extreme's Standard DSL package, using my own modem and router. All browsers behaved properly at that point. When I switched to their trueSTREAM package, it required using an AT&T-branded (U-verse) Pace router. Once that was up and going, Chrome started misbehaving.

What is it about this scenario that makes Chrome so unique? I've changed DNS servers from those at DSL Extreme to the ones at Google. Neither make a difference. This sort of thing is not in my wheelhouse so tracking down what Chrome is actually doing while I'm waiting is where I just start scratching my head.

Thanks.

Have you tried using a packet sniffer to analyse the problem?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hi,

One of the first things Chrome does at startup is generate a random string and query your DNS server to see if the DNS server pretends to be authoritive for the randomly generated domain name. If the DNS server does give an authoritive response... it generates another random string and performs the test again.

I believe it performs the test three times to check for DNS Hijacking[^]. On a 'positive test' Chrome will perform some additional tests against Google servers.

I don't know if this is causing your problem. You should be able to debug this within a few minutes by inspecting your network traffic.

Best Wishes,

Thanks, David. Is this what you are referring to?

If so, wouldn't I be experiencing the same thing with my work computer that also uses Chrome (exclusively)? Confused | :confused:

There's no lag there.

Yes.

Btw... on some domain-joined Microsoft Windows machines it will also cause additional latency by performing both LLMNR and NBTNS lookups.

No, not necessarily. If the DNS server responds with NXDOMAIN (which is what Chrome expects) then Chrome continues without any further security tests.
