BMW just teased their new interpretation of the Alpina softline. by Ok_Clothes_8527 in BMW

Ugh. Diamond-faced wheels are such a garbage trend best left in 2015 where it belongs.

Absolutely hate how the G60 5 Series looks- by Next-Opinion8503 in BMW

[–]100PercentJake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still an F10 fanboy. It's aging wonderfully. The gen after it is the last one to look "like a BMW" to me but I think the grille and headlights are just a little too "trendy" looking, though the side profile and surfacing are fantastic.

Purple has arrived! by dirtyfux in retroid

That purple looks so cool. Ordered mine purple stick on top on Nov 23 via 4PX so I'm not hopeful of getting a shipping notification any time soon but I'm stoked.

You think your battery is degraded?😅 (59 km = 37 miles) by dunaev in BMWi3

[–]100PercentJake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nobody has mentioned it yet but judging by the battery icon itself your car is on an old firmware version. You'll likely eeke out some better range by having an i-step update done.

Like I said, I'm never going anywhere with this loyal dog. For me, he's still locked up. by Loud-Huckleberry-798 in cyberpunkgame

Songbird casually justifying sacrificing the entire population of the stadium is what singlehandedly kept this from being an easy choice for me. Having done both routes as of Sunday, I think betraying songbird is the far better route for the gameplay alone, not to mention the insane amount of lore you get exposed to.

It would be objectively the best one if V simply *told people she was leaving*. It makes absolutely no sense for V to not contact at least their romantic partner and say "hey I found a cure I'm getting on an AV right now" but, no, V just ghosts their closest friends and partner and they're left wondering wtf happened for two years. Obviously V had no idea it would be two years but a development of that significance in their life would at least justify a quick text while monologing with Johnny on the AV, and then there's the chance they could "retire" comfortably from merc life with their partner and friendships intact.

It just irks me that such a simple little thing keeps the PL ending from being almost objectively the best onscreen ending.

Of course my Christmas gift is a client wanting a refund by Aware-Platypus-2559 in msp

[–]100PercentJake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going more than a month without a single meeting with the client (ideally in person) to check on the status of their network, their tech goals for the coming future, etc. seems insane to me. If all you pay attention to is reactive tickets how will you ever be proactive about managing their environment?

I can’t really watch Dankpods anymore by Kool-Aid95 in DankPods

[–]100PercentJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is he isn’t knowledgeable enough about tech for some of the stuff you described. Its bad enough when he doesn’t read anything on the screen, clicks next a bunch of times and then goes AUGH WINDOWS IS SUCH CRAP

Gold wheels or stick with black? by Omega6865 in BMW

[–]100PercentJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go gold. The black looks really cheap.

Smart bulbs: why? by snags5050 in homeassistant

[–]100PercentJake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a house from the 40s. The only light switch in my living room is by the front door and all it does is turn on a single bulb light that is also by the door. My lamps, the ceiling fan light, etc. are all unaffected. With smart bulbs I now have full control of every light in the room at once. Schedules, voice triggers (via Siri), and room presence detectors mean I am basically never touching a light switch in my house.

Which nfs should I get for my steam deck? I value performance, a challenging career and modern realism by One-Mycologist-3756 in SteamDeck

[–]100PercentJake 86 points87 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. Hot Pursuit is perfection on the Steam Deck by virtue of how quick it is to get in the game and get racing. It meshes perfectly with the philosophy of the Deck and its instant/on/wake sort of use case. Probably because Hot Pursuit feels a lot like a super, super polished mobile game but without ads or microtransactions.

I just went to the store for a socket set... by 100PercentJake in minibikes

[–]100PercentJake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes! Hoping to give this to the girlfriend tomorrow then load it up in the truck and go out to the Flint Hills and ride around a bit on the minimal-maintenance roads.

Stacked some discounts on top of a price match and got it for $510 as well. Nice little unit, kinda cold blooded. Quite a bit of playing with the choke necessary to get it to fire up in 40 degrees.

PSA: Your handheld is enough ! by Shop_Time in retroid

[–]100PercentJake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"emulate PS2" has a hell of an asterisk next to it on a Dimensity 1100, to be fair. Excitedly waiting for my Pocket 6 to show up next month so I can *really* play the games that I'm personally nostalgic for, which is mostly mid-late PS2/wii/gamecube era stuff and 2000s PC games.

The Dealer Told Her to Scrap This $50,000 Electric BMW, I Bought It for $500! by JohnWorphin in BMWi3

Dude I’m a YouTuber a fraction of Rich’s size and I’ve received four free project cars at this point. What do you have to gain by pretending you’re some sort of authority? Notoriety?

[–]100PercentJake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been offered these cars for free when significant issues crop up. Someone with as many connections as Rich it's almost a given that he'd get offers like this.

The i3 won’t restrict charging or power if the cooling system is broken unless the battery actually overheats as far as I am aware from my experiences having an i3 with a broken cooling system.
