My Subaru had it, and it worked very well there. My current Caddy ATS... not so much - I have to raise and lower it because it’s not accurate at all. Heck, sometimes, it wants to put out heat, but then something is not working so it blows cold... so I have to turn it all the way up, and all the way down, and then it…

Yeah, yeah... $9k... you know what I meant :P

Well, yes and no. I had already invested $3k in the motor, so I thought I can’t just “lose” that money up front, so I decided to risk a bit further. Needless to say, it didn’t pan out... but I couldn’t see a better choice for a “new” motor, you know?

I’m with you. I had a Daytona... 2 actually. First one blew the motor because of a poorly designed cooling system (thermostat failed closed). Rebuilt the motor, then after about a month the front control arm or something bit it, sending me into a curb which bent the frame. So, I got an 86 to put the motor into.

A bunch of us ex-Turbo users went to the LG V30 (“we” meaning those of us on XDA). The V30 does all you describe (3300mAh battery, but a more power efficient CPU so it still lasts longer). My wife and I are happy with ours, which are still doing well. Plus they’re rootable and can also be shifted between variants and…

I don’t know. I mean it’s not like he stole something from a convenience store.

Agreed. I make it a habit to carry both keys, just in case. I mean, in reality, I would want to trade in the car and hence have both keys... but I will only give them one, of course... the second stays with me, just in case. Fortunately, never had any of these issues happen...

And in some states, it’s even more confusing, eg CT. Technically, it’s a 2-party state, but per https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-2nd-circuit/1534978.html you CAN record because, “to bring a claim under the Wiretap Act, the offender must intercept with tortious intent that relates to a tort independent from the act of…

I’ll take that one further - traction control on a FWD car. Particularly a system that can’t be turned off (I’m looking at you, wife’s VW Jetta).

Agreed. Same to those who blast across 3 lanes of traffic because they “HAVE” to take the exit. I love your saying, paraphrased: Act “like an adult and go around the block”.

With you completely! I’ll extend it further and say that I try to drive so that others don’t have to do things to avoid me. In other words, if I see a car coming up behind me fast in the left lane, I’ll accelerate and get out of the way sooner. Similarly, if someone is going to have to change lanes, I try to make sure…

That’s fine, so then the idiot who can’t look up what the error code means can ignore it, and just say that they got an error. Then a reasonable person can come, look at the error, and look up the info. Easy enough. Point is, say “Error code: 31464" and that’s fine... now someone can look it up.

Sorry to hear that. I have multiple computers of my own, operate a side business for computer services, and help out with my company’s IT support. In none of these cases have I had to run sfc to fix anything on a machine recently (not since XP days). I do agree that the patches have been hit/miss, which is why I don’t…

Great that’s a good reference. But I have to ask, was the Win7 machine on NTFS? If it wasn’t, then it makes sense that it didn’t care, as this is an NTFS specific issue, it seems.

If it happens on WinXP, what makes you think it won’t happen on 7? The bug appears to be an NTFS bug, not necessarily Windows version specific... so 7 could be as vulnerable as well.

Price? Model? Link?

Proof that most people don’t need a pickup truck (or maybe even an SUV) for anything they’re doing day-to-day. Sure, you may like to have one once-in-a-while, but you can rent a pickup truck pretty easily if it’s that big of a deal.

Actually, 3D printing can be used for mass production. Some of the newer industrial machines are being used for exactly that. As I mentioned in my other post, Ford (for example) is starting to do this with Desktop Metal machines. Porsche is also working on a 3D printed transmission casing for future production. I…

Yes, there are MANY companies out there doing metal-based additive manufacturing. Here’s a short list of companies I have worked with:

That’s why I run adblocking. I have tried whitelising sites like this in the past, but when they get stupidly obnoxious, the block goes right back in. If the ads were SILENT, NON-AUTOPLAYING VIDEO, WITHOUT POPUPS, and didn’t bring computers to a screeching halt, I would leave the block off... but if sites can’t learn…
