I checked and your highlander hybrid is expected to have almost $8,000.00 of repairs over the first 10 years. $100 a year is effectively impossible unless someone is giving you the parts+labor for free.

then comgrats on having a miracle car. if you look at edmunds, caredge, or consumer reports you can see expected repair costs over 5-10 years. EVs are way cheaper to maintain by comparison.

The high price for EV repairs comes not from the parts but from the labor. Most dealerships outside of California are lucky to have more than one certified EV technician or any at all and that certified technician is needed for the insurer to prove that the vehicle is fully repaired. For example right now if you wreck…

I’m sorry but you are off your rocker or not taking into account the big maintenance pieces on an ICE vehicle. worn out transmissions and engine maintenance are expected on most vehicles after 150,000 miles. EVs on the other hand really don’t have any major failure points until the battery wears out which by most…

So this is a fun one because there is a grain of truth to it. drinking hot drinks causes your core body temp to increase and because it is typically hotter than the outside temperature by 40-60 degrees at least it makes the outside temp feel cooler. So while it doesn’t actually cool you down it does make you feel…

The problem with using AI for this is they are trying to replace something they are already replacing. I don’t even remember the last time I actually ordered at a drive thru. instead I just told them I had a mobile order and off I went. mobile ordering is the real solution, customers can do it long in advance and get…

Hopefully we see RT sold off at some point. I would love for a Smosh style return to form where the creatives buy back the company.

The problem is that emulators are not illegal even if circumvention is required to facilitate their use. Sony v. BLEEM proved that legally emulators even of current consoles are fair game. The grey area stems from circumvention of DRM which is legally fine if that is the only way to allow legally backed up copies of…

Star Wars Chess had 14.

I tried anthem years after it came out and I really enjoyed it...I also played it effectively single player and got every armor modification to maximize high speed flight time which made it way more fun to play. The biggest issue with the game was that they ignored their biggest strength. The flight was fantastic when…

right but it still requires sony to give them money AND get their blessing. FromSoftware has a reputation to keep up and a low effort port is likely not something they want. they want something like the demon souls remake where it had value in spades or have it be a free update to bloodborne that everyone gets because…

it’s not that simple. while sony has license to the IP they may not own the full rights to all assets used in perpetuity. FromSoftware may own rights to the code and assets developed for the title.

and to rerelease morbius because of the memes.

Considering Sony's track record...yeah they are nuts.

it is the same kind of people who watch tv or movies and never complain about it being 30-24 fps. hell spiderverse cracks out the 12s on purpose and these chucklefucks don’t even notice.

My guess is that nobody noticed the bug until they did the porting process and were checking for performance issues. No one on earth would have noticed or cared if the game was running at 60. hell they could have capped it at 30 and called it an artistic choice and most people would have just shrugged. for something…

can't wait for the next update to remove a healer in favor of 4 v 4. clearly what they want is to replicate LoL and get to that 3 v 3 spot.

“Streaming practically killed the music industry”

makes me wonder if it has to do with how the music works with the graphics. while it doesn’t appear too hardware heavy at first having everything always synced to the music might be more taxing on the back end than it appears.

I appreciate the info, makes sense.
