Pads and rotors go for $1500 w/labor at the dealer. Tires are $1k. Oil is $150 x3/yr (7500 miles). Let’s call that $3k/year. An extended warranty to hedge against catastrophic issues goes for 3-5k. So that’s $4k/year over a 5 year period, or one third of the base price at 25k/yr (nobody paid the base price, but that’s…

No, but I’m planning to in the very near future (well, not 100k if I can help it) and I’m aware of the parts and labor cost. That’s why I would choose a reliable model that’s in good condition- it offsets the risk of high-expense repairs. And risk vs reward assessments are only valid if everyone involved shares the…
How so? It sold for $26k. You could pay that much again in repairs and maintenance (extremely unlikely) and you’re still at less than half of what it went for new. And there aren’t many new cars at the same price-to-performance point that I’d rather have.
I’ve done the research, and it does seem to agree with what you’re saying. I’m just hesitant to hinge my entire business model on something that’s questionably legal at best, even if it is relatively low-risk. At the moment I’m forming a “camera services” company with some friends (a film-maker and a sales/finance…
I think that’s the real reason they’re dragging their feet. How do you observe the hundreds of thousands of drones that are sure to be active immediately after the new laws go into place? Any enforcing of the rules would have to be reactive (resulting from a reported crash/injury/etc). That’s why under the current…
Yeah. But at least they’ve proposed the new rules (https://www.faa.gov/uas/nprm/), and they’re pretty reasonable (knowledge based certification exam, low altitude, must maintain line-of-sight, can only operate during daylight hours).
I really wish the FAA would move forward with the new rules for commercial use of drones. I have business contacts in multiple industries that are eager for drone-related services (film, photography, real estate, agriculture, utility, etc), but there’s just no way I’m getting a private pilot’s license so I can apply…
This could be handy for folks who aren’t comfortable with ADB.
Nice. I wonder how well this works with Plex? I’ve been using Plex with my Chromecast, but it’d be nice to have the option to go straight to playing media without shutting down the PS4 and switching devices.
Wow, that’s not too bad. For my next trick, I’ll turn a 2004 WRX into an M3 warranty. ;)
I wasn’t aware of that. I was thinking more along the lines of techniques used to block cell phone signals, which is very easy, but apparently not applicable in this case.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did the maxcare cost for that? I’m currently hunting down an M3 coupe.
When there’s a will, there’s a way... Unfortunately that extends to both the citizens and their government. How hard would it be to declare that frequency range/radio type illegal and actively block the signal in most residential centers?
Images != video, which support 1080p. But I’ll admit I wasn’t aware of the image limitation.
You’re entitled to an opinion, of course, but the N5 has a following (to this day) for a reason. I still prefer my N6 though.
There has only ever been one model.
Cool. Now people who don’t use your product ecosystem of choice can do it too.
As it turns out, if I start casting while everything is turned off, it’ll turn on my TV but not the receiver that it’s connected to, and when I turn on the receiver it’s still on the wrong input. It’s interesting that it can pass the “turn on” signal from one hdmi port to another without actually coming out of standby…
I know, I was a fan of Google Reader too. Still, it’d be nice to see an updated model with 5ghz wireless-n, or wireless-ac. Or whatever comes next, by the time the C2 is developed.
