    Another technological mess on a newer Jetta.

    My base model 2014 Challenger R/T is about as advanced of a vehicle as I want, but I'm sure there's some proprietary software nonsense, but it exists as it left the factory and will never see the dealership again for anything. The Expedition has all the fancy stuff including the ability to...

    Stellantis stock how low will it go?

    I like the look of the new Charger, but yeah it's heavy at 4700+lbs and at $52k for a standard output i6 it's not worth it, I acknowledge the new one is faster but I want a hemi. 700lbs more than my current Challenger!

    Android unregistered 3rd party apps a thing of the past very soon.

    The new iphones are just as ugly, one of my deciding factors on going for the pixel over upgrading from my iphone 13 pro max was apple went to that absolutely gigantic bump.

    Android unregistered 3rd party apps a thing of the past very soon.

    So far I love it. Didn't de Google my life yet, but I did get all the AI crap off it.

    Android unregistered 3rd party apps a thing of the past very soon.

    I just wanted to add to this having installed Graphene the other day.... Granted I used a laptop and windows 11. But it was absolutely painless and far faster than I thought it would be. Backing up my photos took longer than the actual install!

    current state of computer market

    I was under explicit instructions (moreso under threat) to not buy another MacBook 🫣 At least the Lenovo I got is 98% of the way there in terms of build quality.... Apple is still #1 for trackpads, the Lenovo has a physical click but man you gotta PRESS. At least the tracking and feel is...

    current state of computer market

    My brother bought one a couple years ago.... We immediately had to replace the thermal paste as the CPU was thermal throttling out of the box. I replaced it with a thermal grizzly carbonaut "pad" which has been totally fine since, even re used the pad when he upgraded the cooler. They also put...

    current state of computer market

    I just had to buy my wife a new laptop as someone (me) bricked the 2017 MacBook Pro trying to force an update so she could run office 365 for school. I know there are alternatives, but her school gives tutorials for office exclusively and gives her a "free" thing for office. For $999.99+tax I...

    Hardface for mower blades?

    I'm about to make some out of AR500. 1.5 seasons is all I can get before the sand annihilates them.

    Rental car review - 2026 Chevy Trax LT

    Happened recently here, a Cybertruck blew a stop sign and tried crossing a divided highway, t boned a 2017 Altima causing it to spin out and come to a rest in the ditch, killed the occupant on impact... That being said.... The Challenger is a big car, but man does it feel small compared to a...

    How susceptible are you to poison ivy?

    I have to go get steroids whenever I get it or it's hell on earth. I avoid the stuff like a plague.

    Insurance value vs market value question

    Yep. When my truck got totaled they used "comparable vehicles" with over 100k miles, I had 75k. They also had the options all wrong, showing I had vinyl seats, no uconnect, etc like it was a base spec stripped down Tradesman. They initially offered me $21k for it, my friend who's an independent...

    New-ish Maytag washing machine from 2018 is already dead

    I would be livid if my 6 year old washer died and got told "not worth repairing." For a expensive washer that is basically new.... Or maybe I'm in the wrong expecting 15-20 years out of it. Just had a minor issue with our top loading speed queen.... It was leaking a tiny bit of water. Turns out...

    Handicapped or entitled? Not returning shopping cart

    It works oddly well even at 25c. Or someone in the lot will see you with an empty cart and swap you a quarter for your cart. Never seen a stray at any of our aldi's.
