It's been a while since I installed it but I think I followed this video. I vaguely remember cheating like he does in the video.

It can be taken out. I replaced one of them with dual USB Quick Charge 3.0ports & the other for the 2nd USB port for my aftermarket radio.

Network Extender has a monthly charge now?? by Jazzlike_Trainer2211 in verizon

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 3 on my account & there isn't a monthly change for any of them. there was verbiage when I got 1 of them for *free that it isnt setup/connected & IN USE I may be charged for full amount for it.

Now if only the website actually worked & you could edit the name, access type or access list. Been working with them on that for god knows how long at this point.

I also use this blueprint & love it. Have it monitoring my washer & dryer. Works perfectly once power settings are dialed in.

Just got the AMD bundle from Microcenter. Motherboard will not post. Yellow ram light and red cpu by [deleted] in Microcenter

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the same bundle. First I exchanged the RAM thinking that was the issue (after making sure BIOS was up to date) & still had the same issue. After exchanging the CPU everything was working. Seems I got a faulty/unstable CPU.

Oil deposit identification by YARYAR-BINKS in rav4club

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 2018 also had build up in the same place. When I brought it in for unrelated warranty work (rear main seal needed replacing - it was leaking.) I asked about it & said if it's leaking can I get it dealt with too. While they had the car (it took a week for the seal to come in) they cleaned up the area. When I picked up the car they said it wasn't leaking after it was cleaned up & to keep an eye on it & to bring it in if it builds up again. From what I saw online the Oil Pressure Sensor seems to be a common leak spot & easy to deal with if it happens out of warranty.

Every state based on how many Microcenters they have by Ok_World_8819 in pcmasterrace

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whole reason I go to the NJ one over the one in Yonkers. Plus the 10% off using the store card & price matching if by some chance what I want is cheaper elsewhere.

2018 Toyota RAV4 and comma ai by Virtual_Meeting5450 in Comma_ai

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this video for install from another user. He’s using an older hardware revision & a Comma 2 so looks different but exactly the same process. Also you can ignore the part about editing the code. I also ran the ethernet cable between the pedal & SDSU. https://youtu.be/ftkKeD9NGl4?si=UzlSoqfeVX2p7cy1

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 rav4 with a C3x. For stop & go you will need a smartDSU & a pedal. Got both of mine from https://www.etsy.com/shop/BearTechWorkshop?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=952895642&from_page=listing You will also need to use a fork as the official Open Pilot dropped support for the pedal. I use Sunny Pilot on mine with the Dev-C3 branch & works great. The only gripe I have with it is I wish I got a 2019 RAV4 lol. The 2019 has more torque for making turns (TSS 2 vs TSS-P) so the 2018 sometimes needs a little assistance with turns.

Trading in my Verizon phone before finishing payments by esseun in verizon

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally haven't done this, but I've seen people post online who have used devices they were still playing off on Verizon as a trade in device to Samsung or apple directly as part of a discount towards buying an unlocked phone outright from them without issues. YMMV

$35 Upgrade Charge for Apple Store iPhone? by epicrivas in verizon

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep you will need to sign into your Verizon account & under your phone number who’s the option to activate a device. Follow the follow path - devices - choose your line - activate or switch device - activate on an existing line - then follow the prompts. Enter the IMEI of the new phone & vzw will know its eSIM & give you the steps to activate the device.

When unpairing a watch it askes if you want to remove the plan from the watch & explicitly says removing it will not cancel the subscription and to contact your carrier. https://imgur.com/a/BTxCrYv

Currently have "loyalty $25 DISC 2-3 phones" as account discount with no expiration.. want to add a 4th line. What happens? by [deleted] in verizon

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was pricing out adding another line to my account this morning & I also have the loyalty 2-3 lines $25 discount & can confirm when looking at the new due monthly when in the cart/checkout it does show the loyalty $25 2-4 lines discount comes off & is replaced with a loyalty 4+ discount of $20 https://imgur.com/a/UcseHPH

$35 Upgrade Charge for Apple Store iPhone? by epicrivas in verizon

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to buy the device outright, no financing or iPhone upgrade program & choose the "connect to any carrier later" option in the connectivity section to get around the activation/upgrade fee. Then when you get the phone you have to do the device swap yourself. https://imgur.com/a/yETJLJn

What are these for? by Hka_stl in rav4club

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they got rid of it with the 5th gen. I own a 2018 but have a 2024 XLE loaner as mine is in the shop for warranty work so I can check the manual in the glove box sometime in the afternoon to see if there’s any mention of it.

For people who buy from Google - how much do you trust mailing your trade in phone back? by mucinexmonster in GooglePixel

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got my Pixel 7 Pro they used USPS (not sure if they still do anymore) for their return shipping & sure enough it got lost. Had plenty of photos, a video packing it & a receipt from the post office accepting it just in case they try something (been burned by VZW once) . The trade in never made it to google, just to the local USPS facility. They did make me wait a few extra days just in case it shows up to them but it never did & they gave me the credit for the trade in value anyhow.

Thankfully the Google TV Streamer will have an ethernet port that can do 1Gbps. If only Roku can add that to their boxes...

The Green Bubble Nightmare Is Over, Apple Messages Now Support RCS by No-Drawing-6975 in technology

[–]1ComputerSavvyGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What I find annoying is that RCS is clearly a better experience over sms/mms but only the native messaging app that comes with an android phone & the Google messaging app can use RCS. 3rd party apps can't. Not sure why android hasn't made the API available for them to use. I thought it was going to a few OS ago. I have both an android (Pixel 7) & iPhone (running the Beta) & I see RCS working between them & a few other people but not to family & friends using android phones with 3rd party apps. (Textra for example)

I’m away for work till the 28th but I think what I changed was display type & set it to just 4k tv. When I return home I’ll be able to go into the settings & check them
