This really applies to well...all current cars. The infotainment systems control so much of the car that you can’t feasibly replace them.

Nintendo is generally pretty painless. They don’t guarantee your data of course (this is pretty standard, as depending on the failure it may not be recoverable) but it’s pretty painless overall. Call them up, troubleshoot the issue, then send it in for repair if necessary. Usually takes a week or two and they’ll get…

The slot loading slim drives are kinda pricey, but not $200 pricey. That’s Sony for you unfortunately.

Yeah, $100 or so is what Nintendo charges. At least they’re generally fairly nice throughout the whole process. They have some of the nicest support reps I’ve dealt with.

That’s the right attitude to have IMO. As long as you’re happy with the way your system is performing, don’t stress over it. This is actually the first CPU I’ve bothered to OC, and simply because I wanted to. I also upgraded an 8 year old system, so it’s an utterly massive performance boost (though I miss my PCI-E…

Eh, even overclocking the CPU isn’t nearly as much tinkering as it used to be. With the unlocked Intel CPU’s, you basically just bump the the multiplier up until it crashes, then step it back until you’re stable, and maybe step up the voltage a bit. Took me about an hour on my current PC + letting it run a stress test…

Actually looks like laws have changed a bit, only 4 infractions now. Still, it’s interesting that running a red and killing someone is only 6 here, but Reckless driving is 8 (Think they combined drag racing into one of the other categories). Looks like they lowered the threshold to 8 points. I never hit that high. (I…

Because it usually won’t hold up in court. If you fight it, you can probably get it tossed as it falls around margin of error. It’s probably why he only got a warning and not a ticket.

20 over, or more than 85MPH anywhere not a track, is “felony” speeding (it’s really a misdemeanor, but other things can push it to a felony). Understand that our speed limits our here are generally fairly high. 65 on the freeway, 75 on most major highways. 40-45 around town. To be pulled over for 20 over you have to…

The tax credit that is soon to go away? Yup, great idea. TBH, I’m all for electric vehicles, but we need to make a jump in battery tech before they’re feasible. Too much reliance on rare-earth elements isn’t currently sustainable. Good news is there’s currently lots of interesting battery stuff in the testing phases…

I like trucks, but I’d never want to DD one. I’d rather have something fun and sporty instead of big and lumbering.

Several of the characters are already in the game, so it feels a bit greedy.

I’ll give you FE:W, but that’s par for the course there. The rest though has felt pretty good overall. 4 characters for $3.75 each doesn’t seem bad to me. Kirby update was free unless I’m reading wrong.

No, never heard of a chording keyboard. Interesting though. My thought was actually like...a cellphone keyboard (think older slider phones/Blackberrys).

Lol, probably =D

No, having driven my (now ex) wife’s 2016 Miata, the shift points come up pretty quick. 6th gear comes pretty quick, but it’s still pretty quick in 6th.

Unless there was injury or some other trauma, he doesn’t have much of a case. Also, depends on the state laws.

No hybrid system, but they do make it with a Hemi if you get the 300C.

Eh, keyboarding is a stretch. A lot of people use their phones, but for anything long and thought out, the phone interface is a massive PITA. I suppose I could see like...a thumb KB, but not really practical. Also the fact that a KB and mouse is used as the primary control scheme for almost all computers. Now, PROPER…

Hah, I remember healers ragging the crap out of people for that. We usually kicked those people.
